First and Second ascents of Bultitude, 8B+
Dave MacLeod has made the first ascent of Bultitude, 8B+, near Inverness, Scotland.
People in the wider world of climbing tend to hear about my climbing through the well known films E11 or Echo Wall or my book 9 out of 10 climbers make the same...

That was brilliant. First film I've seen that really makes it clear how terrifyingly sketchy that thing is.
Indeed, I found Dave's breathing on the sound track during the climb haunting.
Spots of rain on the lens at the top out 🤦♂️🥳
Two things.
1) What a brilliant piece of filming and more importantly, climbing.
2) Scarpa, FFS keep making brilliant shoes that work amazingly one every situation. Like the Stix. And stop changing them. We like them as they are.
But mostly 1)

Absolutely nothing to add to 1). The way he motors through that top section is breathtakingly incredible. It also increased my amazement at the audacity and capability of Dawes, who, after all, did not have the prior knowledge that the thing was actually humanly possible.
