The bulk of my work has been two fantastic film shoots with Triple Echo Productions.

More on those when I have some pics to show you through from Triple ...

Along with Lukasz Warzecha we are producing a limited edition of 100 fine art prints of his great image above showing the first ascent of The Longhope route, E10/11, Orkney.

The prints are A3, unframed with a white border and are printed on Ilford Pearl paper and are £75 (shipping worldwide as always).The actual print is not watermarked ...

Yesterday at 20:40 Dave Macleod was sat on top of St John's Head having just completed the first ascent of Longhope Direct. The full route, at 500m, took Dave and And y just under 10 hours to complete. The Guillotine pitch - Lukasz Warzecha When asked about the grade, an elated Dave said that he isn't entirely sure just yet, but knows that it's definitely harder than Rhapsody (E11 7a), the route he climbed at Dumbarton Rock in 2006.
