Thought it was going to be boring when I realised there wasn't any bikes involved, but that was pretty cool.

Quite an impressive film angle - telescopic pole strapped to your back?

cheers guys! got some brillaint footage from the black run at laggan wolftrax, working on it now. The gopro was on a telescopic clip stick used for climbing, gives a brilliant perspective on the bike.

Fantastic footage, very well put together.

I can't believe I did Crib Goch when I was 17, it looks mental now! I do remember it being a bit hairy though.

That is excellent!

One question though. Why did you park at the bottom of Tryfan to climb Crib Goch? ๐Ÿ˜‰

I remember doing that about 20 years ago. Nice perspective.

The unusual camera angles certainly appear to make it more airy than it actually is. Interesting vid though.

Well, I know you didn't fall off and die, because you're posting it on the internet, however I still winced about once every 5 seconds watching that. Nice video, but not recommended for those scared of heights!

Great film. Crib Goch is such a great scamble, you did well to have no cloud! I want to go back now after seeing that.

Love the camera angle for giving a sense of exposure!
Did you go a bit off piste on the ascent as there seemed to be too much vegetation for a well worn route.

Yeah didnt want to follow the usual approach, the intention was to tackle some of the more technical steeper lines, made things abit more interesting lol

nice, not been there for years now - it was very foggy and icy when my mate and i did it and remember a couple getting stuck on the top (the guy's nerves went, lass leading him was fine) and wanted to go back the way he had climbed - took us 20 minutes to convince him it wasn't the best of ideas!
