Just to confirm...the video is true. I'm sat here now mid training set (rest period) answering your comments 😉
Hah that’s pretty hardcore 😄
4am alarm clock? You gotta be mental! 🤨😂💪. Legend!!! Descale your kattle mate otherwise there will be no more Chaaa 😂👍
Haha have fun tho ;)
@@perzoorgasmatron4914 strangely the clock said ten to eight, must not have put it back to British summer time 😂
@@dave_h_8742 😂💪
I'm lowkey fascinated with this guy, the way he approaches everything he does, the spark in his eyes while he's looking at a climbing wall, his laugh, just all the power this man has. We love you Pete!
The power of positivity is named Pete :D
Pete, if you split the soreen lengthways you will end up with two long pieces of crust. Hope this helps
Today I discovered that I have the same backpack as Pete and also climb cracks. We're like the same person except I climb cracks much worse. But I like to think I wear the backpack better so it sort of evens out.
What Backpack is it?
Pete: "When you do that make sure to put some sound effects on it. It will make it look cool"
Editor: "yes"
Watched Reel Rock 16 last night. The charisma and devotion of the Wide Boyz is an electric watch.
maaaan give us the account pleaaase ahahaha
Glad you enjoyed reel rock 👍
That $90 subscription though...
@@danieljensen2626 can't afford it hope it's on DVD soon.
It's so weird to be a fan of Pete's in Canada and now I have moved to Lincoln for school. I go to Sheffield and the Peak District all the time to climb and am starting to recognize some of the shots in the video. Hope to see you around Pete! Love the content.
Say hi if we bump into each other
he seems friendly & doesn't bite much, though it's scary and weard to meet a TH-cam superstar 😂
Nice Alex!! If you ever want to climb at rock city in hull give me a shout 😄 it’s soooo good there!
@@WideBoyz Have you done the Monument Crack 5.12d roof crack in Ontario?
I'm currently injured and can't climb so these vids are as close as I can get to the real thing for now. Really cool to see what a day in the life looks like, and that triple green looked absolutely brutal. Looking forward to the America vids!
ah look, another injured one who then resorts to watching videos ha. wishing you a speedy recovery!
Hope it helps, I'm injuried from a week ago and yesterday did my first injuried "climbing" session. In my case, everything can be improved, other areas to work on.
I have never climbed anything and have no plans to climb anything and yet I keep watching all these videos.
Wow, really excited for the panels! Hopefully my gym will buy them. Or if the price is reasonable, maybe some people at my gym and me will just buy them for the gym (not gonna tell the gym that beforehand though ;) )
We're still working on some things with them. So they will be a little bit more time. 👍
Today I used a crack technique for a boulder for the first time. It was an unpopular way to start but the beta spread in the bouldering gym and suddenly others went for it as well. It hurts the arm but has a 100 percent success rate. No send though, there was a nasty bit of shouldering right before the top. :(
Cannot wait to see the new adjustable crack training machine, one could say I am… speacyed.
😂
I love how Pete is super cheeky in these vids he seems like a super genuine guy.
I've been trying to get into crack climbing more and more and it's entirely because of the Wideboys. The gyms in my town in Australia dont really set crack problems or incorporate cracks in any meaningful way in setting.
I love that holding on to a hold with a bicep curl is considered a 'rest'. Another great video lads, looking forward to more.
I admire how dedicated you are to living the rock climbing life. Brilliant!!!
Love your B roll action editing! Top notch. Thanks for showing behind the scenes and all of the secret projects in the back room :D
thanks for watching :)
really love the editing and the vibe of this video. Keep it up, love all your content
🤘🤘
Nice one wide boyz! Good to get to know you and your biz a bit better. Cheers!
Great editing! I can see how many hours went into that, with the camera angles and so on.. Keep it up!
Really cool glimpse of your training. Also going to have to add rests to my training! It was one of the 'O Dog's' tips too.
the edgar wright-esque editing is sending me lmao
"Morrisons is a UK shop, they make everything up market, boutique"
Perfect deadpan delivery Pete
Totally unrelated to climbing, but good job on using the lavalier mic without picking up scratches or rumbles. People struggle with that in productions that involve far less physical activity, so big props.
