Did anyone watch this BBC documentary.Jessie Dutton a blind climber lead the ascent with his then partner now his wife.He became the first blind climber to reach the top of this 449 foot sea stack off the north coast of Scotland
It was first climbed by Chris Bonnington Rusty Balllie and Tom Pateyi in July 1967and filmed live by the BBC.
He relied on his second to advise him the sequence of holds and his own ability to feel the rock face to find secure holds and place protection.Contact between the two was by radio
Well worth a watch A remarkable climb
