BBC 2 - 5 Climbs, 5 Islands

The 5 climbs, 5 islands film that was originally filmed as a back up for the BBC Great Climb programme in case of atrocious weather, injuries etc will air on BBC 2 Scotland on the 19th and 26th Oct'10.

The 2 part film features ME Pro partner Dave MacLeod and fellow climber Tim Emmett

Dave gives us some detail -

"We travelled about the Hebrides on a big boat, attempting some really hard new routes back to back over 5 days. You’ll have to watch the programmes to see the outcome but I can tell you it was the best trip I’ve had new routing in the Hebrides, certainly one of the hardest and definitely with the most falls!

The culmination of the trip trying a brilliant 2 pitch line of perfect black Gabbro on St Kilda was unbelievable."

For those outside Scotland - BBC2 Scotland is also available on Sky channel 990 and it will also be available to view on BBC i player - more info available at
