Hot Aches Productions was founded in 2004 by adventure filmmaker, Paul Diffley. Our first major climbing DVD, ‘E11′, followed Dave MacLeod making the first ascent of Rhapsody (E11) in Scotland. ‘E11′ won thirteen international awards and is now widely regarded as one of the best climbing movies ever made. E11 is still one the best selling rock climbing films in the UK. Since then we have filmed Dave Macleod on many other hard climbs, as well as several of the world’s top rock climbers and mountaineers including James Pearson, Andy Turner, Sonnie Trotter, Steve McClure, Matt Segal, Johnny Dawes, John Dunne and many more.
On this youtube channel you'll find weekly videos of shorter content then our films to keep you psyched until our next big movie!

what is the first route called that Will fell off?
17yo Pete! What a madlad! 🤟
Proud
That dude is literally stuck in a rock and a hard place
Great video - what is the music playing please - it's really good but no mention of it
*E11 7a is a big time grade* Does anyone know if there’s been a repeat & has the grade stayed the test?
Long past time that Dave MacCleod arrives in The Valley (Yosemite) and tick off a few El Cap Big Wall’s. Something tells me he’d kick some ass
Saw jonny at stanage today teaching. What a legend, alas...I'll never be good enough to do one of his routes😅.
* ***ANYONE REMMEMBER DINO AKA SCOTT MARTIN 1969 TO 73...??
****VETERAN SCOTS GUARDS/ ROYAL SCOTS...! TRANSFERED TO MY BROTHERS, REGIMENY ROYAL SCOTS..THEY WERE LIKE THE BOY 👦 SCOUTS AFTER THE STRICT DISAPLINE IN THE GUARDS...BEEN AN JUNIOUR BEFORE I JOINED R.S. WAS PICKED ON BECAUSE OF THIS...*** ""
That looks like really miserable fun🤷🏽♂️
rad
Fabulous filmed climb. Made it look easy. But it’s not. 👍👍
what time is the fall at ?
Nice send! Much better belaying than Dave's first accent. The hard catch when he fell from the top hold was nasty. Hurt his ankle because the belayer was tied down. Bad plan. This soft catch with the belayer flying up was much nicer took loads of the swing out of it.
Oh no knee scum is my first choice normally. Only now am I finding out it’s a desperation last resort.
The belayer suffering as much as the climber…
where can i watch this movie?
Met some Royal Scots in Sennelager Germany about '86. Utter morons.
That's insane!
Best bit of climbing film ever. You really get a sense of what petes feeling.
Okay this is amazing, but I didn't understand why not place some gear in the cracks after the crux section? Seems like an enormous runout with terrible consequences...
A pleasure to watch such a talented climber 😀
Nice climb. Piss easy route though
This is the epitome of faffing and I'm here for it
11:52 that's one TINY protection....
'Tis poetry to my ears! 🤣
That scream at the end is absolutely elating. Always puts a smile on my face
I remember watching Eric Jones soloing it on BBC TV and I felt much more gripped than when actually climbing it. We did Cemetery Gates, Spectre and Diagonal in one day and I remember driving my motorbike back to South Wales - would've been better to wait a few hours to let the adrenalin subside. All last century, when 'the Gates' was graded HVS 5a.
Is that Hazel Findlay's voice in the background?
chills
I love this soooo much. incredible filming. love the sound choices as well. What a monster of self-assurance Dave is..
No mention of the HLI ?
Only one i respected in the royal family and still is ANNE.
Used, always.
Gin Palace by Craig Smith .
my favourite thing about this is when all the Americans said it didn’t count because they used pre placed protection they just went and re did it lol
Really, I hated it. Tom seemed so pissed off and really wasn't having a good time on the second climb. Also, the person who complained the most was Steve Bartlett, and he's British.
The half 5 morning start is terrifying enough
Who's the narrator?
Love how all of these start with "So you're inverted hanging off a crack.."
Love Hazel. She’s short, like me, and packs a punch!!
The Fall of Death*
That was epic! Rain, tide moving in, the lot!
The oldies regiment of Scotland was my little brother's regiment and he loved it so much one big family I still remember him on his passing out parade and the look on my mum and dad's face🏴🏴🏴🏴
My great uncle Lewis was as a Captain in the Royal Scots in WW1 , my dad was in the Royal Navy in WW2, i joined REME went to bosnia and Kosovo and my sonn was in the Queens Dragoon Guards.......
" Son "
Gripping gritstone, and a committed crux
pete chanting toprope at the end is amazing
Hazel is a beast! such a great climber
Dave is the man, one of the absolute best..
God bless all of them.
