THE ARCHITECT is a tribute to Robin Smith and Jimmy Marshall's legendary week on Ben Nevis in 1960 when they climbed six first winter ascents on consecutive days. They also made the first one-day winter ascent of Point Five Gully, went for a long walk and got arrested over an incident with some dominoes! One of the great pioneers of Scottish mountaineering, Jimmy Marshall, reflects on a lifetime of climbing in Scotland. His soulful words accompany stunning footage those routes which he first climbed 50 years ago.
