Mark Edwards climbing at Carn Vellan. Cornwall

Lasers, Lycra and feet-off chalk blowing. Things that are sadly missing from modern climbing.

Is there film of Mark climbing the route from the bottom to the top?

@sefton326 Yes there is a video taken by Penzance based film company Three S films (John & Robin) on the day of the first ascent. The shot is wide angle of the whole cliff so you see the climb from bottom to top in one take. Their camera was set up on a tripod at the base of the route, as they were non-climbers. We did not expect to get the first ascent that day, it just happened and I was chuffed it did, so it was a bonus to get it recorded too.
