Question ? - how you rest if you are third or yor body need a little beat of rest ? - I will appreciated your answer THANK YOU - LET MY TELL YOU - YOU HAVE SOMETHING THAT ANY OF US DOESN'T.
Free soloist are the least insane. There is so much calculation and practice that goes into it. Free soloing with no practice on the wall would be the definition of insane which no one does really
They make the climb harder for themselves, with no margin for error, Risk-reward calculation does not make any logical sense, hence why I'm leaning towards insane.
Pete… you are inspiring, sir. Amazing display of athleticism. Robust attention to the details that really made the finished product special. You are one of the most outstanding climbers of our generation.
I knew it was impossible not to love Pete. But it's just as impossible not to be awed by his achievements. And all in this unassuming and laidback and often hilarious manner...
Loved this film at Kendal Mountain Festival. I’ve been telling everyone how good it was because of the intimacy and closeness of the shots. Thank you for making this follow up film! An outstanding film and incredible achievement!
Will definitely be watching. Looks like an amazing production. Well done for thinking out of the box and overcoming the obstacles in getting a film made (and then doing the climb!). Inspirational stuff! Legend!
Pete, I just watched the film. What can I say, just Amazing! Loved the POV camera angles. My heart was in my mouth a couple of times. Really well done! Thanks.
@@paulbrown2971 excellent, I'm really glad you enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy the rest of the films on the streaming link as well. There are some more good ones in there 😀
This was two days after we did an extreme triathlon starting on the piece of land you see at the base of Kjerag. I've seen people climbing there a few times, but had no idea someone had soloed the route. Huge kudos!!! Extremely impressive achievement.
Cannot wait to watch this! Absolutly love ths filming style and hope more films are made like this in future, Focus on the climbing iteself and not so much needing dramatic interview or reaction cuts to sink in just how intense this is, let the climb speak for itself.
Holy crack! That free soloing was (camera) rigged ;)! Congratulations for pulling everything off despite the hurdles! For me it is absolutely impossible to extimate the risk, but I hope that your own safety was in no way comprimised by the setup/stressful situation. The wall looks absolutely insane! Stay safe!
Hey. Writing from America and just wanted to say congrats on a super climb. First got turned on to how badass free climbing was by Lynn Hill. Then Eric Honnold. Now you. Cheers with a full one! Well done!!
awesome, I reckon a spine protector vest or weights vest with plates removed would be an upgrade to the bag, much slimmer fitting and the pole could be bolted in position.
After watching the film I had a lot of questions, thanks for answering them unasked! might be time to upgrade my gopro. I imagine editing must've been hurculean as well
Been to Kjerag in 2019 and sat down on the Kjeragbolten. Didn't dare to stand up since there were winds up to 100km/h that day. My legs felt like jelly afterwards so how you manage to free solo this wall is beyond me. But this region is definitely one of the most beautiful in Europe, so you might as well do it there I guess :). Great job!
Truly congratulations - unbelievably beautiful wall and incredible achievement. Given the challenging conditions did you on-site solo or you did the route before on rope like Alex (may be the year before)?
I climbed the route once, 2 days before to check route finding, conditions and generally what the route was like. It would not be sensible to not climb it very recently, as you have to understand the current conditions, as it can often be surprising what is wet and what isn't
Sounds like a jeff dunham gag..."eetz a gopro...onna steek" !! Awesum bit of work... I loved solo-ing,much lower grades admittedly but I soloed my lead grade on the hill,the Ben,Skye,Cir Mhor, Lakes,Wales...it was awesome. Used to freak some people out a bit but I loved it...there was a freedom,an ease of movement,a wee bit of "bad boy" edge...all in all,swanning around on a biiig piece of mountain,all on your own,or in good company is,MAGIC. Especially for a mediocre climber,it gave me a buzz I found hard to get normally. In the proper company,it made long "mountaineering" routes/days a lot faster to cover and much more productive. Also,it emphasised the seriousness when you returned to a full "traditional" effort for something technically harder,more serious.It increased "think twice" options, Again,this was well worth watching as the "background" to some of these pieces is as important as the film itself. Well done mate,worth the wait now...
Big respect Pete. It's amazing to see all of your hard work and dedication lead to you being capable, competent and confident enough to do this. Peace ❤
Loved the film and it’s nice to get a behind the scenes. When I initially saw the weird outline of your backpack under your shirt, I was so confused. I kept trying to come up with a reason (secret emergency jetpack in case you need to bail?). Makes so much more sense now
Your crazier than I thought, balls of steel. Nice work. Got to ask though, wearing the harness. Was that just so you could pretend in your mind that you were tied in :)
reminds me of alex hanolds climb man always beautiful to see the view from a height like that and the skill it takes to do such a climb even if he woulda had ropes.
this is the coolest thing ever and I'm glad you made this video because I had no idea about the brit rock film tour... edit: awesome film, go watch people, worth the $20 alone and you get access to 4 more films
"To get it in a condition for a free solo is down to ONE day a year" (...) "when it is warm enough to be KIND OF DRY". That would be reason enough for me to NEVER ever try this wall free solo x) Let alone with a camera on a stick.. Pete, you have a lot of skill and balls of steel..
I have had this idea ever since GoPro came out...glad you made it work! I conceived of mounting it on an adjustable a conduit armature like a movable desk lamp stem.
You Sir, are bloody bonkers,, but I bloody love you for it!! I wasn't aware of this film or your amazing free solo, can't wait to check it out! #chickenwingersforlife
Did you guys ever discuss painting out the shoulder cam on the drone shots, instead of climbing the pitches twice? I wouldn’t have had a issue with that sort of edit. And it wouldn’t have been the hardest thing to paint out 🤔 This totally worked too, but just curious.
Crack climbing is fairly easy, you can hang from one hand on a good crack. Free soloing is still ridiculously dangerous though. Humans occasionally faint due to various ailments and conditions. Sometimes it's the first symptom. If you faint while free soloing you're dead.
