A first video was published last week documenting James Pearson’s repeat of Harder, Faster, Charlie Woodburn’s gritstone extreme first ascended in 2000 at Black Rocks in England’s Peak District. Another documentary has now been released telling the story of Pearson's gripping ascent from another point of view. Palms-sweating stuff indeed.
