Stevie Haston is considered to be the worldÌs best ice-climber. His way of climbing is full of personality. He is a man with no limits. He considers other British climbers not very well trained. ÏThey train in pubsÓ, says Stevie. This film shows Stevie with Laurence Goualt while climbing one of the most inaccessible rock faces in the world in Vail, Colorado. ÏWe all have a little screw loose, havenÌt we?Ó Stevie is an aggressive man but still shows a sense of humour.
