  • In this week's episode I (Sam), have an afternoon out at Burbage South, going round a circuit of quality boulders in the low to mid 7s. Some of them are mega classics, and others have been a bit forgotten over the years.

    Great video. This one felt special. The commentary over the video rather than pointed at a face really made it feel more natural. Like I was having a conversation with you at the crag or on the drive to a crag; hearing about your experiences and the boulders you planned to get on and why. It was engaging right the way through and not only showed off the climbing, it highlighted your love of the sport. Thanks 😊

    The back wall of the quarry that contains Violence is the boulder traverse of Picnic In Palestine. I did it aged 64. The pocket on the left side is out of bounds. When Andy Barker and I did 3 variations on ''Hanging Prow'' back in the 70's we named it Lumbago.

    Really loved this video. Personally I really like them with the commentary, it gives you a bit more insight into what’s going on with each boulder.
    P.S pocket wall looked sick 🤌

    That’s a very strong day out. Even if it’s way below your limit. Lots of hard problems. Good to see some beta for Greased Lightning. Looks like a committing high heel.
    Anyway, banging video, as ever. +1 fan of the commentary.

    Very nice video, and very enjoyable to watch and listen to! I feel that the climbs in this grade range have a optimal fun to strength ratio. Gives me some inspiration to get back outside and to be more comfortable on doing more laps on boulders in this grade range (and climbing more of them!)

    @andersandersen9720 2 года назад +1

    Keep it up with the commentary, think it's really important with story build up. It doesn't have to be commentary, can also be you telling the story of who did it, where it is, what betas are used, is it frequently climbed, hard/easy for the grade and why so on so forth. As always thanks for your content.

      @WEDGECLIMBING  2 года назад

      Visiting London or visiting from London? If visiting London I'm not too sure, there isn't that much rock around there. If visiting the peak from London then I'd say somewhere like Stanage or Burbage has the most good stuff to go at in that sort of grade range 👍
