Hi Paul, thanks to you too for commenting!!! I hope you are enjoying a happy festive season. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @mlb82gaming32, thanks for taking the time to comment. I really appreciate all feedback. This video makes this little climb appear easier than it actually is and an experienced climber will not find it very difficult. It does however provide some interesting challenges to a beginner, mainly at the start of the climb. There are plenty of good beginners climbs at Birchen. Enjoy your explorations.

It was very green and slippy in that corner!

Hi Duncan, thanks for the comment. You are correct about the 70 at 70 climb series. Only 4 climbs remaining in that set. We have however got plenty of content coming in the New Year, so please continue to watch and comment. Outside are well worth a visit. We were there recently. Have you seen my cam short? 😊 Enjoy your explorations and have a merry christmas and a happy new year.

Hi @edd-100, Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have checked out your information against that given in Rockfax and with other climbers who have climbed this route. All are confirming that the route is correct. Have you seen the climb by Johnny Dawes - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6qmkoameMl0ndE who climbed it hands free?!! I’m sure that his climb isn’t pure Chalkstorm, but who really cares as long as we achieve what we want out of a climb. Please keep commenting and watching. Your feedback is always valued. Enjoy your explorations.

Maybe I just made it hard for myself then!

That seems to be the general comment on this climb.😂

Hi again Paul. Thanks for the comment. This video was a tester to see if all the climbers did the same ascent. I my try this on a few more climbs. I’m very happy that you are enjoying the content. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @jamejoc, Thanks for the comment. I’m very happy that you are enjoying the videos. We had no problem accessing this crag via the public footpath through the field behind the crag. You cross into the crag over a stile at the end of the field fence line, then make your way back the way you came to reach the crag. I can understand why the owner would be concerned, as the ground drops away steeply below the crag. RockFax says that the crag is owned by Nantyr Outdoor Education Centre Tel: 07587 293890 I hope this information is of some help. Enjoy your explorations.

@ Appreciate the detailed response thank you!

Hi Mr Blackman, thank you for your great comment. I’m very happy that you are enjoying my work. I have also been watching your videos which are all excellent. You are a very talented drone pilot. Enjoy your explorations.

@Up-and-Around Thank you very much. Good night. Bow.

Hi Chris, he wasn’t there when we returned recently 😊. I’m still hoping to get footage of the complete climb and will post it as soon as I do. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi David, there are some good climbs at Burbage and this is certainly one of them. We were intending to return to Burbage North this last weekend. Storm Darragh put a stop to any filming. We will try again as soon as possible. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @thehivemind5531, thanks for taking the time to comment. I have to agree with you. This was a great climb. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Dave, thanks for taking the time to comment. Burbage north is full of this kind of route. I’ll be posting more of them soon. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Steve, thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope it was drier than it was when we climbed it. A great climb. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Nick, thanks for taking the time to comment. A great climb on a wet day. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @trevoredensor7114, thanks for taking the time to comment. It was a wet day and the only opportunity we had to climb, but well worth the effort. Enjoy your explorations.

Thanks. The crag was much wetter than expected and this was the only route that looked climbable. Probably much easier when dry.

@ the real effort you exert is inspiring every time. It’s the best part of your channel. Love it 😊

Hi Dave, thanks again for taking the time to comment. It was a damp day and we had planned to climb Borderline. Maybe next time😊. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi David, thanks for taking the time to comment again. I’m very happy that you are enjoying the content. It was always our intention to take the “Warts and all” approach to the videos and include climbs at all grades. I agree with you about the café option 😊. Many a coffee and bacon bap has been consumed whilst procrastinating. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi David, yes it was pretty much like that! We climbed 18 different routes that day. The weather did improve later. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you enjoy some more of the content on this site and consider subscribing. We have plenty of good videos coming up. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Keith, I have to agree with you on that one. A very enjoyable climb. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Please consider subscribing to the channel. I shall look forward to your opinions on other climbs.

