In It To Wing It : BMC

This film follows two climbers, Dipika Hopkins and Ruth Hardy as they take part in the 2023 British Bouldering Championships. Both amateurs, Ruth enters with the hopes of making semis, Dipi enters with the hopes of getting to the top of something. This story shows what it means to take part, and asks the question: if you don’t win, does that mean you lose?

Commissioned by the British Mountaineering Council to help encourage more women into climbing competitions, In It To Wing It was selected and shown at multiple film festivals, and can now be seen in full on YouTube.

Credits: Directed, shot & edited by myself. Produced by Niall Grimes
