Thanks! Yes, lots of fun this one. Check it out when you get back to Stanage. It's so good!

Yes, I get that. Took me about 5 years to get a full rack of cams.

Without cams! That's practically a solo! You must have been in the zone dude. Can't remember seeing any nut placements on my climb. Would have loved to see that. Thanks for watching Andrew, glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks Dan. Such a great triple. I cant recommend them enough. Thanks for watching.

Yes, it's actually a really good place when the weather looks dodgy. The climbs are generally short so its possible to blast up a few before the weather turns.

Ah thanks. Just remember to tell your friend to keep the pain tolerance low. If it hurts more than a 1 or 2 out of 10 then thats too much in my opinion. If climbing simple jugs takes them over that pain threshold then I would say they are not quite ready to go back to climbing just yet. Most importantly, they need to see a good Physiotherapist and get a treatment plan. Thanks again for watching.

Is it an A2 pulley injury (in-between the first knuckle and where the finger connects to your hand)?

Petzl Shunt is the device I'm using. I like the simplicity of it. Thanks for watching.

Tell me about it. I belayed my second up the climb and by the time we had got back down he was still in the same spot! Did you also spot the guy behind me taking a piss on my summary at the end? I never noticed till it was pointed out to me in one of the other comments. 🤣

Ah. Thanks for that. Really appreciate you leaving a comment. Couldn't believe I got on it on a sunny weekend at Stanage! By the time my belayer was half way up there was already someone making the first moves below! BTW, that guy to the left of me was still there at the same spot after me and my climbing partner had got down, packed up and moved further down the crag. Thanks for watching mate! 👍👍

@@Green_Monkey_Footprints Haha! Whillan's Pendulum if I remember correctly. I seem to recall having a similar ponderous time on the top half of that one 😂

p.s. just noticed an old man pissing in the background of your outro 🤣🤣🤣

I can't not see it now you've pointed it out. LOVE IT! 😂😂😂

Hi there. Thanks for the comment. Well, I'd say that 90% of my climbing is leading trad.... However, in my area it's very difficult to find a belayer I trust, that is actually available when I am, and also has the patience to stand around while I faff about setting up camera gear. Sometimes I climb a route twice just so I can get a different camera angle. Not many climbing partners can tolerate this (it's their day out too right), so often the only option is to self belay since soloing really isn't my thing. No doubt it would be easier if I lived somewhere like Sheffield... but I don't. Anyway, not sure if the question was genuine or intended as an insult (I hope not), but I thought I'd answer it in any case for you and anyone else who had a similar query. Having said all that, the next video will be me trad climbing, it's just incredibly difficult to arrange logistically because of the above reasons so not sure how many I can do. Hopefully, I can compile a few more next summer. In the meantime, thanks for watching!
