For over a century, Scotland’s peaks have attracted climbers and walkers from all over the world. Every year, athletes come to test themselves against some of the most uniquely challenging climbs in Europe, in the face of miserable weather and gruelling isolation.

Born in the rugged Lochalsh region of the West Highlands, Kenny Rankin is no stranger to these grounds. Having spent his early years navigating the Cullin ridge under his father’s guidance, he is now a seasoned climber and mountaineer in his own right. This film follows his attempt to climb a classic Ayrshire trad route.
