I'm pretty sure the first half was pitch 1 of Aerobat which is meant to go at 5a....although I think the 5a move was the step up left from where I put the blue cam, but I was still looking for a 4b line so wandered off right to that hand crack. Was a bit exciting to start with, got stressed mainly because I was expecting a nice easy day out 🤣

Harness is just to attach the chalk bag to, and crack gloves are just habit on grit, obviously completely pointless on this route but I just wear em all day.

@@edanjones it would have been fine if I'd remembered to stop laybacking and use the footholds on the left face after it 🤦

Committing move to get established on the top slab definitely. Easy finish after, but you deifnitely do not want to come off!

Making mid-grade routes look hard is kinda my thing 😅

@PulpFrictionClimbing I was only pulling your leg BTW, please don't take it the wrong way. It was fantastic watching you climb that route, brought back so many happy memories for me; a time when I had nothing....yet was free as a bird. There's a few kids going up about the Peak and for you and colleagues (maybe) I can't thank you enough.

Pointless indeed, that's why I didn't bother with a rope for Sundowner next to it!

Absolutely correct! Definitely a comfort piece rather than any real use

Yep it's a nice VS, very obvious crux with some steadier climbing either side. I think I did the HVS line that finishes up the arete as well years ago, this felt familiar, but I've definitely not climbing this line before...

There is a perfect black totem placement in the big dish, which would hopefully stop you taking the big tumble, but you'd still have a pretty bad time, best to climb it like you're soloing even with a rope! It would be VS with gear for sure, not a particularly stiff one either, the moves are all straightforward (despite my up and downing!)

Massively so. The belayer was to far away and way to much slack. Couldn’t watch it

Came to find this comment, shocking amount of slack payed out numerous times, looks like he doesn't want to be there. Wouldn't be belaying me!

@@garysmith7550 Not the best belaying ever, but this is primarily on the climber for getting their leg the wrong side of the rope. Easy mistake to make though

@@diegomonaci5425 appreciate it, thanks! The grit is unique for sure. Not sure when I'll be able to share more as the autumn weather has been pretty bad the last few weeks.

Thanks, appreciate it 🙂

Thanks! It's pretty steady at VS yep, and has bomber gear. I should have extended the left-hand cam in the break really, I probably could have just leaned across and added a draw looking back at it. It's quite good being able to go back and look at climbs for my own benefit and see where I might have done things differently!

Youth? I'm mid-forties, but I'll take it! 😄

A valid point! In this instance I'd be in a crumpled heap on the ground before the rope went tight if I came off, so I was more concerned about making sure the rope wasn't going to get in the way of my feet while making the unprotected crux moves.

For sure, it's not quite as glassy as Crack and Corner, but not far off!

It's definitely a bit of a softie HVS, you even get to have a nice lie down part way 😄 The face is pretty straightforward, and gear for the topout is as you say a bit of luxury for the grit!

I wear mine all the time on the grit. Especially when I’m eating my lunch 👍

They're crack gloves. He uses them in the break around 50s in.

Team Crack Glove here I'm afraid. I also wear socks while bouldering so there's obviously something wrong with me 😄

Crack Gloves and Gritstone go hand in hand in my book. I also wear them to eat my lunch 😆

Thanks! Watch out for that first move, the foothold is like glass!

I am known to drag a rope up on occasion 😁

The gear is pretty useless, even with your belayer running you'd probably still hit the deck. Motorcade (the E1 on Tody's) has a decent small cam slot that would make it a painful tumble rather than a full splat ground fall like this one, so I think E2 is fair with that in mind.

This will be right up your street mate, campus moves and all the cracks you can stuff with gear 😅

They're @WildCountryClimbing Superlight Offset Rocks. I tend to only use offsets these days, these and a set of the DMM alloys.

Thanks :) @

I can't stop it, soon as I top out I just instinctively pull this Alan Partridge pose.....every time 😅

@@PulpFrictionClimbing if you can't beat them, join them! Make it your signature video ending pose! Own it like a boss, Alan Partridge boss 😎

Excellent, memorable routes for sure. My first lead was a completely forgettable zero star Vdiff at Stanage, but my second was Manchester Buttress which made up for it!

Thanks, appreciate it 😊 Just packing my gear for a day out on the grit tomorrow!

It's an Arcteryx AR395A, one of the older colourways called 'Serene'

You learn to place gear by placing gear..

@@largeformatlandscape 100% agree, as the dude in orange is also me 👍

@@edanjones Ha!! I'm on your page :-)

@@edanjones between your safety first gear placements, and my penchant for runout slabs, we've got the bases covered 😅

@@PulpFrictionClimbing You’re damn right 👊
