- Ever wanted to go deeper with your favorite climbers? Find out their background, what makes them tick, what drives them on and even how they see themselves?
In Beyond Limits we delve into the life and mind of self-deprecating British climbing legend Steve McClure to get his very personal take on his climbing career. We track his life from his first steps in the mountains, to the accident that derailed him, and his subsequent journey to become Britain’s best-ever sport climber claiming the prize of the UK’s first 9b.
And, in parallel to this process of unravelling the psyche of a superstar, we get to see Steve doing what he does best; pulling hard on very small holds. So, in between being grilled about his life, we let Steve loose on Clandestino, 9a, to see if he can tick something off his ‘bucket list’ by grabbing his first route of this grade abroad. And in true Epic TV style there’s one small catch: Steve's got just a week to do it!
Watch Steve climb five 8b+ routes in a week: • Steve McClure Takes On...

What I appreciate most about Steve is his humility.
Great film. Out of curiosity though, I’m guessing Steve wears his shoes super small as I’ve seen him in numerous videos now with his laces totally undone and loose so surely the only way he can be keeping them on is if they are extremely tight front-to-back 🤔
Even more than his (outstanding) climbing, what impresses me is how good he is as a person
I wish this would have been recommended to me earlier. What a legend and what a great tribute video. So inspiring, makes me want hit the gym even though I haven't ticked 8a yet!
Such a chilled nice bloke. Happens to be an awesome climber too!
Steve is certainly one of my heroes.
This is an incredible film about an incredible person. Thanks for making and posting this.
Thanks for the kind words...
Thoroughly enjoyed that!
20 years of 9a climbing. What a machine
Great film of a great guy, really enjoyed it.
Steve such an inspiration 🙌 👏
Keeps me motivated to climb as well as you one day
Keep it up and maybe see you around if I'm lucky

Such a beautiful man, such an inspiration.
love strong steve - what a great guy to have leading the sport in this country!!
Top man, humble legend
Adam Ondra should be very worried if only Steve McClure one day decides to tighten his shoelaces!
so inspiring
Great video guys!
Thanks!!!
amazing video! :)
Thanks!! Much appreciated...
Climbing 9a without even tying his shoes
Better foot flexibility? I would be paranoid of one coming off. Of course no heel hooking either.
Untied probably because they were filming sections after the send.
ive heard him say in other videos that he wears them so tight that tying them makes no difference
@cole Nope! Steve very rarely ties his shoes. Nothing to do with the filming (would be quite a shocking continuity error also...!)
15:00 - 16:00 song : American Hebrew - Davis absolute
Wasn't this the video that was on epic tv like one week ago?
Yeah it was we normally release our videos on both platforms :)
11:00 "it's not gonna be long before they wipe the floor with my route" I don't think so...Really inspiring video!
Mis mayores respetos y admiración, eres de los mejores escaladores del mundo, aprecio tu humildad y bestia talento y experiencia, un abrazo muy fuerte para ti
Could a guy like this do something like the el cap or is it night and day difficulty wise?
El caps climbing is way easier than this, but a lot longer, it's like comparing a 4 minute mile to a 2 hour marathon, both very hard but very different
Britain's first 9b - at the age of 47! Wow! Makes the younger UK climbers look like slackers ;-)
Richie Patterson is the fucking man. "keep him on a need to know basis" LOL
Since this film is released for free here, how was this financed?
DynoSour probably with sponsorships. If you see he is wearing a shirt with a huge 5.10 logo on it. Using petzl and black diamond quickdraws and other gear. Lastly they make revenue from the ads as well.

Steve McClure taught me that the key to sending 9a is to never tie your shoe laces
So does he even complete the route ?... confused
Doen't look like it...
The need to know is gonna turn into Yes, prime minister pt 2
Didn't his mum teach him to lace his boots? :)
The heel on those blancos has a lot of tension, so your toes are crammed into the front regardless of whether you do the laces up.
Lovely film, but atrocious music. Not needed.
So u’d rather have no music? Just Steve talking? Fair enough he does have a very dulcet tone to his voice😌
@@EpicTV Yes, or something less intrusive. But love your clips.
