Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner climb Great Chimney on Ben Nevis

Join Hot Aches Productions for a crisp slice of Scottish winter climbing as Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner tackle the Great Chimney on Ben Nevis. Shot and cut with immediate, hut-that-night energy, the film follows their ascent as a tribute to the legacy of Robin Smith and Jimmy Marshall, whose bold achievements helped define what’s possible in the Ben. In just over five minutes, it delivers the essentials that make winter climbing so addictive: steep, shadowed walls, the claustrophobic drama of chimney movement, and the steady problem-solving required when everything is cold, hard, and consequential. If you want raw Nevis atmosphere, two masterful climbers moving with purpose, and a short hit of pure winter psych, this is an easy watch that sticks with you.
