[The Grit Approach]
A climbing film documenting a trip to The Peak District in the UK, 4 climbers from South Wales venture up to Stanage, Millstone and Froggatt.

They get lots of the classic peak climbs under their belts as well as having a lot of fun on the way!

Really enjoyed this and I don't usually get so interested when the grades are 'normal' so to speak. I did skip through some of the eating bits mind but overall great stuff, well done, and thanks!

In reply to UKC Videos: Don't remember polish on goliah's. I'd say technique is what's missing not friction.

Are Vena Cave and Vena Cave In different routes? If so is that where it goes?

It's totally battered. Would still be vile if it wasn't though, so who cares.

In reply to Jon Stewart:

Rubbish, its a fine route climbed very badly in that video. The friction is OK. Battered by polish grit does exist... try the start of Crack and Corner at the popular end which is still a good route despite this (one of my solos when I did my hundred in the summer).

what was the solo in the end credits? was it the moronic chippings?

In reply to UKC Videos: he does look to be close to the chips but if not it'll be Slideshow aka. Snivelling sh*ts, thin E5

In reply to GuyVG:

You can tell from the moves it's Moronic chippings.
