Description
The climbers in this film aren’t necessarily the strongest but they have the biggest kahooners(!); willing to take a 30 foot fall for the ultimate on sight ascent.
In the age of indoor gym climbing and pre-practiced ascents, On Sight gets back to the basics of climbing, the simple game of getting to the top using only your strength, skill and bottle!
On Sight features an all star cast in spectacular locations on extraordinary routes produced in stunning High Definition.
Climbers Include; Pete Robins, James McHaffie, Leo Houlding, Adam Long, Ricky Bell, Dave Birkett, Ian Parnell, Neil Gresham, Jordan Buys, Gaz Parry, Ben Bransby, Jack Geldard, Jon Winters, Nick Bullock, Nico Faverese, Neil Dickson….. as well as insightful commentary by veterans of the game like John Redhead, Jerry Moffet and Ron Fawcett.
On Location In – Iceland (Ian Parnell and Neil Gresham ice climbing at Kaldakinn), Ireland (Ricky Bell amazing first ascent on the huge Fairhead seacliffs), Scotland (insane winter climbing with Ian Parnell and Jon Winters), North Wales; Gogarth E8 on sight attempts, grade myths are shattered in Llanberris Pass, first ground up ascents at Cloggy as well as the story of 'Strawberries' a notoriously un-on-sightable route!
