In one legendary week on Ben Nevis in 1960, Jimmy Marshall and Robin Smith climbed six winter first ascents on consecutive days, including Orion Face Direct and the first one-day winter ascent of Point Five Gully. Exactly 50 years later, Dave MacLeod and Andy Turner pay tribute by setting out to repeat every route from that famous week. The Pinnacle tells the original story and follows the modern pair as they discover just what Smith and Marshall achieved.

Why This Film Matters: Scottish winter climbing is a discipline built on history and hard conditions, and The Pinnacle bridges half a century of it. By measuring themselves against the pioneers, MacLeod and Turner reveal both how far the sport has come and how visionary the originals truly were.
