We got in touch with Dan to get some more details about The Magna Strata, to see how it compares to some of his other hard boulders, and to ask what else he's been up to recently.
Superlatives describing just how brilliant this sheet of rock is aside, it shouldn't be understated just what a significant addition Dan's ascent is in the development of climbing in the Highlands. A big and brilliant deal for those that care. Really inspiring.
Great article and interview. Interesting choice of shoe, the Stix V2. Not known as a slab slipper, but a fabulous shoe nonetheless. Such a pity Scarpa don't make them any more.
