- How safe is trad climbing? Well depends is you trust your climbing gear to catch a fall! Robbie & Culann take on some beautiful routes climbing the scottish sea cliffs. (SPOILER) Traditional Climbing + Bad Climbing Gear Placements = Big Climbing Falls
Scotland has some of the most beautiful rock climbing in the world. If you're looking for a scenic climbing destination and love beautiful rock climbing you’ll love the sea cliff climbing in Scotland. Who needs to go climbing in Kalymnos, bouldering in Joshua Tree, or climbing in Spain! Trust us it’s your new favourite place to go climbing.
Hope you enjoy seeing Robbie take some big climb falls this week, watch this space for our crack climbing video with Wide Boyz Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall next week.
That purple C3 didn't even consider holding that fall! I think the wind from Robbie falling pulled it out. Classic British trad shenanigans.
I was so surprised it slipped out. The coastal granite is a fickle beast - sometimes it holds you (the green C3 on one lobe) and sometimes it doesn’t...
Lol that thing was just like "yeah, naw mate" and buggered off.
Hahaha the bitch list, the translation and the homer simpson bit. This is some real quality content.
Show few more falls like this and I'm selling my trad gear.
😂 better start cleaning your gear up for eBay then 😉
Purple c3 didn’t stand a chance
That was crazy, perfect filmmaking, beautiful place and insane performance more of this please!
I laugh so hard with the Redemption edit. Awesome climbing destination, all the scenario makes it more bold (considering is trad!). Great content as always man.
Thanks dude! Good thing Culann redeemed himself in the end 😜 Shame he didn’t pick up a nice French girl though... 😞
Beautiful location, gear fails and Culann swimming in his pants, this has it all. 😂🤘💪👍
Robbie is a legend
Lovin trad stuff
absolute gold content!
I love the climbing lifestyle that allows 50p to raise eyebrows as a wild amount of money to bet and £1 to make it ultra serious :') Great vid guys!
I’m not much of a gambler, it wastes money I could be using on climbing 😂 which sometimes feels like a different sort of gambling 🎰
Got excited when I saw Earnsheugh in the thumbnail but wasn’t in the video
Haha 😂 sorry about that. We did get footage of earnsheugh but didn’t make the cut in the end
Robbie Phillips no worries saves ruining my onsights hahah was that Pterodactyl you were on?
Yep! Did all the E5’s at that crag that day. Brilliant!
Robbie Phillips Awesome stuff dude!
Such good content.
Now thats what i call sketchy gear vol.1
Haha eventually we should do a compilation of the best falls and worst gear on the channel haha
That's super funny because just today I was belaying barefoot on this hanging belay on the second pitch of a climb. luckily I didn't get thrown into the wall and stuck my toe though.
I wanna see #POO4POWER trending.... Or at least a t-shirt :D
Hahaha yesss!!! Probably a limited supply though... reckon it might make people sick 🤢 💩
17° is a good climbing day in Australia haha
Haha I know, spent 5 weeks there in 2014. Amazingly I got used to it quite quickly. But in Scotland that’s a hot day so when they do come around I get destroyed!
🤘
Does that hippy guy fall off everything!!
Apparently so 😂
Amazing!! I wanna climb there!
So when are you like, going to climb with subs 🤔
9OH9LCS probably when the global pandemic is over?
Not the most beautiful climbing in the world but unbelievable cojones 😅
Pretty bold title. Yosemite? Patagonia? "...in the world." REALLY?
There’s some pretty bold climbing in there too. It’s not supposed to mean “this is the best”, it’s just a title to suggest this is a beautiful spot, and we will do more videos with the same thread in the title to suggest other mega beautiful spots. Plus, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so it’s not really something you can debate 😂
Have you met Scottish people? Anywhere in Scotland automatically is better than anywhere else in the world
Hahahaha so true!
everybody poops just before a trad/sport route...it is something no one talks about
I read an article years ago from Steve McClure where he mentioned it. Apparently the weight saved with a big 💩 is pretty negligible. I was surprised because I always felt lighter after... maybe it’s in the mind 🧠
@@RobbiePhillips the gut is our second brain, it is said :)) if you free it, you can climb flawlessly
@@unknownboulder1205 #FreeThePoo 💩
no
Best episode yet boys!
Wow that Irish guy is awesome
As feck
Well done that man
i agree
I know, right?
You know Robbie is mad when the mic is clipping after he takes a massive whip and he’s nowhere near the mic.
🤣
I'm going to watch this video everytime I consider buying trad gear 😂 🐔
It’s definitely a cost effective video... trad gear is expensive!
Awesome video! The Homer Simpson quotes had me in stitches.
Canny beat a bit of Homer Simpson
beautiful! That fall looked fkn scary though!
