Thanks for that Marina. Yes, it's a great climb and I've never seen anyone climb it. Hargreaves Original is another awesome slab very nearby and a great warm up for Cold Turkey. Doing both would add to a great day of climbing. I like your channel by BTW, we have very similar interests. Keep it up :-)
@@Green_Monkey_Footprints I remember a colleague telling me Hargreaves Original was really easy and not to worry about it---I made sure he understood it's wrong to mislead friends when he was in his Kayak thinking Cobdens was only G2----we used to work at Stanage all summer and only ever saw a few people climb 'your' route-you made it look easy.
@teddyboy228 Thanks for watching! I totally agree. Climbing is loads of fun, but let's face it, it's also dangerous and the risk has to be managed. I certainly wouldn't say Hargreaves Original is easy, but it is easier than Cold Turkey. Its a similar style and well protected so therefore its a good place to start if you are thinking of climbing Cold Turkey. If you struggle on Hargreaves, then it's best to leave Cold Turkey for another day I would suggest. Both brilliant routes but neither of them are easy in my opinion and I didnt suggest otherwise. Thanks for your comment, i hope more people read it 👍
yellow cam placement 2/3 up does look good to me (only half the cam lobe touching right on edge of upper rock) - looks better a foot to right and possibly to the left out of shot. Great route and I'm sure there is better protection in that crack. Red one that follows also not great but maybe that's all there was.
@timtett1307 Yellow cam would hold body weight, but not a fall. It's not good. Further right is drifting off route a bit. Further left the crack gets worse for placements. Trust me on this one. The red cam further up may not look good, but it's bomber. I'd definitely trust it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Really appreciate it 👍
Hi Edward. I've had some bad wrist injuries in the past, so I tape them up for some extra support and confidence. I find Gritstone sloppers heavy going on the wrist and the tape really helps. Thanks for watching!
Cool video! That looks like a fun route, will definitely have to give that a try. I do love a good slab :D

What's the purpose of the heavy wrist taping??
