I think we should slowly exaggerate how much of Silence Pete has climbed with each retelling. Eventually the rumor will be Pete climbed the full climb with flat shoes and paddle flipperoo'd effortlessly through the crux. He only didn't tell Adam because he desperately wants him to come to the cellar.
When I think about it, Pete did climb the whole route, didn't he? And it took him only an hour. He didn't even bother grading the route because it was too easy.
Always fun to see Pete and Tom cackle away maniacally while planning to take over the climbing world with their crack-fuelled masterplan! Enjoy this content so much!
Let's not forget that it's only a part of the crux and (as mentioned with the shoes) it is far from the full route. As Adam stated, Stefano might struggle to do the full route with his beta. (or not, I hope!) And also that we only have roughtly 10min of Silence film to analyse the tremendous work Adam did to choose his own sequence. Which makes it hard to know why he chooses this one against an other.
Was watching Ste’s videos, and when I saw the call with Pete to get a lil crack school my eyes lit up. Super awesome to see the knowledge spread at the highest levels and seeing all this collaboration between the best (and funniest) climbers in the world. It is heartwarming and amazing for the sport. Thanks for being such legends!
Amazing video. So wonderful to see these two guys be so genuinely happy for Stefano and Ondra. They should feel so proud that crack climbing which they grew and spread more than anyone else is now necessary for the top echelon of climbing. All their hard work and passion has paid off.
Also, their objectives are not really the same. Pete wanted to see if there was a different beta for the crack where Stefano just wants to survive that bit with minimal effort.
Remember, Pete is a fucking super wad and an inspiration to sausage fingered crack fondellers. I believe he actually sent the full route in like 2 days and just didn't tell anyone because he understands preserving the status quo.
With the release of Stefano's detailed video of holds on the entire route, I'm curious how much of the route Pete is able to climb. Hope you go back someday with some more time!
Probably not much. These two are really excellent crack/offwidth climbers, but they're not world class at general sport climbing. You can see it in Pete's videos with Magnus, usually Pete can only beat Magnus if there's a crack or just some other weird beta he can come up with, but in terms of raw strength Magnus is well ahead even though he's retired and doesn't train as hard anymore. And from the video Magnus did with Ondra, Adam is at least as much stronger than Magnus as Magnus is over Pete.
All the section up to the first crux. It follows (most of) an 8b+ I've already done. Never tried the beginning of the first crux, and VERY sure I couldn't do it. Never tried after the crack, but I'd hope to be able to do most individual moves as apprently it ranges from 7B+ to 8B, which is in my range. Linking any of that together sounds utterly desperate to me though.
@@danieljensen2626 Actually, judging by the raw strength training Magnus did with Adam, I would say Magnus isn't that much weaker. He's closer to Ondra than to Pete eventhough all of them are really strong. Somehow Adam was just climbing harder stuff.
You guys need to come back to Squamish and try the Sky Cobra project!!! 5.15 crack climbing with all the view of the entire valley below you, truly the king of king lines!
@@WideBoyz It's the project up the wave feature on Slahanay. Single pitch, but since you start halfway up the mountain you are still in the clouds. According to Butters all the moves go, but linking them would be bonkers... and that guy just sent a new 14c trad line. Just saying, the bat signal is in the sky
I'm from Ipswich and often run under one end of that bridge. Always wondered if it was on your radar - would be pretty insane. How many days do you think it would take?
I wonder if Adam being tall makes his sequence preferable over Stefano's. Sometimes it comes down to body type and how you fit into certain positions. Rooting for Stefano. Can't wait to see him send this thing.
also stefano hasn't done the first crux yet btw...he has done all the moves but hasn't linked it yet (although i'm very sure he'll do it very quick when he returns to flatanger)
Watched all of Stephano's video of this crack crux, was a good video & the Ondra/Whittaker input was good to see. Yes the start was breaking bad stylee funny 😂 didn't read anyone saying Pete had done up to the crack crux and yes there's another crux higher up.
As Adam and Stefano are both La Sportiva athletes, in regards to the shoe topic, I wonder if trying the Kataki would be a better compromise compared to the Miura they use? It’s still pretty stiff, can be sized more loosely, but they still have a slight downturn on just the toe. Or if having more toe rubber could offset the stiffness, maybe a Skwama (fit a bit loose for jamming), at least in regards to a more crack-focused beta. Or hey, for all we know, they already took one of each LaSpo shoe up there and tried each model
What about Empath as an entry level trad stroll for A and S? Did you guys ever buy into the question of whether the bolts should be removed from that route?
every time how important shoes are for specific terrains comes up i remember how crazy it is that sharma climbed dream catcher in moccasyms and witness the fitness in anasazi's
seriously. Even after some help and explanations, I could still not figure out, how to jam my hand into a crack, without having the feeling, that its pulling the skin of my hand like a plastic bag xD
If you shouted more, I’m sure it would attract more attention to you climbing -> more attention to what you’re climbing -> more attention to crack climbing 👌
Take down turn shoes clipped on harness and change to them after the crack. That double knee bar after the crack looks very boomer to do that. Problem solved.

