Kevin Jorgeson, Matt Segal and Alex Honnold send big on British grit

[@KP-ol3tc]

Saw this when it was new and have never forgotten, takes me back to early YT days

[@jrblackify]

You can watch the rope as Kevin falls off the top of Gaia... Alex reels in a good armful and it means the difference between a scary but safe fall and two broken legs. Alex is good at more than just climbing!!

[@ZerolinGD]

looked like he actually ran back a little bit, lol

[@drewcunningham8380]

what a catch....wow !!! I thought he was going to crater for sure.....I know were I in that position, my half awake and baked climbing partners would most definitely have not been paying near enough attention and I surely would have broken my leg and left a serious crater full of blood and entrails....excellent heads up Alex !!

[@Bl00dyto]

Que joyita! Gracias por compartir!

[@Tom-su9kc]

Brings back my youth of living in Sheffield and watching these routes get sent. A time before it all got a bit weird.

[@SamThom88]

That is some fine belaying, not many folk are that good

[@clayounderwood]

man, from 2:30 Jorgeson starts to run out.. what a great belayer. whoa

[@BrettOwens24]

What is the song? I really want to get it! Awesome beats!!

[@chaseybears]

Great vid..and great climbing....its good to see some of the best Yanks enjoying Brit grit...me thinks they have sum Derbyshire/ Yorkshire blood in there veins. Luv to know what they think of Mr Dawes routes.

[@robbiesize]

Me too, was scared for the guy falling off Gaia. Amazing climber, bit of a charger like Dawes himself!! Honnollt looks too talk.... Cheater!

[@robbiesize]

Tall

[@crus1n]

Yes welcome to England you guys, come back anytime👍👍👍

[@BrettOwens24]

I agree, what are the songs on this video? such good beats

[@TheGoemies]

I'm a bit puzzled as to why he wouldn't put some gear in at 2:22 ... would have diminished his chances of hitting the deck considerably. Indeed a perfect catch though.

[@alfonz1986]

There are no gear placements higher up. Watch any other video of 'Gaia E8 6c' and you'll see the same gear.

[@akseli9]

Excellent!!!

[@jackkennerley4227]

its 2020 has anyone found the song yet??

[@TheVanillatech]

Darude - Sandstone

[@mattdolan]

what's this song called

[@davidfierro1233]

3 Monsters !

[@IanBuffington]

I. Need. This. Song. I know it's b-minus, but I still can't find it.

[@ovomusic]

That Gia fall is just so terrifying.

[@shaked3675]

3:30 holy fuck bros !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Squids_Vlogs]

@jacobboyd06 oh ok so the "grit" belay is when the belayer must do what they did 4 alex and kevin when they r a dangerous runout to were if he didnt back up as far as possible he'l hit the deck... "wink"

[@streetmirage]

Cool vid!

[@simonblurton8009]

Bold.

[@jacobboyd06]

@WeBeChillin420 all climbs in the grit are poorly protected so theres always a chance you will deck. So its up to the belayer to run as the climber is falling so that they can pull out the slack quickly. In this case, his options are fall or run down hill however ;)

[@skateordieseven20]

alex honnold kinda looks like justin long, if you get the right angle on his face. sick climber, too.

[@IsmaelSilVig]

You are thinking about Kevin Jorgeson.

[@jordansheffield6281]

is Alex wearing a cowboy hat....?

[@BerndThomasSchuller]

Gaia is insane ...

[@hardcore_hobo127]

Why are you panning out at the crux... :(

[@mrklaw1844]

0:37 Wait, Alex is a hipster.

[@ml.2770]

360p, who needs anything more.

[@MartinHodgkins]

I am surprised these Americans can do grit so well. Hard grit should need lots of practice you would think.

[@whiteyfisk9769]

Lol in Britian you tea drinkers have to have a loincense to own grit. So dont lecture anyone on grit

[@alexanderbonnet3494]

That means taking a Risk…..unbelievable in times of Corona!

[@platter1000]

good video but i wsh it had had a closer vid of end of the affair. long run out, someone slap a bolt in it

[@shaunlewis5792]

Bolting grit is a bit like kissing your sister!

[@menakles]

@@shaunlewis5792 "kissing your sister"...totally acceptable in some parts of The Peak

[@MindSurf248]

Definitley some bait to try and trigger people 😂
