That was one of your best videos ever! Jim looked so happy with himself haha. For anyone who hasn't seen these boulders in person, they are a lot bigger than you might realise. Not to be taken away, careless torque and crescent arete are really quite intimidating in person.
The heartbeat in the intro reminds of the opening of Hard Grit, when Jean-Minh Trinh-Thieu takes a massive whipper on Gaia and, colliding with the arete, nearly snaps his leg in half. I would love to fly across the pond and give the gritstone a go someday. You guys have an amazing channel.
I can’t believe how small this channel is!!! The quality is excellent not to mention the content. I could see this blowing up big time. P.S you should link up with Pete and Tom from Wideboyz. That would be an epic colab
Story goes; Jerry walked up to malc when he managed the “second ascent” of careless torque, shook his hand and said “well done on the first ascent” cause he didn’t believe Ron had climbed it….Such was there rivalry at the time(supposedly)
Ace content as always! Psyched for the season! There’s some weird esoterica right at Plantation, might be worth giving some of the less popular but great problems some love! Catch you around!

Good stuff! I've been eying up a trip to England for a while now. What is typically the driest season? Is it possible to climb grit during summer (or on some of the limestone)?
Thanks! Hmmm, they're all pretty wet really... Summer is more reliably dry, but you'll have a hard time climbing hard on Grit when it's hot, Limestone is a better option in the heat. Or some areas like The Lakes and Wales have good options for when it's a bit warmer as well.
That's a tricky one. For gritstone (which this is), it's easier when it's colder, but in the colder months it's often wet. Other rock types are less important for it to be really cold. Probably spring is the best time, it's normally a bit more reliable weather wise, but can still be a little bit cooler 👍

Thanks! Means a lot 😁
Enjoyed watching that. It already looked like you were having the perfect time, and then Colin the caterpillar came out.
Thanks! Haha Colin always brings the vibes 👌
May have been 2 years, but this is still a beautifully edited video
Thanks!

That was the inspiration 👌
Thanks!

That was a treat! Nice one y’all. Think I saw you working Captain Hook that day…
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed. Probably, there were a good few people around...
Yeah, everyone seemed to be out that day.
Ooof mega! great sends as always! Oh and nice film burns and broll cutaways! 😉🤫
Cheers! Haha can't beat a nice film burn...
Fantastic job mate. Beautifully filmed.

Well done guys, great video. I hope one day to head up to Stanage to climb but have a lot to do in the SW 1st 🙂👍
Cheers! It's definitely worth a trip 👌
You guys are awesome 😍😍
Thanks 😁
Awesome video!
Thanks!
Awesome video, not sure these are must climbs for those of us in the 6s but I can dream.
Thanks! NTBTA and Crescent arete are definitely worth a look
You can do NTBTA. Getting off the ground is desperate, and every move from there gets easier.
Jim during the outro lol, I look at rocks just the same as him xD
I knew it that he is gonna to do it. Just off to Trowbarrow.
Careless Torque 🤯
Awesome.
Cheers!
The froth is real
Like a choppy sea
Watching later but commenting now for the algoooooo!
🙏 haha thanks! Hope you enjoy it when you watch it 💪💪

Stanage without midges! must be great!
I felt Jim's brain at 8:11 go oh shit I'm on it, is that it? Fuck.
😅 it's not often Jim sounds panicked
What camera do you use? Edits and quality are amazing!
Thanks! I use a Sony A7Siii

Has Jim done Archangel? That would be sick on video!
🤔 I think he probably has. We've got some trad stuff in the works...

When is the best season to bouldering in Peak District?
That's a tricky one. For gritstone (which this is), it's easier when it's colder, but in the colder months it's often wet. Other rock types are less important for it to be really cold. Probably spring is the best time, it's normally a bit more reliable weather wise, but can still be a little bit cooler 👍
NTBTA is good but Crescent Arete is better
I agree 👌