Which one!? 😂 they were all scary haha
I was playing sound on my speakers when Robbie fell...mistake lmao
Ooft... sorry about that 😅
Brilliant episode guys. Loved it. Especially liked the translation bits 🤣
Thanks man! Haha yeah, we all love our excuses
This is so good, love the bitching makes me feel more normal :)
“To bitch is climber; to forget, divine” - RP
Truer words never been spoken. It’s a part of what it is to be a climber 🧗♂️ Don’t bottle it. Let it out, you always feel better after a good bitch 😂
Bitching is climbing!! LOL Great episode. I would love to give some of these a try some day.
Haha we all love a good bitch once in a while
translation: „bad route setting“ 😂😂😂 you guys are bloody hilarious! love it!
Quality
Thanks man!
Watching the videos backwards ruined the suspense here...
That was awesome... You guys should head over to the east coast of Ireland for next adventure. Ive seen some footage with steve mcclure I think.... it was outrageous.
also, the drone footage is amazing too!
Yeah Ireland is high on the list. Inis Mor, Fairhead, Mournes, all that!!!
And yeah... we splashed out a bit 😂
@@RobbiePhillipsthis was a great episode. The anxious energy and that onsight attempt could be felt all they way here in Germany!
Oh god I bet. I’m still feeling it now and that was 2 weeks ago 😂
When are you gonna climb in America? Vermont has awesome climbing... not like out west but exceptional and its not on fire. Bolton and Smugglers Notch are phenomenal! Sick video as always. You guys are a riot. Would love to climb with you guys just to laugh!🤣
Can’t wait to get back out to the states. Think it will be a while though. Probably not for another year at least looking at Covid :(
damn, gumby here: what’s up with having so many ropes?
Not a bad question at all, it’s a very British thing 🇬🇧 In Trad climbing often you have gear placed all over the place which can mean the rope gets pulled in lots of directions. There’s several ways to avoid this:
1) extend all your gear with slings - this is really useful, but if you only had one rope you’d have to extend some gear by A LOT, which also means if you fall you’re going to fall further.
2) Climb with two half ropes (they are around 7,9 - 8,9mm) so you can clip either side of you
In the U.S. most trad climbing follows crack lines so gear is very linear making a single rope for trad ok. In the U.K. that’s not the case, we climb on faces largely, so double ropes is generally more effective.
Hope that answers your question 🙂
Robbie Phillips wow, thank you! makes a lot of sense.
Is it just me, or is that entire cliff covered in bird shit? I think you guys need to do some more videos, especially Culann failing and swearing his head off.
Haha theyre on their way
Awesome video!! Bold climbing, love it!
Lol, "I'm keeping it in for power" Poo power
Bunch of nutters I love it!!
sick intro
You have a sweet thing going. I fucking loved this video
Thanks dude 🙌
Holy hell, what a great trip! Gorgeous spot! Looks like a ton of fun!
And strangely it’s one of these places in Scotland that very few travel to. I must say I think that was my favourite trip of 2020 🙂
Really Awesome. Next trip: scotland!
Do it 🏴 🙌
best climbing content on youtube, great work guys
Cheers dude 🍻
Congrats on the E6 Culann! Great episode boys. Cheers from Colorado!
yet another great video, was a pretty nice litte fall you got there, good to see it went well even thought the pice fell out, keep the good video's comming but don't push them to far over the safety limit, pretty sure things was in control here, but stay safe, some things you should not push to far, pretty sure you know that already, but good footage is not worth risking your life for somethinge we all need a reminder of every now and than, keep crushing and can't wait for the next video wherever it is, and whatever your doing always nice to see some sick climbing footage like this, but i hope to not see any big ground fall on the channel is my point, but if it happens it does
Thanks man, appreciate what you’re saying. This route was a pretty safe route anyway - big fall, but wasn’t gonna hurt myself - and I wouldn’t do anything just for the video 🙂 definitely wouldn’t take risks. Life is too precious.
Im now Cullen's biggest fan. great send on that e6!
really cool vid lads. loving the style of vlogs
Hilarious!! Loved it!! I always carry two black Totems, even on 5.9 haha, life saver piece of gear, my favorite
Yep. My favourite piece of gear!
What’s the arete finish go at?
No idea? Definitely would add a spicy crux finale. It’s all slopers and bird crap. Possibly hard E7 or maybe E8?
Purple cam bomber? Ha, next time actually test it as opposed to just shoving it in and praying it will hold.
easier said than done on sweaty granite slopers mate
Robbie Phillips No problem, lol. Just add it to your bitch list.. let’s see, that would be: Gear llll, tired l, weather lll, steep l, slime l, and Sweaty Granite Slopers l... I’m not dissing you though, you climb better than I do and you were out there sending it. I’m just sitting on my butt hoping I don’t get COVID...
Never shy of a wee bitch! Haha 😂 I think at that point I didn’t really care much for testing, just shove it in and go!
Everybody drives on the wrong side of the road. absolute mad lads
