Only recently found your channel, great content I really get an appreciation for the challange of the routes which is sometimes missed. Also like your presentation and filming style keep it up
Like many boulderers, I hated slabs until last year. Decided I needed that skill to be more rounded and did 2 weeks in Font in middle of summer, i.e. the worst connies. I can stand on my feet now and love slabs. PS. You've definitely inspired me to get up to Yorkshire this year. Keep it going fella!
Ummm god knows, guess that’s a pretty regular debate. In my opinion I am not really sure how else to grade it, it’s not a boulder problem, if you fell off the top section you would still probably break your leg!! So I guess E grade is still appropriate
Philo0 - hopefully not, no. All the old grades are for padless ascents. Most guides sort this out with a dual grade (highball + OLD adjectival grade). Some of the solos are still not adequately catered for tho. Maybe it should be like headpoints (boak) where there's a vague consensus of the ascent being equivalent to an onsight two grades lower?? Or the Welsh-style exclamation mark to indicate highball V8 (!) etc?
Save the E grade BS for UKC! It's not Dan's fault we have an antiquated trad grading system that is particularly rubbish at accounting for the style that these sorts of routes are going to be climbed in these days.
did you do to many drugs before this or not enough or just right am not sure
the timing of the music for the second boulder was unreal, great edit!
Thanks
brilliant stuff as always. quite nice to see some footage without music (roped ascent of Marrowbone Jelly). good for the ambience and atmosphere.
Thanks 👊

Ace video! Where did you get the sound track from?
Matt Green epedemic sound
Love your videos man, super inspiring stuff as always!
Ah cheers glad you enjoy them and they get you psyched 👊
am impressed that was cool

Awesome video! 👍🔥 all those climbs look rad, especially marrowbone jelly.. scary as hell though.
Ha ha Dan, my wife would not have reacted that way! That landing on Andy's route looked a bit spicy as well!
Haha. Yeah funny! It’s not too bad! Good boulder
Are the Skwama’s good on the slabs? Haven’t climbed in them myself but I had assumed they’d be rubbish on that kinda thing
Yeah they are good! However the ones I was wearing are super super old, not sure they would be much good out the box!
I would second this, I really love my well worn solutions for short slabby blocs.
I third that. New Solutions = scary as hell. Old worn in Solutions = perfect for slabs.
Have you tried The Chieftain, Dan? Hard and definitely a slab. Your Grace is a more logical line but not as difficult. Then there's Your Majesty...
Sweet cheers, they are on the list!!
The Doppler Effect next?
nathanie1 1ars I can only but dream
I did Syrrets Saunter!
You’d the man. Apparently the big pebble out right had broken.... felt nails to me.
not meaning to be controversial or to take anything away from the ascent but do people take E grades for stacking bouldering pads etc?

luv it, lad
Cheers mate, will have to pop in one day!! 🤘🏻✌🏻
Grade ? Name? How many meters ?
Which one?
@@DanTurnerbouldering I think the first one.
Names are in the video, but there are syretts saunter 7B+, Andy’s Route sit 7C and Marrowbone Jelly E7 6c
Ace video, never been phyced for bouldering slab 😂
Yeah me neither, but I have neglected loads of cool things in the past, so it’s cool to back to places with free psyche
Just move Caley to Derbyshire. No need ever visit Yorkshire again.
Impressively controlled climbing. It looks big and scary on video and it's lot bigger and scarier in real life.
Yeah always looked at it and been terrified. Glad I manned up and got it done!
