Special thanks to: Ryan Balharry (@ryan_balharry) for amazing camera work and never ending support on the climb 🎥 Erica Izzi (@acireama) for the graphics and Adobe tech support when I was losing my mind mid-edit 🫠 Paul Diffley (@hotachesproductions) for letting me use the images from the start of his original longhope film Marie Taggart (@marieclaretaggart) for helping me find the golden thread to pull this altogether and helping me to make sure as many people saw the film as humanly possible! And so many folk who helped promote the film, reviewed it and provide feedback, and who were genuinely there when I needed a helping hand :)

37:55 emotional peak of the film, the fact that robbie is scared throughout doing this is a crazy confidence boost honestly. i see good rock climbers as super human for their ability to get over the height and the danger, but it could be me with enough balls.

I’ve always felt our experiences as climbers are mostly quite similar no matter what level you’re at. It’s all relative :) Everyone gets scared, it’s just how we manage it at the time that makes the difference.

Great film. You really managed to share the experience with us. So honest. And the joy of success, so clear. Now I understand the true value of the route. I have always feared that repeat ascents would not start at the bottom but only half way up. Alex's comments chime with my experience: Similar amateur training whilst working along way away. Upper wall relatively solid, particularly crux pitch. Lower wall a challenge. If you think of it, the lower wall must have had at least 30 ascents or attempts over the years and as far as I know no serious injuries. So just needs good dodgy rock technique: push down, not pull out. ...and if you do not have the margin, keep away. Not that either Ed, nor I in particular, had any margin, learning on the job. For a job as a journalist for ED. For me my holiday.....as Alex's. I am not sure either of us had any enjoyment, except when the sun came out and the puffins flapped. And we got to the top and home. Thanks both of you for explaining the purpose of the route, and indeed the purpose of climbing. One omission : John Arran and Dave Turnbull's First Free Ascent in 1997. They and Ed paved the way. I helped them keep going on route; and encouraged Dave Macleod to make it straighter!
