Top Gear Mountaineer goes to the Movies

As I've mentioned previously, back in March I did some work for a brand on an advertising campaign. I couldn't say who, what or where or who with but I can now reveal all. What I was working on was the campaign for new releases in the Adidas Terrex footwear range: the Solo and the Scope.

We spent three days filming in the Snowdonia mountain range, and it was a really interesting experience to be in front of the camera. Watching the final piece was really interesting, especially being able to piece shots together and knowing what was filmed where and when and how.

I also had the very special experience of being able to work alongside some genuinely famous people: Al Humphreys, adventurer and adventure writer par excelence; Alex Messenger, climber, BMC officer and editor of the UK's official climbing magazine Summit and Shauna Coxsey, International Gold-Medal winning boulderer. I was brought along purely for technical knowledge and if I'm honest it was kind of intimidating working with such big names in the industry.

Anyway, less of me, more of the videos.


Oh, and there's this one. I get to talk in this!




So that's it. I'm now famous.

I'll have my people call your people.
