A special sneak Friday Matinee preview of what could be a classic climbing DVD :-)
If it's Friday - which it is - then it must be time for the
Friday Matinee. Except this week it's a slightly different
Friday matinee. More of a Friday Preview Matinee... [cue Pearl
and Dean music].
What are we kind of previewing? It's the latest film from
award-winning outdoors film-maker Alastair Lee which is due out in
October. Called PSYCHE, in big capital letters, it's a one and
a half hour epic featuring the best of British climbing
including....
Dave Birkett's ascent of a new E8 6b trad' route called
Skye Wall in the Skye Cuillin range. Andy Kirkpatrick and
Ian Parnell tackling desperately hard alpine routes in
Patagonian winter conditions plus sport climbing maestro Steve
McClure crimping away on his numerous 9a routes.
On top of that you'll also find extras including footage from a
Canadian road trip, the ridiculous 'Touching Myself' short first seen
in Storms - The Movie and more.
But wait, where's the footage?
Steve McClure climbing Mutation, 9a...
Birkett on his new route, Skye Wall, in the
Cuillins.... 'It's all, erm, scary...'
Parnell and Kirkpatrick contemplating climbing in
Patagonia in winter ...

Looks like another cracking Al Lee film. Like we said, available

leave you to salivate over the clips :-)
