The three main films are:

MAGIC NUMBERS

Steve McClure is Britain's most accomplished sport climber as the awesome action footage in this mini profile demonstrates. Featuring Steve on his many 9a's at Britain's steepest limestone crags including his latest Kilnsey crimpfest. Plus an 8c first ascent and an 8b flash during the late hours of a French climbing festival, party! (26mins)

Dave Birkett goes in search of his dream line in the remote setting of Skye's famous Cuillin Range. This stunning and gripping adventure results in one of the year's most significant first ascents; Skye Wall E8 6b. (20mins)
