Just watched this on BBC iPlayer, it's well worth a look if you are into walking in Scotland, not just a Munro bagger. Nick Crane of 'Coast' presents and Alan Hinkes ans Martin Moran are featured too.
Only thing I will say is that the ascent of the Inn Pin is a lot easier in my memory of soloing it in 1968 than they make it seem in this doco Scared me to death to think about it while watching this

In reply to Al Evans: Enjoyable programme isn't it. I always think that stuff like the Inn Pinn and Crib Goch etc are multi dimentional as they are a big deal for 'walkers and ramblers' but we are climbers and have conditioned our brains to exposure so much more so the climbs are mere scrambles for us. I have to force myself to remember that when taking noobies out too, a scrambly solo for me would be a huge undertaking and as close to the 'edge' as a noobie may ever have gone before.
