Here's a little 5-minute short on The Old Man of Hoy, with Andy Cave and Simon Nadin climbing it for the cameras.

Nope. Only UK people can see it. DAMN.

[rydra_wong]

Sorry it's not accessible for you. Apparently some proxies can get around it, but obviously that's dependent on having the time/tech skills.

[wpadmirer]

Yeah, I might be able to get around it, but it would take time and skill that I may not possess. (grin)

Have some alternative sea cliff action instead:

Cool! Thanks!

It's quite the climb! 5 pitches of E1 5b,4c still a bit beyond me...

[rydra_wong]

You've got to have goals, and that could be a damn fine one. If you like that sort of thing. *g*

P.S.

If you have a hankering after it, The Long Hope (which is excellent!) has Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner climbing the original route as one of the extras.
