A few clips from Paul Cunningham’s YouTube channel featuring some wonderful vintage footage of Scottish routes… Great stuff. The first clip is my favorite – the whole process of traveling on the bike, across the ferry, ending up at the pub – just makes me smile. According to the comments, much of the footage, including the ferry ride is from different areas and climbs, but it ultimately tells a story and that’s what I like.
Rare footage by Yvon Chouinard, initially created for National Geographic featuring John Cunningham climbing an unspecified climb on Ben Nevis in 1976.
John Cunningham and Creagh Dhu climbing The Cobbler in 1978.
Chouinard got it right (he usually did) with the film of John Cunningham climbing Ben Nevis. It captures the nonchalant attitude of a cool climber just off to climb a mountain. Some people play golf on Sunday mornings. Cunningham carves routes up a slope.
