Headline Acts
This latest dvd captures the action of one of the best season's on gritstone ever! Headlining with Jordan Buy's second ascent of the coveted Widdop Wall, also includes what has been touted by Gritstone guru John Dunne as 'the hardest route on grit' as Ryan Pascal makes the first ascent of the outrageously difficult 'Gerty Berwick' the blank wall to the left of the 'New Statesman' at Ilkley, Yorkshire. We also see the first ascent of 'French Duke' another last great problem at Earl's Crag as well as the hardest UK female ascents of a gritstone route as Lucy Creamer tries her luck on 'Slab and Crack' E8 at Cubar. Plus ground up action as Ben Bransby and James McHaffie tackle ‘one of the meanest sections of gritstone climbing to be found’ on National Acrobat at Ramshaw Rocks.

Rhylstone highball, plus the Adam and Jack show as grit-slab master Adam Long and Jack Geldard do some hard on sighting at the Roaches. We also get esoteric at Brimham rocks with a desperate E7 on sight by
