That was me behind you coming down Jacob’s ladder!! I’m taking spikes next time I do the winter… Despite the conditions, the views were stunning! Definitely helped :)
Great video, I’ll say hello next time!

man! You are amazing. I'm dreaming of coming and beating the Fan Dance Challenge. I hope to come someday, take on the challenge, and meet you.

enjoyed watching it. Brings back memories. I did a reserve and winter 88 selection passed it in summer 89. Only one to get into my sqn at the time. Hard work. But well worth it. Got to say Brecon if far harder and better than Ranger school.

Great video. Where do you camp at these events I’d be interested in the location even if wild camping.

Great video! Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

I imagine those trekking poles got quite the workout.😁 personally,I’d use the poles and walking cleats on that ice.

ive only watched the first 4 minutes and the DS are telling you all what I commented about on one of your other vidoes. You could do this in winter stak bollock naked and still over heat if your working hard. Which is exactly what your supposed to be doing.
You need your warm kit for only when you stop or have to stop because injures etc. rest of time its just carried if in case its needed.
