    Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker are no stranger to hard crack climbs...but this one is proving to be their nemesis. Savagely overhanging with precarious jams throughout, the conditions need to be perfect for to climb the route. We go on a journey with them to find out the dedication needed to succeed.

      Finishing the climb from top to bottom without falling. On trad routes, it also means placing all your own gear as you climb.

      Could be that he has one foot bigger than the other so one shoe fits better

      Sometimes the majority of foot jams may be on one foot so they can choose a shoe that is good for jamming and maybe on the other foot they want a softer shoe for smearing etc

      Wind helps lower body temperatures when doing hard moves and prevents sweating, dries the skin and helps to dry the wall as well.
