The film follows the trails of one of the greatest climbers worldwide, Dave Birkett. By emphazing Birkett’s passion for climbing, the two directors narrate the search for the magic lines, above all between the Lakeland rocks. The film includes many videos and images of many of Birkett’s most famous ascents, including The Return of the King and the East Buttress.
