Will Gadd: You shouldn't consider leading ice until you have climbed at least 150 ice pitches Tom Randall with 0 pitches climbed: Right, off we go then! Love it.
Tom is hilarious. There’s something infinitely charming about watching 2 dudes who you know are some of the most competent people in the world have absolutely no idea what’s going on.
i cannot properly express how much i love tom and his whole personality/attitude/way of doing things. he comes across as the guy who is impulsive as hell in a good way and would love to go on random spontaneous trips or adventures or start projects right left and centre. it's a delight to watch
@@martinbril5619 there is no No for every one, depends on the experience u have with other climbing or alpine activities... I did exactly one top rope, and then lead, but i knew how to move with and use crampons from the glaciers...
I think leading something easy on your second day is not unusual if you have a very good coach. Maybe Pete and Tom are extremely quick learners (I think they are) or maybe it was a weekend trip edited down to look like a single day
I though it was supposed to be a joke but Kev said he didn’t know they were going to do it and felt a bit miffed I think…. And that was Kev with his posh voice on (the Ice Factor phone reception voice!)
This guys head game is kind of out of this world… because his technique (here) was garbage lol … wild that he lead this massive ice route on his “intro to ice day” bhahahhaah
@@martinbril5619 no, i'm not trolling, maybe if you climb on the 7a level you could find ice climbing difficoult, but if you climb on "harder" grades like 8a and more you will find ice climbing waaay easier. In my example, i climb around 8b+ and when i rarely go ice climbing i try hard stuff like 5/6 but during the pitch i don't feel like i'm really trying, i probably give more effort doing a 7b than an ice climbing with a grade beetwen 5 and 6...
How has this not been recommended for me before
4:45 i love how hes just like, "nah im gonna do a jam instead" lol

Love it.
For real they were way nonchalant about the risks here.

C'mon RUclips, why did you take this long to recommend this. Here's a comment for that algorithm.
Odd way to pass the time waiting for ondra to come to the cellar....
My annual watch as I wait for Michigan ice to form. We all have our holiday traditions and this is mine
Extremely fun to watch.
Brilliant 😎 , more of kev and the wide boys 👍
Beautiful, hilarious, love it
Sick video, idk why I haven't seen this before
l love you both!
Next episode, they climb the offwidth next to the ice! (please!)
bish bash bosh
Passing up a good cam placement....very disappointed in ya' lads. Other than that, a very strange sort of crack climbing.
It's an ice training sash so why use cams when you need to learn how to start off ice screws whilst holding a pointy stick ?

Not as giggly on ice as on rock
Is it normal to try and lead something on your first day lol?
definitely not. Ice climbing is not rock climbing. I don't know why nobody else has even mentioned it.

Good film though.

why use your gear when you can do a jam... ^^

Are you guys serious? He can't even place a proper screw and yet is left to lead the route? Completely irresponsible.
Come on he is a strong climber, ice climbing for a strong climber is like going up on a ladder
@@lucaa4480 Ice climbing is not rock climbing.
@@martinbril5619 yes is way easier
@@lucaa4480 okay bud, nice trolling with ya
