Kendal Mountain Film Festival winner

by Nick Smith 20th November 2006

Kendal Mountain Film Festival This was the first photography competition that I ever entered, and was delighted to come away with both the judges and the "people's choice" awards for Best Action Photo with this evocative black and white shot of Ruby climbing Gargoyle Flake at Bamford Edge. It's a wonderful climb that covers some impressive territory for a route that is graded VS!

Best Action Photo, Kendal Mountain Film Festival 2006

I was on a climbing trip in Spain when I got the email about winning the competition. I would have loved to have collected the prize in person at the Kendal Film Festival, but the lure of the sun-drenched limestone crags in the Costa Blanca was too much! ;) Mick Ryan, news editor at UKClimbing.com collected the prize on my behalf.

Many thanks for all the congratulations emails that came in after my win was announced on UKC.
