Some people seemed surprised by my video of soloing an 8b+ In this vlog I go through why I did it, why it wasn't that risky and why not doing it was a bigger risk than doing it. The footage of the solo is part of the movie Echo Wall. You can still stream, download or buy the DVD from the shop here.
An extract from the movie Echo Wall https://www.davemacleod.com/shop/echowall from 2008 where I free solo Darwin Dixit (8b+ but at the time graded 8c) as a bit of a training exercise to get my head around doing 8c on trad on my project, Echo Wall on Ben Nevis.
