You should aid climb it, placing as much protection as possible,. No rope solo - have a portaledge competition - the one worst at setting it up must belay and clean the route of pro. :-D
Climb as if it were high altitude Alpine mixed climbing: puffy jumpers, goggles, outer mitten shells, dry tooling, supplemental O2 optional but heavily preferred.
Haha, yeah! It would be a great way to practice what to do Incase repelling down with an injured climber (for example rock fall has taken out anchors you need and you also don't want to chance being below falling rocks)
It would be so cool to see you climb it and filmed with as much importance as "The Dawn Wall" is shot and edited. A proper climbing mocumentary, with some high quality editing! Why not ask magnus for help with filming, and bring him along as well! Cheers. Subd. and liked. Awsome!
I think you should bring your ENTIRE trad rack up and act like you're looking for gear the whole way to the top. Love all your videos, you guys are crushing it
Since you've climbed it so many times, I'd love to see you guys climb this blindfolded (On toprope most likely since that climb looks spicy as all hell)
Ah my favorite: Dressed as Santa Claus. Proper huge belly that pushes you out of the wall. Proper beard that blocks you also of seeing your footholds. And glasses that makes you having a hard time to see.
My wife and I think that to truly become a master at climbing the Master's Edge, one must also be able to masterfully down climb. So let's see the climb in reverse!
Without climbing shoes! When I was in font a while back I was amazed by how many locals climbed without shoes on even really hard boulders of all styles, so it would be great to see how you guys would fare!
Honestly that felt horrifying to watch as a new climber, the rope was completely useless at most points and a slip would have meant an injury or worse.
@@MahiKoodaa I'm not a climber and was very confused about that. They spent a lot of time discussing the best way to fall, but I couldn't see how the rope was going to do anything.
Do a couple Would You Rather’s from Climber’s Crag before you start, and then climb baring the consequences. Would you rather climb without shoes on or climb with gardening gloves? Blind folded or while eating a ghost pepper? Without coffee or way over caffeinated? With a full bladder or with itching powder? Etc.
This is the quality content I need more of in my life. Next year make a "free solo"/ "meru" documentary of you guys climbing this wall. Or just wear a blindfold.
As you’ve done it as a big wall, next year you could dress up as Andy Kirkpatrick, with a snow suit and thick Hull accents and aid climb the route using only sky hooks.
You should do the climb with a ridiculous rack, just full on aid rack, maybe aid the climb, but probably more fun to free climb it with the full aid rack and setup.
Seen your vids pop up alot as over the last 3 yrs been slowly hooked on climbing vids, I did a little as a kid and teen and in my 30s now and with 2 step kids recently the focus i remember it gave me i want to pass on, so any tips and tricks would be great, love the vids, When u climbed the big wall but had to camp out as it got dark, wow i can only imagine being that confident, and just enjoying it. Looked amazing. Keep up the great vids. And As always be safe
I'd love to see you two show up and climb master's edge enough times in a day to amount to an el cap ascent, however many times that is. Get a real multipitch climb going!
Master Chef Edge. The person who made the best meal (by a panel of judge) by the time they get to the top, wins. Just try and make oatmeal in a modified chalkbag or something. The meal has to be made at some point on the wall.
You can make it the "Jedi Masters Edge" and climb it in Jedi robes with lightsabers. Some reverse Editing and you forcepull climbing gear from a distance ;)
Quick question for a big wall beginner: On a real big wall, do you also recommend chucking your portaledge to the ground to optimize weight ratios for enhanced performance?
Dual-climbing: Lock yourselves together and climb as one. One climbs with left arm + leg, the other with the right arm + leg. Maybe you'd tape yourselves to each other or something. Utterly stupid, probably dangerous as well; perfect!
Next year, live stream Q&A from the porta ledge and climb with GoPros strapped to head for POV climbing. Would love to see your view. Can gamify it with a stamina bar and finger durability (etc.) overlaid in post. Never seen anything like that before.
Climb it wearing nothing but a kilt, Braveheart style facepaint and a bagpipe. Oh and you're only allowed to move while producing sounds with the bagpipe.
