Free Climb of Lost Horizon (VS 5a) at Baggy Point, North Devon

[@jonnow3441]

I have just literally Seconded that climb. Incredible achievement for me. U made it pretty swift, well done. Defo felt harder than VS but was well protected. The climb taught me how to foot and toe jam and finger lock. Very pleased I did it 😊

[@nigeloram3524]

That’s brought some memories back!…41 years ago I climbed that. 👍🏻

[@ghgghhggghhh]

Nice to see regular people doing good solid climbing.

Was soloing here in 1976 waiting to go to Lundy, then a guy turned up we looked up, and thought, let's do it. Great climb.

I'll bet it was magnificent with a little less polish!

[@ritakingsbury7154]

Awesome!!!!! I loved it! Thank you for sharing. It just increased the level of interest on my new passion, rock climbing!

Nice crack and nice video!

[@BananaMassive]

Nice one thanks!

[@justasifineversinned]

at 3 mins did you manage to get that cam out again?!

[@halfarsedstudio]

Yes, the cam came out! Thats the beauty of double axle cams, they give about 40% more range than single axle at the cost of a little extra weight. As a rule, Black Diamond Camalots are only overcammed when the tips of the lobes cross each other when seated. No crag swag to be had I'm afraid! :)

[@justasifineversinned]

Ah damn!

[@BananaMassive]

Nice footage, what camera did you use?

[@halfarsedstudio]

Thank you! It was shot using a GoPro 3 Black edition

Gear Gobbler.

VS ?!! Looks at least HVS !!

[@PaulSinghSelhi-VFX-TUTORIALS]

Perhaps the ample ability to place protection nuts and cams gives it the VS. Yeah if you fall on the HVS' under clifton bridge you are gonna swing like a suburban housewife.

[@halfarsedstudio]

I guess it's based on the gear being good but the climbing doesn't feel like your average VS. Bit of a sandbag!

[@PaulSinghSelhi-VFX-TUTORIALS]

@@halfarsedstudio But oh it looks like Paradise..never went there..hopefully will get back into climbing next summer. I have not climbed for some 30 years !! And was more of a caver anyway. Hit 60 in a couple of weeks and feel as fit as a butchers dog.

Jamming your nuts into a crack of a well worn route and knowing she is there to challenge, thrill and entertain you.. You are shitt8ng yourself every second but you think you can fool her that you are calm and in control. There is NOTHING like the caress of rock when you take up her challenge..BUT ALWAYS HAVE A PARTNER YOU CAN TRUST..WITH YOUR LIFE.
