100 Stars at Stanage: a quality gritstone challenge for Climbers Against Cancer
100 Stars at Stanage is an inspiring documentary that follows two climbers, Harry Martin and Richard Holdsworth, as they take on a unique challenge at the gritstone outcrop Stanage Edge in England's Peak District: climbing 100 stars in a single day.
Unlike many other undertakings, here it's not the grades that count, but the quality of the routes. With the best climbs awarded a maximum of three stars, the pair knew it was going to be a long day out. I just under 10 hours they climbed 41 routes and amassed 101 stars, all in in support of the charity Climbers Against Cancer (CAC).
