Few thought that Rhapsody (E11) would be bettered anytime soon, but the first ascent of Echo Wall high on the north face of Ben Nevis brought another rise in world standards in trad climbing. Echo Wall is a strong contender for the world’s hardest traditional rock climb. The film follows Dave’s preparation and attempts on Echo Wall, through some of Scotland’s most beautiful mountains and climbing venues. Dave’s preparation routes; a free solo of Darwin Dixit (8b+) in Spain and the winter route Don’t Die (XI) on Ben Nevis are also featured. Filmed and produced by Dave’s wife Claire MacLeod, this film charts the story of a new level of determination and calculated risk taking in rock climbing. Filmed in 2008. Winner of seven international film awards including a BAFTA Scotland New Talent Award for Best Director.