Would like to see a traditional climbing style with nailed boots, hooks and leather trousers, suspenders and stuff (ropes an safety equipment uptodate of course)
As it has a few 'spicey moves' a couple of salami costumes! Failing that "puppets on a string" with the girls above to work the controls 😂👍 a fun area of climbs this, I need to revisit it deffo. Thanx
I think that you should climb the route “Tommy Caldwell in the 80’s style.” This means that you can’t use your left index finger at any time. Also, you need to wear the attire of the 80’s: neon tights, weird stringy tank tops, and a headband of some sort.
Climb it in the style of a CRACKIPEDE. Since a centipede usually has more legs then 4, the bottom person could probably use his arms. Maybe use a sling or something to fasten the top guys feet with the bottom guy.
Next year you guys should go all out. Bring the entire trad rack, put in as many pieces as possible. Bring the porta ledge, bouldering pads. Of course you have to power scream on every move. Two ropes per person obviously. And then maybe a blindfold for extra fun.
'RuPau... Sorry, 'WideBoyz: Drag Race:' One wide boys picks the others full set of drag, Both climb Masters Edge On Lead. Fastest ascent wins :) Added points for flare ofc
I thought you were already training for doing this wall stacked on top of each others shoulders next year when you set the impossible problem in the gym!
Bring a big wooden beam, as long as the climb is high. Then tie it onto the climb so you can crackclimb between masters edge and the beam. It will be the crackmasters edge!
Hi, you could choose 2 routes for this and climb it like: first person will climb it as always but with chalk that is colored so you know where did you touch and the second one must climb it without using holds that are colored. It would probably drastically increase the difficulty and you would need toprope but it would be fun to see how the second one manages it and to be fair for second route switch who will go first. I would like to see if it's even possible.
I think a speed climbing attempt would be really awesome to see!!! Love the fantastic content you guys are awesome. Just used the book opener last week and had to laugh/think of you guys!!!
I just saw a video about Charles Albert, the barefoot climber and this made me wondering. Can you do this climb in only a borat (and safety harness of course)? If not, jeans overalls and crocs would be a nice alternative
Entry/Suggestion for next year: Hardcore version *No chalk *No shoes *No clothes (Undies allowed) *Only protective gear and tape allowed (go nuts with the tape and make yourself a pair of shoes) Enjoy!
Climb it like a v2 gym bro. Shirts off with as poor technique as possible, full on gumby style. Might actually be a bit of a challenge doing a route with as poor technique as possible! Oh and make sure act as obnoxiously douchy as possible too, would be rather entertaining to see you guys so out of character ;)
Crackipede (without the crack, of course) style! TR, One on top, one on bottom, or any type of tandem? Kinda joking here because it's a stout route, but would be entertaining to say the least to have a try!
Top rope self belaying time race, for bonus points name and demonstrate as many crack climbing techniques as you can while climbing. Seems like that's right up your alley
I would totally love to see you climb in the t-rex costumes with those massive heads and tiny short arms. This would make this climb probably a lot more tricky.
Climb it with some sort of aid-bouldering technique. You could do ladder to ladder dynos, deadpoint skyhook catches, I have no idea how you could combine jugging with bat hangs, but there must be a way!
Full on Pirate costumes, one with both eyes eyepatched and one with two wooden peg legs (the one where you bend a knee). While instead of yelling/powermoving you have to do Yarrr or Arrrrs. (bonuspoints if you use a hook and a peg leg at the same time while in full on pirate costume)
So many things to choose from! HAH! I would say climb it while blasting Eurodance music as loud as you comfortably can and do your best to climb it in kinda dancy manner
Since I'm climbing for the last 6 months with just my left foot and I'm quite surprised how well that goes. So I would suggest, that you try to climb it with one limb less. Your choice which limb you need less.

simul-climb it
Blindfolded!!
Justify; it's the ultimate head point. Plus I will laugh!!
You should aid climb it, placing as much protection as possible,. No rope solo - have a portaledge competition - the one worst at setting it up must belay and clean the route of pro. :-D
next year i guess you shoud just down climb it
Climb it in Ondra/Megos cosplay, and absolutely powerscream your lungs out on every single move. Bonus points for any absurd flexible drop knee.
