Yuji Hirayama climbs E5s at Millstone Edge, Peak District

Yuji Hirayama climbs E5s at Millstone Edge, Peak District is a punchy BMC TV short that drops you onto the iconic gritstone of the UK’s Peak District as Hirayama takes on two Millstone classics: London Wall (E5 6a) and Edge Lane (E5 5c). In under six minutes, it captures the unmistakable character of Millstone—clean-cut lines, technical sequences, and the quiet intensity of trad climbing where every move is earned. What makes it worth watching is how much atmosphere and commitment it packs into a brief runtime: precise footwork on crystalline grit, confident gear placements, and the mental focus required when the climbing gets serious. Whether you know these routes by reputation or you’re simply here for elite movement on legendary stone, this film delivers a sharp hit of inspiration—and a reminder of why E5 on grit feels like a world of its own.
