Thanks for bringing us along Pete, these were days I’ll remember. You’re awesome

[@Miles26545]

Nice power screaming btw

[@WideBoyz]

What a week with you guys, thanks 👍 Very much looking forward to your vids too, plus the next climb together 💪

[@sofussverressnnfinne204]

It's super nice to see people go out of their comfort zone like this! Inspiring. Great video

[@jasperray6576]

This was so awesome to watch, Emil, especially when you went "this is so much fun" - I hope you continue to do some trad leads; in my opinion, there is nothing better to that focus on a hard-ish trad lead!!

[@fraz_the_mediocre]

Fair play Emil! I would definitely have shit my pants.

[@MatildaSoderlund]

Thank you so much Pete and Emil! Such epic and fun days!!

[@WideBoyz]

Thanks for a great week. Can't wait for the next climb/videos 🎉

[@balaenopteramusculus]

You smashed it! 😋

[@noonesenemy89]

You were so chill the whole time ❤

[@ThunderChunky101]

Wondeful climbing all round folks. Love this series.

[@TheMotlias]

Hearing a world class climber come to the revelation that he's "not comfortable with heights" is interesting and really shows how differnet the seperate disciplines of climbing are

[@glynwilliams13266231]

I love the fact exceptionally strong climbers are not afraid to get out of their comfort zone but also to admit to being scared. Another top video and just great content

[@abdelcassoul]

The stressed looks for approval Emil gave to Pete everytime he was placing his gear were so funny

[@mls01981]

I was half wondering if those two nuts would pop out right after Emil climbed above them. Pete -- you should have told him to use that alpine draw to extend nut placements!!!

[@kavali6320]

So cute how trad dad watched over his two eager pupils :) Wish I waited until both parts of this series were online to watch them directly one after another because now I have to wait way too long for part two.

[@WideBoyz]

Emils counter video to this (where he puts me through my paces 😅) out soon on his channel. And part 2 of this series next Sunday 💪

[@kavali6320]

@@WideBoyz Thanks, good to know ;)

[@4801534501]

Loved to see how serious Pete got when he realized Emil needed more training on abseiling. Funny moment but also very reassuring. Great coaching all around and great production Pete!

[@toddbloom5939]

emil saying 'this is fun' mid pitch is exactly what I do when I am pooping myself on lead

[@tobbetrubbel5266]

Pete running it out so that he doesn´t spoil any placements, so that Emil and Matilda learns something. That is what I call dedicated teaching. Hope to see more content with Emil and Matilda in the future this was great! - Sweden

[@cheesecake6696]

Then he uses a sling as a prusik, attaches the prusik to a gear loop and then pisses off down the wall instead of waiting to double check they were attached properly. World class teacher.😂😂 ....li hope he never teaches anyone ever again.

[@derpyduck5088]

@@cheesecake6696 Boo hoo someone does something differently than you. I hope these world class climbers who are way better than you can handle it

[@cheesecake6696]

@@derpyduck5088 one of my friends nearly fell 40 m a few years back because he attached his prusik to a gear loop. He, thankfully, managed to pull himself back to the top and spotted that the gear loop was partially torn off. Not trying to be salty. Just want to keep people who are much less experienced than these guys safe.

Trad dad, sloper connoisseur and the fingers of steel. The three horsemen of the apocalypse has finally united and the cosmic forces of levitation has been found

[@burningice7371]

Finally this series returns! Absolutely love this format.

[@snefansson]

Unexpected video after unexpected video on this channel! Such good content I've seen Matilda climb a couple of times. She's one of these annoyingly graceful climbers that just floats up difficult as heck problems Edit: What I really hope after this video is that Pete managed to convince Matilda to buy some wide boyz crack stuff to her gym because I climb there heh...

[@paulbrown2971]

I love these videos where Pete takes someone out of their comfort zone and the sense of achievement they feel after his coaching. Top stuff!

[@Krishach]

Your collabs are awesome. Would love to see Toby back on the channel as well. Or Pete and Tom on STORROR again.

[@WideBoyz]

Sit tight...😉

[@sportenapfeltorten2095]

@@WideBoyz ouuuuuuuu We are EXITED :D

[@hazelsegnitz3254]

We are waiting !!! Patiently 🤣😉

[@cabwaylingo_]

these vids where you take people on their first ever trad climb are my favorite, it's so fun to see them go through the entire spectrum of emotions, from fear and confusion to elation and relief, especially the feelings of "shit do i even trust the gear i placed myself? i don't think i do" bc i think everyone feels like that on their first lead lol

[@jamesclaudejones]

Loved this video. Great job Emil and Matilda getting out of your comfort zone and climbing something new. As aspiring climbers, our family loved watching this video.

[@andrewhunter6536]

Socks and backpack climbing, next Pete will get them to rack up with hexes. The joyous ringing of cowbells to propel them up the climb. Great video!

[@AnttiAlajuuma]

Needs more cowbell!

[@clown5911]

Always interesting to see such strong and skilled climbers so out of their comfort zone on the wall.