10 points for every kneebar!
hope this count but this one!
Great idea!
really funny! been thinking for a hour and havent thought of anything that can top this. Hope u win!
So dressed as a giraffe and a carrot hahaha
Make a documentary about it. With interviews on the impact on your life and everything. Just full on over the top
This is a GRAND idea haha 🤣
Paraclimbing style: Top rope, blindfolded, with the partner instructing you on what to do :)
Was going to say the same.
@@mikerowland8004 Yup, me too
It's a great technique when on an indoor climbing wall and you want to encourage good communication.
I love how the big wall version of this climb is just: "Climb on no gear to the anchor, set up belay and portaledge, climb on no gear to the top"
I also love how Pete carried a full rack of nuts without using them.
kinda scared me tbh
I want to see the route climbed in full scuba with only the air you bring with you.
Wow, I basically just suggested that, only to see you already had the same idea...I thought I was a wacky one...Apparently we are the wacky two.
Scuba tanks are extremely heavy. I think this is a bit too dangerous an idea, even for pete and tom
@@krakenattackin7617 IF anything goes wrong it would mean a broken back ...
@@Muck006 on top rope then?
Pete, "Just belay me how you normally would"
Tom immediately short ropes him.
I think you should climb it barefoot next year.
😂😂
I want to see you two climb it and have a competition to see who can place the most gear on the pitch!
Climb as if it were high altitude Alpine mixed climbing: puffy jumpers, goggles, outer mitten shells, dry tooling, supplemental O2 optional but heavily preferred.
I'd also suggest that after hauling up the porta-ledge and bouldering pad, Pete and Tom haul Mari up in a haul bag for each pitch.
Haha, yeah! It would be a great way to practice what to do Incase repelling down with an injured climber (for example rock fall has taken out anchors you need and you also don't want to chance being below falling rocks)
Fill up a paddling pool at the bottom and climb it as a DWS
Would make a confusing UKC tick
Climb masters edge entirely with aid techniques. No free moves, aid only.
Oh yeah
That's a good onr
This is a great idea! Get the FAA?
It would be so cool to see you climb it and filmed with as much importance as "The Dawn Wall" is shot and edited.
A proper climbing mocumentary, with some high quality editing! Why not ask magnus for help with filming, and bring him along as well! Cheers. Subd. and liked. Awsome!
You two could do the First Descent by downclimbing the entire thing on lead. (unlead?)
That’s a baller idea. Future of hard climbing?
First Descent. I like it
And show the downlimb in reversed first to make a very confusing video lol
I think you should bring your ENTIRE trad rack up and act like you're looking for gear the whole way to the top.
Love all your videos, you guys are crushing it

Awesome video!!! Next time should be a late night sesh: some smooth jazz, evening attire and mood lighting.
You should climb this wall with a twister wheel. The person at the bottom spins the wheel and then the person climbing has to move that limb next.
Top rope the route, but you climb at the same time holding your partners hand the whole time
Damn, that was close as free soloing as you can get...
Honestly that felt horrifying to watch as a new climber, the rope was completely useless at most points and a slip would have meant an injury or worse.
@@MahiKoodaa I'm not a climber and was very confused about that. They spent a lot of time discussing the best way to fall, but I couldn't see how the rope was going to do anything.

how `bout an old-style climb, with proper old climbing shoes, wool-sweaters and lederhosen?
Omg! 🤣 Yesss!
This is the quality content I need more of in my life.
Next year make a "free solo"/ "meru" documentary of you guys climbing this wall.
Or just wear a blindfold.
As you’ve done it as a big wall, next year you could dress up as Andy Kirkpatrick, with a snow suit and thick Hull accents and aid climb the route using only sky hooks.
Your communication at 6:05 is really priceless and a great example. I think you should climb it dressed as choss
All that was missing at this perfect belay station was a pot of tea and some cookies🤣. Thanks for the entertainment 🙏. You guys 'rock'✌
It's biscuits in britain not cookies, for whatever reason 😅
but I agree with you on that. Yorkshire Tea please 👍
The Pete District. He is finally getting the recognition he deserves :D
You should do the climb with a ridiculous rack, just full on aid rack, maybe aid the climb, but probably more fun to free climb it with the full aid rack and setup.
