Dave found us the one dry rock in the Highlands and we made a great day of it - Go check out his channel if you haven't already!
Damn Stannis Baratheon can climb!
Your work is so underrated Andrew🙌🏼 like watching a little movie every time. Keep up the amazing work man 👌🏼
That man has such a serenity and calmness. Great video again and nice to see you climb as well Andrew!
Incredible climbing and an incredible bit of film-making from you Andrew. One of my absolute fave film-makers on YT. Off to send in the lake District (Carrock) rn and you just got me hella physced! 😅
Crush it 💪🏻
@@AndrewMacFarlane Cheers man!!
Dude, Honestly, your style of presentation and view on climbing is my favourite and despite my bias I think you are going to quickly become one of the best climbing channels
He certainly does have a refreshing take on things, and a knack for finding extremely interesting / motivational people to spotlight. Keep it up Andrew.
Dave is my spirit animal.
Just really high quality content. Wasn't expecting that at all.
Great video, loving the content on your page.
Dave is a legend :D
Epic!
I imagine young Dave nailing boulders at Dumby back in the day xD
Wow! Subbed!
Didn't know Stannis Baratheon was such a good climber....
A very refreshing documentary style atheistic to your climbing videos Andrew, which I feel will fill a relatively untapped space. As someone who has battled with climbers elbow for over two years now, I wish there had been more mainstream focus on injury prevention on youtube in the past. Keep up the great work.

Awesome man! Love how Dave tells his stories so beautifully. The shot of you climbing "The Dude" was absolutely elating
Wow! Best climbing content out there right now! Each video is better than the next.
I don't think it's any one thing. Can't really put my finger on it. Music, production quality, Adrew's personality... These videos are just for what ever reason really really enjoyable and of very high quality. Thank you!
This is so well shot, directed, and edited. Keep up the great work!
Andrew and Dave, I'm going to be in Scotland and Ireland in September for the first time and I've been toying around with the idea of finding a few boulders to break up some parts of the trip along the way. I SWEAR this came at the perfect time! Thanks for the content as always and thanks for the idea! I'll definitely be visiting the Ruthven Boulder!
Take this to heart Andrew, as I wasn't a fan in the beginning when you edited in random laughs etc - but DAMN DUDE! Easily one of the best climbing channels on youtube! Super fucking sick!
lol gotta test things out to figure out what works haha glad you're enjoying the recent stuff!
nice to see them climb!
You've really put some work into this one and it shows! Great job man. I loved the scenery shots. Where can I find the full version of the violin track?
The first song in the vid is called 'Fall' by Cathedral :)
Great video Andrew, fantastic work documenting some amazing problems, would love to see you crush more outdoor boulders with mentors like Dave. Just a great resource to have these lines on youtube.
Thanks for pointing out the 8b+ free solo! How could I not know?
Climbing with Stans Baratheon, what a catch!
Fantastic wee film! Also great for beta. Ruthven is my local boulder!
Dave's truly a master of movement!
What is that content quality? Insane!
I’m not gonna lie, I can’t explain to you how jealous I am
Damn! That’s pretty much all I can say... loved every second of this. And man, Dave was absolutely crushing it 😵
Oh, I forgot. Congrats on your send. That boulder looked so sick.
Really great video! Well done!
"The Dude" looks like super cool climbing!!
Awesome video. What a beautiful landscape. Time for me to get outta the gym!
GREAT FUCKING VIDEO!
that drone shot is beautiful
This captures what climbing outside is like incredibly well, good vibes, peaceful, challenging... you really nailed it.
Really nice video andrew!
Awesome, again!
What drone do you use? I'd like to get one, but i'm not sure which model I need.
We used Dave's drone which is DJI Mavic Pro... I really want one too.
Awesome video as always Andrew!!
2:30 Iam happy to see even a extremly expierienced climber like him still readjust his grip
EDIT: i noticed Dave readjusts his grip a lot-ish also compared to andrew were both climbed the same route @4:06 @5:04 Andrew did not readjust that hold while Dave did. Maybe it's just a habit of dave :)
That was awesome edit. You know, I really love it when a video manage to let me forget where iam currently and Take me on a trip into a different place. The Music was so calm and atmospheric, love it. Also tomorrow in a weak i'll go on a trip to france Fontainebleau, my first ever outdoor climbing explierience and this video really pushed my excitement even more.
Btw i noticed dave only using 3 fingers a lot even if the holds look big enough for 4 fingers he bend his pinkie on most holds, is there any special reason for that or were the holds just smaller than they looked?
Dave climbs open-handed to avoid finger injuries. He explained it all in Andrew's previous video.
Ya, as Natalie mentioned Dave prefers the '3-finger drag' because there is less strain on the tendons when compared to using a full crimp. He has had many finger injuries so this reduces his chances of getting hurt. Being able to use just 3 fingers will take time to build up the strength (I feel super weak using it), but keeping an open hand grip is ideal (though of course a full crimp will inevitably be needed in certain situations).
Dave MacLeod's pinkies: the most under-utilised digits in climbing. Imagine how hard he'd climb if he used them? Beast.
You've done a great job here mate. A great mix in the audio of commentary and non intrusive music. I think a gimbal on the climbing sections would make it cinema quality, still amazing as is though. Keep it up!
8b free solo? alrighty
@Andrew Macfarlane - Find Conor Looney in Limerick, Ireland.
I so love when MacLeod sends and we don't have to hear those 'I'm stoked dude' that we so often hear elsewhere. They're fine, but I'd rather hear 'I'm pleased' like he goes. A breath of fresh air.
He's incredible. Stronger than ever. His training is impeccable.
aalso known as MacLeo D. Dave
Love how all of these are big Lebowski reverences
okay this channel just went from good to great
Dave MacLeod is my secret crag bf (shhhhhhh)
What an amazing climbs you did.
Dude you rock! Subscribed!
Dave looks like Stannis the Mannis
Love the beautiful yet no frills style of your videos.
impressive work Andrew!
Another great video.
I was there like a week ago lmao
How do the named routes work? Do you have to use the exact save holds?
Routes are established then named and usually graded by the person who climbs the first ascent of the route. You don't need to use the exact same holds, but when some climbers want to make a climb harder or create more lines on a boulder then they will 'eliminate' holds to make a climb harder and/or send the route in a different direction. Guide books will usually tell you where to start and which line to use with the associated name and grade.
Love this style of vid, interviews are really insightful, and the photography is absolutely lush. Keep it up!

interesting to see that Dave prefers using only three fingers most of the time, what's the theory behind that?

Being able to use just 3 fingers will take time to build up the strength (I feel super weak using it), but keeping an open hand grip is ideal (though of course a full crimp will inevitably be needed in certain situations).
@@AndrewMacFarlane thanks for your answer. So would you recommend training and using this grip more often or stick with the more usual grip types like half crimp etc.?
Lovely little film.
Earned a sub mate.
Great video dude, i really enjoy watching your videos!
