Big Flash Attempt on Hard Desert Super Route

Pete goes for a Flash of No Way Jose in The North Wash, a fantastic pumpy finger crack, that splits a buttress completely in half and finishes through a small roof
Tom and Pete, then follow it up with some quick ticks, but not without a bit of a fight near the anchor.

Just as you were describing the “butt hole” technique, KZbin decided to serve an ad for diarrhoea medication. The algorithm is glorious.

[@jacob8565]

You can tell when Pete is trying hard because he becomes a tomato

[@WideBoyz]

🍅👌😎

[@MeTTax82]

Tom's shaking at the end is so relatable for everyone, who ever climbed at his/her personal limit.

[@jackbates5759]

Love this style of side by side climbing, great video. Was dying laughing listening to Tom explain how he does buttholes differently to most people! Good to meet you at the Clean Climbing talk today Pete, gutted I couldn’t ask a few Q’s, but thanks for talking to me🙌

[@susanjane4784]

Utter astonishment. Mind-blowing mirror images -- not just the climbing moves either. This needs to go viral! Tell your friends. Tell your mom and dad. Tell your work buddies. This channel is one of the absolute best. I believe I've gushed enough for one day.

[@chaosengine4597]

good effort

[@timothyjohnson224]

Tom and Pete apparently only brought 3 shoes total to this wall, and took turns with the left one. True BFFs. Nice sends and tremendous effort!

[@precursor4263]

Interesting to see you guys side by side. It seems (to me) that pete is stronger and more composed, but Tom seems to climb more efficiently, placing his hands very fast and graciously and using his legs more. Either way sick send to both!

[@thereasonabletroll68]

Pete is definitely the stronger one physically.

[@chaosengine4597]

but we all know that Mari soloed it up with shoes open to be able to film it. So who's the stronkest here?

[@ryanevius]

Really cool to see you both side by side. It’s amazing how differently you each jam that thing!

[@CasaDelMandar]

wish I saw more footage like this on the channel. great effort guys!!

[@ChocolatTherapy]

there is something about this that is so much more appealing and intersting to me as a viewer than the jumpy boulder comps. although i know i will never be able to do this, and can probably never find the dedication to train for it, i still enjoy watching it so much! so cool to see you both side by side too!

[@hotbeefo]

Mari is just fully cracking up behind the camera at the "The way i do a buthole" chat 😂

[@evelynwall7470]

Pete is the most nonchalant badass crack climber, how was 40m of kick backed .4s, "ehh pumpy at the top." 👀

[@GavynPendleton]

Such a fun style of climbing to watch

[@jesbates8611]

I just don't know how your fingers survive that!! So impressive.

[@jakubokolik8847]

Cool route, impressive effort, nice edit. Doing great job with the channel! I would have one wish - narration reveals the result of flash go good 30 seconds ahead of time. Would be more exciting other way around :)

[@perzoorgasmatron4914]

My fav. crack. What a beast! Smashed it! :)

[@toddberlier5487]

shout out to the FA: Jose Pererya. i did not know him, but met him a couple of times at BD. Tried to make this post with links to supertopo and mp, but i guess not allowed--so link them if you can fellows. the supertopo tributes are beautiful.

[@curto312]

That was so sick seeing you both climb the route. Also was so good seeing you back in the film, you’re both class!!

[@Staff3333crEATURE]

god that place looks so cool, ONLY crack, and the other walls look so clean

[@Kyle_climbing]

This was too cool. I love the way you guys finished, giving each climber their own window.

[@_mirjka5746]

Impressive, guys. Mari did a great job!

[@el3xg373]

what a phenomenal route. what a phenomenal video. doesn't get better than that!

[@kafailo6342]

I was sweating when saw you guys jamming fingers in the climb, gorgeous !

[@EmoNemoNinja]

Awesome to see you doing your thing here in the states again. Great line, well climbed.

[@Tobsen660]

Great again! I just understood something. In my Projekt I always try to use both feet in the crack even though it feels wrong. You guys often just pressed your right foot against nothing to bring the left up. Maybe sometimes this is the way to go, harder on the arms but in the end still better then always moving the hole body from left to right. Looking forward to the next upload...

[@WideBoyz]

When the crack is leaning to the side this works well and keeps you in balance alot more easily 👍

[@KombiLife]

Excellent bum holing guys

[@timbratten4049]

Nice to see José's 25-year-old route getting some attention!

[@jamesbailey9386]

Fine job Boyz !

[@xxyox]

PUNISHING route climbed with incredible poise. Hats off….wow

[@rschreck876]

Took that fall like a champ!

[@dida145]

Pete, your poor index fingie :( Insanely amazing to watch you go though!

