Hot Aches Productions have released their new short Free Flow with Hazel Findlay. In the film, Hazel enjoys an epic day of mountain running and solo climbing in Snowdonia. Stunning shots combine with a considered soundtrack and introspection from one of the world's best rock climbers.
Superb video - the first route is Californian Arete, and I identified the other two crags as Dinas Cromlech and Dinas Mot, but what are the routes Hazel is climbing on both?
Interesting to see it was Mr MacLeod doing the drone photography, Dave seems to be doing quite a good sideline with that with some lovely films from Scotland too.
Are there issues with using drones in National Parks? Do you need permits or anything official like that?
Looks like Diagonal (HVS 5a) in the first clip where she traverses underneath the square roof. She tops out on a different route though - seems to be the top pitch of West Rib (HVS 5a) I think.

Oh, the making of video says it’s Cemetery Gates at Cromlech, but what’s the other one?

Dave Mac - strongest drone operator in Scotland!