@@alexweitz I was there, he literally flashed it with ease yet he recorded it after doing some fails to make it more believable!
Anyone else remember that sneaky fingerlock he found on the second crux which made it way easier? ;)
@AlexWeitz He did didn't he?
That's how I remember it...

We NEED to see Adam in the crack cellar!!!
Or foot in the crack and screaming in the cellar

Impressed with Stefano's adaptability.

What a joy seeing the ultimate climbing bromance back together!
'she is the crack and he is the climber' - atm my gf came into the room and gave me a very stern look
I’m legit cracking up at Tom’s takeaway … “we need to shout more” with a bigass smile. Amazing
Pete "I spent an hour on the crux of silence" Whittaker. Took Stefano 3 days. Just saying.
Pete didn't land the crux though, he just spent an hour tryint
@@eloytoro in my mind, he did
Also, their objectives are not really the same. Pete wanted to see if there was a different beta for the crack where Stefano just wants to survive that bit with minimal effort.
Remember, the stuff before the actual crack of crux 1 is potentially even the harder part which I don't believe Pete tried.
Remember, Pete is a fucking super wad and an inspiration to sausage fingered crack fondellers. I believe he actually sent the full route in like 2 days and just didn't tell anyone because he understands preserving the status quo.
That clip of Stefano squeezing that comp boulder is insane. Don’t understand how power like that is possible.
Wasn't even a boulder problem - it was during the last 3rd of the lead wall 😮
ever since I visited flatanger this summer I'm even more invested in everything that's going on with silence. so thanks a lot for this video :)

That's how we should all ease into crack climbing, those entry grade 5.14b classics like Cobra Crack and Century Crack. 🤣
I’ve enjoyed watching Stefano work this route, but really enjoyed your analysis of his efforts. I do hope he sends Silence.
We do need both Adam and Stefano in the crack cellar. Soooooo epic.
You guys need to come back to Squamish and try the Sky Cobra project!!! 5.15 crack climbing with all the view of the entire valley below you, truly the king of king lines!
Is that the big roof thing?

We're not doing it 😅...only if Adam and Stefano are keen 😏
@@WideBoyz is that just to bait them into a collab? ;) or would you really not want to do it on your own?
@@WideBoyz Saying you're not doing it is the first step towards eventually doing it.
Ahh, I am guilty of the lip trumpet as well. The elephant! 🐘
Great video as always.
The sound effects of Pete's hand jams is glorious!!!
I wonder if Adam being tall makes his sequence preferable over Stefano's. Sometimes it comes down to body type and how you fit into certain positions.
Rooting for Stefano. Can't wait to see him send this thing.
I'll be impressed when you get Jakob to talk about jams.
One of my favourite videos from you guys so far
I for one want more screaming in the video.
Lets get Pete back out there! Really enjoying silence content.
Boyz! Ipswich project! Yes!
My local bridge. Can get down there and take some pics of the crack if you're interested.
It's a biggie
@@WideBoyz it is indeed.
Not sure how wide the crack is. Hopefully not horribly wide.
I want to see a Monty python style ministry of silly cracks
I live near this cave, and have seen adam climbing silence. Its absolutely insane to see this
Talking about those beautiful classics... when will we hear more about the Crucifix Project?
"Adam's bringing crack back" straight outta Compton
@6:52 the tea kettle did it for me in this one.
I love that subliminal suggestive psychology they do to Adam and Stefano hahahah
also stefano hasn't done the first crux yet btw...he has done all the moves but hasn't linked it yet (although i'm very sure he'll do it very quick when he returns to flatanger)
Watched all of Stephano's video of this crack crux, was a good video & the Ondra/Whittaker input was good to see. Yes the start was breaking bad stylee funny 😂 didn't read anyone saying Pete had done up to the crack crux and yes there's another crux higher up.
Need Adam and Stefano in the Cellar to see who can set the hardest route there.
Not crack climbing but adam and magnus have got a vid of them attempting (and failing) to climb a bridge.
I would love to see either of them on Century
Is it possible to switch shoes mid climb?? Is that allowed?
puttin on shoes is hard enough on the ground haha
Quite sure that would be desperate...
But yes it's allowed
@@WideBoyz Next video! Shoe-switch during knee bar beta!
@@WideBoyz this is easiest as a segment of a crackipede
If you could find a good head jam I reckon it's possible
As Adam and Stefano are both La Sportiva athletes, in regards to the shoe topic, I wonder if trying the Kataki would be a better compromise compared to the Miura they use? It’s still pretty stiff, can be sized more loosely, but they still have a slight downturn on just the toe.

