They say opposites attract and that would appear to be the case with Nick and Mick's climbing partnership, as they admit their approach to life and racking their climbing gear, is as different as chalk and cheese. Episode 2 picks up from the end of pitch 1 on their attempt to make the first repeat of War & Peace in north Wales.

Originally graded E5, this epic 16-pitch traverse across Craig Dorys, on loose and friable rock, was first climbed by Pat Littlejohn and Steve Sustad in 1997 over two-and-a-half days, with 20 hours of climbing time.
The Llŷn Peninsula guidebook quotes Pat, saying: "It would go well in two days with a bivvy, a one-day ascent would be very impressive, as it's the sort of ground you can't rush."
Twenty-four years later in 2021, seasoned Dorys climbers, Nick Bullock and Mick Lovatt, took on the challenge of attempting to make the second ascent. Paul Diffley and Ray Wood followed their progress. This documentary is as much a character study, highlighting the depth of a strong climbing team, as a record of the climb.
