Doc (Severine Gauci)

and BASE jump.
Set
in Stone (45) - Winner of the People's Choice &
Climbing Awards at the 2006 Kendal Mountain Film Festival
Directed and
Produced by Alastair Lee and David Halsted
Over the past
ten years Dave Birkett has created an unequalled list of top end
extremes - most un-repeated - on the high mountain crags of the
Lake District . He is the latest Birkett star in a tradition that
extends over 70 years. This in depth, humorous and at times gripping
profile of one of the greatest but modest rock climbers in the UK
is, for the production team, a stunning transformation from their
usual less serious approach, but despite the fact that it is primarily
a climbing film, humour and innovation abound.