Or hey, for all we know, they already took one of each LaSpo shoe up there and tried each model
I thought Ondra uses Solutions?
@@suckieduckie In regards to the shoe they wear to foot jam in the crack on Silence
So Pete doesn't want us to say he climbed the crux of silence bc with his crazy crack-beta it's not a crux anymore? You're too humble!
Pete didn't land the crux, just one move
What about Empath as an entry level trad stroll for A and S? Did you guys ever buy into the question of whether the bolts should be removed from that route?
Favorite line from the video has to be 5:15 XDD
Adam and stefano should try my favorite crack -> Recovery Drink!!
"Adam is bringing crack back"
All over America Bloods and Crips are rejoicing on hearing this news.
Best of the Boyz right here
every time how important shoes are for specific terrains comes up i remember how crazy it is that sharma climbed dream catcher in moccasyms and witness the fitness in anasazi's
dreamcatcher in moccs is so impressive considering all that heel hooking, haha!!
Such humility from Pete, the second person to climb the crux of silence ;)
Pete didn't do it though, he only tried
@@eloytoro The winking face means it's a joke
I've heard Pete climbed the Silence crux and found his solution even faster than Adam and Ste :O
Stefano can change shoes on that double knee bar
Pete did the crux move!!!
Pete did the Silence crux
Does Tom have Turrets? I can see his left eye twitching involuntarily in the video.
nice talk great video
i thought i was only doing tea khettle thing 🤣🤣😂
Entry level cracks like cobra 😂😂
Your not shouting cause your British. Pomp and composure are in your blood.
Wot if u had 2 different pares of shoes on your harness
Sorry didn’t read all the comments
Didn't stefano film ondra climb silence?
Good effort on Ninja warrior, next time!
seriously. Even after some help and explanations, I could still not figure out, how to jam my hand into a crack, without having the feeling, that its pulling the skin of my hand like a plastic bag xD
When WideBoyz Australian crack tour?!
Man knows the ins and outs of hard crack
I'm not sure the thermonuclear farts are the same thing as the power screams.
I am also getting "No stream. Tap to retry"
Not sure what's happened here. Trying to resolve, back up soon
Good luck trying to drag the guys away from their lovely European locations to do a bridge in Ipswich 😆
"Regular climbing's too hard" - for the next line of WB t shirts
the video doesn't work, it says "no streaming"
Not sure what's happened here. Trying to resolve, back up soon
Couldn't one change a shoe in one of the knee bars, just before the crack!
That would be incredibly diffcult
@@WideBoyz Really hard. For sure. But would be a fun experiment, wouldn't it?
Seb Bouins DNA exists :P
Ondra needs to come to the cellar
No shields in climbing except... one SHOULD climb to one's own natural movement patterns...
What's the Ipswich project?!
They were showing pictures of it when they were talking about it
@@eloytoro but they didn't show pictures of the actual crack features.. were they implying it's an offwidth?
If you shouted more, I’m sure it would attract more attention to you climbing -> more attention to what you’re climbing -> more attention to crack climbing 👌
silence is actually a 9B according to other climbers who are not adam ondra but then again what is a grade system
Seeing "Boys" as "Boyz" but "Analyze" as "Analyse" as an American was a slightly dyslexic experience
Take down turn shoes clipped on harness and change to them after the crack. That double knee bar after the crack looks very boomer to do that. Problem solved.
Adam’s method looks easiest I would say🤔
Yeah your foot might get detached from the knee join, but besides that looks easiest
I just wonder how his neck supports his head
It's stEfano not stefAAAno 😁
10 years on we need to ask ourselves - is there a crack these boys can’t climb?
Quite honestly, every time Ondra screams I get the shivers and wanna turn it off. It makes me really uncomfortable :D
Is not stefáno! Te right accent is stèfano
I love crack
first🙃
Second!!!
i think your content is interesting to watch but you are so down bad for cloud its actually rough to watch