Hi Doug, we certainly picked a great week for a 70 year old to do 70 climbs in 5 days! We hope you continue to enjoy our videos. There are plenty more to come. Please consider subscribing, and click the like and notify buttons. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Trevor, thanks very much for your comment. I’m sure that the ladies appreciate the feedback. They are both strong accomplished climbers. Please keep watching, commenting and consider subscribing to this channel. It all helps us to provide more content like this one. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @punxneverdead666, it certainly was a good whip! The crag was very busy that day and went suddenly very quiet. We were all very relieved when we found out he was ok. Thanks for commenting. Please continue to enjoy these videos and consider subscribing to the channel. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Chris, this climb has been analysed by many viewers and the consensus is that the cam was dislodged when it was pulled upward by the jammed rope. It was than pulled out by the shock loading from the sudden loading from the fall. I hope this helps. Please keep commenting, liking the videos and subscribe to this channel. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Jon, thanks for watching and following. I’m pleased you liked the outline, we all need to know where we’re going. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Paul, I agree with you. I think that sometimes we are all guilty of carrying everything we own on every climb. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Please keep watching, commenting and climbing. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @gediminasgribauskas4714, I know that “Chalkstorm”, which is the climb to the right of this one, is regularly top roped. So, I expect that this one could be too. From feed back from some of my other subscribers, quite a few climbs at this venue can be top roped. I hope this helps. Please keep commenting, liking the videos and subscribe to this channel. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @finn-8453, Thanks for taking the time to comment. Please keep watching, commenting and climbing. You never know you might just be climbing for many years. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @doughobbs7706, Thanks for taking the time to comment. I have now purchased more radio mics, so please keep watching and perhaps subscribe so that you don't miss any of the videos. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @pu11y, sometimes it just rains. This climb was part of a 70 climb challenge over 5 days. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Please keep watching, commenting and climbing. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Mark, thanks for your comment and feedback it really helps me to find out what people want to see in these videos. I agree with you about head cam videos, they make me feel dizzy! I do use one occasionally for a specific series if shots. Please ensure that you subscribe and press the like and notification button as I have some good videos in production now. Most importantly, “Don’t get stuck in the chimney!” Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Paul, Thanks for taking the time to comment. Really glad that you're enjoying the climbs. We have more climbs coming very soon. Enjoy your explorations

Hi Paul Thanks again for your comments. I grabbed the only camera I had available to get some footage of this Pedestal Route video. If you want to see the complete Neb Finish, it’s also the exit form my “Technical Slab with Neb Finish” video. Enjoy your explorations

@@Up-and-Around Thanks I will make sure to check that out All the best

Hi @frfr335 One of your questions is absolutely correct. I’ll leave you to decide which one it is. 😊 I’ve corrected the title and notes but can’t’ do anything about the video btw. Thanks Enjoy your explorations

Hi Stu, I go to most of these venues regularly and always enjoy my time there. I’m currently working on large video project in the peaks which will be revealed in the new year. The peaks are worth a visit at any time even if it’s just to enjoy the scenery. Enjoy your explorations

Hi Robert, You wouldn’t regret it. There are plenty of good climbing venues and beautiful scenery. We are due to climb in that area again before the end of the year. Enjoy your explorations

Hi David, Welcome to the channel. It’s good to hear that you are both getting into your climbing. The sport routes are good and present a different set of challenges. In fact, we were out sport climbing on “Catch the Pigeon”, 4c * at Trevor Quarry, near Llangollen in Wales on the 29th October 24. That video will be coming up on the channel in the near future. You should try trad. There are some fabulous venues in this country. If you have a look through my 70 at 70 series of climbs, you will find plenty of accessible climbs to start you off. If you want specific pointers, let me know. Thanks for the comment and keep on watching and commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Lee, I know that all of our climbers found this climb exciting and a bit challenging, but thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The view from the top of the wall is amazing. I’ll have to remember to video it next time. Thanks for the comment and keep on watching and commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Conrad, Welcome to the channel. We had a great day at Trowbarrow and intend to visit again. You live in a part of the country that has great climbing, great vistas and a lot of history. Keep enjoying your walks. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Robert, Welcome back and thanks for the great comment. That’s a very good description of that move! Andrew does those quite often and has usually taken precautions before the move, but they are entertaining. So keep watching and commenting as we have plenty more to come. Enjoy your explorations.

