In May of this year, Robbie Phillips made the long awaited first repeat of Dave Macleod's bold E8, Impulse, in the Nevis Range, Scotland. Macleod climbed the route back in 2001, and after working the route on top rope for just under a day, Robbie Phillips made his attempt in windy, but dry weather.
@RobbiePhillips as well as being a very successful RUclipsr, Robbie is also a dedicated environmentalist, and shares some of his secrets into how we as climbers can be more sustainable when choosing our gear.

Robbie Phillips Makes 1st Repeat Of Dave MacLeod E8 After 21 Years | Climbing Daily Ep.2055
Good effort on the ascent and moreover for capturing this beautiful route on film. For the record, I did the second ascent of this climb, about 5 mins after Dave. That doesn’t seem to be recorded anywhere, so fair enough!
Hey Tom, thanks for getting in touch, we’re very sorry that we didn’t know about this, and also congratulations! Amazing story, and FairPlay the route looks bold as 💪
@@dailyclimbing No worries! We only had quill pens and parchment to write on back then so the details have been lost in intervening centuries. Top film 👍
Wow! This video is so high quality. Great shots 👌 I also like the calmness in it. Really makes me wanna go to Scotland
Always exciting to see Robbie Phillips tackle new projects!
Scottish climbers are some of my favourite. Smith and MacLeod are inspiring characters... and lately some youngsters like Bosi and Milne look like they know what they re doing 💪
Robbie and Dave are by far my two favorite climbers!
Wow...what a wonderful clip. And Robbie, no silly cartoon inserts or clowning around. Cheers, from Australia.
awesome visual of pulling through the top with ben nevis in the background.
Robbie is a bloody legend.
I think this has been repeated, someone made a swift second accent of this route if i remember correctly. Was a long time ago but i was a complete climbing nerd at the time and followed daves routes closely. Might be wrong though
Scary stuff! Congrats!
Looks like an amazing line. Really enjoyed this one.
This was an incredible video, good work and sweet route!
What's that absail device?
Probably asking about the taz lov3
Great vid, would love for you guys to share the music you use in the description.
Sick video
Great stuff. Love the atmosphere of Robbie's videos.
Why dont w just top rope stuff like this? The climbing would be just as hard right, or what am I missing?
Another option would be to add one or two bolts...
The head game...
The UK, and Scotland especially has a VERY anti-bolt ethic. Absolutely no bolts in the moutains under any circumstances. Bolts are only found at dedicated sport climbing crags. Topropes are seen as a lesser way to climb, they remove a lot of risk and can be used to take juuust a little bit of the climbers weight - I think most people in the UK would consider this aid.
So the only way to do what most UK climbers consider a clean (trad) ascent is to lead completely on gear you place yourself
I think it’s probably because there isn’t so much rock in the UK that you can just bolt or place anchors everywhere. You’d run out of traditional climbing too quickly. Also, nothing’s stopping people from top roping this on a trad anchor, and I’d personally see that as a victory on it’s own :) But we can’t really say “the climbing is just as hard”. If TR, and lead really are just as hard, then there shouldn’t need to be a preference for TR right? TR sends are definitely worth noting, but lead and trad will always be a step up and that’s okay.
Not as badass. Plain and simple.
How is this a 'classic' if it had one ascent lol
If the gear is useless and your gonna deck from anywhere above it anyways why not just solo the climb
I think you misunderstood. The gear is good enough to protect the crux. After that its more like soloing, but relatively easy.
