You may have seen these before but check out Thomas Willenberg (http://www.sportclimbing.de/tw3.htm) in action on grit from a couple of years back.

Interesting method of doing Deliverance, and some mean old camera tilt in action there at Eagle Tor.

Can't argue with the sit-start to Brad Pit the hard way though  :shock:

warm tighten: Thomas's will mountain clears up in Sheffield!
   
Thomas's will mountain  Thomas's will mountain and Ines Westenhoefer again pictures of its youngest Trips sent a large sentence to me in April/May 2000 after Sheffield. There numerous considerable Boulder and also most difficult Erstbegehungen, so e.g. a Sitdown start arrive to it at "Brad pit" (Fb 8b+ as evaluation suggestion).    
But I would like to let the pictures speak for itself.

I've tried running-up at deliverance, its very hard to get more than 2 steps up it before flying off backwards. Also its rare for the ground to be dry enough to take a run-up without having shit all over your shoes when you hit the slab.

WTF is a "warm tighten"?! - maybe this is his secret.


"Thomas, can you please show me a warm tighten so I can climb like you?"

"Get away from me, you sick little Inglisher pigdog pervert...."
