"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.
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...
If this is your first E grade climb, you are mad good (in control the entire way) and (in the nicest way) even more mad for sending it without gear haha well done on a class send! :)
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?)
Don't like it, don't watch. It's a soloist's choice what they try, not yours, and its frankly condescending for you to assume they don't know the risks involved.
Nicely executed. I soloed this one many many years ago. Feels great when you’re absolutely in control!
Beautifully controlled movement. Great to watch. What was the purpose of the helmet? To keep his head warm...?
0:50 OMG clean your own boots Princess!
Awesome video lads! Beautiful climbing to watch. Crazy levels of head game to be solo'ing, respect
Great climbing. Brave to solo it. I don’t think I would have done that. 👍🏻
Beautifully climbed
Did this the day after doing long John's slab. Once on a top rope then solo. Great routes

Beautiful line 😁
Looks really realistic.
Good one youth
Great solo executed with style and confidence...

A stunning line for sure. It's an elusive headspace and complicated motivation that I don't think anyone ever gets to the bottom of
Bancroft and I abseiled this line before Livesey got to it. It was then much harder than E4. But yes, Livesey was a great climber.

Cheers pal!
Nice send! One of my dream routes.
Thanks :) really is a brilliant route! Hope you can find the time to enjoy it!

There are no gear placements on this route.
@@lucacycles8623 So, like I say, shoes, chalk, helmet are ok, but a top rope isn't?
@@CCDR07you may have missed the point ! 😂
Just because you aren't up to it, doesn't mean others aren't
what a nonsense, one mistake and that was it
