The editing in this video is a little confusing. You're including social media posts with captions that are not directly related to what the host is discussing at that moment (discussing gear at 7:43 but showing a picture with no gear in it, but instead a wide shot of the wall where the challenges of gear placement are impossible to see). Sometimes quoting Pearson/MacLeod or a social media posts but showing a post without the quote (such as at 2:39, 5:30, and 6:11). I would have been far less distracted if the captions/comments sections were not included and you just showed the pictures.
Well done to James and to Dave for his commitment across a broad range of climbing disciplines. The dedication it takes is immense.
Been a fan of James since he was a youngster. Glad to see this and offer congratulations!

Who asked buddy
I was mega confused haha. Stopping the video and zooming in on text that wasn’t there! The simple interview with James at the end was a relief 😅
Hardest unrepeated Trad line:
Best Things in Life are Free, Shawangunks, NY, USA
It might be the hardest one we know about, but there’s plenty of others out there we don’t know about too 👀
I'm gonna go with 'strenuousness', Rob 😀 Great vid as always! 🤓
Awesome!
He still needs to go do Crown Royale!
You're quite right, it'd be amazing to see him on it too - especially with his current level of fitness
He should go try Burketts unrepeated routes in the lakes.
any in particular that you were thinking of?
James would piss any of Dave Birketts routes. He’s on another level, evidently!
get him on hard cheese
YES!!!
is tensioning protection to the ground a repeat off the route....
Yes.
