Anna Hazelnutt climbs the Walk of Life

An excerpt from Queen Lines, Alastair Lee's contribution to Brit Rock's 2022 collection, following Anna Hazlett on the first female ascent of James Pearson's the Walk of Life in Devon. Tom Randall co-stars. The full film also covers their day on Jonny Dawes's the Quarryman.

Lee is one of the best in British climbing film and it shows: the sea cliff, the light, and the sheer blankness of the slab are all shot properly rather than grabbed. Eight minutes is short, but it captures a genuine landmark ascent at the moment Hazlett's professional career was taking off. Hazlett posts it on her own channel with Lee's blessing.
