      Lmao, I just came from the new mellow video and saw someone's comment saying 'Mellow is without a doubt the best channel putting out climbing videos', I was thinking I probably prefer Wedge atm and then I come to this video and see this in the comments rofl, I also bet those people don't know Wedge or other UK based channels nearly so much if at all.

      @@biltongandboba you can enjoy Mellow, Wedge, Dan Turner, Elliot, etc.. I'm Spanish and I found uk bouldering as something special. Maybe different perspectives. It is so good when they upload some Woods bloc or when Wedge put one video like this.. Enjoy them all

    Awesome seeing those moves from LH Sitter to picnic into the traverse to Impropa. First did those way back in 98 but no stamina to continue into the rail!! Slightly different sequence to the razor hold as well, originally started at the bottom of the crack into the picnic sitter as well but no link, and a big foothold has fallen off since! You must be tempted by bowels to move man? You are the man for that beast. Good effort. Neil Thompson

    • @WEDGECLIMBING
      @WEDGECLIMBING  3 роки тому +1

      The difficulty of the climbing is actually maybe more like 7A+, just very commiting with a big walk in. I wouldn't have wanted it to be at my limit, I'm not sure how a fall would have been from the top
