Yea of course it's faked... the director felt that it was needed to finish the film off... the idea was that when folk see it for the first time they think "ah what just happened?" . Important to point out that Dave MacLeod did take that fall when he lead it 'For Real' but when we shot this reconstruction he wasn't up for another fall like that! Almost all the climbing in our films is for real and not reconstructions, this is an exception. Diff.
@HotAches Guess you've heard it, but I think it's great that you confess to faking it and go on to explain why. Thumbs up for honesty. Can't ever get enough of it.

Awesome climb. Such awful conditions too.

Being Dave's belayer has got to be the most stressful job in climbing.

The higher the number, the harder the climb.
