In reply to paul mitchell:

The climbing looked excellent, but what was even better was the chance rescue of the fox. Another great line from the master of Fair Head psyche.

For the fox rescue alone I decided this was my favourite ever climbing film when I first saw it - Ricky is a legend.

There's bold and then there's BOLD! Great (non)line too.

A climbing clip with good music, somethings amiss. Great effort though.

What a crackin' fillum. Loved the fox tale and despite having done hundreds of daft solos 'back in the day' I couldn't help thinking "silly boy". But I'm old. And scared of heights. And can't climb. He sure can.

Ace vid and great effort by the lad, thumbs up [or is that down coz I'm in Oz?]

AP.

Initially I hooked into this presuming it was about a sea journeyed bottle and message from yesteryear with some story derived of therein. How amazing was that bit of climbing; plus, everything else about the video was awesome. Not what I expected and a breath of coastal fresh air. No American Pap and the way to do it.

I've no great yen for watching  soloing films but this was just so much better than anything I've seen recently, particularly films about monotonous big wall sport routes.

One of several videos in the series 'through the green door,' all of which are excellent I think

great video, heart in mouth stuff

Jesus christ, talk about heart in mouth. Despite not being able to feel those holds, that looks every bit E9. No amount of pads or rapid belayer is going to help there! Hats off. 

In reply to paul mitchell:

A master class in foot work! So solid, and no hestiation or adjusting after committing to any of the tiny holds. Impressive!!