[@sobyeski]

The KZbin transcripts for WideBoyz vids are absolute gold 😂😂

[@WideBoyz]

😂😎

[@mrfreezeindahouse]

Very well done boyz. Thanks for sharing.

[@shawnbrennan7526]

Great video. I was surprised how methodically both of you climbed. It seemed like there were opportunities for much longer reaches, but not just worked up the crack about 6 inches at a time.

[@Chance-ry1hq]

I got pumped just watching the first 3 minutes. I need to go take a nap

[@ActiveAlexis]

Heck ya! Sick sends. Love the dynotights, Tom!!

[@stumpy25lbs]

Great climbing chaps! 🤙🏼🤘🏼

[@robertnewell4054]

Thanks!

[@adaml2987]

Thin Boyz!

[@7REZAAZAD]

Thank you for all amazing videos. You should make a video series about climbing devices and tools like cams, belaying devices, nuts, anchors, ropes, etc.

[@LouDude502]

Oh man, heartbreaking fall. Great looking route. Cool dude by side action🤙

[@fredrikrapp]

Nice work. Petter Restorp from Sweden did an amazing flash of this one maby about 15 years ago.

[@ryancampbell9803]

Good effort! Jeeze you lads are good at what you do!

[@senjoreladio]

Synchron climbing should definitely be the next olympic discipline!

[@user-hm9we8tt1g]

The choices of each young person and therir joy…i'm inpressd,probably the crimers from all over the warlord

[@Nick-B78]

Amazing sends guys 👏👏👏

[@alexpalmiter8677]

love the side by sides!

[@ericconnor3728]

Great video, great sends!

[@358life6]

That's brilliant. It was good to see what it takes to do it.

[@MrHeliosoul]

Excellent commentary!

[@Rycamcam]

Kudos, for split screening the splitter

[@Bobonautti]

Excellent stuff!

[@GavynPendleton]

Big flash!

[@baddingo4243]

Pretty sure some total Gumby named Alex Honnold flashed this in like 2011. On the same trip, unless I am mistaken, Honnold also flashed Concepcion and Learning to Fly, two other 5.13s.

[@WideBoyz]

Yeh that was an impressive first go effort by Alex! But he's not called The Honwad for nothing 😉

[@FlatOutFE]

Awesome.

[@bigutubefan2738]

Mari is such a legendary Norwegian, she wears woolen socks in the desert.

[@fredscratchet1355]

Tom you look cold🥶

[@Sarah-fy3qf]

Great video as always. P.s you can get banana soreen at abbeydale Tesco.

[@WideBoyz]

The knowledge

[@grey-yem]

You're the true hero

[@mdezeeuw6684]

The both of you had a lot of fun! Great content! Episode:...... :)

[@octavia2]

Watching this stuff it's easy to see how the Americans might come over here and solo London Wall, isn't it? Terrific video.

[@WideBoyz]

They do have perfect splitters to train on that's for sure. Proper crackers 😎

[@Rycamcam]

Amazing line, and super informative breakdown

[@TonySpinach]

that was wildd

[@rsrs7880]

So sick! I also think Pete is the stronger climber. Of course they both climb so fuckin good, but at this side by side Tom's climbing looks more relaxed... But hey that doesn't matter, you both guys are so great and strong climbers... Just unbelievable for a low average climber like me... Much, much respect! 👍💪 Greets from Germany

[@mechanicgray]

Amazing send

[@jakeweeks]

RINGLOCK BOYZ!

[@deserthillbillygems9018]

Found out about this video on Instagram

[@the_real_big_swede3323]

sick stuff

[@Helixe1]

I'm curious, whre those chalk lines horizontal along the crack tick marks ? If so were they left there by previous climbers or did you get a chance to place them before your flash attempts ? :)

[@pabletedona]

Hey, they say in the description of the video; quick ticks ;)

[@NicklePiefy]

@@pabletedona I think the description might be referring to them "ticking off" (as in adding it to a tick list or send list) the climbs? The tick marks were probably there from other climbers

[@j_blue6784]

my guess is that while jamming the thumb might leave such a mark but just a guess..

[@lenisemicolon]

I think it’s actually piles of chalk dust settled along thin ridges in the rock that gives the appearance of lines being drawn, just residue from where hands are placed.

[@shanequastunningbrave5376]

100% ticks/drawn lines to indicate the best finger locks and jams, possibly some gear placements too.

[@khakicam5400]

Have you guys busted many fingers on falls? Or been left hanging by a caught finger or hand? Bloody impressive

[@WideBoyz]

No never got a finger stuck in a crack when falling off. The only finger crack 'injury' I've had is just repetive strain on the ligaments (but that's after months if training). Kind of similar as what you may experience in the tendons from excessive finger boarding

[@lmnts-climbing3723]

“Pumpy at the top” right!

