Gritstone. The rock to sate every boulderers friction addiction. Coming into condition in autumn and staying good until mid-late March, it is home to some of the most coveted climbs and problems in the UK.
With so many problems to climb, this film collects and showcases some of the many classics in the Yorkshire area, climbed by myself over the course of the last 3 months. It focuses on moorland crags in the area which are typically quieter and more secluded.
Problems:
Razor - 7C
Pixie Tits - 7B+
Beast of the Field - 7B+
Lay-by Arete - 7B+
Fight on the Black - 7B
Jerry's Arete - 7B+
Heaven in Your Hands - 7C+
Filmed and edited by Oliver Parkinson with music from Animals, Oddissee, Bonobo & Emancipator.
Nice little film, however... Chalking holds (with a brush) is one thing that's not great, but the donkey ticks were pretty awful. Is this is how people climb now, making the holds like an indoor wall? The Bridestones are a wonderful place, Jerry's Arete looked shocking.
