Echoes launch night

Nick was on good form at the launch of his book 'Echoes' at the Outside Cafe in Hathersage. 

After negotiating the generous complimentary refreshments the audience steadied themselves for some up-close and personal time with the author. We kicked things off with the Premiere of our film 'Echoes - Outside is Hot and Sticky', introduced by film-maker Lukasz WarzechaWith the appetiser out of the way, Nick somehow managed to hold his tongue for two more minutes while Ed Douglas delivered a razor sharp introduction before unleashing him into the limelight. 



Launching straight into his characteristic energetic style, Nick entertained the full house with exotic tales of mountain adventures punctuated by poignant readings from his book until ultimately, quite frankly, it was time for a beer at the Little John...

We all had a great evening and a big thanks goes out to all the team at Outside Cafe, Vertebrate Publishing and Boreal for putting it all together and of course special thanks to Nick's entourage (The Hippy and Ray Wood) for delivering our protagonist in fine form.

Dave: The Trailer

We're all super psyched at Mountain Equipment to hook up with the guys from the Polished Project for their next film: Dave... due for release later this year, a taster of which you can watch below.






Dave... is a short film shot by the Polished Project aka friend of the brand and professional photographer Lukasz Warzecha and filmmaker Wojtek Kozakiewicz. 
The film centres around Dave's (MacLeod) exploits on his recent bouldering trip to Switzerland's  Magic Wood - climbing problems such as New Base Line, Mystic Stylez... set along side interviews about his career and life as a professional climber. 


The 12 minute film will be released at international mountain festivals later this Summer with an extended edit going on free web release early in 2013.
