Curved Ridge, Buachaille Etive Mòr - Scramble up and fly down.

Buachaille Etive Mòr means 'the Great Herdsman of Etive', and the mountain stands like a guardian at the head of Glen Coe. My favourite route is Curved Ridge, a wonderful mountaineering line in both summer and winter.
In this episode of my Mountain Days Vlog I climb Curved Ridge at sunrise, getting to the summit in smooth air so that I can fly down on my lightweight paraglider.
Wing: Niviuk Kode P

WTF!!!! Balls of steel! I never listened properly and heard words such as "flying at the top" and I thought you were talking about launching you drone. And then I'm thinking, but he's already got the drone up, what's the concern and then WOW! FFS! LOL! I'm gobsmacked! I only just worked up the courage to do the CR last years but never in a million did I imagine people doing this! Great video! Defo the best way to get down!

Absolutely superb video, Rob. Your use of the drone to identify your location and the character of the route was brilliant - I have never seen anything like it before. I hope you have a good few weeks on Skye and I will look forward, hopefully, to seeing a few more of your videos from there. All the best, Ian.

Thanks Ian, I’m home from Skye now and we had a great couple of weeks. One of my favourite places in the world!

12:10 Soloed Curved Ridge myself back in the day with a total novice, Hayden Morgan. Being 19 years old we were a bit over optimistic, we followed the mountain top ridge down towards Glen Etive and then climbed back up Bidean Nam Bian and descended Ant Srion back home to the Glencoe Outdoor Centre (BIG ROUTE PLAN!!!). Thanks 🙏👍 for your exquisite film, brought it all back.

Stunning. You couldn't have picked a more perfect day for it. Been up CR many times and it's a superb route (the whole hill is incredible) but the wing looks like a fantastic addition. Subscribed.

New subscriber I’m almost lost for words. When you said “ and see if we can fly off the top “ or words to that effect I thought did I just hear that right ? Fly off the top ? And yes I heard right. Absolutely incredible. Stunning photography and just all around amazing. What a beautiful view over Rannoch Moor. The flight down blew me away.

How does it compare to some of the G2s on Tryfan or Glyder Fach in Snowdonia? It does look like a wonderful scramble in the most majestic of settings! Thanks for sharing this footage, I really enjoyed it.

The grades compare well, it’s somewhere between a two and a three. It’s a beautiful ridge.

Another great video Rob. How does your Kode P compare to your single skin in terms of pack size and weight?

@RobJohnson 2 ай бұрын

It weighs about 300g more and the pack size is very similar. For me it is well worth that little bit of extra weight for the extra performance that it gives me - mainly in terms of wind penetration.

It's lovely isn't it. It's the instrumental version of "Shadow over the Green Village" by Dr Paranoid. I got it on Artlist.io which is a music licensing platform for film makers.
