Can Angus send E9 (UK scary trad) first ascent before his baby is born? Patrescence – Hazel Findlay
Angus Kille tries to make an E9 first ascent in the last few days before his daughter is born. Bringing this route to life parallels his journey of becoming a father (patresence). Follow his journey with the route, how to train for bold climbs, his thoughts on being in the waiting room of fatherhood and how his wife, Hazel Findlay, feels about the ascent and the risks involved.

    • @burkeschuster4879
      @burkeschuster4879 7 днів тому

      For one thing, the camera is being held at an angle so that the wall appears vertical or even overhanging, when in fact it is less than vertical. Look at the background. On a lower angled slab, with good, tightly fitting climbing shoes and strong feet and good technique, you can stand on surprisingly tiny edges and bumps and stick your toes into small cracks. The shoes have a special rubber that has excellent friction. With your hands, you can also use a technique called "crimping" to hold onto small edges. Mainly what he is using here are a couple of small cracks. You can see them better from the more distant camera angle. He is probably sticking the toe edge of his shoe in there just a bit at an angle and twisting a bit to increase the forces holding it there. He is also using some finger jamming techniques in the cracks.