[@jaimseygirl2594]

Three of my favs in one video. 😍😍 Congrats to Emil and Matilda on their first trad. Pete seems like such a calming coach.

[@maxblair3317]

I liked this video mostly because of that hand jam Emil did. You did say the viewers would love that...

[@Miles_To_Go]

Can't wait to see the next one! It's great to see climbers who are very good feel like I feel on a trad climb. So exciting!

[@sachaEnthoven]

incredible video, Emil is kind of my model, his strength is unbelivable, well done !

[@WideBoyz]

Emil and Matilda were both awesome 😎

[@ayuminor]

Refreshing my feed every couple of hours, waiting for the next part of this series to go live 😬

[@WideBoyz]

Sunday 💪

[@Balgore8]

Matilde is super cute, i dig her energy. Surprised i haven't seen her before. She's super humble in her talking, but you can see in her climbing that she's very confident and experienced.

[@Leandroltz]

This was so much fun to watch! Having both Emil and Matilda coming from two different styles/experiences was interesting! 😊❤

[@FtwXXgigady]

I feel like we should just play that v14 dyno clip every time Emil's name is mentioned. I've seen it in every crossover he's done lmao

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

Trad Climbing = Free solo with extra steps 🤣 Lovely video and impressive footage Pete!

[@princenabby1]

I love everything about this video, from the concept and content through to the filming and editing. In addition to being a top notch climber, Pete is also an excellent mentor and teacher.

[@benlane9970]

amazing video, great to see a world class climber be a beginner again, reminds us they're human too

[@etdrefiel]

I looove these videos! So much of the content nowadays are just indoor climbing, so to get to watch some proper trad climbing is wonderful!

[@muninraven3327]

My introduction to Emil and Matilda. Very amiable people. Great vibes and a superb video.

[@hydra66]

I really thought Emil was used to this stuff. Props to them both for committing to it

[@PelleKuipers]

Really cool to see them being scared like that. I recently flew to Arizona to climb there. First time climbing outside, first time USA, first time trad climbing and first time doing a multi-pitch. It was fun and it's inspiring to see how they dealt with this trad-route. I haven't lead a route yet but I hope to next time (although that will be a sport route first).

[@Android480]

I know this style of video takes a ton of effort, but man it’s so good. I love it

[@thatmessylife6427]

Omg I could never do this! The way they jump and move so effortlessly I would be frozen in fear!

[@hikingleigh]

loved this video. so happy to see Emil work through his fears and what a nice 2nd pitch he led!

[@asterixzm]

GJ everyone! Congratz! Pete is awesome, making triple work: control, train and filming

[@johnmcho]

I've been watching both of you guys for I don't know how long and it's good to see you work to gether to teach/learn a new skill. I remember my first trad adventure in Yosemite and just last week I took my first newb up a trad route.

[@M0dElite]

Wow, such an unexpected video again! Looking forward to the second day. Hopefully we get to see some proper jamming action! Especially Matilda looked surprisingly comfortable, even as she said she felt like free soloing.

[@WideBoyz]

Matilda has climbed really hard multipitch sport. Check out her recent ascent of Rayu 💪

[@M0dElite]

@@WideBoyz Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that out! ☺

[@TheRedWon]

So cool seeing Emil turn into a trad climber during this video, going from completely sketched out to "I think that's a bomber wire, whatever that means" to "This is so much fun" to "Oh, it's a bit run out *shrug* interesting"

[@Theboardbro]

Such a fantastic collab video!!

[@Arcnaught]

What a chill video, I'm psyched for the next one and pretty much everything you guys put out!

great video! man i feel so pumped to eventually do my first trad climb, thanks for the inspiration pete!

10:02 anybody else hear what I'm hearing? lol

[@nicolasbordier1275]

So cool...and it remembers me so much ,stuggling when placing gear,the few times i dared to do that ,a looong time ago!!! 'can't wait for day 2...!!

[@ayuminor]

Emil faffing about with the cam like it's some sort of alien probe had me rolling haha

[@dr.badass702]

As a trad dad, videos like this make me feel like I wasted years of my life as a snobby New Hampshire traditionalist, eschewing the gym, bouldering, and sport climbing. I feel like the true path is to get really strong in the gym and bouldering, and then just learn jamming and trad skills over a few days. Such regret.

[@freverdeyen3762]

Amazing video! Looking forward to more!

[@zigzagarisen]

So fun watching Emil get out of his comfort zone!!

[@Miles26545]

Awesome video, I love the stuff of taking people on routes and styles they’re not used to

[@bbb-xe6nq]

Hey, amazing video! Just wanted to say I wish the shots in the second pitch of matilda’s lead ascent, when Pete was filming from directly above, should have been turned upside down. Maybe it was just me though. Thanks for the effort of putting such a cool video together.

[@crabbiboi5528]

Pretty crazy to just start plugging gear without some serious practice. I saw one placement that looked pretty tipped out. They did good tho. This video is top notch!!

[@evertvanharten3193]

I would love to have seen a similar perspective as with toby. The go pro setup really gave good perspective to the person climbing.

