From the moment he watched the televised ascent of the Old Man of Hoy, Red Széll vowed that he too would stand atop Europe’s tallest sea stack.
Those dreams went dark at 19 when he learned he was going blind, but 20 years later in 2013, with an ever growing following looking on, inspirational Széll finally took on the Orcadian giant.

The Blind Man of Hoy, by Red Széll, published by Sandstone Press, £8.99.
