Beautifully controlled movement. Great to watch. What was the purpose of the helmet? To keep his head warm...?

Hi i know its a bit late but, I want to go on december in england for the first time and I really want to try some route in the range of idk HVS/E3, but this one really seems funny, I only want to know...in the guidebook says E4 6a, for tall people E2...ok but how tall? im ~180cm tall, is it enough? In reality i really dont care, i want to try but it's for knowing what to expect. Also if anyone has some classics lines to suggest, im in for it, even the more overlooked routes. Is the rockfax guide sold in UK in book form? Is it any good? Cheers, have a nice day...aslo the video was awesome

Great climbing. Brave to solo it. I don’t think I would have done that. 👍🏻

You've got some balls doing Dream THAT early on in your climbing career! I'd been climbing about 4 years, and was confidently leading E3 on grit and bouldering British 6b when I planned on doing Dream.....Got to the abseil point, and decided a resounding 'Fuck that'! Unfortunately, my mate had already got to the bottom, and he had to prussic all the way back up. He would have been totally justified if he'd knocked me out, but amazingly he didn't.

Impressive stuff mate, going for it despite not being 100% :) sounded like some hard grit mixed with a yoga session haha 'breathe.....relax......breathe'!!!

Impressive

Love Lawrencfield,, after climbing there a few times ticking off the the easier vs's and hvs's we went back and i led suspense and billy whizz camped the night there and the next day did Great North Rd and and Regent Street over the road at Millstone, some of the best days of my life pure grit climbing, camping out with a fire few spliffs few beers great mates, leave no rubbish or any sign we had been therre and just solid climbing, im 53 now kids family etc and dont quiite have the freedom to be that active, but get on it for those that can, and congratulations on your success hope you have many more

Good job, not the sort of climb you want to be sketching out on though and didn't look in the bag. Good work powering through despite it.

That's a lot of mats = not E6

Why are you doing this without gear again? Never understand the soloing stuff. Specialty chalk, shoes, and a helmet are ok, but a rope isn't? Classic Darwin award material, and a burden on others should he fail... (people talk about managed risk, but the risks are higher aren't they?)

Jim Curran recalled doing the route with Don Whillans. Having ab'd down they found a team already on the first pitch and the leader was in trouble. The second recognised Don and nervously called up "Can you hurry up? There's others waiting?" Not looking down the leader in extremis shouted back "Tell them to piss off!!!" "You wouldn't say that if you knew who it is." Fortunately Don was in a good mood and the leaders efforts amused him : "Up and down like a bride's nightie!" Eventually both teams finished the climb without further incident and Don insisted on going straight to a pub "I've got a morbid fear of dehydration!"

It’s like the climbing morecome and wise

Fun day!

Excellent work, what a cool challenge 😎

0:50 OMG clean your own boots Princess!

It is refreshing to see ordinary people having fun on ordinary routes like I used to climb. Watching the super athletes hanging upside down on one finger get tedious after a while and very possibly puts some people off climbing as most of us never reach those extremes.

Wow. A lesson in how to turn a safe but hard E5 into a ground fall potential E6!

I saw the very same seal on monday 😆

Nice send. How tall is Tom?

Beautifully climbed

I remembered it well it was 90s when I did it - loved the moves- thanks for posting the video brought back some fond memories & WELL DONE !!! 😊

Looks really realistic.

Did this the day after doing long John's slab. Once on a top rope then solo. Great routes

Gullich. took a grounder on that one.

"His first taste of the E grades"? Is Leo some hot shot foreign climber who just hasn't climbed the grade in the UK but can solo, say 5.12 in the US? If not, if Leo is a UK climber and you're saying he's never climbed above HVS and then he solos a delicate, complex E4 6a I'm calling BOLLOX.

Nice moves! A bit slippy at the top? Nerve wracking watching!

What’s the piece of gear protecting the jump? Bomber?

I did the Pool Wall and nearly messed up moving past the peg on Suspense! 🤣

Good one youth

What a day out! Cool to go back to the climbs I've done in the past, thanks! Can't wait to get to the Peaks this year.

😍😍

So sound

Good effort guys!

That's one nimble hippo, what a send!

Awesome video lads! Beautiful climbing to watch. Crazy levels of head game to be solo'ing, respect

Good effort but this is yoyo not g up

sweet job dude :)

Nice m8 💪

Streach and mantel is so different for the short except maybe the mantel is easier for some reason

Onsight soloed this in 1997 🙋

One of my favourite E1s

I'm interested in watching some great leads and solos which are from my generation and later...there are some great climbers, young guys in fact who do not appear to understand fear..long may they remain safe...the stuff they do was seen and walked past in my time...amazing lines indeed...Racer was good for its era as was Pete...

In 1986 Ron Fawcett climbed over 100 gritstone Extremes solo in one day, accompanied by journalist John Woodhouse who photographed him swinging one handed off the crux of Elder Crack. .

what a nonsense, one mistake and that was it

Shame you didn't do P1 of DoWH. I find it adds a lot to the overall experience.

Scary and beatuiful rock but pretty awful climbing move to be honest. The full body rubbing on the wall after the dyno does not look fun at all. Nice filming though.

I soloed this when I was a lad! 😆

You guys are awesome! So #WHAM #BAM

What’s up guys! Looking sexy!

What’s up guys! Great stuff.
