Beginner Climber Attempts Giant Wall, with  

another fantastic edit Pete. So interesting to see your perspective on this. Thanks for bearing with me and cheering me on. I'd love to see you try something like this with someone who is of moderate fitness but has never put climbing shoes on ever. I wonder how they'd fair!? Cheers again!

These have been some of my favourite recent climbing videos I've seen. You've done an excellent job at capturing the fear, excitement and payoff. Psyched for Mike, what a warrior!

I love how climbing videos can make you go from not knowing somebody to screaming at the screen "You ca do it man!" That was truly impressive by Mike. What a freakin legend

Super impressive for Mike to push through the nerves and finish out the climb. Props to Kieran the cameraman for encouraging him when he didn't believe in himself and props to Mike for never quitting. This series has also given me a greater appreciation for how experienced athletes like Toby are able to maintain their cool and avoid negative self-talk, even in new and stressful situations.

Man, I don't know if it's just because I was up there with you guys but this video is absolutely one of my favourites. Mike is such a hero. Great work Pete, you managed to distil an epic adventure into the perfect edit... it tells the whole story really well. What an honour to be part of it! I can't wait to share my perspective in the BTS video tomorrow, we gotta milk that "Mike Boyd crying" clip as much we can 😉

Mike, if you read this: I have endless amount of respect for you! You did awesome.

I was super happy when Mike started climbing. Him making it this far is so awesomely satisfying! This has to be one of my favorite RU-vid channel crossovers.

Super inspiring! Trad seems horrifying. I would love to be able to overcome that fear, just like Mike

1.5 years climbing experience, with most of that from indoor bouldering. Of the few sport climbs I have done, I can say that they have been incredibly rewarding, possibly the most satisfying athletic achievements I have ever done. I feel the emotions Mike was feeling, but he's completed something on an entirely different level than me, so I can only imagine how strong those emotions really are. I can't wait to be able to achieve something like this in the next few years. Big ups Mike, amazing effort and to Pete for taking another person into the world of trad and crack climbing. Another fantastic video!!!

Pete, this mini-series was bloody fantastic. So cool to see Mike on the channel - a brilliant collab. If Mike had done this with anyone else, I don’t think he’d have made it. Pete’s got to be one of the most motivational, enthusiastic, and positive people out there, while being friendly and down to earth - everything Mike needing to support his effort to the top. Mega.

Mike gave it his all and crushed it. Really inspiring stuff.

Well done to Mike! Absolutely smashed it!

Mike always gives it his all, they forgot to put the quit in him!

It's really cool how he managed to progress so far in just 5 days.

Which route is this in Norway? Looks beautiful and great climbing! Looks like a destination.

The drone repel shot is absolutely BONKERS. Good work on this one. So good

Great video! What's the route called? Missed it...

Absolutely amazing, Mike is such a legend. It’s crazy that having watched both of your channels separately, this is a collab I never saw coming but am so stoked to see what came to fruition from it

I love the climbing videos, I myself am getting into climbing so its nice to see the progress with a fellow new starter, great luck and great job on the giant wall !

Fankly speaking: It should be ME next. I'm so jealous... ;)

It probably wouldn't be much of a challenge for magnus, but it would be a nice video seeing you and magnus just chilling on the wall. And it's not like he's the best at cracks

He absolutely smashed it, incredible! It's really cool to see how quickly even a beginner and non-athlete can progress given the right resources and support.

My hands were sweating just watching this. Amazing video!

My two random suggestions for who should be next: Xyla Foxlin - An engineering/maker youtuber who I believe has done a fair bit of climbing though maybe not any big wall trad? Todd Sampson - A documentary maker, tv presenter, and generally outdoorsy person (having summited Everest among other things, but I don't believe having done much rock climbing)

What a story! I was creeped at the end! Absolutely insane job

Oswaldo from Rockentry would be great to see!

Would be awesome seeing Shawn Raboutou on a Wide Boyz epic. He did say he would love to try it.

this really reminded me that climbing still is an extreme sport, i do forget that sometimes when watching the pros

I love the emotion, this is exactly what climbing is doing with all of us. soo psyched!!!

8:17 "I'm glad I figured that out now" made me smile. 9:16 What a beautiful pitch.

Yes Mike. Yes.

this sport is just so cool man seeing mike finish that after being so unsure going into it was so inspiring i love these teaching trad videos

Well done Mike! Excellent teaching Pete!

That was a great watch, been following Mike's channel for a long time so was very happy when this popped up in my feed!

I'm just at the very beginning of my rockclimbing experience, as I've booked a indoor tuition for this Saturday going. Looking to learn the techniques in there before joining and club and moving onto doing it outside, I'm honestly so excited to get into the sport and also I'm not the biggest fan of heights so hoping to conquer that at the same time! I must say watching this has given me confidence to be able to just tackle an indoor climb and what determination that guy had to complete the climb. Absolutely brilliant watch and hats off to him and to you for your incredible teaching skills getting him from the wall to tackling that monster in 5days!! Incredible! Your channel is amazing and so professionally done you deserve so much more credit and subscribers! I've subbed and looking forward to watching your channel grow at the same time my rock climbing experience grows! Good job to all of you!

