This is the most British climbing route I've ever seen! 1. Wet? Check! 2. Solo most of the climb including the crux? Check! 3. Place a nest of sketchy gear? Check! 4. Clip a random peg/bolt/piton? Check! 5. Grab some foliage? Check! 6. Sheep on the top? Come on too much man!
Being perhaps one of the last plum ( and yes, oft wet) lines left in the Burbage valley.. and knowing of the large numbers of suitors wanting this line over time - me included 30 years ago - I would like to say Damn Fine Effort!! and there is little chance it's only E7... it's darn hard.. respect for the wet 1st ascent!! Great film, thank you!
Was excited for a mantel at the top on those bad slopers... but he traversed into the bushes... 🤦♂️ Still a nice climb in difficult conditions and very run out. Nice work Pete!
Wow, I'm so glad you censored the word fuck. I don't know if I could have handled reading the actual word fuck, as opposed to seeing "f&$$" and interpreting it as "fuck" anyway. Thank you. Really making a difference over here.
I have never seen such lack trad ethics as in the UK. Clipping bolts, TRing the line beforehand, using bizarre bits of gear to clip.... Decent little boulder problem with bolts.

"Gonna climb in England next week. How many cams should I take with me?
- A lot, man! Like, maybe even three or four!"
"damn bro, looks pretty wet"
"It'll go. I'll just tape some towels to the wet spots and run it out."
Was half expecting the sheep to try bonk him off lol

LOVE the towels for seepage, Solid!
beautiful and scary! I'll probably never understand brit's climbing ethics but I definitely find it entertaining to watch :)
Great production! And impressive climbing of course, love the levitation to a small crimp at 2:52

Nice proper thrutching for the Juniper at the top.Great send !
Looks amazing Pete looking forward to hearing and meeting you on Friday at the tolbooth
One startled sheep at the top there
glad it didnt headbutt him
bro doesn't Pete know that using heather is aid
The crux has to be the epic bush-grab at the end.
UK climbs always look sketchy as f&$$

@@nerfzinet your sarcasm is too subtle…or maybe it’s just because your a d!#£.
With a decent clipstick, that's a sweet sports route right?
Yeah wouldn't exactly be our definition of a sport route ..... 😂
reminds me of the old adage: 'with enough courage, anything can be a dildo'
@@balke7935 Just realised: is that why 'hot aches'? :)
Lovely work Pete!! If you’re into trimming the shrubs at the top come out to the Tetons!!🤘👍
A little bit of everything in this one 👍🏼
The sheep at the end tho. :D
was that hazel findlay?
Yes
@@elfriederich love that girl. and pete. keep being awesome,both. and the videographer!
Hi hotaches, when was this filmed? Love it!
back in 2012!
Thought the sheep might knock him off!
A rought route !
What's the green thing strapped to the cliff side?
a towel to soak up water seeping out the rock.
You have balls
Beautiful! But having to faff around with moss at the top.. creepy..
Whats the song
What's up with the bolt?
its a sports route, artificial pre-placed aids are allowed
its grit we dont bolt grit
Looks to be a manky old aid bolt from way back when.
im so glad the sheep wasnt agro
Burbage South Yorkshire??????? What the fuurrrrk
How is that E7, I don’t see it as E7, E6
Do it then you can have a legitimate say on its grading
Whats with the bit of plastic thats attached to the rock with duct tape?
It is in the description: "Conditions weren't great, tea towels had to be taped to the wall to stop the holds getting wet. "
Great idea by the way
Fortunately,the 6c bit is low down.
but why not solo it till the end?
the music is way too loud and pretty annoying...
remove the music. no music is needed. did i mention no music is needed? good, because no music is needed, too.
Much better without music ......
第一个保护放那么高，打个挂片要死吗，如果完全要trad就不要打最后一个bolt,欧洲人真是矫情。
no music is better than awful music.

@Pete is never wrong It climbs like a boulder problem.
@Pete is never wrong You're welcome.
