Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner climb Minus Three Gully (IV,5)

Step onto the frozen flanks of Ben Nevis with Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner as they climb Minus Three Gully (IV,5) in a sharp, high-energy winter edit from Hot Aches Productions. Filmed in the heart of Scottish winter climbing, this ascent doubles as a tribute—celebrating the legacy and bold achievements of Robin Smith and Jimmy Marshall on the mountain that helped define them. What makes this one worth your three minutes is its immediacy: the edit was completed in the CIC Hut the very same day the route was climbed, capturing the raw, post-climb buzz while the details are still ice-cold and vivid. Expect crisp movement on steep snow and ice, the focused pace of a committed winter line, and that unmistakable Ben Nevis atmosphere—where every tool placement counts and the simplest gully can feel like a full-on adventure.
