"When I first tried this move I was convinced that my forearm or finger would explode with a loud bang".
This is Tom Randall talking about the moves on The Kraken V13, his Devon Roof Project - a 40 ft long horizontal roof crack at Hartland Quay.
"It’s a long horizontal span to a back-hander mono, followed by a 270 degree spin through and hard move to a thin hands jam, which is immediately followed by a really gnarly ring-lock move"
Quite hard then....
Read Tom's blog on the project: tomrandallclimbing.wordpress....

Tom climbed this in 2015 . This is one of the films that we've moved over from our original BMC TV platform.

The idea of hanging on a ringlock by one arm on a roof is absolutely mind-boggling.

@wilsonchoo1751 5 лет назад

My middle finger retracted back into my hand seeing him do the “mono swing through move”

@onzie9 4 года назад

I totally trust him that that was the only way to do that move, but damn it looks like he can get more fingers in there. The need to spin is probably the main driver for doing that as a mono.

@sevs802 3 года назад

I could feel my middle finger exploding into goo just thinking about that move

Tom is the perfect combination of savage strength, impeccable technique, problem solving and relentless determination.

Saw this crack a long time ago when scouting for bouldering in Devon, remember thinking wow thats one of the best and hardest looking lines around! Also its a bit high, throw in the conditions issue and you have one brilliant bit of climbing. Nice one!

Actually, the problem on which all the Japanese failed in Meringen wasn't really a crack problem, because there wasn't any hold in the crack.

@danieljensen2626 5 лет назад

Cracks should probably have their own rating system. The top crack climbers can't climb the top boulders, but the top boulderers can't climb the top cracks either. Doesn't really make sense to compare them.

@TheUCuber 5 лет назад

I understand where you're comming from, but it's still a boulder problem. Should crimpy routes get a seperate grading system because I suck at them, but feel like big powerful moves are a walk in the park? Every disciplin of bouldering should be praticed in my opinion and fall under the same category.

@BennyH11 4 года назад

@@TheUCuber Agreed, well said.

@benja_mint 4 года назад

i think it gets more like that the higher the grade, regardless of discipline. the more specialized you get, the more nobody else can do your routes and the more you cant even do routes at that grade in other styles. having said that, ondra likes a good crack and i would love to see a video of him trying this, for comparison

@lukemaclean4606 5 лет назад

It really depends on the technique being used. There are many climbers still pushing their limits into old age and some climbers getting major chronic injury in their 30s or even 20s. Ultimately, it often depends on how well you're paying attention to the method that you use to approach the sport. I've heard people try to blame their injury on the sport or their age but when you dig deeper it's always something they were doing that they just decided to ignore or just didn't know about.
