"People's Choice Award" - Kendal Mountain Film Festival ----

In one legendary week on Ben Nevis in 1960 Jimmy Marshall and Robin Smith climbed six first winter ascents on consecutive days, including the mini Alpine-route, Orion Face Direct. They also made the first one-day winter ascent of Point Five Gully, went for a long walk and got arrested over an incident with some dominoes! Exactly 50 years later Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner pay tribute to Smith and Marshall by setting out to repeat all the routes that were climbed in that famous week. This film tells the story of the original events and follows MacLeod and Turner as they discover exactly what an achievement it was. 5 Star Review - Climb Magazine - "A beautifully crafted film"

Really enjoyed this movie. Cant wait to climb 2 of the routes when i get over to ben nevis next winter. Ì also love climbing films where the old hands reminisce about how climbing used to be done and how climbers have it easy now. 2 thumbs up for step cutting and non front pointing crampons

Inspiration 17 Feb 2012
This is a beautifully put together film - the right balance of interviews and inspiring climbing footage, nicely presented within the historical context of that famous week. Fabulous choice of music too. Highly recommended to anyone considering climbing on the Ben in winter. Be inspired!

By AndyB
Another Hotaches gem, as expected some great camera work that really gives the viewer a feel for the action.

The film itself has some links to the history of the Ben and some great interviews. MacLeod and Turner climbing the routes 50 years on and showing some of the different techniques used, step cutting doesn't look easy.

Definately worth watching for inspiration for ice climbing.
