Murdoch and Nadir on Hadrians

Nadir and Murdoch

My start to the week has been pretty straight forward and I climbed only 4 pitches in two days and set up 3 abseils. Oh I also held a flash a couple of times. I was working with Nadir Khan who had been tasked with taking some shots of RAB athletes in their new range of clothing. The aim wasnt to climb anything super hard but to get a variety of shots with many different combinations of clothing. So some of the time was spent taking 'lifestyle' shots, such as sharpening axes, reading guidebooks and having a chat. It was great fun because I had to lead every pitch and then give Nadir a tight rope so he could shoot Murdoch Jamieson and James McHaffie as they did their thing. It was a great laugh as we all know each other very well and have all climbed together in the past. It's great when work feels like personal time. We climbed Hadrian's Direct and Boomers Requiem, giving some good opportunities for Nadir to get the shots he wanted. A night in the CIC hut meant we had rested legs and plenty of food. Thanks to RAB for the work.