Dude!
I met your parents recently in Leonidio…climbed next to them two separate days.
They were super cool and delightful!!!!
I’m so glad that your dearest mother told me who her son was
LOVE your videos!
Hope you guys are ok and got back to the USA safe and sound. Hope to bump into you again sometime 😊
@@jillwhittaker3880 ME TOO JILL!!!
The spray wall at the end is awesome. Watching Pete send the gnar on it is awesomer.
The exclusive stuff at 9:15 is a portable, adjustable crack trainer. Sorry to say it, but I saw it hanging from a bar in another video from the WB/Lattice gym.
Top notch editing and a cool insight, thanks!
☺️☺️
I love the editing Pete, getting better and better every video!
🤘👍🙏
This was Pete the cameramans edit (Just to confirm 👍)
'Two' many Pete's round here
@@WideBoyz Nah, we can never get enough Pete.
The dramatical editing was great, specially for the tea making part
Loving the cup of tea cinematic
With the editing, it's like I'm watching Edgar Wright solo up the crag 😂
You guys keep it real, and i love that. You've really stoked a fire in me to try more crack techniques in the last several months. I love the technical aspect combined with the grueling pain of it haha. Keep it up.~regards from Pittsburgh, PA
Great to hear!
Awesome video! Looking forward to next weekend!
I presume you mean Crack Fest :D
we're all psyched for it!!
Loved the action movie editing scenes
bro thank u for this its scratching an itch i didnt know i wanted scratched
Excellent video brother!
Good effort, Smashed it.
that 2 second epic music gets me every time!
Hey Pete 👋 there's a lot of gems in this video, just hope you know that I've had some training benefits and a better social/family life after making changes directly owing to your video. Thanks. (Written during a break / training)
Pro snacker tip. If you slice the Soreen loaf thingy in the other direction, you get longer end bits ! OMG
Genius
Hi Pete. Have a good day today mate 👍 enjoyed the editing style on this one. Gave me shaun of the dead vibes
Yes!!!! Shaun of the dead was glorious
Thanks for the video :) Such a legend and a joy to watch. See that? I'm a Canadian getting the Brit lingo down from watching your videos. I better get back to climbing in my garage and smash on! ;)
Loved this video!
Thanks for sharing, Pete (x2)!! Your life seems pretty damn sweet. Makes me reconsider if I want to finish my PhD, or find a way to be a working full-time climber.. sigh! I can dream I guess.
Such passion for Soreen. Great to see.
Pete's acting keeps on improving!
OMG these cuts are killing me! This editing is brilliant! Reminds me of Simon Pegg/Nick Frost
Pete and I based them all on Edgar Wrights editing from the Shawn of the dead 🤘🤘🤘
@@sessionmediaa your killing it, so good !
@@sessionmediaa I knew it! All time favorite. I love how they played around with zombies in an episode of Spaced years before. And the cameo Easter egg of Tyres in the zombie mob outside the pub in Shawn of the dead.
@@JT-tz5hp I bloody love it. Spaced was one of my all time favourites. And Big Train!
17:03 They should cook malt loaf in slices, you'd get more squidgy bit!
3:00 that's a cool volkswagen van on the background!
You can buy mini soreen multipacks which are designed to go in lunch boxes. I think they are individually baked so they are kind of all double end bits. Though more plastic and you'd probably need a few to count as a proper snack
Loved the Vlog style ❤
Glad you liked it!!
Congrats, that's all very impressive!
When is the O-dog going to take a break from Arco for some crack cellar challenges? Fun video, Pete.
Really enjoyed this
Oh wow, I had seen about the Reel Rock film, but I had no idea it was on the bridge going right past my village ahah!
I'm amazed at how quiet the climbing works is at what looks like peak time.