I’d love to see you guys do masters edge next year in scuba gear!
Loved that advert bit! My suggestion is to wear sloth outfits and compete for who can climb it the SLOWEST! 🦥🦥
I would suggest to climb this wall as if it was a castle wall, meaning that you would wear a proper knigh armor. :-D
I'll suggest you climb the route having crack gloves/tape on your feet and wearing climbing shoes on your hands. Love the vids, keep it up!
It's spooky season in the states. Next time horror music, ghost costumes, and an eerie sepia filter are a must. :)
Seen your vids pop up alot as over the last 3 yrs been slowly hooked on climbing vids, I did a little as a kid and teen and in my 30s now and with 2 step kids recently the focus i remember it gave me i want to pass on, so any tips and tricks would be great, love the vids, When u climbed the big wall but had to camp out as it got dark, wow i can only imagine being that confident, and just enjoying it.

Try to live (cooking, sleeping, doing some pastimes) 24 hours in the masters edge😂
You could try taping your fingers together, allowing you to only climb with ‘paddle hands’. Or maybe blindfolded with a spotter pointing out holds...
You are a winner see our latest community post for details 😎
I'd love to see you two show up and climb master's edge enough times in a day to amount to an el cap ascent, however many times that is. Get a real multipitch climb going!

Next year: dry tooling. And if you're worried about the ice axes ruining the rock, why not wrap the axe tips in bubble wrap?
Or rubber tubing?
Quick question for a big wall beginner: On a real big wall, do you also recommend chucking your portaledge to the ground to optimize weight ratios for enhanced performance?
That is what they do in Yosemite. The bases of big walls are littered with discarded ledges and haulbags. No not really. Don't chuck stuff off walls.
Epic! Have you guys published a topo guide for this big wall route?
When will you climb the worlds biggest small wall
Could you simultaneously downclimb and upclimb the route on opposite ends of the same top rope.
Dual-climbing: Lock yourselves together and climb as one. One climbs with left arm + leg, the other with the right arm + leg. Maybe you'd tape yourselves to each other or something. Utterly stupid, probably dangerous as well; perfect!
@Joshua Millet I couldn't possibly ask for anything better!
@@ParalyzedChopstick What I was going to suggest, would definitely have to top rope it if they went for it, feel it would seal their bromance forever!
@@alevans1168 Top rope absolutely! And yeah, it would cement their bromance forever!
Next year, live stream Q&A from the porta ledge and climb with GoPros strapped to head for POV climbing. Would love to see your view. Can gamify it with a stamina bar and finger durability (etc.) overlaid in post. Never seen anything like that before.
Climb it wearing nothing but a kilt, Braveheart style facepaint and a bagpipe.
Oh and you're only allowed to move while producing sounds with the bagpipe.
Memorise Adam Ondra's scream routine on Silence and recite it while you climb it next year.
Climb it with run of the mill running shoes. As if you were out for a jog and decided to do a climb.
is this the same place that two drums and a cymble falls of a cliff was recorded?
Would like to see a traditional climbing style with nailed boots, hooks and leather trousers, suspenders and stuff (ropes an safety equipment uptodate of course)

Brushpoint climb. So you have to brush each hold after you use it. (Alex Megos did it a while back and did a video on it)

PLEASE climb it with someone who has never climbed before and you have to coach them through everything
it's e7 6c! I've been climbing 10 years and would retire from climbing happy if I ever got good/brave enough to do this route.
With full consideration for safety, perhaps blindfold or eyepatch challenge on big wall. Looking forward to more from yall!
'RuPau... Sorry, 'WideBoyz: Drag Race:'
One wide boys picks the others full set of drag, Both climb Masters Edge On Lead. Fastest ascent wins :) Added points for flare ofc
Plus lip sync! If it's a proper drag therehas to be lip sync! 😃
Bonus points also awarded for the best drag name!
