Hold Fast , Hold True E10 7a - Dave Macleod ground fall

Hold Fast, Hold True captures a heart-in-mouth moment from Hot Aches Productions’ film Transition, as Dave MacLeod attempts the bold British trad testpiece “Hold Fast, Hold True” at E10. Shot in the context of showing Natalie Berry what the sharp end of cutting-edge trad can look like, the clip follows Dave pushing into the upper limits of control where commitment, precision, and consequence are inseparable. What makes this worth watching is its raw honesty: no hype, just the reality of trying hard on dangerous terrain and what can happen when things don’t go to plan. In just a few minutes you get a concentrated hit of elite movement, high-stakes decision-making, and the sobering physics of a ground fall—an unforgettable reminder of why E-grades carry a different kind of weight.
