Ardverikie Wall Free Solo

Soloing the classic multipitch Scottish rock climb, Ardverikie Wall HS on Binnein Shuas. It was my first time filming myself climbing in this way. I'll hopefully improve on it in future videos on this channel. I'd love to do more of these, it was so much fun!

i don't ever watch these climbing videos and not think "what a crazy mofo!" goddamn and flying a drone at the same time is beyond nuts

[vengal]

This should be an advertisement video for DJI

[muh]

I’ve been following your channel for a couple of years now and I’ve got to say the quality of videos gets better and better - but this takes it to another level! The editing and camera work here is fantastic, definitely your best to date.

[OlofStorm]

Fantastic content Dave! You really nailed it here!

[raiemie]

what ? did he really just film himself with a drone while free soloing ? hahahah this is amazing



also the landscape is gorgeous I wanna go so bad

If your videos were made with an old webcam and no editing skills they still would constitute the best climbing content on youtube. But they are also beautifully shot, and the amount of editing work and attention to detail they get make me feel honored to be able to just watch them. Thank you for making them!

great vid Dave, really nice to see you enjoying great routes at the easier end of the grade spectrum and reminding us mere mortals that great lines on good rock dont have to be desperate

[BoulderingBobat]

V cool my dude well done! also nice drone shots

[lewskiiiii]

Amazing! I’m so glad you are utilising technology to capture your adventures. They’re just too impressive to go undocumented! Bravo!

[RobbiePhillips]

Kinda hypnotic with the music 🎧 Nice work Dave

Best route on the mainland.
Very like climbing on Skye. Down to the polish, the clean rock.
A fine show, Dave, all I remembered was a long walk in and blue skies.
It came back in a rush...beautiful.

Amazing to watch the movement on the rock, makes it look too easy😍

[GabrielConstantinides]

Dave this video is absolutely astonishing, thanks so much for making and sharing it. Fantastic content, the music, the climbing, the landscape, the quality, the many viewing angles (no particular order)

[malcolmgraham]

Lovely calm climbing on a route many of us have done / could do. A change from the desperates - thanks.

[TreaderTube]

Love the behind-the-scenes. Awesome work!

[marcushill]

After watching this brilliant video I was inspired to go and climb this route. It was a long walk in and we spent 5 hours on the wall but it was worth it, the rock was amazing and the view was beautiful. Thanks Dave, we would never have gone to climb this without your video.

[MinecraftEAT]

Absolutely incredible work, Dave! The combination of video making prowess, confidence and capability while climbing - to the point of actively operating a drone while free soloing is inspiring.

[Cyvx]

free soloing and cotrolling a drone, next lvl :D

[sqreon]

What a beautiful piece of rock! Awesome to see the behind the scenes
