Pete, if you split the soreen lengthways you will end up with two long pieces of crust. Hope this helps

I love how Pete is super cheeky in these vids he seems like a super genuine guy. I've been trying to get into crack climbing more and more and it's entirely because of the Wideboys. The gyms in my town in Australia dont really set crack problems or incorporate cracks in any meaningful way in setting.

[@walterego5381]

I love that holding on to a hold with a bicep curl is considered a 'rest'. Another great video lads, looking forward to more.

[@colosseer4184]

Today I used a crack technique for a boulder for the first time. It was an unpopular way to start but the beta spread in the bouldering gym and suddenly others went for it as well. It hurts the arm but has a 100 percent success rate. No send though, there was a nasty bit of shouldering right before the top. :(

Totally unrelated to climbing, but good job on using the lavalier mic without picking up scratches or rumbles. People struggle with that in productions that involve far less physical activity, so big props.

[@sebo1358]

Thank you, a very interesting video - i'm always curios about the business behind this format. In the YT-video it looks easy and fun, but behind the scenes, you have to spend a lot of time for planning, training, editing and ... it seems like that ... driving from a to b. I wonder how much work goes into a bigger expedition/climb outside the common regions/countries. Cant imagine the pressure behind a big project, which has to be a success because of the time, efford and money you spend in. So...thanks!

[@WideBoyz]

The time behind running a youtube channel is more than anyone thinks before they actually start (i know Magnus has always emphasised this point when I've seen his interviews). Planning, organising people, filming, editing, thumbnails, downloading, uploading, descriptions, sponsors, etc etc. These days I put equal amounts of effort and dedication into The Wide Boyz business as a whole and my passion as a climber. As for bigger trips there is always a time pressure, but I always try and prepare for that time pressure by doing the right amount of training. If I'm ready and i still fail...well that's ok, I just have to train harder and get better. But if I'm not ready and i fail...then I'd be very disappointed in myself.

[@colinjones7689]

Question to Pete (wide boyz), would you be able to do the KZbin channel solo or would it be impossible without Pete (editor)

[@WideBoyz]

I started the yotube channel solo, filming and editing, so it would be possible to carry on in this fashion. However as the channel has got a bit bigger it seemed sensible to bring Pete into help,it takes the pressure off the editing time (as I'm not the quickest), and gives me some more freedom to concentrate on other things within the Wide Boyz. Pete also brings some extra ideas, creativity and fun to the team. Myself and Pete (filmer/editor), do 1 video each a week(ish)

As a powerlifter/strongman who started climbing about a year ago, I am happy to help clarify any strongman questions. For the record, strongmen pull almost any vehicle. One of the cool things about strongman is that the events are incredibly varied. A competition could include natural stone lifts, atlas stones like what Pete did, log presses, and more niche things like “fingals fingers”, power stairs, etc. or none of it, and at any weight. Love ya, Pete! And I love Dan. Keep up the good work, and know that when you see a pair of crack gloves headed to Idaho, they’re for me!
