The Strongest Rock Climber VS Crack Climbing

[@WideBoyz]

Massive thanks to Stefano for joining us for this video, and we really hope a few sessions of pure jamming helps on Silence :D Make sure to check out and subscribe to Stefano's channel here www.youtube.com/@steghiso

Massive shoutout to the Dexters Dyna Stix candies @ 6:58. Keeping sugar levels optimal for those sends.

Thank you for the jam session, it has been amazing! Next time I want you on Excalibur! 🎉

[@RBepic]

When will we see Ondra in the cellar?

[@jono6379]

You should let people know on the community page for anyone that hasn't seen it the wideboyz doco is now available on Chris alstrins youtube channel. I only got into your videos fairly recently and hadn't seen it before and it was amazing to see what you were accomplishing a decade ago.

[@vincentcolavin]

I love that a cobbled-together cellar in Sheffield has turned into a legendary climbing destination frequented by the greatest of all time. Great stuff.

[@rdtarcade7644]

is it though? to me it seems more like an unfunny meme from a group of nerds who think crack is the peak of climbing and watch these guys religiously

Pete, I have been thinking this for a long time. I consume a lot of climbing related content on youtube, but noone puts a giant smile on my face like you do. Your attitude and positive way of interacting with others makes every wide boyz video extremely enjoyable to me. Thank you very much kind sir! You Are A Legend.

[@RobDHamilton]

It's just unreal to me that all of these legendary climbers are learning crack climbing in this crazy cellar that wouldn't look out of place in a horror movie! Just incredible stuff from you guys and a joy to watch.

[@AndyGumpster]

Can you please upload a 6 hour uncut version of this. I need SO MUCH more of this in my life.

[@muninraven3327]

Came here due to Toby from Storror and stuck around for the genuinely interesting content. Loving being introduced to new people that are wonderful at what they do. I have never had any time for any "sport" represented in the modern Olympics, but hands together for the off beat sports that have so much good vibes and community representing.

[@meganwong9508]

So cool to see others down in the cellar! It’s interesting to get an idea of differences in morpho and just how quickly a Stefano is able to pick up and translate his skills into other styles of climbing. Thank you for the great collab and can’t wait to see the next vid!

Stefano is one of those few guys that for some reason are underrated, but when it comes to power endurance he's probably among the top 3 in the world. He's ridiculously strong.

[@leoingson]

He's top 1 in power endurance :)

[@ernestroura2595]

even maybe top 1

[@leoingson]

With some more cellar work, he could even get into top 0!

[@TristanCleveland]

Is he underrated? Isn't he one of the best-known climbers out there?

[@TristanCleveland]

@@leoingson Surely Seb is #1, no?

[@aarongarrett4184]

Pete smiling at the camera saying "I love crack" gave me a lot of joy. It might have to be a notification sound 😅

[@clown5911]

Good to see you guys luring more people into the crack cellar :D I also love all the extremely hostile motivational messages written on the walls.

[@dkitt-1]

Great collab Pete. Well worth waiting for! Stefano is insanely good, but the "Pleasure Loop" remains undefeated from the "Flash"!

[@sambeard4428]

I've only watched a minute of this video yet but it's so nice to see Pete standing next to Stefano with such a big smile. He's definitely very honored to have him as a guest and to be able to share his knowledge on his big passion, crack climbing (in a filthy cellar).

[@PAYNEKILLER..]

I just watched the wide boys documentary, I shed a tear and laughed a lot. Pete is the funniest person on earth without even trying to be funny. He has a very magnetic personality, you can tell he has truly earned everything he's achieved. Tom is cool too. 😅

Awesome, thanks to you both. Literally my two favourite climbers to watch

[@ejl74]

[@satanaz]

did you guys ever imagined when you first started climbing at the cellar that you'd be bringing the best climbers in the world to practice there? That must be mind blowing hahahaha

Would love some longer videos where you chill in the cellar! Great stuff, almost therapeutic. Cheers from Norway!

[@kevedwards]

There’s been some amazing content already this year, these Colabs have been brilliant across all the main channels. Keep it up guys.

Great stuff Stefano. Another legend in the cellar working on crack.

[@tranquil_slime870]

Did you guys end up completing the Crucifix? If not, are you still working it long-term or has it kind of faded into the "future project" graveyard? It's an absolutely legendary beast crack and I'm cheering for an ascent, but because it's so obscure and it was/is really just you guys working it, I've had loads of trouble finding information about it. Awesome collaboration! I'm glad to see another of the world's strongest in the cellar learning the joys of crack. It's crazy how fast these guys progress! I remember looking at the easiest crack in my gym and thinking "how in the world can someone climb that? And it's only rated 5.9!" and here I am, many months after finding your videos and two weeks after buying Pete's book and practicing my jamming, barely able to make it up the half thin hands(because I have beefy hands), half perfect hands 5.9 vertical (both ways) splitter at my gym. The speed they pick it up at is incredible! Great watch, looking forward (as always) to seeing more from you guys.

[@Nick-B78]

Those one-arm pull-ups was insane! 🤯💪

[@Quilt82]

So at 7:13, I have to ask whether Dexter's Strawberry Dyna Stix are really good? Are they a licorice treat?

[@sessionmediaa]

They’re absolutely exceptional. I take them on every shoot. If you can find them the larger ones in the plastic bag are better than the ones in the box but these are good too. They’re vegan and full of all the essential goodness to push pro climbers to their limits. If Dexter himself is watching please get in touch with Cameraman Pete, he spends a lot of money on them and would be happy to shoe horn them into more videos for more sweet sweet pencils! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@hidden_sense9839]

Awesome that more and more beasts get into crack climbing! Maybe there is a roof crack out there that Stefano could campus ;). What's the hardest trad route ever campused? That might be a record that could get Stefano hooked (but you have to turn him into a trad climber too...)

[@johnmcmillen4540]

First time crack climbing? That's nuts. Stefano is really top notch also when it comes to versatility...

[@bestewa]

Wow, all the legends - you guys really deliver on this channel o.O

[@1lomi901]

Stefano mentioning overgripping is nice. I'm finally starting to understand it aswell as a beginner with stuff around 6B-6C and it feels great to "relax" on hard hold because you "understand it" You mentioned the short list of people doing 9B... And I'm wondering if there are not hidden talents somewhere in the wild that are capable of doing those routes and will simply never try them out...

[@clementcousin5278]

People would probably say that most if not all world cup winners (lead) could do it physically. The mental aspect of projecting over several weeks is something else though.

[@ThatLaggyNoob]

Tomoa Narasaki has more than enough strength for a 9b. Janja Garnbret definitely has the potential to tick one too, she just hasn't tried projecting one for very long. Jimmy Webb could've when he was a bit younger, not sure about if he could now. There are probably more.

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

As a casual observer, I find the (9b+ /9c) routes equally impressive and silly. Impressive, because it's obviously super hard and requires a lot of skill. Silly, because it's very hard to repeat them for most people, purely for logistical (/financial) reasons.

[@HansMaximum]

[@drphalanges1520]

I was very interested to hear the discussion about tall vs short. I'm 6'6" (198 cm) and I've been climbing one time so far. I definitely felt like I almost had an unfair advantage, at least when it came to topping out. I could reach almost halfway up the boulder wall. But even though I'm skinny, I'm deceptively heavy. I weigh 220 pounds (99 kg) and I got pumped really hard really fast. I'll definitely need to step up my arm exercises before I go again.
