    Jesus christ shadow women is the most brutal battle of a boulder I've ever seen. Unreal. Aiden is a beast.

    Very relatable to hear Sam say “I’m over it” after battling the whole session, and then still pulling it together to send a hard line. Legend.
    The highlight though was Aidan’s FA of Shadow Women. What a show of body tension on mingin’ holds. Always so impressive. Do we know how long he’d been eyeing off that extension?
    Cheers for the great content as always.

    Edit whilst watching: Dalt Wood Roof! That’s near the grange campsite near the bowderstone? me and my pal stay there when we make out annual pilgrimage to see if we’re still weaklings. Legit thought it was called “Dat Wood Boulder” on UKC

    Why not just use like an angle grinder/chisel and some drills to create ur own lines on the boulders? like if something is missing etc or feels like it should be added and that change turns it from impossible to possible/very fun? just a crimp. pocket or w/e? sure dont ruin someone elses, but if youre finding or trying to create new ones why not, its just boulders after all youre not destroying a mountain..
