Glad aidan said Little Women is actually not that easy. I was under the impression it was

[@Crimp476]

The emotional confusion of Wedge on a rainy rest day. It's so cozy, yet worringly psych-inducing.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅 sorry for the mixed signals!

[@SpartaSpartan117]

I never know whether to save them for a rest day to keep me motivated or watch them on a project day to help me try hard.

[@tycrabs]

As an American, I just can't get over how polite you all sound. Even when he was at his wit's end he still sounds so lovely.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅

[@LemonLimeFlavoured]

Jesus christ shadow women is the most brutal battle of a boulder I've ever seen. Unreal. Aiden is a beast.

[@kavali6320]

Watching Aidan move never ceases to amaze me. Congrats on sending Shadow Women and the other boulders. Well done, whole wedge team ;)

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed 😁

This video is the embodiment of “chill”, meanwhile you’re doing stuff that’s got no chill xd

[@duuplo]

Was probably his rest day between two board sessions

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

😅 not far off...

[@raphaelmardinli9921]

Thanks to Aidan, and to you emphasizing it, I now know that an 8B+ is actually not very easy 😂 Thanks again for the great video. Not commenting all of them, but definitely watching all of them, often more than once!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Happy to clarify 😉 Thanks for watching 😁

[@user-bx4zq7fx7e]

Back to back training hard and sending hard 🔥 Wedge be on the grind, thanks for the awesome content!

Insane tension on Shadow Women 🤯

So chill guys. Excellent production. Shadow Women....mwah

Hey look, it's psych for training, handy. 10/10

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Glad it got you psyched 💪💪

[@dave990]

Love this content, 5 star. KOT is well hard for a 7c, that lh sloper is notorious for cutting my ring finger on attempts. Shout out to my boi Ishaan in the background getting featured on a Wedge video. Ya legend 💪

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks! Yeah it's well hard 😅 Got to be one of the hardest 7Cs in the UK

[@jacktrussler20]

Amazing stuff as always, love to see everyone crushing it! Also, the choice to cut the music at 2:23 for his ascent was amazing. Such a calm and peaceful climb. Amazing quality, wedge!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@hermannwigers8321]

If this is the stuff he climbs during the heat of summer I'm really curious about what he has been up to this spring. Absolute savage!

[@sethgilbertson2474]

I wanna see Aidan out in AZ with Matt Gentile on some of those insane roof boulders he's done out there. ❤

[@herbiejohnson]

This is my favourite vid yet. The editing, pacing, cinematography and lake district bouldering is top notch!

Thanks so much!

Beautiful video chaps ! Love to see it 🦾

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Cheers Tom!

[@DaseinClimbs]

I find it crazy that Aidan climbs so hard and is so quiet while climbing. You expect some power screams with how hard those moves are. Amazing video and sends!

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@longb1913]

if he can do that he might as well do shadowplay

[@jdsalbion]

If only it existed

[@pdude1911]

You guys are awesome! So inspiring. Much love from HOLLAND.

Had already seen it was up, but didn't have 'proper' time to sit down and enjoy this new episode.. As always, psyche inducing and mind blowing! (and really quite hard..)

That intro is incredible 🔥

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks!

[@mishamc93]

Very relatable to hear Sam say “I’m over it” after battling the whole session, and then still pulling it together to send a hard line. Legend. The highlight though was Aidan’s FA of Shadow Women. What a show of body tension on mingin’ holds. Always so impressive. Do we know how long he’d been eyeing off that extension? Cheers for the great content as always.

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Thanks Misha! I think Aidan had a handful of sessions on it over the last year or so

So...... Shadowplay FA incoming?

[@richardbradley1532]

Ouch

[@jackandrew-q9e]

Just driven through France for 6 hours to get to the holiday villa, cracked open the bottle of red and checked my phone to see this notification… 👌 👨‍🍳 Edit whilst watching: Dalt Wood Roof! That’s near the grange campsite near the bowderstone? me and my pal stay there when we make out annual pilgrimage to see if we’re still weaklings. Legit thought it was called “Dat Wood Boulder” on UKC

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

Hope you enjoyed the vid 💪 That's the one!

[@jamesriley648]

If you’re keen on some hard trad. There’s the (as I understand it) unclimbed soaring arete feature above the Cumbrian on Esk Buttress. Even as a top rope project as per Wizard’s Ridge this would be a great accomplishment 👍💯

[@dannygrout92]

At some point you need to have Adain explain the history of Shadow Play for those not in the know. My guess is Shadow women could be 8c+ anywhere else right ?

[@lawsong6663]

it looks well ard

TorniquetWomen when ?

Reverse down shadow play to get to the start holds 💪

[@joolsgrommers1466]

Is Shadow Women the first boulder that uses Shadow Play holds? (how many moves does Aidan think are possible on SP?)

[@WEDGECLIMBING]

I guess it depends on you're view point on shadow play... But potentially yes. Not sure on how many moves

No, it's a limited edition scarpa called the Instinct LE. They haven't been released yet though 👍

@@WEDGECLIMBING CHEERS FOR THE REPLY MATE MUCH EXCITE!!!

[@konkelkent]

Why not just use like an angle grinder/chisel and some drills to create ur own lines on the boulders? like if something is missing etc or feels like it should be added and that change turns it from impossible to possible/very fun? just a crimp. pocket or w/e? sure dont ruin someone elses, but if youre finding or trying to create new ones why not, its just boulders after all youre not destroying a mountain..

[@robertcreer8826]

Someone will be able to do it as it is one day.

[@razzanator06]

I’m a sense the rock is everyone’s so you are ruining it for the next gen of freaks that could get it done. Way too many rocks out there to start destroying routes so you can tick it off.
