> This film really belongs in the mainstream as they have been able to capture the human side of Dave and his wife and not produced the type of adrenaline and testosterone vid that quite frankly bores the shite out of me. ....Medals and Baftas for all involved. A thouroughly engrossing 40 mins.

Agreed it's an excellent climbing film, and Channel4 could do a lot worse, but Medals and BAFTAs?
As climbing films go, it's good. Dave comes across as an excellent bloke, and there's no doubting his nerve and ability, but..
Sorry, bits of it weren't brilliant, IMHO some problems with sound levels. You turned up the volume to her the conversation, then in crashed the really irritating and amateurish 'BMC weather forecast' bits. Also, much as I liked MC Hastas music, I don't think he added much to it in the main feature, though I loved the pschye edit....
Good as climbing films go.
