Wedge has been doing very high quality video and cinematography for a while now. When you take that quality to some of the best rock in the world, the end result is the highest quality rock video of this style on TH-cam. Well done.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Always a pleasure to get such nice comments 😁

[@carlosarboleda8993]

Agree. Best bouldering content on the platform

[@n4boards144]

Ace video good mix of climbing and story telling interview, great videography

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@almostheavenclimbingco.304]

This might be the best 26 minutes of climbing footage on TH-cam. If this doesn’t get you stoked, I don’t know what will.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@dannygrout92]

Can we all just appreciate the body of work here, the man's even took the time to reply to every single comment.
It's insane!!
That and Jim having to climb 8b+ to feel like he's done something hard 😅

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks Dan! The least I can do is reply when the comments are this good 😁

[@skipperv7884]

If Aiden hasn't tried the product Spit from Rhino Skin Solutions please relay the message to him to try it. Life changing for those of us with glassy dry skin.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

I'm a big fan of using spit as well, it's a game changer for me when it's cold and dry. I also suggested it to Aidan but he says it makes him more likely to split his tips

[@projektxtension]

Tt slip off freaky bros top out reminded so much of doylo's power n glory vid moment. "That extra handhold saved me" 😅 keith uncle somebody

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅 I'm still not sure if grabbing the tree was a good move or not... Now it just looks like I have a huge birth mark on my bicep...

wedge is the best channel in the fucking game right now and that swiss rock looks like something out of a dream. I also liked the part about aidan talking about how people are gonna get annoyed at him for complaining about dry skin lmao

Cheers! Means a lot to get comments like this 😁

Absolutely stunning boulders

[@Tort-]

gotta love that tree's spotting skills! ive had some epic tree spots they hurt like a bitch but they've been better than the ground LMAO

[@aries_9130]

Sick stuff, as usual. Props for including the music titles in the description as well!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@1danim]

Are you using different climbing shoes depend on the boulder? Your friend do that too i think... Could you explain me why? Im interested in that haha. Nice video m8!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Yeah we'd often swap shoes depending on what the footholds are like. Some climbs you want stiffer shoes or shoes with a different heel for example

[@sexykodo]

Definitely easy on the eyes!

[@gaspardtomas3716]

Wow, great videos you guys are super strong ! I'm also currently staying in Val bavona and as you said there's not much information about the boulders. Do you have any advice on how to find the boulders like the 7C and the 8A in the video ?

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! The 7C is behind off the wagon if you know where that is? Although I think climbing might not be allowed at that area this time of year 🤔 could be wrong though

[@nicholasmarshall5775]

Is it possible to overdose on psyche!? Asking for a friend...

Good footage that 🤩👍 Just wondering where you tigers get your back, sacks and cracks waxed? Is there a good spot in Sheffield these days and does it help on the max hangs? 😜

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅 not sure if it helps with max hangs, but I reckon it must make you more aerodynamic on big moves...
