Dave MacLeod's turn as a baton bearer saw him freeclimb the 240ft (73m) high volcanic basalt known as Dumbarton Rock.
The fact that he managed to do this while holding the baton, which weighs 1.6kg (3.5lbs), makes his feat all the more impressive.

Although Dave was the first to climb the mound's Rhapsody route, one of the hardest graded traditional climbing routes in the world, he chose to revisit the first ever climb he made as teenager in sneakers - the considerably easier Plunge.
