Watch Tom Randall make the second ascent of Sam Whittaker's Wimberry masterpiece, Appointment with Death, E9 6c.
This route had stood unrepeated for around 10 years; its location on the wild Wimberry buttresses, combined with the difficult nature of the pebble pulling climbing (and maybe the name) had put people off...
Tom climbed this in 2013. It was originally hosted on BMC TV and now uploaded to RU-vid.

Must feel weird walking to the crag with a crash pad, two ropes and no quickdraws😂

Makes sense you want to reduce impact force on the gear and spine as much as possible. Lighter half ropes as well have less rope drag.

@jamessimpson8505
@jamessimpson8505 5 лет назад
Ok, but that's beyond the point. The ethics of keeping the route traditionally protected help avoid the onslaught of people who damage the area, which is what inevitably happens at a sport crag. Plus, as a historical trad crag, bolts aren't an option.
@illsmosisyou1993
@illsmosisyou1993 5 лет назад
@@jamessimpson8505 Right. As I understand it, it's simply following the ethics that have been established for the area. No bolting in this area, chipping okay at Rifle, etc.

@arthurv8905
@arthurv8905 5 лет назад
6c here refers to British tech grade (i.e. the technical difficulty of the hardest move) rather than a sport grade. E9 6c would convert to somewhere around French 7c given how bold it is, though because it is grit, the conversion is pretty meaningless. Perhaps a 7B-ish friction slab above a deathy fall would capture this route a bit more accurately.

Ok i'm gonna say something super controversial for the UK audience. Just put a bloody bolt in. It's 3 square centimeters of light grey steel on dark gray stone. If you paint it no one will ever know it's here. It damages the rock less than accidentally breaking a hold, you can even pull them out now (and hide the hole with painted glue or something.) I'm perfectly understand the urge to risk one's life weither it's free solo, highball bouldering, or unequipped long trad routes (if my wife hadn't made me promise that I would never free solo, I would probably have free soloed some easy verdon multipitches). But this is (in my humble opinion) silly. You have the gear, you have a belayer, you have the knowledge. No point in risking your life (or career) on this. But hell, sick send. I'm a huge fan. I'll be moving to the midlands soon and I hope I can cross path with Tom and Pete.

Not falling from the boulder problem further below from where it starts, far below from where it starts (check the position of the belayer and imagine bouncing until you meet him/her).

Why's that e9? Protected above him for over half the route. A big swing yes, but onto a flat rock protected with a mat. It's undoubtedly hard, but is that really the same severity as the big issues? Nope.