[@tiquays9342]

8:23 Just place wherever's comfortable, then next shot Matilda is halfway up her first trad lead with only three pieces in 😮 what a beast!

[@chrisstaniforth5629]

Awesome watch!! Nice to see this ❤

[@mattbaker1683]

Sling as a prusik? Better than no backup but I'd rather not use dyneema. Love how green these pro climbers are when out of their element, Emily with the helmet on backwards 😂😂😂 and how you asked when at the top if they know how to abseil 😂😂😂 bloody hilarious.

[@Trad_IsRad]

The second placement at the start 😭

[@hidden_sense9839]

What a great video! When Emil said "I feel like that's a bomber placement" the silence from Pete 'sounded' to me like "And I don't want to hurt your feelings, Emil" ;) (Placement did not seem that bad though, but I'm not a trad climber (yet?) )

[@fndmaioli]

I completely lost it at 8:56. Amazing video!!

[@benregan-bryant1416]

Epic. Can't wait to get out of the gym and onto trad climbs

[@TheEjuMas]

Please make sure you go with someone who knows what they are doing if you're just starting out. Practice everything on the ground first. You will see that your logic circuit will shut down once you're staring down a cliff. Practicing in a safe environment and an experienced partner will help you survive and have fun.

[@tallailama]

great video thanks. I would love see a crash curse video about trad climbing .:D

[@olliebarker9979]

To many cams. Bring out the nuts and hexes!

[@richardbradley1532]

My thoughts exactly. A good nut is very calming.

[@ilickspam]

i'm so excited to see the next video

[@kennethduncan4643]

That hand jam from Emil was a thirst trap

[@jingyangteoh685]

Climbing ability is the first defense. Mathilda and Emil climbed with so much available bandwidth, that it made "going out on your first trad multi (minus anchor building)" look so trivial, when it totally isn't.

[@ThewickedVik]

Such a fun wholesome watch!

[@GrantWood.]

As someone who works at a gym sponsored by MadRock, it makes me cringe seeing Emil lace up some phoenix’s 😂 That will be the first and last climb in those shoes😅

[@fontventures8398]

Soo good to see Emil get scared haha. Its what I feel like on the wall most days haha

[@seanmcguire61]

[@thomasreeves5580]

Lovely port and starboard ropework.

[@michelefiocca8275]

Ever heard of factor 2 falls? Even if the difficulty is way below your limit you shouldn’t run out too much at the beginning of a pitch

[@DanielDobbelstein]

Absolutely awesome content!

[@janhauf3393]

Thats such a wonderful video ❤

[@antrumkfpsalatschleuder8768]

Never imagined that such strong climbers never climbed a multi pitch!

[@simonwilliams9850]

Do you ever get people to fall on the gear Pete? Could help someone like Emil not only with the nerves but learning good placement

[@matteifroelich1711]

Prusik attached to the leg loop… classic haha 19:40

[@2rfg949]

ha classic Kruk. I just watched that video again a few days ago! Cedar almost ended up with a dirty Sanchez.

[@BlueEyesWhiteTeddy]

Pete you gotta do double overhand! That makes it so when it fails it's the rope and not the knot!

[@tatecorbridge914]

having someone lead trad when they don’t even know how to rack an alpine draw seems risky

[@mtnrgr275]

This video made me feel like the old trad dad that I am. I do every climb with a backpack and full rack of tricams.

[@AlexanderLabial]

Mega cool video!

[@phillipelapierre3821]

Definitely some questionable gear placement Emil, lol! Good work

[@jeeeeeeees]

I really like the big wall videos, so great job! I miss, however, you guys saying it is actually risky - if you fall after climbing 2m you risk falling 4m before rope tightens - if you've climbed slope or it's like a "stair" (big ledges) then you risk hitting the wall / "ground" before rope tightens, and you then risk breaking bones. If you climb 3-4-5-10 meters before setting a gear then you risk falling 6-8-10-20 meters before hitting the wall / ledge / ground, with high risk of breaking bones or death. Of course if it is second pitch, and completely vertical ( or vertical enough ) you will fall into just air, and will be safe even if falling 20m. I miss that information. Most that I talk to that trad climb, or who I watch online, seem to think "you shouldn't fall". I can stumble / fall / do a mistake on even flat ground, and I don't feel risking broken bones or death is worth it? I would like to climb multipitch though, even on trad gear - I just want the risk to be lower. Like it is on a sport lead. Then I risk breaking bone it it's a bit far between bolts (and slope or ledges or rocky uneven ground under the route - then definately the ankle breaks). I also would love to see some slope falling technique, I've seen some "walk backwards and jump".

[@WideBoyz]

Emil mentions something about how he felt about risk at the end of the video.

[@jeeeeeeees]

@@WideBoyz Yes. But I felt that was a really "short" answer, and "felt quite safe", I would like a longer, more thorough talk about that from people who are more experienced than I. Emil and you lads are really strong and good climbers, so you "don't fall" and that is great, I wonder about the risk if you do, so I know better what the actual risk is. Is it like riding a motorcycle without a helmet? "it is fine as long as you don't fall"? So if you want to elaborate, I am happy :)