Wow... nothing else to say really. Incredible cinematography, and an amazing effort from you all!

Best crossover!

What a beast. That was so good, it got me emotional ^^

Little by little pitch by pitch.. Fantastic video guys and huge congrats to Mike!

Badass, Mike. That shot on the Abseil at the end was epic as well.

'pitch 1 was a little damp' - haha, well said 🌊

another perfect video where you push somebody to that rewarding brink

Cameraman was the MVP. Coaching mike all along the way.

Well f**king done! Super strong effort Mike!

Another Wide Boyz Classic.

I've been climbing 40 years and I'm really impressed with Mike

Having watched Mike's video as well he definitely better conveyed how scared he was!

Let's go Mike!

Strange but True- the day this video released, I actually bumped into Mike at my local indoor climbing centre!

Awsome video, really impressive how much Mike improved in just five days.

What a great video! Made my day…so good! Great work Pete, huge congrats Mike!!

I can only imagine how awesome it would be to get to climb with you guys. Always a good time to see one of your videos!

Brilliant film . Kudos to Mike 💪

Solid effort!! If you're struggling to find someone to take next I volunteer 🙋‍♂😅

Absolutely brilliant. Well done Mike. Smashed it. I think get a bike rider up there next Pete. Sam Pilgrim or Matt Jones maybe 😊👍

absolutely grand stuff lads!

epic! well done!

I’ve been climbing now for couple years and this summer we went climbing outdoors in Norway, but it was nothing like this! I would sooooo want to do that climb !

Love this video so much it’s genuine and fun congratulations on making it all the way to the top battling through everything 🎉🎉

Can I be next? Seriously epic climb, Mike did amazing, his video was inspiring, hearing him overcoming his struggles was incredible. Pete´s being such a great mentor!

Fantastic climbing Mike! (And fantastic teaching Pete!)

wow what an incredible video. Genuinely moved by the story..

Very well done!! Didn’t even know what bridging is… that is mental!

great video. thankyou

Good on you Mike.

Full rack, a big backpack and 3 ropes drag! That's impressive Pete

Man this makes me so exited, i really need to learn to trad so I can do some big walls.

That looks a really impressive climb- even for experienced trad climbers! Well done getting up that 😀

The shot at 16:51 is CRAZY! I am crazy afraid of heights, but I would love to either experience it, or be able to once do this.

Mike has successfully evolved to Wide Boyd

does anybody know what route they climbed? did I just miss that?

Chapeau. You did it. Great performance, You can be proud to yourself.

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️ I should be next!!! It would be amazing to learn from Pete!

Damn, I wish I could join Pete on an adventure like this. If he ever runs out of people to do this with, I'd be so ready to jump in at a moments notice.

To the question, who should be next ? I would love it to be me 😁 The route looks unbelievably awesome !!! Nice job guys, keep up the great work. Love the vids and the team. Cheers !

This wall is becoming the "Wide Boyz youtber big wall challenge" 😂

Next up, mike on century crack 😂

The tears at the top is what it’s all about!!!!

Loved the video! Thanks for the great content

Honestly so amazing to watch. Well done!

Great effort! Well done!

That’s how I feel on a 4 highball slab 👏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🔥🤯

Amazing effort! 🙌🙌

Only part way in but how big is Pete’s backpack? It looks awkward and bulky and I wonder if he’ll haul it for the chimneys at the top

What a beast! Good send Mike!

Have you considered geoguesser for a collab? You'll appreciate how determined he is. (I'm sure the storror boys could tell you all about it.) And I think a geoguesser wide boys straight line challenge could be ABSOLUTELY EPIC! It would redefine what a truly 'classic' route could be.

Take me with you next! Would dearly love to learn trad, never even touched the style though I boulder and sport climb a bit

What's the name of the route? Is it comfortably numb?

Another absolute banger Pete

excellent work!

Did not expect Layn for outro music holy, didn't think anyone else listens to her LOL

Great content as always. Whats the name of the route and wall?

Have you ever tried "Etat de choc" in the Alps? Looks like a nice off-width

Wow!!

Fantastic! Joining the ranks of all commentators asking where this climb is😅

love your videos guys. suggestion, put mikes name in the title, ik its a little clout chasey but it would most likely have a large affect on click through rate since its not just any "beginner climber".

This just makes me want to climb more! But alas, it’s ski season soon.

I loved that! What the name of the climb?

well done that man. Way to go Mike. Makes me proud to be Scottish

You should see if Anton Fomenko would be available to try this.
