The bag hits the rock from like 10 metres up and pete is sincerely like 'wasnt that bad' 😂 got to love the cajones on that man
I'm actually not a fan of that attitude. There are just so many dead or crippled; it leaves a weird taste in my mouth, so to speak.
@@jakobbauzdon’t do the climb in that case 😊
@@Oliverjckson I'm not saying that folks shouldn't do that climb(?), I'm saying that I don't like this attitude to make light of a ten meter fall on solid rock. So I don't really see why you're cautioning me against doing it..? I mean I can't; that climb is a little above my pay grade. But I think I would give it a go if I was strong enough to feel secure, why not.
A great belayer could probably take in maybe a meter of additional slack in the time it takes to fall. Would still hit the ground. But the rope would be stretched and the speed heavily reduced.
Even with no belayer, as in the test, the rope was fully stretched. Which implies that the speed at which it crashed would have been reduced.
I don't want to be a grammar nazi or something like that but I want you to know that:
-cojones = being brave (slang for "testicles")
-cajones = drawers (furniture)
Pete won't remember this but I had the rare privilege of witnessing Pete's ascents of Braille Trail and Dynamics of Change. I still don't think I've seen a move as wild as that rockover. On Braille Trail he had his mum belaying, and he was on his GCSE study leave. I think he told us he'd borrowed the gear from Outside, one of the pieces was a spanner, and when he couldn't get it in the slot he threw it away, and almost hit his mum! Amazing to see where he's taken that motivation over the years.
Were you one of the guys on Burbage South boulders when I did Dynamics?
@@WideBoyz that's the one
Your comment gave me the biggest laugh of the whole video 🤣
Wow, and my Mum won't even look at pictures of me climbing
@@davidpleydell3522ditto!
I really like this...do we say camera work? I don't know. But you have a go-pro in hand showing us the holds. Then we have a wide shot from the camera man. And drone footage. This is very well done and it's really pulled me into what was happening.
This egg test is peak content
This literally was Peak content
Did the E stand for Egg all along?
I appreciate how you look back at your reckless phase skeptically. Many extreme atheletes don't realize how lucky they are to not have been debilitated away from their career dreams. They wind up making their recklessness seem like their X factor, rather than the real X factor, which is discipline and respect for your own limits.
The prefrontal cortex matures from teens until around age of 25. Until then, we assess risks somewhat like a teenager still.
I'm relieved you got through that period uninjured too !
This is absolute gold Pete. It's actually really interesting how hard these routes actually are. I'd wondered which way it was going to go, but couldn't call it before watching. Inspiring to see that they've stood the test of time and are still really bloody difficult (and not entirely safe, unless you're an egg on Dynamics of Change - in which case you're fine) 😂
top rope top rope top rope top rope top rope haha that original ascent was so good great to see you back on an old climb i thought about this route recently and wondered if anyone had repeated it, that rock over still looks desperate just eggcellent!
Dynamics of Change has been repeated once by local legend Nige Kershaw. Bigger Baron hasn't been repeated
"The head is fine... the legs are broken." Real Attenborough vibes 🙌
"I'm not quite sure what would happen to you" is such an omen 😂
Don't mess with grit!
8:29 the realisation of mortaility as you get older in full effect there!
Whenn Pete opened the box, I genuinely heard: "I wasn't egg-specting that" :D
I wasn’t eggspecting that either 👀
I’d have broken the egg on the way to the crag!
Great vid buddy 🤗
😂 that’s why I never tried dynamics in the end. I fell off the braille trail move allot, could never quite get it wired enough to go for it. As I’ve always said, legend for doing it and amazing route.
Hope you're doing well Rich 👍
Yes, back in the grid. Love it. Please more videos. So good.
I never realised that the "E" stood for Egg! You learn something new everyday :)
Absolutely loved watching this! Dynamics of change is still one of my favourite hard climbing videos and it was great to see you grimacing your way through it once again!!
