.vidi in the Peak earlier this month.

It was a pleasure to spend a few days at the crag with Pietro during his short visit to the U.K. After meeting him in Chamonix earlier this summer it was exciting to get a text from him saying that he was coming over for a couple of weeks before heading to Yosemite.

It was a delight to watch someone climb these things with such ease and seemingly no fear of hitting the deck. So much ease it sometimes made it difficult to photograph so I was secretly pretty excited when he fell off the Groove a couple times… thanks mate!

No Place Like Home 2/3

Whilst filming for No Place Like Home the three of us agreed there’s a certain charm to the Lake District that is unlike anywhere else we’ve ever visited. We weren’t sure exactly what it was but that it felt special.

Jim and I were very lucky to spend much of our childhoods in the Lake District and for me it’s the place of all my earliest experiences of the outdoors.

The aim for the film and these images in particular was to encapsulate as much of that youthful excitement and passion for the outdoors as possible, which extended much further than the climbing itself.

Documenting this project was a joy and for a weekend it felt like being a child out in the fells again.

You can watch the film over on the YouTube channel.

Cloudgate

I remember the first time Jim described this perfect bean like blob of rock at Cratcliffe. He showed me a photograph of it stating that it was even more impressive in person and the photos didn’t do it justice.

Five years on I joined Jim and following a successful session the week before. The conditions were awful for him but for me and Sam the light was magical and we loved every second of it.

If you can I encourage you to go and see it for yourself because Jim was right. Even with amazing light the photos really still don’t do it justice!

I also encourage you to go and watch the beautiful short video of the first ascent 🎥
