In reply to Cam Forrest:
I agree; the angle showed a lot better on some of last night's shots and I just hope nobody else is ever tempted to copy him! It would be cool to hear about someone climbing Danny's line in its entirety but pretty sure the crux will still be the 5a cracks climbed by Stuart Johnson. Don't go claiming a FA though because its likely Danny soloed it with James and Doug Sutton on the recce
Filming was one of the most physical days I had last year.
It was a sweltering day and we didn't start climbing til 11.30 by the time the boat got us over, so the rocks were roasting. Carrying camera, base and sound gear between 4 of us was brutal. Malcy (Airey) and I had to be pretty brusque about pushing on rather than yet more filming- you can imagine their artistic eyes being in a proverbial sweet shop!
I remember him doing that piece to camera and thinking how mis-leading it was. We'd still got to reach Dubh an Da Bheinn and the descent out of Ghrunnda; knees would not have thanked me for descending by Sgumain Stone Shoot! Got down from Dubh Mor in 3 hours, by head torch, at 9.30 but at least the crew had brought fish n chips and beer!
