Thanks for bringing us along Pete, these were days I’ll remember. You’re awesome

Hearing a world class climber come to the revelation that he's "not comfortable with heights" is interesting and really shows how differnet the seperate disciplines of climbing are

Thank you so much Pete and Emil! Such epic and fun days!!

The stressed looks for approval Emil gave to Pete everytime he was placing his gear were so funny

I love the fact exceptionally strong climbers are not afraid to get out of their comfort zone but also to admit to being scared. Another top video and just great content

So cute how trad dad watched over his two eager pupils :) Wish I waited until both parts of this series were online to watch them directly one after another because now I have to wait way too long for part two.

emil saying 'this is fun' mid pitch is exactly what I do when I am pooping myself on lead

Loved to see how serious Pete got when he realized Emil needed more training on abseiling. Funny moment but also very reassuring. Great coaching all around and great production Pete!

Trad dad, sloper connoisseur and the fingers of steel. The three horsemen of the apocalypse has finally united and the cosmic forces of levitation has been found

Socks and backpack climbing, next Pete will get them to rack up with hexes. The joyous ringing of cowbells to propel them up the climb. Great video!

Your collabs are awesome. Would love to see Toby back on the channel as well. Or Pete and Tom on STORROR again.

Pete running it out so that he doesn´t spoil any placements, so that Emil and Matilda learns something. That is what I call dedicated teaching. Hope to see more content with Emil and Matilda in the future this was great! - Sweden

Unexpected video after unexpected video on this channel! Such good content I've seen Matilda climb a couple of times. She's one of these annoyingly graceful climbers that just floats up difficult as heck problems Edit: What I really hope after this video is that Pete managed to convince Matilda to buy some wide boyz crack stuff to her gym because I climb there heh...

Finally this series returns! Absolutely love this format.

I love these videos where Pete takes someone out of their comfort zone and the sense of achievement they feel after his coaching. Top stuff!

these vids where you take people on their first ever trad climb are my favorite, it's so fun to see them go through the entire spectrum of emotions, from fear and confusion to elation and relief, especially the feelings of "shit do i even trust the gear i placed myself? i don't think i do" bc i think everyone feels like that on their first lead lol

Always interesting to see such strong and skilled climbers so out of their comfort zone on the wall.

Refreshing my feed every couple of hours, waiting for the next part of this series to go live 😬

Loved this video. Great job Emil and Matilda getting out of your comfort zone and climbing something new. As aspiring climbers, our family loved watching this video.

I feel like we should just play that v14 dyno clip every time Emil's name is mentioned. I've seen it in every crossover he's done lmao

incredible video, Emil is kind of my model, his strength is unbelivable, well done !

Three of my favs in one video. 😍😍 Congrats to Emil and Matilda on their first trad. Pete seems like such a calming coach.

Matilde is super cute, i dig her energy. Surprised i haven't seen her before. She's super humble in her talking, but you can see in her climbing that she's very confident and experienced.

Trad Climbing = Free solo with extra steps 🤣 Lovely video and impressive footage Pete!

Can't wait to see the next one! It's great to see climbers who are very good feel like I feel on a trad climb. So exciting!

I liked this video mostly because of that hand jam Emil did. You did say the viewers would love that...

Omg I could never do this! The way they jump and move so effortlessly I would be frozen in fear!

amazing video, great to see a world class climber be a beginner again, reminds us they're human too

Thanks Pete, thanks Emil, thanks Matilda - GG everyone! ..and thanks, helps a lot.

So cool seeing Emil turn into a trad climber during this video, going from completely sketched out to "I think that's a bomber wire, whatever that means" to "This is so much fun" to "Oh, it's a bit run out *shrug* interesting"

pete to emil half way up the mountain: "so this is the european death knot"

I really thought Emil was used to this stuff. Props to them both for committing to it

This was so much fun to watch! Having both Emil and Matilda coming from two different styles/experiences was interesting! 😊❤

The second placement at the start 😭

My introduction to Emil and Matilda. Very amiable people. Great vibes and a superb video.

Wow, such an unexpected video again! Looking forward to the second day. Hopefully we get to see some proper jamming action! Especially Matilda looked surprisingly comfortable, even as she said she felt like free soloing.

10:02 anybody else hear what I'm hearing? lol

I love everything about this video, from the concept and content through to the filming and editing. In addition to being a top notch climber, Pete is also an excellent mentor and teacher.

I looove these videos! So much of the content nowadays are just indoor climbing, so to get to watch some proper trad climbing is wonderful!

Emil faffing about with the cam like it's some sort of alien probe had me rolling haha

Matilda and Emil doing a great job of it!

I've been watching both of you guys for I don't know how long and it's good to see you work to gether to teach/learn a new skill. I remember my first trad adventure in Yosemite and just last week I took my first newb up a trad route.

As a trad dad, videos like this make me feel like I wasted years of my life as a snobby New Hampshire traditionalist, eschewing the gym, bouldering, and sport climbing. I feel like the true path is to get really strong in the gym and bouldering, and then just learn jamming and trad skills over a few days. Such regret.

Really cool to see them being scared like that. I recently flew to Arizona to climb there. First time climbing outside, first time USA, first time trad climbing and first time doing a multi-pitch. It was fun and it's inspiring to see how they dealt with this trad-route. I haven't lead a route yet but I hope to next time (although that will be a sport route first).