[@Anzorexu]

Hey Pete, I dont know if you've seen it, but Toby had some pretty nice words to say about you in a recent video. Keep up the good content - kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqObeGl_gJWqe68

[@TrackpadProductions]

Any reason for the different shoes? Like, one for face holds, one for jamming, or...?

[@WideBoyz]

Exactly that 👍

[@4thfrom7]

The bottom fell out of my floor when he slipped lol. Why are my hands so sweaty?

[@BurtTMacklin-fbi]

Can you guys do a video on the unparallel shoes and what each is most similar to in terms of old 5.10 models? Their reps don't come out to where I am so I can never try them on in person.

[@WideBoyz]

Rise similar to anasazi velcro Yellow mocc similar to red mocc Rise pro, not really similar two anything in 5.10. Those are the three shoes in the video

[@BurtTMacklin-fbi]

@@WideBoyz Thanks!

[@ph900921]

where did tom get his sick pants from?

[@specificgravity-thedancing9700]

I'll never climb more than into bed, but i LOVE watching it. This was impressive as $@#%!

[@WTHnev]

I wonder how they strip the gear after failing the flash? hmm

[@sk8man1946]

NASTY

[@aspuzling]

I'd love to know how your camera person gets in position!

[@owen9535]

She probably flashed it with all the lenses strapped on

[@WideBoyz]

Tom warmed up by climbing the sections. He hung a rope on the anchor and Mari (camara) Jumared the rope (a technique to ascend a rope with devices)

[@aspuzling]

@@WideBoyz so when Tom climbed it on the warm up, did he tag a static rope to his harness or did Mari Jumar up the dynamic climbing rope?

[@RealSlackerJon]

Girldriend: what are you watching? Video: can you explain what the butthole is? Me: I swear, just another climbing video.

[@Comiskey2]

Siccc

[@skylermaxwell3060]

Why different shoes? Both of you had slippers on the right and something stiffer and more secure on the left. I can guess most placements were made with right foot in right hand in, left foot smear. Right foot shoe better for jamming and left foot shoe stiffer for smearing?

[@WideBoyz]

Yep exavtly Left foot slipper, better for jamming Right foot stiffer, better for edging (as the crack was leaning right, you didn't use your right for in it that much).

[@alcupone6462]

@@WideBoyz well, he wrote it exactly opposite (: Do you ever use for thin cracks stiff shoe? Or is it just useless for fitting it in and slipping out when twisted?

[@traderbarry9139]

is climbing even fun at this grade/level?

[@birdenand]

this… i don’t get it. this is crazy! how in the world are you holding your body weight in those tiny cracks???!

[@saxon8981]

Am I crazy or was this same video posted a few days ago

[@WideBoyz]

Full version of the same route that was sampled in the video a few days ago 👍

[@alejand5]

Tapping your fingers in order to fit them better in the cracks/pockets is aid

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

So are shoes.

[@alejand5]

@@terraflow__bryanburdo4547 yep, but they're accepted

[@kaiatheodore]

I don't know anything about climbing and didn't know people did things like this; I don't understand how your fingers aren't being. like. Ripped Off.

[@GabrielCharette]

Heels behind the rope and no helmet 😬. Do you always have awareness of where your foot is so you'd be ready to whip it out of the way if the fingers blew?

[@SterlingCorrodusCounterCulture]

Why? That's my question. Especially when you can stand on level ground. Someone please help me to understand.

[@willsharp4844]

As someone who has spent a lot of time in that area and on that route, it a real bummer to see you guys blasting all this content about the north wash, a place that's been very intentionally not documented or in the main stream. Obviously the north wash is no more mine than anyone else's but when it's being portrayed for commercial gain it's really a shame. Gone are the days of exploring anything for yourself I guess. We have Instagram for that now...

[@Thadeous01]

first

[@WuchtaArt]

I think you meant fist

[@SpartaSpartan117]

Was this onsight or flash go for this comment?

[@CodeGreen76]

Pete you might want to lock in that girlfriend while you can. It looks like you are starting to get some flesh colored hair tones, if you get my meaning. Getting a little thin on top:) Just some fun trolling. Love the channel.

[@davomontgomeryda3rd]

I’m absolutely amazed how you guys are able to climb such a steep wall with hardly anything more then the tips of your toes & fingers to keep yourself on the wall & advance your entire body weight up that sheer rock face. 😲🫣👍👍

[@shawnbrennan7526]

🤌👌🫰 NOW I know what these symbols are for!!!
