I'll admit I watched a few videos of these guys thinking they were just two entertaining personalities that liked to climb around in their basement, it was a while before I stumbled across the century crack and their other feats and realized they were famous, world-class climbers. They are so funny and laid back you'd never guess what they've accomplished if you didn't know
You guys need a Patreon account, so us non-climbers can support your content. I love your videos, and I'm never going to need to buy a volume. This level of entertainment deserves support though!
I've been absolutely addicted to your videos for about 4 weeks now despite having no climbing experience, and claustrophobia that is activated everytime i imagine myself doing what yous do. Yous are just so damn fun, laidback and entertaining. And BEASTS at climbing
I said it not too long ago and I’ll say it again: I can’t stop smiling when I’m watching your videos. What a perfect way to end a Sunday and take away the Monday blues for a few minutes. Keep up the awesome work guys.
I love you guys. I wish you'd give us a glimpse at those profane inspirational messages scrawled in the cellar. Those made me laugh out loud the first time I saw them.
yeh pretty sure there are some more of those int he films Wide Boyz I and Wide Boyz II by Hot Aches Productions. maybe next time we're both down there we'll run through them all
Great Historical contents. Are you going to start doing some core & chicken wing workouts ready for next year's strictly come dancing ? 😂 Really enjoyed it. For the algorithm really, as usual
Another great video! I have a question to you guys (i also posted it on the Lattice video). I am learning finger cracks amd noticed that in some cases there are moments when most of my body weight has to be supported only by fingerlocks (i guess you'd prolly find foot placements, but i fail to do so). Would it be in any way beneficial for me to install a fingercrack hold in my basement to just hang off of it on fingerlocks? What i mean is a sort of "fingerboard" for fingerlocks.
when we have been training for finger locks, we have actually done finger stack training when fingerbaording, rather than fingerlock fingerboarding. The reason being is finger locks can be quite brutal on the ligaments. how we've done it is use vertical pockets and stacked fingers on top of each other (rather than next to each other) in the pocket. This builds strength in the tendons whilst replicating a simialr position to finger jamming, whilst doesn't totally knacker the ligaments.
yes its possible to stack arm bar and fist. but usually and an armbar with your other hand on the edge of the crack is satisfactory. there are no rules though, so you can just get stacking whatever you want :)
it depends on what we were training for. since then if training core we have gone for a slightly higher intensity approach, just due to the fact that it has been more applicable to our goals. however if we were to climb an offwidth like Century Crack again we'd take a volume approach. we just always link it to the end goal
yes we should do this. although i thin kthe cobra crack simulator has either been burnt or adapted into something else, as I've no idea where that thing is, haha
@@sebastianflynn1746 i'm pretty sure we adapted the cobra crack replica into the thin hands arch which is currently there. i have a felling that might be where it has gone...
I really want to do something like this at my place. the landlord would probably shit himself if he saw 2x6's bolted to the ceiling though. The pains of being a crack addict
Haha that's abit of insulation that's fallen out from between the beams. There probably are some dodgy stains on those mattresses tho, I've no idea where some have even come from...
we always have motivational messages on the training devices. Stick it Didier is from the film First Ascent where Sonnie and Didier are going fo the first ascent of Cobra Crack. The writing is actually on a finger crack trainer we have next to the hastonater which we were using to train on when training for Cobra Crack back in 2013 :)

I love the potential use of the phrase "V2 in Tom's cellar"
nothing goes above V8 down there... haha

"You're in"
"You're out"
That whole "The Hastonater" section had me dying of laughter! Always great stuff guys!
haha, yes we thought it was pretty funny as well! and tricky!
"Fuck the pain. One more lap" is an awesome motto for life

great stuff thanks very much for watching :) and glad you are enjoying the vids
You guys are so nutty, this all looks crazy hard. Freaking v2..
It certainly felt more tricky when we were out of practice!
That was really cool to see you guys explaining the training and at the same time being humbled by it.
Damn younger selves...
Great video 🤙
The main thing was the feet and the ankles in the upside-down offwidth, totally not used to that these days...
Plus the power on the armbars!
“Fuck the pain. One more lap”
I love it.
Really enjoy your content guys, helpful and entertaining in equal measure. Can we expect 'crack on crack' to appear in Crack Climbing Vol 2?!
hahaa, yeh maybe crack on crack will appear along with some other bizzare things we'll probably think up in the meantime!!
Best crack den ever! Canne wait to see Ondra take his 1st drag! Deffo get him in the machine too, it'll be machine vs machine 😎😁😁😁
machine v machine, haha. thats defo what it would be. i reckon the second machine would win
Watching the armbar section made my day haha
definition of crackheads in the best way possible
good to hear, thanks for watching. it made our day getting back on it after so long away from it!!
Good tour for Adam next episode
haha, he's too busy with perfecto mundo, plus were going into lockdown...I think its over for this year

