Filmmaker Dom Bush explores his personal relationship with risk and reward by telling the story of one of his climbing idols, Pete Whillance. An understated pioneer of hard, bold, face climbing, Pete established some of the hardest traditional routes in Britain through the late 70's and 80's. He is also one of the most prolific new routers in British history, with roughly 1400 new routes to his name. At 76, Pete continues to seek adventure and establish new rock climbs climb across the British Isles.
