Now That's What I Call a First Ascent - EP3 - The Long Hope - Dave MacLeod

Now That’s What I Call a First Ascent – EP3 – The Long Hope follows Scottish climber Dave MacLeod as he takes on one of the most intimidating lines in UK climbing: a huge, remote sea-cliff project where the name says it all. Shot by Hot Aches Productions, the episode drops you into the cold air, roaring surf, and high-stakes focus of a first ascent attempt where every move is earned and every decision matters. What makes this worth watching is the blend of raw commitment and clear-headed craft: you get the physical fight on steep rock, but also the quieter battle—doubt, preparation, and the mental discipline needed to keep moving when the consequence is real. In just over twelve minutes, it delivers big-wall atmosphere, sharp filmmaking, and the kind of climbing that leaves your palms sweating from the couch.
