@@liveclimbrepeat7563 It's a serious comment. The top piece has to stop both a falling climber and a now a sprinting belayer. You can see that the gear managed to stop some momentum before it ripped so it did have some resistance, perhaps just not the more instantaneous load plus the belayers pull. You can take one pace back into a crouch leaning forward and simultaneously pull one arms length of slack to reduce the fall but also be ready for a dynamic catch. The belayer here just flung himself in the opposite direction. Perhaps neither the belayer nor the climber trusted the last runner enough to even try with it so they agreed on the running catch, so it isn't unreasonable.
Nil Alcubilla ground up means not working the moves on top rope first, so when he fell the first time he got back on without checking out the rest of the climb.
The fall at the start would have been fatal if your had rotated the other way and hit your head. So many leader falls end in fatal accidents due to those type of head injuries.
Why not to bolt it somewhere higher? The fall is high enough to cause the injury that will forever keep you from climbing. Never could understand unnecessary risks.
Did that biner flash when it broke (or whatever it did) on the first fall?
at 4:22.......did you hit the ground on that fall? And if so, how did you not break your legs? That was crazy!
Good question...
Hello, I;m from the future. He hit the ground on rope stretch so that would have slowed him down considerably.
looks like he had some boulder mats down too
At 6:44 are those excavated holes?
Yes. It's an old quarried edge. www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/crags/millstone_edge-19/the_masters_edge-10767
Good camera work- still think Green Death is the nicest line.
why cut last ascent?!
this made my palms sweat
That swing around the arête was so unintentional
good job but why wear a helmut on the grit but not on masters edge
No wonder his top bit of gear pulled on that first climb. His belayer sprinted back into the catch.
not to mention how far away from the wall he was
I don’t know if this is a serious comment or not.... he ran back to pull slack in to stop a grounder 😅

Partheon Shot? Brutal fall!
in the first video it says: 2nd ground up attempt... Does that mean that u toproped it previously? If so, i wouldnt find any point on it

Hey, his t-shirt says E9 but he's only climbing like E7s. What a fraud

Pretty rare considering
Why do these folks use helmets and ropes on boulder problems?
TheSlim Because you don't get bonus points for being cocky ?
+TheSlim Because if they don't, they bang their heads and end up spending their time posing stupid questions on RUclips
+TheSlim Because it is cheaper than boulderpads :D
Just kidding :x
They are not STUPID!

@Arina Thomsen Clearly you're not clued up on the ethics of traditional climbing of gritstone edges in the UK. www.thebmc.co.uk/ethics-and-climbing
Jesus christ. Lose the music!
Mark Davies. yes totally unnecessary.
its not a flash when you've watched others do it and know where the holds are and what and where the gear goes.
what? yes it is lol
