Malcolm Smith is without doubt one of the strongest climbers in the world. This 4 minute film is a magical slice of life in his old attic bedroom – home to the countries most infamous climbing board. It takes us back to Malcolm’s roots and the board where he trained incessantly during his teenage years. Fired up on tabs and coffee he attempts to repeat the problem he used as he trained for the second ascent of hubble. Filmed in atmospheric black and white with a jib arm and high contrast lighting, Splinter is a beautiful verite doc full of sweat and sinew.

Splinter comes as part of the Blood, Sweat and Bagels DVD.
