The First Great Climb

A few months ago I worked on 'The First Great Climb' by Triple Echo Productions

Theres still a couple of days to watch this on iPlayer - BBC

The story - "Almost 140 years ago, three men crossed from the Hebridean island of Lewis to the north west coast of Scotland. Their aim was audacious: to be the first people to stand on the top of the Great Stack of Handa, an isolated pillar of rock. Failure would have meant certain death. Success, won against all the odds, gave birth to a new sport.

Using the equipment and clothing of the time, three of Scotland's best climbers attempt to emulate a feat that is now almost forgotten."

Awesome looking film.

The Great Climb - BAFTA

The Great Climb programme, which I was lucky enough to be part of has won a Scottish BAFTA for live event coverage.

Well done to all involved and a big congratulations to the Triple Echo Productions team who produced the programme for the BBC - well deserved indeed.  After the frustrations of the first attempt Triple Echo were brave to attempt a live climb again, this time it succeeded, and its great to see their efforts recognised.
