Don 'Villain' Whillans teams up with Chris Bonington to recreate Dovedale Groove, (E1,5b) a classic Lakeland rock climb pioneered by Don Whillans, Joe Brown with Don Cowan in May 1954.

Great stuff! I like the bit when Bonington is freaking out on pitch two. I guess I can relate to climbing videos much better when that sort of thing is going on.

As a (British expat) climber, with less-than-perfect knowledge of climbing history, I was wondering whether there was a local equivalent of Whillans. By which I mean that, when you set out on a Whillans route, it's pretty likely you're in for a experience very much on the thrutching and grunting side of things.

I really think the old(er?) fart would have been in a significant amount of pain had he fallen...then again, the slightly younger old fart looked sketchy as a bumbly on d-minor!

You will be after the Roland Pauligk and Henry Barber routes if you are after a little thrutch and grunt.

George Owens routes in the Blue Mts. Classics - every one of them. :-) Take gloves and pruning saw.

Don Whillans reminds me of the dancing miner in Avalanches "Since I Left You" video clip..

So cool that they were "reenacting" it.. and now you could go back and re-enact their re-enactment.. Much like Leo Houlding did with Sir Chris on the old man of hoy...

Excellent Work ! Love the stone and rope runner at the beginning, that's great. And I am going to climb more in my flat cap.

Cheers. And thanks in advance from my climbing partners too. They're going to have a whale of a time. Literally.