For my money it is the best bit of rock climbing ever filmed in the entire history of the sport. How can any sport climbing footage hope to compete?
More climbing from egg please!
Am I the only one who thought the egg was "mullered"?! 😂
I'd never like to take that fall. Leg crusher.
Wondeful video as alway lads.
Insanely hard climb. World class stuff. Well done Pete.
Give the people what they want! What they want is more hard and scary trad! Love this style of video.
Little brucey bonus shot of the broken parthian hold @13:35 👀
Have you heard anything of when/how that happened remus?
@@WideBoyz it was some time before Jacopo's recent ascent but other than that Im not sure. Would be interested to find out the story if you hear anything else about it.
@@RemusKnowles Come on; we all know that Pete actually did Dynamics in tricounis and it was his flailing right foot wot did it! I jest, of course, and was going to say that in nails it would have been beyond impressive, albeit a bit scratchy - until I remembered that it was already 'beyond impressive' in green Anasazi lace-ups.
huh so the E in the grading system is short for Egg... Very educational
Pete's head 2, aka Pete's dinner didn't break....but I think the legs would get a bashing...! Ballsy, Young Pete!
I laughed way too hard at Pete's broken Egg Head. Great video! Great "science "!
Great video. Good to hear about your earlier accents given the internet want around when they were done v really interesting. Do some more!
New t shirt design looks awesome!
Flippin awesome!
Can't wait to see you try this again in a decade
Really enjoyed this one!
What an amazing watch!
Oh no his lunch it’s broken😅
"This is making really good sense to me right now" 😂
I watched that gritstone suction noise bit like 8 times
😂😂
Nice climbs & like a bit of bag science 👍
Eggy 2 was surprised it survived (scrambled, boiled or fryed ? 😀)
For the algorithm really
Love this video
Just to clarify, Pete are you saying you'd never attempt to headpoint these routes again? Or other routes with similar risk? Sounds sensible Im just wondering more about how your mentality has changed over the years
I would also be very interested in some sort of "chronology of your mentality" in terms of risks, the sport itself, etc.
I'd never headpoint dangerous routes I've done in the past, I'd rather put my mental energy into other things.
I would do hard grit routes again,but only if the motivation is there. Currently I have no motivation for it.
I have never considered myself as a risky climber,but I am a climber who has done highly dangerous things. I would still do a dangerous objective if the motivation was there and I could manage the risk to a level I'm now comfortable with.
Back in 2020 i free soloed Kjerag (5 years after stopping all the hard/dangerous grit routes),a highly dangerous thing to do, but the level of risk involved was actually very low.
Note: dangerous and risk are not the same.
Hopefully that answers some questions 👍
"the head is fine, the legs are broken" sick
really enjoyed that
new way to grade climbs, the egg test 🤣
Great video. Love the idea of revisiting your old routes.
Niche question, but what rucksack is that?
patagonia cragsmith
I'd love to see Pete testing his grip strength against Schoolboy the arm wrestler - be great to see him on the channel. And Magnus' channel too.
His grip is insane for a guy his size.
Would be a lovely collab.
Done plenty of videos with magnus. Check out his Wide Boyz Playlist 👍
@@WideBoyz Yeah seen them all! Haha.
Great video!
I'm glad you guys aren't engineers designing helmets, though. 😂
Petes face in the thumbnail 😂
At first I thought the thumbnail was some crazy good midjourney work 😂
I always knew the 'E' in the grading system stood for Egg
Thanks!
Thank you 😎
I'm so happy for Pete's head 2
Love the solid science💪🙌😅
I think the first drop hit the side of the bag so had no padding. The second hit the bottom with a lot more padding.
Great video! What device were you using to top rope solo at around 5.30?
Grigri
2nd route is amazing
14:40 you originally had your feet much lower for the dyno in the old clips, so it meant you had to go less distance
The drop test was on the wrong kind of route and a pristine chance for a "this is your brain on crack" quip has now been missed.
I've got one burning question watching these solo climbs: how do you anchor your rope at the top?