GJ everyone! Congratz! Pete is awesome, making triple work: control, train and filming

Sling as a prusik? Better than no backup but I'd rather not use dyneema. Love how green these pro climbers are when out of their element, Emily with the helmet on backwards 😂😂😂 and how you asked when at the top if they know how to abseil 😂😂😂 bloody hilarious.

loved this video. so happy to see Emil work through his fears and what a nice 2nd pitch he led!

Climbing ability is the first defense. Mathilda and Emil climbed with so much available bandwidth, that it made "going out on your first trad multi (minus anchor building)" look so trivial, when it totally isn't.

Emil making memes in the wall lol. Solid.

So fun watching Emil get out of his comfort zone!!

So cool...and it remembers me so much ,stuggling when placing gear,the few times i dared to do that ,a looong time ago!!! 'can't wait for day 2...!!

Prusik attached to the leg loop… classic haha 19:40

"Cheeky lil sweed" mint 😂

Such a fantastic collab video!!

What a chill video, I'm psyched for the next one and pretty much everything you guys put out!

I know this style of video takes a ton of effort, but man it’s so good. I love it

Ever heard of factor 2 falls? Even if the difficulty is way below your limit you shouldn’t run out too much at the beginning of a pitch

As someone who works at a gym sponsored by MadRock, it makes me cringe seeing Emil lace up some phoenix’s 😂 That will be the first and last climb in those shoes😅

To many cams. Bring out the nuts and hexes!

great video! man i feel so pumped to eventually do my first trad climb, thanks for the inspiration pete!

Super fun video! Most impressive part was definitely getting good shots while up there haha

Those Norwegian walls look awesome, wet and mossy, but awesome! Nice episode, Pete Whittaker the Bear Grylls of crack climbing.

Amazing video! Looking forward to more!

Soo good to see Emil get scared haha. Its what I feel like on the wall most days haha

I would love to have seen a similar perspective as with toby. The go pro setup really gave good perspective to the person climbing.

Never imagined that such strong climbers never climbed a multi pitch!

it makes me so happy to see some elite climbers wearing socks under their shoes

Epic. Can't wait to get out of the gym and onto trad climbs

Awesome video, I love the stuff of taking people on routes and styles they’re not used to

"Here come's one cheeky little Swede" hahaha

Great watch !👏 even though I’m sitting on me sofa with no intention to climb !!!🤣

I completely lost it at 8:56. Amazing video!!

Great watch as always. These team ups make great viewing and make us want to head north even more. Heard the midges and weatherup there can be a bit Scottish.

love to see the climbing, just one question, why Norway, love to see my home fylke tho.

Lovely port and starboard ropework.

great video thanks. I would love see a crash curse video about trad climbing .:D

Pretty crazy to just start plugging gear without some serious practice. I saw one placement that looked pretty tipped out. They did good tho. This video is top notch!!

ha classic Kruk. I just watched that video again a few days ago! Cedar almost ended up with a dirty Sanchez.

That hand jam from Emil was a thirst trap

Do you ever get people to fall on the gear Pete? Could help someone like Emil not only with the nerves but learning good placement

What a great video! When Emil said "I feel like that's a bomber placement" the silence from Pete 'sounded' to me like "And I don't want to hurt your feelings, Emil" ;) (Placement did not seem that bad though, but I'm not a trad climber (yet?) )

Such a fun wholesome watch!

i'm so excited to see the next video

This video made me feel like the old trad dad that I am. I do every climb with a backpack and full rack of tricams.

Pete you gotta do double overhand! That makes it so when it fails it's the rope and not the knot!

Awesome watch!! Nice to see this ❤

Absolutely awesome content!

Вы крутые, спасибо!

Thats such a wonderful video ❤

Emil is hilarious

Your madrock("매드락") t-shirt is impressive. ^^

New subscriber, Great video brotha!

Nice one! Cheeky little swede 🤣

I really like the big wall videos, so great job! I miss, however, you guys saying it is actually risky - if you fall after climbing 2m you risk falling 4m before rope tightens - if you've climbed slope or it's like a "stair" (big ledges) then you risk hitting the wall / "ground" before rope tightens, and you then risk breaking bones. If you climb 3-4-5-10 meters before setting a gear then you risk falling 6-8-10-20 meters before hitting the wall / ledge / ground, with high risk of breaking bones or death. Of course if it is second pitch, and completely vertical ( or vertical enough ) you will fall into just air, and will be safe even if falling 20m. I miss that information. Most that I talk to that trad climb, or who I watch online, seem to think "you shouldn't fall". I can stumble / fall / do a mistake on even flat ground, and I don't feel risking broken bones or death is worth it? I would like to climb multipitch though, even on trad gear - I just want the risk to be lower. Like it is on a sport lead. Then I risk breaking bone it it's a bit far between bolts (and slope or ledges or rocky uneven ground under the route - then definately the ankle breaks). I also would love to see some slope falling technique, I've seen some "walk backwards and jump".

You need to get magnus to film a cool wall with you!

Excellent show.

Love this!

Great collaboration

Definitely some questionable gear placement Emil, lol! Good work