@ I think Andrew invented a new climbing move…..the moon walk. Andrew’s moon walk! That might stick.

Hi Mark, That must have been and entertaining climb! Very happy that you are enjoying the videos and thanks for the compliment, it is appreciated. We believe that it important to show climbs at as many levels as we can, and hope that beginners as well as the more experienced climbers, enjoy the channel content.

Hi Robert, We all love a good line. I enjoyed your Climbing the walls and Doppelgänger videos. You should film some more. Enjoy your explorations

@@Up-and-Around thanks for the encouragement :0) You’re doing such good work, it is inspiring. BTW I got 1000’ of moderate crag climbing in this weekend, it was so much fun. It’s been a while since that was the norm. Staying in the game IS the game!

Hi Stu, Another testing climb. This was steep, complicated and definitely bold. I know that the climbers enjoyed the challenge. I was also very pleased that my radio mic survived a drop onto rock of around 15 metres without any damage. Enjoy your explorations

Hi Stu, Yes this was a great climb and a challenging one to video. I was operating from the Baggy point cliffs opposite the Long Rock Slab rock face. Flying at that distance requires a lot of concentration. At one point the drone tried to land on the sea on its return trip! The weather that day was perfect and the climbing and views were excellent. The area is well worth a visit even just for a stroll. Enjoy your explorations

Hi Fred, Thanks for taking the time to comment. You are correct, it has always been our intention to show the complete range of variety that our sport has. Especially those aspects that are valuable to starting or novice climbers. That is why we show complete climbs and variations chosen by different climbers on the same route. Our next project is a look at sport climbing, which we will be filming over the coming weeks. If you want to watch a more challenging climb, look out for the VS 4c *** Jean Jeanie at Trowbarrow Quarry in Lancashire, which will be on the channel from Friday 5th October. Please ensure that you have subscribed, press the notify and like buttons and please keep on commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @WillL0, I agree with you, this is a little more complicated than it looks and everyone climbs slightly differently. I think we all also have some moves and techniques that we prefer to use which have a bearing on how we climb. That’s the beauty of this sport, we can do it our own way!

Hi Stu, Welcome to my channel. I’m very happy that you’re enjoying the content.

So make sure that you have subscribed and hit the notification and like buttons. I have just subscribed to your channel as I have been a keen interest in your subject too. I don’t get to do so much programming as I used to professionally. I shall also be taking a close look at your Alexa videos. Please keep watching and commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Welcome back again Paul, Beckermet Slab is one of my favourite videos. I just love the view as the camera rotates around the arete and then pulls back to show Mauds Garden. A very picturesque scene. Thanks for watching and commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi again Andrew, I know what you mean! It takes a certain amount of faith and a handful of courage to make that leap of faith! Please keep watching and commenting Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Andrew, I agree with you. The name “Valkarie” means “Chooser of the slain” in Norse mythology. When you stand under this classic exposed climb, you just feel how imposing it is. I think the climbers did it justice on this occasion. I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I have plenty more footage still in edit, so make sure that you are subscribed, fit the notification and like buttons and please keep on commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi Richard, I have to agree with you on that! I’d been hoping to get video on this climb for a while and I was lucky on this occasion to catch them climbing. I was on my way back to the Don Whillans hut for a cuppa when I spotted them climbing. We were on a BMSCMC climbing weekend and I had been videoing around The Sloth. If you haven’t seen that video yet, it’s worth a view! I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I have plenty more footage still in edit, so make sure that you are subscribed, fit the notification and like buttons and please keep on commenting. Enjoy your explorations.

Hi @CCCarl123, Valkrie is well known for its ability to cause rope drag. I’ve heard of a good few climbs where the rope was completely jammed. We were on a BMSCMC climbing weekend. The lead climber on this climb was also featured on another BMSCMC weekend climb, Baggy Point, Twinkletoes video. I’m glad you enjoyed this video. I have plenty more footage still in edit, so make sure that you are subscribed, fit the notification and like buttons and please keep on commenting. Enjoy your explorations.
