North Wales, UK (Team Geared Up) - “Ioan Doyle, 17 from Bethesda, Gwynedd, is considered a young climber of exceptional talent and promise. This film documentary follows him over the summer of 2007 as he attempts to conquer some of the world’s most difficult routes.”

Some of ye might remember this lad from trips over to North Wales - the caption pic looks like the photo shoot we seen while we were climbing in Rhoscolyn - On the E5 warpath which he described as climbing a kinda fine quality cheese to begin with :) (in fairness it did look quite loose for the first 30 ft or so till things steepened a bit)

The Lad’s got some great stories (like decking from an onsight attempt of an E6/7 and having to be carried back to the car by his mentor buddy!) and he’s always friendly and smiling so i’d say the programme will be worth a watch/download!
