This 1976 video produced by Yvon Chouinard, follows a day of soloing on Ben Nevis by John Cunningham. The gear is vintage fossil-ware ... ice hammer, bamboo 70cm piolet,and first generation chouinard rigid crampons (the ones that broke all the time). This is a long forgotten, rarely seen video, however those that own a well-thumbed copy of Chouinard's "Climbing Ice" will recognize some stills taken from the video.
