Previously thwarted by the weather, Charlie Woodburn’s perseverance in trying to repeat Dave Birkett’s Skye Wall (E8 6b), finally paid off on his fourth visit to the Isle of Skye. The impressive vertical to just-off vertical sweep of gabbro was described by Dave 'as the most awesome wall of rock in the UK' and until now his 2007 route had remained unrepeated. A film by Dom Bush.

Long term Alpkiteer Ramon Marin has climbed some of the hardest mixed and ice routes in the world. Balancing a full time job he has an unwavering passion and determination for maximising his time outside of this to embrace climbing in all forms, simply for the love of it. 'From winter to summer, in a blink of an eye. No time to be idle, as it always appears. I don't know what it is really, perhaps knowing that there's so much to do, to explore, to wonder. That propels me forward. Always hungry for more.'

In the early 1970’s the border city of Carlisle became an unlikely epicentre for hard traditional climbing and a scene developed that rivaled any in the UK. The atmosphere was competitive, a new E-grading system was born and new milestones were set. Eden is set around a little known crag close to Carlisle called Armathwaite, it was a meeting place and training venue for the Penrith and Carlisle teams who were looking to make their mark on the British crags.

In the frame is a documentary about rock climbing that takes place in Shepherds Crag. It was directed by Dom Bush in 2013 and produced by Land and Sky Media. It features Joe Beaumont.
