Friends Of The Grit | A Peak District Climbing Odyssey

Friends Of The Grit follows Belgian climber Siebe Vanhee as he heads to the Peak District, the heartland of British gritstone and its famously uncompromising trad ethic. Part travelogue, part climbing story, it’s a firsthand look at how local history and unwritten rules shape the way people climb. What makes this film so watchable is the clash and connection between styles: a visiting powerhouse stepping onto a very different playground where commitment, composure, and good judgement matter as much as strength. Expect sharp edges, bold leads, and plenty of personality as Siebe and his new crew chase the best grit the UK has to offer.

Mash that idea up with climbing, and you will see a hotbed of strangeness when it comes to cultural differences between its practice in different countries. But scratch below that surface and you will start to see traditions, ethics, and more importantly stories behind the reasons why climbing is practised in the many ways that it is around the world. It is (perhaps) with this in mind that Belgian climber, Siebe Vanhee made the pilgrimage to the epicentre of climbing ethics, the Peak District. Accompanied by a mixture of British Legends, firmly established or in the making, Siebe Vanhee seeks out the best of what UK Trad climbing has to offer, and manages to turn some heads whilst he is doing it.
