Steve McClure climbs Nightmayer (E8) climb

Steve McClure climbs Nightmayer follows one of Britain’s most respected climbers as he takes on Nightmayer (E8 6c) at Dinas Cromlech in Llanberis Pass, Snowdonia. Filmed by Keith Sharples for teamBMC, this short piece captures the atmosphere of a historic ascent: in 2019 McClure made the first-ever onsight of this hard, complex and committing trad line. It’s worth watching for the rare mix of calm precision and real consequence that high-end onsight climbing demands. You’ll get a close look at how a master reads gear, manages uncertainty, and keeps moving when every decision matters—set against the iconic, steep walls of the Cromlech. Supported by Petzl and BMC TV, it’s a tight, gripping reminder of why trad climbing at this level is as much about composure as it is about strength.
