Hard Grit

Laying bare the realities of life at the sharp end

75%(17)IMDbDocumentary

Regarded as an important and iconic film in its genre, this award-wining landmark British climbing documentary showcases historic ascents on the dangerous gritstone edges of the Pennines. Exploding the myths that shroud extreme gritstone climbing, the film includes some of the most terrifying climbing scenes ever captured. The Peak District’s star names are climbing at the top of their powers – surely something has got to give.
