Training At Most Hazardous Home Climbing Gym

Wide Boyz build more training facilities to train on before their up coming crack climbing trip to America. Ollie Torr makes a guest appearance without realising what he's getting himself into.
They build a new finger crack and ring lock crack and dig in with their first session just a few weeks before leaving.

I love that we've got two coaches taping Pete's hands into little lobster claws so he doesn't cheat - not something I ever thought I'd see - but I'm glad I did! Haha amazing stuff as always.

[@Adam-rm5cm]

The Cray ring more like the crayon eh

[@marshalltucker9690]

please don't grind with gloves on, if it snags a thread you can mangle the appendage.

[@McGirr5799]

maybe caldwell needs a friend?

[@dave_h_8742]

Had a lad in my class who sanded his fingers at school flesh and blood on the big sanding disc, fun times.

[@dave_h_8742]

Marshall Tucker yes can knacker fingers or rip one off or even de-glove a finger to the bone.

[@WideBoyz]

That's a very valid point

[@ethan6627]

2:00 dont use gloves while operating a grinder or disc sander, etc. while it will protect you from small scratches if your glove gets caught in the machine your hand is super fucked.

[@spirit3004]

I love that you still use the O-grading system. Always cracks me up.

[@samuelprescott7426]

How does it work?

@@samuelprescott7426 Its the number of sessions it would take for Adam Ondra to finish the problem.

[@Bobbzorzen]

love how these people literally sell crack trainers/holds and they still feel the need to make some weird frankenstein's monster type deal :'D Amazing episode, glad to have learned about the lobster ring technique!

[@WideBoyz]

😂 there's a big difference from what Tom does in his garden and what happens in the Wide Boyz company (and lattice company) with products...thank goodness haha

[@danieljensen2626]

Clearly wide boys need to start selling a ring lock trainer.

[@JonnyDavidC]

At least we know Tom isn't stealing company inventory for his own use.

[@Bobbzorzen]

@@JonnyDavidC haha true! :D

[@rolfnilsen6385]

"I cut it twice and it is still too short". This was pretty cool actually. Showing the setup and approach for the specific training to be done.

[@RemusKnowles]

I'm impressed the garden board is still standing! It was scary standing under it 5 years ago!

[@WideBoyz]

😂 i can't believe it stayed standing after it's relocation down the garden

[@ZoniacMan]

outside climbing board in the UK is the most optimistic thing I've seen in a long time. If you wanted it to keep dry atleast.

[@Sam.Cordaro]

This video was so awesome and funny to watch, would love to see more like it

[@perzoorgasmatron4914]

Measure once, cut twice! 😂😂😂🤘💪. Btw, I've talked to every climbing gym in my town if they could set some cracks. Answer: No, there is no demand! Bloody weak links. No bother, will build one at my house! 😂🤘. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck at the Indian Creek

[@bazwax77]

If you’re ever in Edinburgh……’Alien Bloc’ has a cheeky crack.💪🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Bummer that's some sad setters

It will come soon 🙂

Same answer at mine. So boring

This is the best climbing wall ever! It's message is, anybody can build one! Thanks for that!

[@llamalover04]

love seeing the training set up! is there a "tick list" for the upcoming trip?

[@WideBoyz]

Try everything that's fun and hard. That's my plan (pete) 🙂

[@tylerheitmann1758]

Got a couple thousand dollars worth of rotten lattice rungs on that wall

[@georgestone8099]

You guys love choss so much your training boards even have it..

[@subliska7210]

Pete's fingers are so beefy, his hands don't even look real. Great video as always!

[@WideBoyz]

They have been confused with sausages 😅

[@chrishill5511]

I thought I had fat fingers. Then I saw Pete's.

[@131CE]

This video could be sponsored by someone that makes tetanus vaccine!

[@danieljensen2626]

I did notice the cheeky pinky getting some extra grip!

[@JohnSmith-om3dk]

Pete's pinkies look like thumbs and looks like his hands are on backwards

[@geraintjones6401]

The measuring wasn't pointless - it was the precursor to perfection. Great job fellas.

