Have you been to the Alps much? I love the Scottish hills, but the weather is so wild. I appreciate the severe and bleak weather is part of their beauty, but for a change I went to the Austrian Alps last Summer, and the high Alpine paths have plenty of Liathach style exposure and thrills, but you'll be in a T-Shirt and sweating at 2,500m without a breath of wind, above any clouds so you can see for miles.
@halifaxtanning yes we went to austria this year but took the scottish weather with us. i've posted videos up on my other youtube account - johnfleetwood
@johnfleetwood If you go back I recommend the schesaplana and panuelerkopf in vorarlberg. They have a very well developed hut network so you can stay at height for a few days. I noticed that anything as exposed as Liathach had a via ferrata on it too. Some purists dislike this, but personally I think this means you can safely take people with you who would otherwise be too scared.
Great Video. is this any harder than Crib Goch?

hi - you can miss out the more difficult bits in which case its easier tan crib goch, but overall I'd say its more committing
