  • Honey Badger 8C+ at Badger Cove, Peak District has been an ongoing project this summer. I am so happy how it all came together and produced the hardest boulder I have climbed to date, and one of my favourites! Let me know what you think in comments below!

    It wouldn't be British bouldering without some choss wrangling at the end! Good effort!

    Another insane performance, also love the format of a longer video about a limit boulder
    My favourite move: 6:25 after putting the heel, you drop your other knee to get so much closer to the wall and statically reach to that far gaston.

    The approach to Badger cove should get at least a 6b it’s so sketchy 🤪 it’s really quite an epic setting though, good effort on the send! 💪

    Hi Will, you should ask malcolm smith if he still has splinter up and if you can try to send it, that would be so cool!

    It's crazy how smooth and precise you are in each movement. You could have fooled me that it was only your second session on it! Do you visualize the moves off the wall a lot? Or did that come from practicing on the wall?

    Congrats on the effort. No doubt that Will is crazy strong which he fully demonstrated this year. But what's the obsession with the awful-looking limestone caves (starting from the visit to Czech Rebublic)? I mean there are so many beautiful grit boulders/projects to be climbed in the UK...
