Nightmayer - Steve MC CLURE

Nightmayer follows British climbing legend Steve McClure back to the limestone of Malham, where home-rock pride meets world-class difficulty. After decades of traveling the globe and pushing his limits, McClure turns his focus to a long-standing personal challenge: an onsight attempt on Nightmayer, a route known for being hard, complex, and deeply committing. In just a few minutes, this film captures the essence of what makes elite sport climbing so gripping—the quiet calculation before leaving the ground, the fight to stay composed when the sequence unravels, and the razor-thin margin between control and failure. Whether you’re here for Malham’s iconic steep power climbing or for a masterclass in focus under pressure, Nightmayer delivers the kind of tension and inspiration that makes you want to chalk up and try again.

One of Great Britain’s most distinguished climbers, Steve McClure has spent the last few decades scaling cliffs and crags all over the world. In spite of his globetrotting status, he likes nothing more than to tackle challenges on the rock walls of his home country. This is how, after sending Rainman in Malham in 2017, he became one of only a handful of people to climb 9b. In 2019, he finally settled a long overdue score by onsighting Nightmayer, a hard, complex, and committing route! ••• Credits ••• Video Production: http://www.keithsharplesphotography.co.uk/ ••• Featuring ••• Steve Mc Clure: https://www.instagram.com/ste_mcclure/ ©Petzl Distribution 2020 - All rights reserved
