Britain???s sea cliffs have a huge variety of trad climbing: steep or slabby, loose or friendly, easy or... slightly more challenging. But always unique. The Seaside captures the climbers who are drawn to these challenges, onsight on the routes they would have been climbing even if the camera wasn???t on them, right across the English and Welsh coast. Don???t forget your prusiks.

The amount of work involved in this is massive. Anyone who has tried to make a film will appreciate this. There is some really good footage of sea cliff climbing which I know from bitter experience is hard won. Well done Mike.

What a great film, understated and mellow.  Nice to shine a light on some less well known crags, though some of that Range choss is probably best left unknown.  Earthly Powers looks amazing, one for the ticklist.

Just to echo James above - the sheer effort involved in the making of this film is totally inspiring, together with this and Mike’s recent climbing accident I’m in awe of his drive and commitment. The sea cliffs of this country are our best assets and this film shows them off in a splendid, peculiar and downbeat way. Not a Redbull in sight. 

Well done! 

P.s gizzus ya dws footage? ;-)

Aside from some sound issues, this is really good. Making me long for an adventure - which I'm pretty sure is the point.

Couldn't agree more. I really enjoyed this, it feels like a truly genuine portrayal of UK sea cliff climbing; and it has saved me from ever being dragged to the Range.
