How cool s that... Steve comes n asks you to climb. My grade would immediately get +1 for that exam :)

[@keithmorgan3929]

My best day ever: Foil, Left Wall, Cemetery Gates, Cenotaph Corner and Resurrection* * possibly one of the 3 best E4 wall climbs in Britain.

Brit Climbing is sooo inspiring! Now i see a lot of bolted routes which should have been left for trad.

[@paulmitchell5349]

...and too many routes that were done as trad that have been retrobolted without permission..Also,too many bolted projects have been chipped.

[@Andy-lq6zw]

Outstanding!!!!!

[@Greebstreebling]

could I suggest you play some scary music for the top part of left wall? :) :)

Tadej looks like a young Mark Leach.

I have a question maybe some of you can answer: why when I watch these European climbing videos, are they usually using 2 ropes instead of just one?

[@robertnewell4054]

It’s British Traditional Technique, not European. It’s very handy in Trad Climbing & big Multi•Pitch routes

[@ianthomas2728]

Sometimes it’s safer to ascend and quicker to descend with double ropes. Can shorten falls and reduce rope drag.

[@jasperray6576]

If there is gear spaced out left and right, having twin ropes reduces drag

[@paulrhodesquinn]

As mentioned before, it really helps rope drag, also handy for abseiling down when you can tie the two ropes together.

[@marcchrys]

UK climbs generally don't have a line of bolts, so natural gear placements are more spaced out.. so two ropes reduces drag.