It was reasonably quiet that evening, but we were in the corner on the circuit board which is generally a bit quieter, and I specifically told Pete (cameraman) to try and keep others out of shot as much as possible (Just for other people's privacy) 👍
Got my first pair of climbing shoes today! - inspired by the Wide Boyz and Magnus to get more into climbing. Thanks for doing what you do! I hope I find some cracks in my climbing gym ;)
Also, I definitely think you're gonna get a lot more comments after showing us that you read/answer them haha
Yes I read pretty much every comment :)
@Tributary House Ltd. unfortunately it isn't a realistic goal, nor would i like to try. Neither myself, Magnus nor Anton have the experience for this. Rock climbing and mountaineering is like comparing down hill moutain biking and veladrome cycling 🙂
9:05 outdoor crack crag warmup (like a hangboard for outdoor warmup)
I've just tried Soreen because of this video. It's absolutely amazing! Thank you for introducing this to my life.
Oh hi, 😀 great start to a funny vid. Interesting unboxing. Great you've got XL crack gloves (should have seen what size your mitts were at Stockport to gauge the size) prefer the understated hoodie as i don't like to draw attention 😉 great sesh outdoors and in. Grough mountain rescue page had a lone climber fall in the peaks & thought it was where you've climbed in an old vid.
Was that yellow a lime green colour before you did the proper forrest green round or is it a colour resolution thang ?
I think its a yellow/green colour thing. some people say yellow, some say green! I know me and tom have had this discussion with some colours of ropes in the past
dude I’m so speayced I got to see all of this
So stoked on all the America stuff. Hope you guys filmed a lot!
Two videos already released from America. 5 more to edit 👍
Best TH-cam Channel for me ❤️
That was good to watch buddy. The apple made me giggle :) Seeing your fibreglass holds reminded me of when I used to be a fibreglasser, used to really enjoy doing that :) Love watching your vids, keep up the good work 🤗
Wish I'd known that! Could have done with someone fibreglass contacts about 6 months ago 😅
Hope you're well Ger
@@WideBoyz haha oh well it’s there for the future if needed :) I’m all good thanks buddy, and I can see you are too which always makes me happy 😊
Ooh, tea montage!
Another solid vid! Loved how we can't really tell if you've not prepared for showing us around the shop or if you think it would be funny if you seemed unprepared to show us around the shop.
Love the vid. Please can you try and do sound leveling, my ears were hurting in the transition sound xD
Crazy to see you in a coat in the gym. The AC hasn’t been keeping up in mine this summer and it’s like 80F/27C some days
Meanwhile, I’m imagining that Tom is spending the day somehow fallen asleep while hand jamming. Like a weird British human/sloth dangling in his enclosure the top secret Wide Boyz crack dungeon…
I loved the little Edgar Wright edits
YES!!!!! I’m so glad you got them and liked them!
This video somehow got me drooling over Soreen loaf... Going to the shops right now to buy some
I could do with more silent pov style climbing. Very relaxing to watch!
That suspiciously looked like a crag hangboard crack
Nice life! Office, crag, gym in the same day would be a dream come true 😯
You can get the mini soreens if you want to increase the crust surface area to volume ratio of soreen. I reckon not as good as the big loafs though.
Ever thought about coming to Rio de Janeiro? Lots of urban climbing routes all over town.
Saw you at The Depot today setting up the holds for Crack Fest, I was too late to get tickets unfortunately but the routes look very fun, hope it all goes well!
Thanks
Morrisons- upmarket and boutique 😂 hilarious
I like the transition edits, very Shaun of the Dead. A serious cup of tea ☕️
Is there another type of tea?!😂
Very interesting, and thanks for the look into your life. Do you sometimes feel too much drawn into the electronic metaverse of social media?
Hey Pete, how do you find and choose your next climbing project or goal?
Love the video!
Comes down to motivation and what style of climbing I'm into, this dictates roughly what I'm keen for. Then seeing photos, discussing with climbing partners, etc makes the trip or goal abit more specific 👍
Great editing and video! Gives me a "Shaun of the Dead" feel the way the video was edited 😅
Love your guys videos, its impressive to see the level of efficiency you live at.
Is it exhausting maintaining that level of productivity, or have you just kind of adjusted to it over time?
And do you take regular holidays, breaks from climbing etc?
