Entirely none judgementally, a helmet can be wise, one saved my brain from harm during a cycling crash, but good risk assesment is always inline with managing the hazards posed well, and Nick always looks calm and in control. Stay safe and climb well into old age folks. 🙂
@@timothydraper3687 Thanks for your measured response. Nick talks about why he isn’t wearing a helmet in a future episode. Incidentally, we’ve noticed he wears one ice and alpine climbing. The video simply documents an important repeat. We’d always advise wearing a helmet but as with cycling it’s a personal choice.
Been rock and ice climbing and mountaineering since 1989- I know you are both old school legends but I cannot fathom for the life of me why you are not wearing a helmet on this (chossy) route- they’re light, comfortable and not the heavy, uncomfortable, sweaty helmets of old. Shame on DMM for promoting irresponsible climbing-you should have had them wearing helmets with your DMM stickers all over them for effective (and responsible)marketing.
I suspect DMM is wanting to take a bit of a hands off approach here and allow the climbers to make decisions but I am just totally guessing. As long as equipment isn’t misused I guess gear sponsors will let the athletes determine acceptable risk, I think this is a good thing. All that said I would want to wear a helmet trying anything on that wall and unless there is some squeeze chimney or off width I think it’s silly not to use one
@@pauldiffley4115is he explaining it to Paul Pritchard? Experience and climbing skill doesn’t exempt you from rock falls. Joe brown always wore a helmet. These two could learn from him.
I think it is entirely irresponsible of you to show this without helmets. DMM has a duty of care to show responsible behaviour in the climbing world and this is a failure on your part I’m afraid. Whilst it is personal choice to wear one, you have a duty to do the right thing.

@@staplebugit’s not personal when other climbers and emergency workers have to risk their lives to assist others when their easily avoided stupidity goes wrong. If only it was personal.
@@wenlambotomy6231 I guess its written in your name, in your world their would be no risk, no adventure, no personal choice, just safety first and a totally boring existence eating WHO organisation sanctioned food.
I love this stuff so much. Raw. No frills. Gripped. 🤘🏻
Nutters. Looks epic, but utterly terrifying. More please!
Pitch 1 sets the tone for the epics to come, can't wait!
oh a other Masterpeace Adventure von Nick - what a pleasure to watch with his jokes - i love him
Looking forward to the rest!
Ref the helmet chat. If I was Nick's age and still had hair id be showing it off as much as I could.
Awesome so far 👍
Glad you enjoyed it. Episode 2 next week.
WARRING PEAS would be a good pod cast.
that looks awesome, i'd love to do somthin like this one day just slightly easyer though haha
Brilliant

@@andrewhunter6536Red Bull is an example of how to do effective marketing in risky sports where serious head injury is a risk.
Whilst I definitely don't always wear a helmet, that is pretty crazy not to wear one on this, especially in a branded video.
Nick's decision not to wear a helmet will be covered in EP4.

It’s a personal choice. Give it a rest already!

@@wenlambotomy6231nah by that logic you could argue they shouldn’t climb this at all. Easily avoidable risk and so forth.
