Fourth climb I ever did back in 1969, hawser laid rope tied around waist and wearing Hawkins walking boots LOL, fond memories of mountain days, keep climbing.

[@TheClimbingNomads]

thank you

[@kenthill8489]

Great memories of doing GA in the 60s😅

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Such a great route 👍

[@TG-pd3ft]

another great video guys - thanks. I've climbed that a few years ago and remember being a bit disappointed as although there are some great pitches it felt a bit disjointed to me and was also (and you guys skillfully avoided this) crowded which I detest. These days I prefer to scramble Nor Nor or Bastow Buttresses and watch and listen to those climbing GA

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thanks Freddie, yep can see how the crowds would ruin the experience. Glad you liked the video, thanks for commenting 👍🏼

[@ianbird6997]

Again cracking route need to go back and climb that one again 😀👍

[@TheClimbingNomads]

👌 great route, especially when the weather is stunning!

[@m1hax]

Wonderful! 😊

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thank you! 😊

[@jameshewitt8828]

Loved the video guys, and I loved the route, did it a couple of years ago, gagging for a repeat this year hopefully

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thank you :) was a great route! Hope you get back out on it in some good weather!

[@stevebower1393]

get hand jammin in the cracks with that massive watch !!!

[@humbertogoncalves2373]

Very good climbing video. 😀👍 I wanted to ask you what is the best backpack for muiltpich dmm zenith vs petzl bug?

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thank you Humberto, glad you liked it. We have used both the Zenith and the Bug for multipitch climbing and they are both great bags. The Petzl Bug has the advantage that you can carry a rope over the top and secure it with the side straps. This is much hard to do with the Zenith due to the slopping lid and lack of side straps. We have never dropped anything out of the Bug bag on a stance but the zenith is a bit more of bucket, which makes it slightly easier getting things in and out without other bits falling out. Hope that helps a bit 👍 Brett & Sophie

[@cockneybuddhist4713]

Did it when I was about 27, I'm 68 now!

[@TheClimbingNomads]

it's a great route! hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!

[@cockneybuddhist4713]

@@TheClimbingNomads Yes, I did enjoy it, only wish I could do it again sometime but I don't think it's going to happen. BTW, have you climbed Amphitheatre Butress? That's a nice one but a bit remote

Where can I buy this gravity-defying adhesive you two apply to your hands and feet? I've had enough of this pesky gravitational field that surrounds the planet.
