In 2017, around a month after his historic ascent of "Rainman" 9b, Steve McClure was back at Malham Cove to complete the "Triple Crown Challenge"
Originally a climbing feat of folklore scale, the challenge was to climb 3 8a+ routes, one on each of the "Yorkshire Big 3" cliffs (Kinsey, Gordale Scar and Malham Cove) all in a single day, and travelling between them by human power alone.
It took 2 attempts, the first only lost by a whisker, for Steve to compete the challenge.
This shot was taken on "The Groove" 8a+ at Malham Cove, the last of the 3 challenge routes.
On this attempt, however, Steve fell near the top due to utter exhaustion, and the fact that the day had originally started off as a recce that got out of hand!
The film of the challenge is on YouTube channel - Search "Steve McClure Triple Crown" and you'll find it.

"We Need to Talk About Kev"

Kev Shields is a professional climber from Scotland.
Having made his name with some incredible solos and bold trad ascents, he more recently has faced injury troubles and mental battles.

"We Need to Talk About Kev" is a "rock climbing film" focused less on the rock and more on the climber. And they don't come much bigger in character!

Spent a wholesome day yesterday filming the end of our Coracle Project.
It's exceptionally grounding to watch these talented craftspeople pull together their skills to create such a remarkable craft.
100% natural materials and it looks stunning!
Looking forward to pulling the process together in an edit to show the construction of these ancient crafts from start to finish!leather
