Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker are no stranger to hard crack climbs...but this one is proving to be their nemesis. Savagely overhanging with precarious jams throughout, the conditions need to be perfect for to climb the route. We go on a journey with them to find out the dedication needed to succeed. When the margins are this small luck needs to be on your side...
Wide Boyz' Crack Climbing Nemesis: Recovery Drink | Climbing Daily Ep.1297
“It’s only suboptimal because we’re not strong enough” .... gotta love the ginger genius of Pete Whittaker
It doesn't matter how bad my day was, Pete's laughing makes me just happy. Such a cool, chilled and happy guy. Truely inspiring!
I'm glad Pete said the thing about only sub optimal because not stronger.
Checked out this video after watching Midbøs video with Wide Boyz. Was so suprised when i saw this is in flekkefjord right next to my cabin!
Not your average climbing daily, could've been a short film tbh bravo EPIC
"You can't get lucky when it's hard"
wise words!
Lovely production guys, especially liked the audio quality in the opening sequence, nice work!
Pete's outfit is outstanding
James Harrison those gloves!
A very different Epic TV. Be nice for them to put 30minute documovies together once a month or so, they are very good at it.
Awesome. So happy to see the wide boyz working on this cool project.
Can't wait to see them send this project!
Beautiful camera work Matt, and whoever else you've got behind a lense!
7:22 pete releases inner goblin.
So glad to see them together again!
Wow... beautifully shot and edited. Amazing work, guys!
Great episode. Really well shot
those guys are not two individuals, but rather twin sons of different mothers
You're telling me after about THIRTY years of 9a climbing, there's no 9a trad crack yet?
When tom says its a hard finger jam(....) must be hard
"Suboptimal commissions"
12:17
Tom sneaking in that he isnt getting paid enough
Wow the content is amazing. The video quality is as good as it gets. well done.
Can’t wait for the next instalment, hoping for “optimal” not “suboptimal” and love the wellies
6:55 that gloves
Superb video, thanks a lot.
It's cool to see that these guys copy Daniels beta at the crux (the drop knee). Have good luck next time and enjoy Jossingfjord and Profilveggan
i never understood, how does wind help you climb?
Better for breathing and dries the rock
Dryness for friction
10:15 well i guess you gotta get a rest somewhere! Way off the route!
Louis Thériault I think it was to make an easier move upwards but since it cuts idk
Why were they sleeping behind a house in sleeping bags, and not inside the house? Is it a joke I’m missing?
Very good, keep em coming!
Noob here, what happens if they fall when they have a hand/finger stuck in the crack ?
Worst case, degloving or lost finger.
Finger in the crack. What else?
Hyper extension is likely they are professionals and know to let go if theyre jamming, otherwise they lose a finger
Can someone explain what "getting on redpoint" means?
Finishing the climb from top to bottom without falling. On trad routes, it also means placing all your own gear as you climb.
Is it just I haven't seen any recent footage of Tom or is he horrifically sunburnt?
The most British thing about this video, is them ascending the rope in wellies.
Is there a track list for this anywhere?
Can anyone explain why they're hoping for wind? What about a faster wind makes the send easier?
I assume it avoids the buildup of moisture on the rock, making it more grippy.
Super Leistung ......✌✌✌✌🗻🗻🗻
Why would more wind help?
10:45 he is holding carbine? I am little bit disappointed that he didn't free climb it.
Naw, he's got his hand in the crack below it.
Hard core nice 👍
Pete is such a beautiful man. 5/5 would suck.
Well that’s just creepy
Very nice video, too bad it is locked for download :(
That dog was awesome! Anyone know the name of that breed?
Samoyed! I believe they're native to the Alps, but I'm not sure. They sure are popular in French mountain towns like Chamonix
@12:17 "Sub-optimal commissions" -Tom Randall
I have a project for which the final comments are right on the money. Patience.
Wait, why would you WANT wind while climbing??
TheRandomSpectator To get some airflow. Wind dries the skin
And dries the crack.
@@samlauer1 that makes sense. I've only done a little bit of trad/outdoor sport climbing, so wind terrifies me. I feel like I'm gonna get blown off.
There is one study that has proven that with a slight breeze power output goes up as well. Probably a mental thing your hands feel drier so your brain let's you pull harder
friction
Whats with the different shoes at 4:40?
Could be that he has one foot bigger than the other so one shoe fits better
Sometimes the majority of foot jams may be on one foot so they can choose a shoe that is good for jamming and maybe on the other foot they want a softer shoe for smearing etc
it's too difficult for them.
Why do they want it to be windy?
New jacket time?
Why ?
So, you left a piece of gear up there to get down, didn't you? That is why I don't try hard routes hehe
You could also aid climb till the top and the rap/clean the route
Looks amazing! Anyone knows where this exact location is? 😅
Martin Koch Profilveggen (profile wall) in Jøssingfjord in Sokndal kommune, Rogaland in South western Norway
Thanks @@IMHanson-video 😊
Why would you want it to be windy?
Wind helps lower body temperatures when doing hard moves and prevents sweating, dries the skin and helps to dry the wall as well.
pre-placed gear at 10:30?! might as well bolt the whole crack and aid up at that point. I'm talking trash because I can't climb crack :)
He doesn't use it though
At 10:10 he climbs off route for a shake too. Bad style
@@waltmac6803 4 feet to the left ain't off route you wanker.
Yeah, respect to film and climbers to be so honest they dont cut this out!
Crack is whack yo. =P
Trad is rad yo!!!
All due respect, but At 10:10 he climbs off route for a rest. If he does that on the red point burn, id have to call bullshit. And yes, i know i dont climb as hard, dont do as much for the community, blah blah blah. But bad style is bad style, regardless of the grade
Good job it isn't a sport climb then
Saying this is a trad climb is hilarious. I respect their style of the gear already being placed. I just feel sad that they don’t place it on lead. Can’t be a trad climb in my book if they don’t.
They're practicing with the gear set. The redpoint attempts they're setting as they go.
Pffft,,,, Alex Honnold would climb that without a rope,,,lol get off that ....lol
