"English climbing community talk alot about ethics and how they climb" ... he says with bemusement/bewilderment as he ties off on one of the fence posts above millstone.
Beware of saying "safe" when you reach the top of a climb before you've made your anchor. I had to watch my friend fall like a sack of spuds from the top of a (luckily) low 8m gritstone crag and then get a helicopter to hospital. Please learn from this bad experience. Only tell your parter to take you off belay once you've made and tested your anchor. Only at this point are you genuinely safe. Be like Yuji in every way, except when he says "safe" before truly being safe...
Most fluid ascent I've seen of London wall
Lovely. Yuji is a special guy.
I love this line so much. Seeing Hirayama climb it was just that much sweeter.
Was there the other week, great place to climb :)
Cool Guy! Very nice climbing skills. Im also 45, but sooo far away from climbing like this! My respect!
Very smooth
Cool movie, cool climbing!
Legend. Impeccable tech-ers

Edge Lane, possibly the best route on Millstone. First ascent by Mc Hardy on sight, no beta. No gear.
No beta. No gear. Let that sink in a bit
What rope he used there?
THAT was sick/