Now for the most important question?
What do you think, would be the "O-Grades" for these routes?
how does the egg test fit in with Tom's new e-grader system?
I had no idea your route , Braille trail and Parthian shot were on the same crag so cool
Many great routes at Burbage South
Is that a grigri with rolling knot on TR?
"the egg is fine. the legs are broken" - famous words of an eggphilic person before an unfortunate accident
Humpty Dumpty really shouldn't have taken to rock climbing.
did you do those both ground up back in the day Pete?
If the bolts are already there, would it be unethical to replace them?
In the grit world, usually yes. You can get away with it in the Lancashire quarried grit somewhat but not on the natural edges. Once it's gone, it's gone.
Did modern climbing shoes make the footwork any easier.
Was it miles from tree fellas that gave you a rollicking for doing the e9 start ?
One is more Egg-streme than the other!
‘I wasn’t eggspecting that’
You would be surprised how a solid injury can slow you down a bit.
"Pete's Brain". Was that actual size?
fantastic climber! does. the uk proud with his good attitude and bodacious accents.
Doubt it 😮
Cracking! 😂
Which climbing shoes is he wearing (e.g. at 4:05)?
Looks like Unparallel Up Rise
Pete wasn't eggspecting that
Toprope toprope toperoooope. They never found the body of the guy who put those bolts in Wimbery.
That thumbnail though, lmao.
Just curious why use a gri gri original for working the route?
I've always used a gri gri for working routes and can't find my gri gri 2.
So the E in grading stands for "egg"... Who knew!
The brain isn't totally loose in the skull like the egg in the tupperware😊
Can anyone see exactly which device he was using when working the tr? Looks a little like a ropeman.
Nvm found a closeup. I can't believe its a grigri hahahahahaha. Pete sure is ballsy. At least I finally found his stopper knot. Makes me feel better.
Whats for dinner? Pete's head #2.
Sad; the shirt pete os wearing is allready out of stock in XL. Will it come back?
Yes it will be back in stock soon
Yes it will be back in stock soon
We now know what the E stands for
Why use a Grigri to TR Solo? Is it for ease for setup? Surely you have a micro-trax, ascender, maybe even some fancy Rock Exocita...I'm just getting into TR soloing and trying to dial in my setup, using a grigri seems like a lot of extra work, and I'm concerned about shock loading it in a fall scenario where I haven't taken up slack in awhile. Great vid, watching you rework moves from your super-psyched 17 year old self really resonated with me. Cheers!
I've always used a gri gri for practicing moves on hard grit routes. If you can do the moves taking in as you go, leading always feels easier 😉
It's also useful for going up and down quickly
Ya gotta get on ned zepplin for a second ascent petey boy
Let's gooo :D
I wasn't eggspecting that actually...
21:13 bruh yesterday i went out in the mountains, alone and climbed on a multipitch hat had only bolts like that but rusty the screw was lose on most of theme
epic day i have to go back to finish the route i got freaked out after some big ass runout and decided to bail at the anchor
0:12 OK zohan
lol why did you expect the egg to survive? it had a LOT of travel in that plastic case. Your brain doesn't have like 10cm to accelerate towards your skull
Wasn't eggspecting that
I like trains...
Steam trains 🚂 poop poop
what device do you use to toprope-belay yourself?
E10 deez nuts, got em
Is that an iPhone 4
I realise you're tongue in cheek, but in seriousness, I think if you'd landed on your ass on the rock from Dynamics of Change, your spinal cord would be utterly destroyed. It'd be great to think "a good belayer would keep you off the floor", but it's asking a lot of them to keep you from worse than merely shattered legs. Nice to see more of these infamous climbs..!
Wasn't that bad??!! WTF LOL :D
Pete is 37!? He looks younger
nice math
@@EthanSchultz-jn8cx I realised he is actually 27 in the end of the video
32 according to his Wiki page
@@boogaloo4640 32!? He looks much older
