Just reinforces how good Johnny Dawes was.

Time that people acknowledged Face Mecca and Nick Dixon more often.

[@apostatepaul]

A tremendous effort! Brilliant video.

[@mohammadlevy9668]

How in hell can anyone thumbs down this vid?? Way to know yourself Angus!!

[@JamesOStanworth-Wang]

Great interview. Guess the thumbs down is for the camera work that really short-changes the viewer.

[@nopro_films]

for now, fun is the only climbing related consequence i'm willing to take! but man...this climbs are epic!

[@brianhackit7900]

Great interview and what a climb! I can barely hear him though.

[@user-jj9jk6nb9e]

Any chance of a video about how to solo top rope as Angus mentioned? I've always wondered how the best way to do it is.

[@vansflyfishing2746]

Micro traction pulley devices work pretty well, made by petzel. Even a gri gri will work for rope soloing. Do some research and you can find many ways and devices to rope solo safely

[@davidsimpson3885]

dave macLeod has a good tutorial on how he does, have tried this out myself on a couple of Projekts and got to say it is the best way to top rope solo that i've found to date,

[@jcrotty18]

Hard core!

[@ZeUbinator]

Great interview, but for the love of god why didn't you rotate the video...

[@dailyclimbing]

ZeUbinator it was filmed at he crag in landscape on a phone, not by us. When we looked to rotate it, it changed the perspective too much, made it look like a walk. The decision was made to keep it like that to better portray the climb, and stay true to the ‘in the moment feel’ of the recording.

[@JEdit23]

Fascinating interview, but I question if the gear is so bad the difference between this kind of very sketchy trad and free soloing...

[@dailyclimbing]

JEdit23 we asked Angus about this. He said it was mainly a psychological thing. Also...you never know about the gear, it might just hold!

[@muscularibuprofen69]

Agreed, at least in free soloing there isn't a shadow of a doubt to your options off the ground. You must need a head of steel to block out any possibility of falling on gear. I can only imagine, which is why I'm happy watching incredible ascents like this!

[@bobbypatton4903]

We'll, in my experience the people most likely to dabble in freesoloing are traditional climbers, and you'd unlikely see a sport climber try freesoloing.

[@cookygy3494]

bro I've climbed with him

[@andrew30m]

Fascinating, thanks for your thoughts
