The King of the Rest movie tells the story of Dave’s all-rounder challenge of 2026, climbing classic hard routes from all the rock disciplines in a single day around the Rest & Be Thankful Pass near Arrochar. Dave climbed Precious (7C boulder), Wild Country (E7 trad), made the first free-solo of Club Crack E2 on the Cobbler and finished the day with Messerschmitt 8a+ at The Bunker, walking between all the crags.
