BIDEAN NAM BIAN,<br />
SCOTLAND<br />
Saving<br />
face<br />
When climbers Guy Robertson<br />
and Greg Boswell attempted the<br />
summer route at Bidean nam Bian,<br />
near Glen Coe in Scotland, in 2017,<br />
they hadn’t anticipated failure, but<br />
that’s how the day ended. Returning<br />
to the location later that year to<br />
complete the climb, they took along<br />
photographer Hamish Frost to<br />
record their triumph. This shot went<br />
on to win <strong>Red</strong> Bull Illume’s Best of<br />
Instagram category this June.<br />
“It’s awesome for Scottish winter<br />
climbing to get more exposure on<br />
a worldwide stage,” says Frost.<br />
“It’s bold, hard, technical climbing<br />
in unforgiving conditions, and often<br />
it goes without much fanfare.”<br />
