Hot Aches Productions was founded in 2004 by adventure filmmaker, Paul Diffley. Our first major climbing DVD, ‘E11′, followed Dave MacLeod making the first ascent of Rhapsody (E11) in Scotland. ‘E11′ won thirteen international awards and is now widely regarded as one of the best climbing movies ever made. E11 is still one the best selling rock climbing films in the UK. Since then we have filmed Dave Macleod on many other hard climbs, as well as several of the world’s top rock climbers and mountaineers including James Pearson, Andy Turner, Sonnie Trotter, Steve McClure, Matt Segal, Johnny Dawes, John Dunne and many more.
On this youtube channel you'll find weekly videos of shorter content then our films to keep you psyched until our next big movie!
My older brother Bill was called up in 1939 to the 1st Battalion The Royal Scots B Company to Glencorse Barracks where they were given very basic training before being sent as part of the British Expeditionary Force to France and Belgium. To fight against more experienced Nazi forces. They fought in the retreat to the beeches of Dunkirk and were very lucky to be rescued by the Royal Navy and were landed in Hull. There their numbers were made up to those who were lost at Dunkirk.They received training in the Yorkshire Dales area and were shipped out to India and fought the Japanese in Burma jungles for four years. He had great respect for the Gurkhas that were also fighting alongside them.Eventually the were the last to be brought home and became known as the unforgotten army. Many years later I met a former officer of the Royals at a welcome home parade on the Royal Mile I took a photograph of him after I asked his permission and said that my brother had been a Royal Scot who was proud to have served his regiment. This Officer said that the 1st Battalion certainly had certainly had their share of WW2. I took the picture later up to Dreghorn Barracks and spoke to the Duty Officer and asked if he knew this Gentleman, he identified him gave me his title and home address in Haddington.I sent the photograph to him and he replied with a thank you for having sent his photograph. Attending a bar lunch with former R.A.F. Officers in the Royal Scots Hotel one of them was personal friends with him. David Nisbet former R.S. Officer interviewed earlier I know having worked with his Dad Bruce with Bruce Lindsay Oils at Granton Depot. Small world. 👍

In slow motion you can see there is something under the trouser...think it is a blue screen hidden toprope....fake like 99% of climbing they look so weak, not in shape, without colour in their face....
****VETERAN SCOTS GUARDS/ ROYAL SCOTS...! TRANSFERED TO MY BROTHERS, REGIMENY ROYAL SCOTS..THEY WERE LIKE THE BOY 👦 SCOUTS AFTER THE STRICT DISAPLINE IN THE GUARDS...BEEN AN JUNIOUR BEFORE I JOINED R.S. WAS PICKED ON BECAUSE OF THIS...*** ""
Nice send! Much better belaying than Dave's first accent. The hard catch when he fell from the top hold was nasty. Hurt his ankle because the belayer was tied down. Bad plan. This soft catch with the belayer flying up was much nicer took loads of the swing out of it.
Okay this is amazing, but I didn't understand why not place some gear in the cracks after the crux section? Seems like an enormous runout with terrible consequences...
I remember watching Eric Jones soloing it on BBC TV and I felt much more gripped than when actually climbing it. We did Cemetery Gates, Spectre and Diagonal in one day and I remember driving my motorbike back to South Wales - would've been better to wait a few hours to let the adrenalin subside. All last century, when 'the Gates' was graded HVS 5a.
I think you’re getting mixed up with the Royal Scots Fusiliers that amalgamated with the HLI to become Royal Highland Fusiliers. The Royal Scots were the Royal Regiment of foot b4 the became The Royal Scots .
Really, I hated it. Tom seemed so pissed off and really wasn't having a good time on the second climb. Also, the person who complained the most was Steve Bartlett, and he's British.
The oldies regiment of Scotland was my little brother's regiment and he loved it so much one big family I still remember him on his passing out parade and the look on my mum and dad's face🏴🏴🏴🏴
My great uncle Lewis was as a Captain in the Royal Scots in WW1 , my dad was in the Royal Navy in WW2, i joined REME went to bosnia and Kosovo and my sonn was in the Queens Dragoon Guards.......
