The third in a six-part series.
Edinburgh architect Jimmy Marshall is called The Maister by his contemporaries - an acknowledgement that he's one of the finest all-round climbers in Scottish history. His most daring climbs were Glencoe and on Ben Nevis, where he was responsible for a series of bold new routes. Now in his 60s, Marshall faces the camera for the first time to re-create his classic ascent of Bludger's Revelation on Buachaille Etive Morand to prove that he is as stylish a climber as ever. Presented by Cameron McNeish.