Bonus points for the best tuck also? Or would it be too much 😅
Climb it with Mari Yoda style. Pete Whittaker as Luke Skywalker and a grown woman attached to his back. Instant classic
The next logical step would be to fix the first pitch on day 1, sleep at the base, jug up and send the 2nd pitch on day 2.
Climb it in an Astronaut's suit as you explore this new frontier of climbing.
wait until you get that quality peak district snow and climb it in crampons with ice axes
I suggest two shaun the sheep suits for the next climb. Best of luck to ya!
Go with full alpine gear (ice axes, crampons, gloves, etc), preferrably during winter
I thought you were already training for doing this wall stacked on top of each others shoulders next year when you set the impossible problem in the gym!

How about doing it in reverse? Down climb the route. I always find climbing down harder than going up.
I would like to see you climb masters edge where you have to shotgun a beer every time you place a piece of protection, to help even out the nerves.
That would be 0 beer…
I just saw a video about Charles Albert, the barefoot climber and this made me wondering. Can you do this climb in only a borat (and safety harness of course)?
If not, jeans overalls and crocs would be a nice alternative
Entry/Suggestion for next year: Hardcore version
*No chalk
*No shoes
*No clothes (Undies allowed)
*Only protective gear and tape allowed (go nuts with the tape and make yourself a pair of shoes)
Enjoy!
Might I suggest downclimbing Masters Edge next year?
Simul climb Master’s edge.
Bonus: Shorten the rope for a partner climb
Have you tried climbing it from the top down to the start? Maybe it could be a new eye openining experience.
Legendary lads, I think you should climb it in a three legged race style. True partnership ascent 🤣
Climb it like a v2 gym bro. Shirts off with as poor technique as possible, full on gumby style. Might actually be a bit of a challenge doing a route with as poor technique as possible! Oh and make sure act as obnoxiously douchy as possible too, would be rather entertaining to see you guys so out of character ;)
Next year you should try it almost undressed, like in a swimsuit or something OR from the top to the base (Downclimbing it). Great vid !
Crackipede (without the crack, of course) style! TR, One on top, one on bottom, or any type of tandem? Kinda joking here because it's a stout route, but would be entertaining to say the least to have a try!
Top rope self belaying time race, for bonus points name and demonstrate as many crack climbing techniques as you can while climbing. Seems like that's right up your alley
How about setting up a top rope belay and speed climb the route?
I reckon you should climb an easier nearby route up the the top and then use Masters Edges as your sketchy descent
I would totally love to see you climb in the t-rex costumes with those massive heads and tiny short arms. This would make this climb probably a lot more tricky.
Id like to see you start at the top. And down lead it!! Wouldn't fancy being the second!
Hmmm well I think that if you climb it in alpine style. I wanna see it all. Ice picks, rappels, climbs and mountaineering!
Can’t seem to find the link for that book… seemed like a real good read.
Try climbing it with the electric shocking thing, you used in the video with the bouldering bobats!
That's pretty much free solo! How can you take a photo when your discance to the last pitch is bigger than from the pitch to the ground?
Climb it with some sort of aid-bouldering technique. You could do ladder to ladder dynos, deadpoint skyhook catches, I have no idea how you could combine jugging with bat hangs, but there must be a way!
I’m gunna go with pirate fancy dress and if possible some hook or pegleg action for extra spice!!
Full on Pirate costumes, one with both eyes eyepatched and one with two wooden peg legs (the one where you bend a knee). While instead of yelling/powermoving you have to do Yarrr or Arrrrs.
(bonuspoints if you use a hook and a peg leg at the same time while in full on pirate costume)
So many things to choose from! HAH! I would say climb it while blasting Eurodance music as loud as you comfortably can and do your best to climb it in kinda dancy manner
Next year what about a reverse lead of Marsters Edge top down to ground!
Can you do it in your first rock boots you owned?
How about down climbing it next year?
Since I'm climbing for the last 6 months with just my left foot and I'm quite surprised how well that goes. So I would suggest, that you try to climb it with one limb less. Your choice which limb you need less.
