I have to say that I honestly haven't seen such a nice climbing film in years, if not ever. The history of the climb comes to life with the inimitable and eminently likeable Ed Drummond's, poetry and sheer presence. The scale and unlikely nature of the climb is as awe inspiring as the fulmar's are off putting and Dave's ascent is another epic monument to his single handed mission to make the traditional climbing of Scotland some of the most significant and difficult in the world. Well done to all involved.
Watch it!
Often when you watch a climbing movie on a dreich Scottish winter day there is only frustration at the end of it as the next day on rock seems an eternity away. Not for me this time. Boxing Day see's my second Christmas trip to El Chorro in as many years.
I'm totally inspired for that, and 2012 in general.
