Whoops! 😅😅 New routing and early repeats often involve a bit of choss wrestling… Stay calm, laugh it off. Best course of action! Full video out today on the @wide_boyz YouTube channel. Link in my stories 🎥 Thanks to @mytendon for supporting this video! 🙏
What a Bangkok experience! 🐐Many thanks to @stonegoatclimb for hosting us this week. Dreamy comp problems and delicious technical slabs covering the walls across the whole gym 🤩 The local climbing scene is full of so much passion for the sport and it’s awesome to see hundreds of new people getting into it and hearing about the developing community. We (@annahazelnutt & @tompaulrandall) are off northwards now for some new boulder and route development/FAs. Psyched! Photos by: @kcphotographyhk 📸🙏
Ooof! That was a lucky one 😄 On, off, back on… on Heckler’s Harem at the newly established Resort Wall. I’d seen @matt.2foldstudio grab the mega jug just before my go, so I thought a safe enough idea was to skip the big reach move and just double dyno. Incorrect assumption 😅🙈. Turns out that when you miss time a jump to a hold shaped like a bread knife, you don’t do your skin the biggest favour. Lesson definitely learnt… 😬 Thanks for the photos @kcphotographyhk 🙌 📸 ! @rab.equipment @mytendon @unparallelup

Urban cracks 🖤 ~ Berlin A few pics from the reel I posted the other day. 20m splitter hands, thin hands and a bit of ringlock. I’d guess it’s about 5.12a if it was in The Creek? Which it’s most definitely not 😂😂 @wildcountry_official @rab.equipment @mytendon @unparallelup

First week of new route development up in Isan, N Thailand with regular partner-in-chaos @annahazelnutt & new partner-in-functionality @kkclimbingclub 😄 It’s been an whirlwind of bushwhacking, culture and limestone crimping… and there’s soooo much to do here! 😳 I’ve been establishing FAs for most of my climbing career (I think my first was 2001??) but never really delved that deep into the sport climbing establishment… well after a week of it I can safely say – HARD WORK 🥵🥵🥵. Freaking amazing effort by those worldwide who put up all these ropes for us to enjoy. I thought crack climbing was an effort but this is deffo a bit harder! 🙌 Thanks to @kcphotographyhk for the pics! Trip also supported massively by @rab.equipment who’ve made a big contribution to everything going on here. It’s a community effort and sponsor support is mega to get with stuff like this as it’s not always about big numbers and headlines.

Crack House of the Peak District! 💪💪💪 I’ve known about this rather unusual roof crack for a while, but never quite got round to a visit. “String Theory” – someone tell me the grade as I have no idea! – is something to put on your list if you love proper splitter jamming… it’s one of the best problems of this style in the area for sure 🙌🙌 It’s a bit of a caving mission (there is zero light in the back of the cave) so I was curious to see how a couple of the lightweight @fenixlightuk LED boxes would work. Really good!! I’ve tended to use headtorches in these kinds of situations but the portable LED standalones have got so powerful these days I think I’m converted. One more week in the UK and it’s time to head back to Germany to see what the offwidth project has to offer in terms of core, shin and hip flexor melt 😅😅 @rab.equipment @wildcountry_official @mytendon @unparallelup
What do you prefer? The V8 or the V6 version? 🚀 Not sure that the Berlin comp scene is going to massively appreciate that I’ve done some crack setting today, but hey, gotta keep the competitors on their toes eh? 😅😅 Thanks to the team at @derkegel who let me wield an impact driver and do pretty much whatever I fancied. Some @wide_boyz chaos spreading is always something I’m into 😄 Should be a good warm up for the first attempts this week on the big bridge offwidth roof project. Proper psyched for this after a block of training back down on the Century Crack. Deffo been a hard experience to remember how frickin’ beefy and unpleasant some of the OW training can be though. Ooooof 🥵🥵🥵
