Video: The Ben Nevis Ledge Route Captured by Drone

At 1344 meters (4409 ft) in height, Ben Nevis is the tallest mountain in the British Isles. While that doesn't sound like a daunting altitude, as you'll see in this video Ben Nevis is a significant climbing challenge none the less. It was shot along the Ledge Route using a DJI Phantom drone to capture the spectacular footage. The results are dramatic and eye opening, with some incredibly beautiful shots of a mountain that holds legendary status in the British climbing community. Even more impressive, this footage was shot just last Friday, and is a great demonstration of what filmmakers can do with the tools at their disposal today.

Video: Meet Deaf Climber Andre Hedger

If you're looking for a bit of inspiration today than look no further than this video. It features climber Andre Hedger, who first started rock climbing at the age of four, but then lost his hearing at a result of meningitis at the age of five. Andre doesn't let his lack of hearing serve as an impediment to his goals however, and as you'll see in the video from EpicTV he is actually very active in helping to teach others both sign language and how to climb. Despite his busy lifestyle, he also finds time to continue his own training and tackle some challenging climbs of his own.
