The story of Scottish mountaineer, Hamish MacInnes, is one that goes beyond his accomplishments as a climber.
In his career he led the first British ascent of the Bonatti Pillar of the Dru in the French Alps as well as took part in four expeditions to Mount Everest amongst other unbelievable feats.
He is an author, photographer as well as an expeditionary filmmaker and an iconic figure responsible for some of the greatest ingenuity that’s impact on mountain climbing today cannot be overstated.
Beyond this, though, is the story of his personal struggles with mental health. Director, Robbie Fraser, documents this and more in Final Ascent which is showing at a sold out screening this year’s Glasgow Film Festival.
We got the chance to sit down with Robbie and delve into how he became involved in the project, the lasting impression Hamish has had on him, and much more.
