Dave MacLeod - Indian Face E9
Dave MacLeod - Indian Face E9 follows one of Britain’s most formidable climbers as he takes on “Indian Face,” the infamous E9 on Clogwyn Du’r Arddu in North Wales. First climbed by Johnny Dawes in the 1980s, the line has become a benchmark of boldness and composure—less a route you “try” and more a commitment you earn, move by move, above serious consequences. In just 18 minutes, Hot Aches Productions distills the magnetism of hard trad into something you can feel: the history, the exposure, the razor-thin margin between flowing and freezing, and the quiet intensity it takes to keep climbing when the doubts get loud. Whether you know the grade or not, it’s a sharp hit of psych and perspective—an up-close reminder that the most legendary ascents aren’t only about strength, but about decisions made high above the last good gear.
