New Alastair Lee Film Premiere This Week

Alastair Lee's latest film, On Sight premieres this Thursday 16 October in Sheffield and even before it's official release, it's being touted as the most eagerly anticipated and ground-breaking British climbing film since Hard Grit.


According to Ed Douglas writing in the November issue of Climber magazine, not only are some of the ascents covered in the film 'mind boggling', but it goes far beyond that, highlighting the raw intensity of climbing hard routes 'on sight' - that is, with no practice or rehearsal - and allowing the climbers themselves to talk passionately about the difference between on-sighting and the rehearsed, mechanical process of rehearsed attempts.


On Sight is, reckons Douglas, Lee's best film yet, which given his track record, is a pretty impressive achievement. The cast list isn't bad either with a small crag-full of top climbers including the likes of Leo Houlding, Dave Birkett, Ian Parnell, Gaz Parry and more, with comment from the likes of John Redhead and Jerry Moffet.

Anyway, don't take our word for it. You can find more details, clips, stills, trailers and so on at www.posingproductions.com You can also buy a copy of the DVD online.
