That was awesome. I had to watch the end a few times. His face expression.

Priceless

Tap dancing feet with a mind of their own, using your hands like you're reading braille and a positive correlation between height gained and the amount you are shitting yourself. Almost exactly like me RP'ing at Malham

Great footage with a nice choice of music. I'm going to watch it again now. Did he get back on and do it ?

Glad you guys enjoyed it, yeah he got right back on it, we think it's a variation of a Martin Crocker E5, Steve's footwork is normally very good which obviously shows he must have been bricking it.

First 8c at La Pedriza, Madrid.

Cool climbing. Needed more banging techno tho.

Not really typical pedriza style!

Last point. Who else remembers when Chilam Balam was first climbed, and did you think the ascent was credible at that time? I remember it well, and I certainly believed Bernabe had climbed it at the time – and I still do, as it happens.

regarding Chilam Balam, I only know that one of the strongest oppositors of Bernabe's acent was Dani Andrada: he went on the route and he wrote he didn't fine neither chalk on the holds, nor rubber on the footholds in the whole upper part, so given that Bernabe had worked the route for a long time, he didn't believe he had climbed it. has anyone heard this also?
at the time I had a subscription to Desnivel, and there were many doubtful Spaniards.
envy or not?
it's a shame media weren't so present at the time. simply getting a video of Bernabe on the route could have given a better idea. but then again, even now that isn't enough.

Particularly if the climber / filmer refuse to publish the video

In case you'd forgotten about Grit, check out Pete Bridgwood's repeat of Strain Station...

SA Chris · July 25, 2011, 08:37:40 am

Impressive. Looks like that fall was a potential ankle snapper.

Gus · July 26, 2011, 03:14:14 pm

Awesome!!!

Great to see this getting done at last, was just thinking about this route yesterday.

Seems like E4 5c ish might be about right (maybe a bit more) to which is a surprise, I always thought it would be one of thos E4's that turns out to be about E6/7!!!

Nice work Pete!!
