    The emotional confusion of Wedge on a rainy rest day. It's so cozy, yet worringly psych-inducing.

      I never know whether to save them for a rest day to keep me motivated or watch them on a project day to help me try hard.

    As an American, I just can't get over how polite you all sound. Even when he was at his wit's end he still sounds so lovely.

    Jesus christ shadow women is the most brutal battle of a boulder I've ever seen. Unreal. Aiden is a beast.

    Very relatable to hear Sam say “I’m over it” after battling the whole session, and then still pulling it together to send a hard line. Legend.
    The highlight though was Aidan’s FA of Shadow Women. What a show of body tension on mingin’ holds. Always so impressive. Do we know how long he’d been eyeing off that extension?
    Cheers for the great content as always.

    If you’re keen on some hard trad. There’s the (as I understand it) unclimbed soaring arete feature above the Cumbrian on Esk Buttress. Even as a top rope project as per Wizard’s Ridge this would be a great accomplishment 👍💯

    Edit whilst watching: Dalt Wood Roof! That’s near the grange campsite near the bowderstone? me and my pal stay there when we make out annual pilgrimage to see if we’re still weaklings. Legit thought it was called “Dat Wood Boulder” on UKC

    Why not just use like an angle grinder/chisel and some drills to create ur own lines on the boulders? like if something is missing etc or feels like it should be added and that change turns it from impossible to possible/very fun? just a crimp. pocket or w/e? sure dont ruin someone elses, but if youre finding or trying to create new ones why not, its just boulders after all youre not destroying a mountain..

      I’m a sense the rock is everyone’s so you are ruining it for the next gen of freaks that could get it done. Way too many rocks out there to start destroying routes so you can tick it off.
