It's clearly presented as a single ascent from 2.40 on, edit breaks might be cameraman moving around cave to get out of way. The words 'First Ascent' suggest that, at least.

Yeah that's the part i mean really, thought it was a pity they couldn't show a single ascent from the start to finish, guess like you say the camera work may not have been made this possible.

Good stuff, Sharma's still a beast. Surprised the rock is good as it looks flakey as fuck.

Frankly, it looks rubbish. When he pulls on at the start of the FA he puts a foot lock in and a pile of rubble falls out of the crack! I'm sure the reports said it broken during the repeat attempts. I bet it keeps breaking.

What's with his new self-facilitating media node approach too?

Yeah i agree, not as good as the original Witness the fitness for me, that broke too didn't it? Could have at least made it look like one go though, kept the chalk bag on, kept his trousers the same etc.

I think it looks good, we have a lot of chossy lime in this country but always climbs well

Limestone caves at the bottom of cliffs generally aren't immaculate but it looks worthwhile to me.

At least the fixed rope access should prevent accumulation of sheepshit.

There's the possibility that 15 years spent in one has given you a slight bias..

What was wrong with Western eyes. As I hope to get on it soon and that looked similar to the way I've seen it on other vids.


Just wondering like!

The problem doesn't walk off rightwards or step back on to the other Boulder once you reach the top break. It's got a move off the top break that allows you to reach the top ie directly where you'd think the problem finished

Western Eyes has a big crack about 2ft right of the apex of the arete doesn't it? Are we now saying we're making legbreaking topouts of non-eliminate lines eliminate now?
