Profile of a Lakeland Rockclimber.
The latest film by the multi-award winning adventure filmmakers Alastair Lee
and David Halsted has all the hallmarks of becoming one of the most
significant British climbing films in years. The film charts the routes of
arguably the worlds greatest traditional climber; Dave Birkett. ‹Set in Stone›
charts Dave’s remarkable passion for climbing and the pursuit for a magical
line on his beloved Lakeland crags. Featuring the first ascent of ‹Return of
the King› E9 6c, Dave’s latest addition to Scafell’s East Buttress – just one
of many Lakeland masterpieces including the extraordinary ‹Nowt Burra Flee’in
Thing› (E8 6c) – Cam Crag, Wasdale Screes; a stunningly evocative line. All
filmed using innovative techniques, including ‹The Brief History of Birkett ‹
animation which covers the 70 year Birkett family legacy. DVD
Auch Set in Stone spielt in England, sogar ’nur› im Lake District. Trotzdem
wirkt das Lake District wie ein eigener, grandioser Cosmos in dem Dave Birkett
‹arguably the world’s greatest traditional climber› seinen vertikalen
Spielplatz hat.
