If possible. If there is only a directional nut placement I’d certainly take that until I can place something multi directional. Or would you advocate soloing if there are no multi directional placements?
You need to get to get better with your feet. You're constantly scrabbling around missing the optimum footholds. Climbing is 80% feet - you're relying on arm and finger strength too much
Nice move reattaching the Velcro on your shoe after putting in the third piece!
Adds a grade if the shoe comes undone!
This might be the perfect trad send! Big, ballsy, great gear and a cool head! LOVED IT!
millstone is the place to be for trad in the peak!
A very enjoyable video. Sounded like you worked hard and was rewarded for your effort. Well done
This is what I call great climbing. All trad, similar to climbing in the 70ies and 80ies in Western Canada.
Nicely done!
Jolly good chaps,well done.
Not sure why I got this recommended, but awesome sends! So interesting to see the different feel of a ground up vs a headpoint climb.
Thanks, was pretty proud of this one, heqdpointimg is for sure a different game entirely
Nice one - such a battle getting the gear in those horrid cracks under the overlap.
Yeah the gear there is actually quite bad too, feels kinda scary untill the piton after the overlap
Sweaty hands watching this one. Well done!
Thanks, it's a cracking route!
wet knob too
Nicely climbed! And great video 👍
Awesome footage! Thanks, great to watch :)
Cheers🤙, new banger of a vid out soon😳

Great route. Did it way back in the 1980s.
Well done ! Glad I asked!!
Good effort and nice camera work.
Just one angle and lots of editing👀
I’m sure it was E4 6b in the guide that I had!
To be fair it is a very safe route!
Shut up
Tony Ryan soloed this . What is the music ?
Credited at the end mate
Just wondering, aren't those massive balls getting in the way or something?
We learn to live with it, it's a hard life🤣🤣
I have been climbing for 10 years and I still cannot understand trad climbing :D but nice video!
It's got a much more serious feel so the feeling of sending is so much better!
@@rickyclimbs1552 Trad is the only real way everything else is just training
Mate i'ts not too complicated, i'd go for a brain scan if you still can't understand it after 10 years
@@josephmullett5427 I just find it foolishly dangerous :)
@@matteomusso9351 trad is an expression of self awareness.
Muzak.
First piece should be multidirectional to help avoid a zipper.

@@andrewhunter6536 Well played, good sir.
Looks a bit soft
Moves at 2:59 and 4:15 are hard but the rest is okay tbf

Sorry mate what's the hardest you've climbed? e3?

Post better beta video please
The feet on this climb are slippy and non existent
I think Steve Bancroft may have used a helmet on his 1st ascent in 1976, but then he had something worthwhile to protect!
