“MAKES RAY MEARS LOOK LIKE PARIS HILTON” -METRO

Andy Kirkpatrick is one of the mountain world’s big hitters: Winner of the Boardman-Tasker Award for his 2008 top selling book, Pyscho Vertical; prolific writer, gear guru, film maker and of course, a rather adventurous climber. But it is through his stand up shows that Andy is probably best known to the public.

Using video, music and a unique sense of humour, Andy details one of the most treacherous mountain ranges in the world, giving the audience a taste of what it is like on an expedition; being trapped on mile high summits in hurricane winds, buried by avalanche, or being pushed close to hypothermia whilst lashed to the side of a mountain.

Filmed live at Stornoway in December 2008, this DVD packs a full-on 100 minutes of the very best of Andy tale’s and humour. It is quite simply hilarious.

Six men set out on their quest to fly the length of Britain on paramotors. Like the earliest methods of aviation this is flying in it's most simple form. Suspended beneath a fabric wing and with a small propeller on their backs they set off on the journey of a lifetime.

The range of flying conditions that Britain throws at them takes a heavy toll and one by one the pilots encounter their own personal disasters. There are mid air wing collapses and free falling through the sky, crashes on take off, wings sucked into the engines and emergency landings abound. This is no easy ride.

The tension rises and when the team are forced out of the sky over the Scottish Highlands it looks like the expedition is doomed. But with true British determination they gradually they inch their way ever northwards into the eye of the storm.

The Tip to Tip expedition was created to raise funds for the Air Ambulances of England and The Forces Children's Trust. £5.00 from the sale of the DVDs go to these charities.

"One of the best climbing films ever made. heart-pounding reality"
Climbing Magazine (USA) - Full Review.

Synopsis
E11 tells the story behind the first ascent of Rhapsody, a route considered to be the hardest tradition rock climb in the world. Told in an offbeat dramadoc style the film attempts to understand what it takes to climb a route of this standard. E11 strives to get inside the head of its first ascentionist, the understated yet quite remarkable Dave MacLeod. Oh yeah, it's also packed full of ankle smashing, gear ripping, monster falls!

"E11 may be the best climbing film I've ever seen"
Rock and Ice (USA) - Full Review.

"This is, hands down, one of the very best climbing movies I've ever seen. It's up there with the best from the Lowell brothers... Watching 'E11' should be compulsary"
