  • The Cleaver is a 5.13b offwidth climb in Day Canyon, which was equipped and first tried by Evan Wisheropp. Evan kindly told us about and let us try the project in November 2023. 4 ascents of the route were then made by Pete Whittaker, Tom Randall, Mari Salvesen and Mary Eden.
    A big thanks must go to Evan for sharing the information and having the vision for the climb.

      @PeterTeal77 3 місяці тому +9

      A flying pirate is like a half-whippled togglepull, but without the snare. An inverted torpedo is a regular torpedo but you grist your reflect inside the pyramid instead if outside.

    • @fredpilk7759
      @fredpilk7759 3 місяці тому

      My togglepulls are de-snared as a matter of principle but not whippling fully is going to take some practice. Need to work on my gristing. Thanks Peter for the clarifications.@@PeterTeal77

    I've never watched a Wide Boyz video I didn't love, but this is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed the split screen, which helped me see how Mary and Tom's techniques varied at crucial points. Tom's 'tache is better than Mary's, but Mary's core strength and absolute control is stunning. I'm convinced that she has 36 pack abs. And let's not even get into the fact that young Pete flashed this, and that Mari sent also. Four of the finest crack climbers of their generation doing what they do best. I love it!

    I like how you placed the gear lower but clipped it when it was at your waist; thus avoiding the rope getting in the wsy of the jams; and reducing the possible length of a fall.
