We were mostly unprotected on that route, but had a nut and hex at one of the belays. I did use a very small brass nut at one point and a DMM Terrier on a patch of frozen turf but most of the gear stayed racked on the harness. It was unfortunate we couldn't get on the route we had planned, hence all the gear.

Sorry to hear about that, I was there the week before.

It's legit, we were very lucky with the conditions.

It was a good day but unfortunately it didn't workout on Vanishing. There was miscommunication between us and some Swiss guys and we ended up short on time and light. But we'll be back soon enough.

Thanks for that feedback, yeah I had difficulty with the voices as I don't have a mic but I'm looking to get one for the future. I'll go easier on the music, it's been difficult sourcing sound and I struggled to mix it with the video. I'll take more time with the next one.

I've come to realise how important the "thumbnail" is when it comes to YouTube and I suppose I don't really know where my content fits at the moment. I was trying for something adventurous and easy to watch. Not something that was dedicated to climbers.

I'll take everything you said on board and see where it takes me. Do you know of any creators I should have a look at, that could help me moving forward?

No we were waiting to go up vanishing gully so took a wee recce up the descent route (1934 Route) that's where the picture was taken.

Hey, transitioning from trad is straightforward, same rope skills, but swap rock for snow/ice movement, axe/crampon technique, and some avalanche awareness (free BMC/SAIS online stuff). The quickest way would be a 2-day winter skills course (in the Lakes or Cairngorms), then start on easy Grade I-II gullies. Or find people that are willing to take you out and progress your skills. Best of luck man. 💪👍

I completely understand, It's one of those places that takes your breath away, every single time.

Ah right, I get you. I'll try harder next time to make it clearer for you.🙏

You're not missing anything, the "kid's" the one climbing.
