80 Minutes of Hard Core Trad! Are You Committed?

© Hot Aches
Committed Volume One is a new climbing film by the Hot Aches (hotaches.com) crew of Paul Diffley and Dave Brown, the makers of the award winning E11, the story of Dave Macleod's ascent of Rhapsody, the first UK climb to be given the E11 grade. As I write Committed Volume One is being duplicated. Dave Brown of Hot Aches says, "An insane 12 months of filming and editing is finally over."

It'll be ready for purchase on October 15th.

Committed shows several top climbers climbing, onsight and after practice, a selection of hard trad' routes around the UK. You can see Katherine Schirrmacher on Balance It Is an E7 at Burbage in the Peaks, Jude Spancken on Pretty Girls Make Graves E6 in the Llanberis Pass, James Pearson on two E10's and of course Dave Macleod features prominently "on a mission to climb all the hardest routes." Canadian Sonnie Trotter contemplates leading Rhapsody at Dumbarton rock, Ben Cossey goes mad Grit, new routing on a Scottish island -- with guest appearances from a trio of older and very bold climbers, Johnny Dawes, Nick Dixon and John Dunne.

You can watch the Committed trailer here.

This news item could do with far less bold/italic words- it makes it completely unreadable. Even as non-native speaker am I able to find the important bits in a bit of text, don't need help for that.

E11 is now officially a brand................but who owns the trademark? How can we leverage this brand? How can we avoid it being diluted? Mick

rumour is he was planning to downgrade it to e8 after his ascent as he thought the cam would hold... oops.
