Like the music. Something like Afro Celt Sound System?
Good work Dave

1. Relieved that Dave didn't end up hurting that bonny wee tree.
2. Also a bit sad for Dave that he seems to always be climbing alone.

Tuuuuuneee! Sometimes I wish I was Scottish just so I could go bouldering in the wilderness and make cool movies with interesting music and get away with it :P

More likely to be a hidden pocket...

Joking aside, good video and extra marks for the innovative use of a waterproof.

Haha, amazing. That video could only be made more Scottish if he did it wearing a (Mountain Equipment) kilt.

Haha Mountain Equipment must be loving this video. Maybe time to start the umbrella production.