[@SBAndrew28]

wearing those gloves at the grinder gets me worried it'll catch and you'll get de-gloved

[@travislayes6024]

Those ring locks look soo difficult with that smooth edge wood. Wicked

[@WideBoyz]

Yeh defintely a little tricky the edge felt quite rounded and flaring. Ringte locks is defintely a weakness so there is always plenty to train and learn 😀

[@MrGmaloq]

@@WideBoyz there’s a lovely roundabout in Barcelona with what look to me like a lot of nice ring locks cracks (I’m no expert thought) you should check it out if you are in town ! It’s called plaça de botticelli

[@gavinswift]

Measure once, cut twice.... then just whack in a block. It'll be reyt!

[@wixic111]

This has the same energy as me setting up rope swings in the barn outside the house I grew up in. Entertaining and hillariously dangerous.

[@bobcraig573]

Question from a noncrack addict, always wondered what it's like falling while jamming. Surely it would just wreck the wrists?

[@bobcraig573]

@Mischa Hawker-Yates thanks man!

[@tomlees7671]

Psyched to see you getting to O2. Out of interest, what O grade do you think Recovery Drink is itself?

[@Airsofter3009]

I would say around O5 or O6.

[@jessicagrace5625]

Hahaha Ollie 😂 Who knew the key was pretaping your finger positions 🤣🤣

[@larathompson1981]

Just after discovering your channel in the first summer of covid, I used my first real ring lock and it was all: OH! _that's_ how it works! It's great!

[@j616s]

Would you buy a climbing wall or crack volumes off these guys??? 😂

[@JL-pc2eh]

As the proverb goes: "The cobbler has the worst shoes". But I agree, that looked dangerous and doesn't create a good image.

[@j616s]

@@JL-pc2eh I'm totally not questioning their products or the image of those. I own crack trainers & gloves and quality is first rate. This vid is just totally on-brand and hilarious. More so for the context :)

[@eloytoro]

this is exactly why i tape my thumb against my palm when im going cracking

[@izerath001]

4:52 is that someone's ringtone or did someone step on a screw? sounded painful

[@hidden_sense9839]

That board looks like tetanus is the booster shot you need ;)! Best part was the "oh no, what happened??" - "It's still hard!" ;) I am thinking of putting up some wooden cracks in a roof (42-43°) and wanted to ask for tipps/advice. The boards will be ~15cm deep and relatively smooth... should I tape them? Any must-have widths (I have around 50cm in width to set up different cracks and a few meters in length)? I am a total noob and (unfortunately) not my own roof, so I could only train there a few times each year... Would be grateful for any help/advice!

[@martinsolhaugstandal7352]

Cut myself by just looking at that climbing wall. Looks dangerous!

[@TrebleWing]

Can you talk about how you use that grind wheel for your boots?

[@gtjac]

Do you have the original design for this garden board? Debating building something myself. I need more crack.

[@MusicScala]

Another just hilarious video by you guys 😂 it's so fun watching your shinanigans

[@Muck006]

That isnt "british enough" ... because there should be at least 10 warning stickers!

[@rookiemoves]

The reverse Tommy Caldwell tape job

[@Cragdognamedbear]

I will also have to try this taping method for crimpy face climbing.

[@stuff6218]

You should call it the Tetanus Board.

[@SmokeStack-yk3kz]

this looks so damn painfull to the fingers and finger joints!

[@Ganooli]

these sort of videos from you guys are my favorite.

[@julianseidenbusch]

DIY kings!

[@maryb2775]

do i know how to crack climb? no do i also want to drop everything and head out to moab in four weeks for the slight possibility of running into tom and pete? yes

[@aabeceedeeeff6076]

That's the beauty of wooden handholds. When they go out just use em for firewood or compost em. Throw em in the woods, whatever. If they're untreated wood of course. I just put my wooden holds in the compost bin when I'm done with em. Mainly from the outdoors wall, wooden holds kept indoors keeps a long while. :)

[@MusicScala]

Tom says it's the most rotten home climbing wall but I say it's just as all home walls should be 😎

[@TheNetBenji]

That's the cobra crack next to it, isn't it? That backyard wall is a history museum!

[@WideBoyz]

Yeh it's cobra with some modifications

[@aidenburrell1895]

if you guys want good cracks to train on next time you’re heading to yosemite stop by granite arch in sacramento! I’d love to see you guys on our cracks!

[@sethgilbertson2474]

Yo! You guys need to get on Dean Potter's Tombstone or Excommunicator! Epic!

[@misayre]

The beauty is you can shred yourself on almost anything if you're only willing to.
