The Kid, The Rock & The Sea

Commissioned by Slaphappy climbing for a special event at Kendal Mountain Film Festival 2025, this film introduces us to the little known climber Solly Kemball Dorey as he recounts the story of his first ascent of “The Trident,” a new 8C+ on the Cornish coastline. Only one of four other lines of this difficulty on the UK, it is the first to be established in the South West.

Credits: Directed, shot & edited by myself, 2nd camera by Tom Wright.
