Are you ready to get sandbagged on Great British rock?! — Portland Climbing #climbing
In this video, I take Luken, my ultimate climbing partner, to the place where it all began for me. The Isle of Portland. This is the place where I did my first outdoor climbing. It's beautiful scenery is breath-taking. And we would have loved to stay longer and enjoyed it more. This video is evidence that there is sport climbing in the south of England 😄
📖 Chapter list 📖
00:00 Welcome to the island
00:43 Sector: The Cuttings
03:45 Sector: Battleship
06:47 Luken's honest opinion 😜
Thanks for our friends who tour guided us around that weekend!:

Переглядів 1,5 тис.4 місяці тому
Who do you think will win, wizz kid, youth climber Ainhoa or me, your normal climber? We made a small climbing competition between us, there was tears and smears and you'll witness me climbing my very hardest to desperately try to keep up with Ainhoa. And to spice it up 🌶️ , we added forfeits... Can I learn a thing or two? Or will I end up getting dunked? DUN DUN DUN. And of course, I have a sp...

Am I strong enough? In this video, I test myself against the Lattice Training test, a full 3 days worth of testing - not for the light-hearted... I contacted Tom Randall a few months ago because Lattice Training is known as the mecca for climbing training data, and I wanted to see how my scores would match up with their database. It was a truly exhausting and incredible experience. And, Tom sha...

    Aw this brings back pre kid climbing memories 😍 Portland (the cuttings) is where I did my first 7a too!!! When we were studying in London many many moons ago, we used to run down to Portland for the occasional long weekend! That or sometimes Brean Down ☺️ the south east is fab!

  • @RoadtoV11

    Portland is so good!! I’ve spent so much time in there, to me is as good as it gets in the UK, would 100% recommend (it must mean something being from Spain 😉)

    Niceeee!! Really happy for you!! Cliping the chains of a 7c it would be a dream for me!! Looks really nice what’s the name? Looks like is in Culample4 or Ca La Marta? Also one personal question, how long it takes to get those fat fingers? Hahah I’ve been climbing for 3 years nonstop and my fingers still look the same :(

    • @NormalClimbers
      @NormalClimbers 2 місяці тому

      Hi Will, Thanks. Yes it was a happy send! The name of the route is Heimdall, 7c, in a sector called MQZ. Has some great short and powerful routes there! As for fat fingers... Enjoy having thin fingers, chubby fingers turns 2-finger pockets into monos!

    Great video Pen! Being a fellow shortie (short ass) I can relate so much to this ! It’s so difficult finding the right balance between stubborness and oh wait I can actually reach that hold 😅😅😂😂 that being said you still did the route really quickly! 6/7 goes is pretty good 😘😘
