The Dumby Project

Over the last few years, Dumbarton Rock has become a huge part of my life. It’s where I climb, where I photograph, and where I’ve met a lot of people who’ve shaped how I think about the outdoors, creativity, and community.

This project feels like a way of giving something back. The aim is to make a documentary that captures Dumby as it really is; the climbers who’ve been there for decades, the characters who give the place its personality, the history baked into the rock, and the newer generation finding their own relationship with it. It’s not a film about grades or ego. It’s about culture, memory, and how a scrappy lump of volcanic rock can mean so much to so many people.