How huge is this cellar :D it's so big that it has multiple rooms and even sheds in it!
I think it basically covers the whole of Sheffield
haha its an underground maze. I think there are 5 main rooms, plus some shitty smaller ones which you couldn't really put cracks in...
That was excellent! So good to see the vintage gear and you guys pull some Try Faces. 💪😖
thanks for watching. always get the try hard faces out :D
Awesome video. If I may ask, what are your favorite attributes of a good shoe for inverts?
I can barely do v3s and I can tell you now I think I hate cracks as much as magnus I could never do that lol
magnus loved it. we'll have him doing it again no doubt. I have some ideas for him ;)
@@WideBoyz coming back to this video, I can do v5s, and I love crack climbing haha - you've changed me!
The kneebar situp "machine" looks like a good time haha
that thing was a favourite back in the day, not so sure anymore though...
Amazing video, my favourite reel rock is yer one. Production was very good too. Epic
thanks :)
The sandbags are used to keep the cellar from flooding
luckily we don't get any floods down there. they are made to make it feel more desert like for when we head to Moab for the real cracks ;)
Great Historical contents.

Oooo yep! 💪💪
Another great video :) Making my day as usual.
thank you :)
Love the content!
thank you
So, you guys climb V8..V10. Absolutely no chance at the arm bar, and thats a V6?
:'D #sandbagUK
cracking stuff!
excellent
curious to see how a cellar v-grade compares to a normal v, lmao. im sure your v2 is at least a fricking v8. nutters.
I know nothing about crack climbing, but couldn't you stack am elbow + fist when double fisting falls short?
yes its possible to stack arm bar and fist. but usually and an armbar with your other hand on the edge of the crack is satisfactory. there are no rules though, so you can just get stacking whatever you want :)
If you were training core now, would you take a volume approach again or a high intensity approach?
it depends on what we were training for. since then if training core we have gone for a slightly higher intensity approach, just due to the fact that it has been more applicable to our goals. however if we were to climb an offwidth like Century Crack again we'd take a volume approach. we just always link it to the end goal
FUCK THE PAIN. ONE MORE LAP.
💪💪
Reps to failure (? 5 reps in reserve?) will always get you strong just hurts loads
always max it out :D
Cobra crack training next!
yes we should do this. although i thin kthe cobra crack simulator has either been burnt or adapted into something else, as I've no idea where that thing is, haha
@@WideBoyz tragic :'(

@@WideBoyz it lives on 🎉
You guys had burger fucking hip flexors lmfao... that's metal
Cheese and bacon burger with Jack Daniels sauce, from the moab brewery hip flexors...
When are your crackgloves going to be available ?
we hope before christmas...but this is all dependant on other projects (i.e. freestanding wall), and how the final tweaks go on the gloves.
havent started yet so excited fresh tea fresh biftas fresh foootage aaarrgghh
ooo yeh, get on it
Hmmmmm taking notes my wonderful crackheads
Please do
That's gonna be my new go-to comment on belay while my partner is hustling in a crack: "But can you take your arm off???"
defintiely. do it
Pete's face when he tries the crack on crack method, priceless
crack on crack is the way forward. i'm gona take it to the field :)
Reversion to mortality. You can have that as a project name.
New crack in crack technique 😂😂
forging the way with new techniques. paddles, flipperoos and now crack on crack, haha
That photo of Pete at 12:52 looks so nice! Anyone knows where I could get a print of it?
haha, you defo don't want a print of that thing, its blummin awful
I really want to do something like this at my place. the landlord would probably shit himself if he saw 2x6's bolted to the ceiling though. The pains of being a crack addict
Properly dodgy mattress stain at 5:50
Haha that's abit of insulation that's fallen out from between the beams.
There probably are some dodgy stains on those mattresses tho, I've no idea where some have even come from...
@@WideBoyz haha well even if it was I’d just assumed you must have picked up dumped mattresses seeings there are so many down there
V2 in my cellar... yeah nooooooooo
haha
but what is the O level????
What’s the story behind the “stick it didier” graffiti on the hastonator?
we always have motivational messages on the training devices. Stick it Didier is from the film First Ascent where Sonnie and Didier are going fo the first ascent of Cobra Crack. The writing is actually on a finger crack trainer we have next to the hastonater which we were using to train on when training for Cobra Crack back in 2013 :)
@@WideBoyz that’s awesome. Thanks for taking the time to reply
New UP shoes????
Yes Tom has some new UP shoes. protos
