Lake District living legend David Birkett as seen through the highly innovative lenses of Al "Saving Private Land" Lee and Dave "I want to be Jean Done" Halstead. See the trailers on the Posing Productions Website - it's brilliant! David repeats (or in one case attempts to repeat) nearly all his famous hard climbs, many of which remain unrepeated by anyone else. Fantastic footage too of the Lakeland Fells, combined with the Posing team's usual quirky commedy touches
Scottish living legend Dave McLeod on the first ascent of the UK's first E11, Requiem at Dumbarton Rock.

Some of the final work on this film is being done by Posing Productions