I always say my life is both a continuous holiday and continuous work, both of them never really stop. When I'm working I'm on holiday and when I'm om holiday I'm at work. I do have periods of time when I'm doing less for the business and more climbing, and vise versa
@@WideBoyz I had a feeling this might be the case, a true man of passion!
Getting Edgar Wright vibes from the editing. Cool video.
Good effort
Hold selection at 29:04 when your left hand went to the hold above, i genuinely thought it went to the same grip and through interlacing both hands fingers, switched hand holds on the same grip in an instant. That quick.
great work, i think if you buy soreen bars they might be all crust? (like a 6pack of individual bars)
We need to have a "answering your yt comments"-video with you two on climbers crag or here! I would really enjoy it :)
Yes we have done that in the past actually 👍
I climb around in Maine. Never owned climbing shoes, or Parkour shoes. though I would like to try them.
Thanks for letting us see the “behind the scenes” Wideboyz special. If you and another run the company, what does Tom do? Is he a co-owner?
Tom is invovled, but does not run any of the day to day things as he is too busy with Lattice, etc
@@WideBoyz thank you so much for the info - makes me happy he's doing ok , almost started to get a bit worried .
17:39 till the end of the route made my heart ache for some nice flow crack. Super sick!
Just love it Pete! 🙂
Love your videos! I've been practicing my crack technique more ever since I started watching- I've been struggling with smaller cracks that I can't fit my whole hand in though, any chance you could do a video on finger cracks?
There six finger crack videos on our website. Just navigate to the 'crack school' section 🤙
For thin hands videos, They can be found in our full crack school playlist on the youtube channel
When you said there were some new designs, I dreamed for a second, that there finally will be a "Good effort" shirt / hoodie. Guess I'll have to dream for another day :'(
Still excited for the new stuff :))
Haha sorry. That will come at some point
@@WideBoyz I’m still waiting on a “no mate it’s f*cking miles away!” On a “run it out” themed shirt. Cmon Pete! Awesome content as always. Thanks for sharing what really goes in to the business and the time it takes to make it all come together
Pete is going to the states, another Pete/Magnus collab confirmed?! Also seeing Pete Climb indoors is refreshing! Love the vid.
This video was filmed before I Went to the states. I've actually been and come back. Myself Tom and Mari were there.
The video of Mari on Belly Full of Bad Berries was from that trip. Off the top of my head i think there are 5 more videos to edit and release from The States 👍
@@WideBoyz can’t wait to see the rest of the footage!
If your ever in Galway you should pop By The Galway Climbing Coop we are a tiny climbing gym in Galway Ireland, we have a few of your Crack Routes up! Love the Videos.
Magnus lives in Norway, not the US.
@@danieljensen2626 true, Magnus said in one of his recent videos that he was visiting the states so I thought Pete and Magnus might join up whilst abroad. But maybe I was wrong.
@@mattdillon8224 yer it's a timing thing I've thought that too but then I saw Prof. Tom's posts with them there already.
Thank you, a very interesting video - i'm always curios about the business behind this format. In the YT-video it looks easy and fun, but behind the scenes, you have to spend a lot of time for planning, training, editing and ... it seems like that ... driving from a to b. I wonder how much work goes into a bigger expedition/climb outside the common regions/countries. Cant imagine the pressure behind a big project, which has to be a success because of the time, efford and money you spend in.
So...thanks!
The time behind running a youtube channel is more than anyone thinks before they actually start (i know Magnus has always emphasised this point when I've seen his interviews). Planning, organising people, filming, editing, thumbnails, downloading, uploading, descriptions, sponsors, etc etc.
These days I put equal amounts of effort and dedication into The Wide Boyz business as a whole and my passion as a climber.
As for bigger trips there is always a time pressure, but I always try and prepare for that time pressure by doing the right amount of training.
If I'm ready and i still fail...well that's ok, I just have to train harder and get better. But if I'm not ready and i fail...then I'd be very disappointed in myself.
ooo adjustable hanging cracks :D
hey, you should buy the kid sized soreen bars, more crust for your money.
What a legend
