Great to see this classic climb! I think my first lead climb was Sunset Crack to the right, followed by seconding on Sunset Slab - nostalgic trip back to 1990 or so!
Excellent, memorable routes for sure. My first lead was a completely forgettable zero star Vdiff at Stanage, but my second was Manchester Buttress which made up for it!
A valid point! In this instance I'd be in a crumpled heap on the ground before the rope went tight if I came off, so I was more concerned about making sure the rope wasn't going to get in the way of my feet while making the unprotected crux moves.
Hi, i really like your video, this mix of POV and gritstone is brilliant. Keep going!
Thanks, appreciate it 😊 Just packing my gear for a day out on the grit tomorrow!

Get your leg around the rope!

Gosh, doesn’t the guy in orange sew it up 😅 Another great video man. I really liked the move from the pockets, great positions!
You learn to place gear by placing gear..
@@largeformatlandscape 100% agree, as the dude in orange is also me 👍
@@edanjones Ha!! I'm on your page :-)
@@edanjones between your safety first gear placements, and my penchant for runout slabs, we've got the bases covered 😅
@@PulpFrictionClimbing You’re damn right 👊
What nuts are you using?
They're @WildCountryClimbing Superlight Offset Rocks. I tend to only use offsets these days, these and a set of the DMM alloys.
Thanks :) @
More like VS 4b and your first gear was pointless. Nice vid though
Pointless indeed, that's why I didn't bother with a rope for Sundowner next to it!
