Lords of Trad | Weekly Video

Lords of Trad | Weekly Video

This week's video comes from Czechia where Adam Ondra has invited Brits Pete Whittaker and Will Bosi out to sample some old school Czechian sandstone climbing. Striking towers, steeped in history and tradition, the climbing is an intense mixture of chimney jamming and thrutching across blank faces. Famous for not allowing the use of chalk or metal camming devices, a Czechian sandstone tower trip is a climbing experience like no other. Enjoy!

Can Pete Whittaker Survive an E10 Fall? | Weekly Video

Can Pete Whittaker Survive an E10 Fall? | Weekly Video

In this week's video we join Wide Boy, Pete Whittaker, as he revisits two of his most iconic first ascents - Dynamics of Change E9 at Burbage and Baron Greenback E10 at Wimberry. Both are death defying routes and certainly haven't got any easier for Pete some years after their original ascent. Climbing aside, the real highlight of this one is seeing the impact of a crux fall on both routes, aptly demonstrated in a 'scientific' way by an egg, this one's not to be missed. Enjoy!
