Regno Unito 1998 57 minuti col. video v.o. ingleseAlthough the British have practically no mountains in their own country, they have always distinguished themselves for their love of climbing. Hard Grit is almost an anthology on English mountaineering, with spectacular sequences of climbs in the Pennines. Humour and history, frightening routes and more or less experienced climbers. Some images from the film are memorable in documenting recent climbs on the sandstone rocks of Derbyshire.
Richard Heap, thirty years old, has cooperated on Best Forgotten Art, edited World Bouldering Competition photographs and produced several videos. This is his first major project. Mark Turnbull, twenty-seven years old, has worked as editor and camera-man. For several years he has been an independent producer and works on the TV series Pennine Rock.
