There’s been an awful lot of this over the past few weeks. Part of me will be a bit sad when it’s all over though, to steal a famous quote ‘it's such a thrilling business’. Another year’s work comes to fruition next Thurs in Sheffield.

@indole_gaines@CalderValleySRT@JesseDufton That's it. The local mountain guide we used to rig the cameraman's ropes said 'if you want the 5.11 experience, climb 5.10 at the tower'.
@Al_Lee@CalderValleySRT@JesseDufton Right. “5.10 at The Tower” often translates to stacks and stacks of 5.10 moves and nothing under ~5.9.
5.10 in Eldo often means a few brief 5.10ish cruxes & bundles of easier moves. Different world, psycho sustained.
Big Respect. 🔥❤️🔥🏴☠️

Franco Cookson's first ascent of the line 'Immortal' originally graded E11 7b. The route has now seen a repeat from James Person, who of course experienced the most famous down-grading in UK climbing history. You couldn't get any more Franco than this vimeo.com/ondemand/britr…
'There's a reason this is my favorite place in the world' high praise from the well-traveled ice master Greg Boswell.

When you finally succeed on that route you've avoided for 30 years... Al destroys his inner punter once and for all. Taken from our film #headjam documenting filmmaker Al Lee's road to recovery from his personal traumas through climbing rocks. vimeo.com/ondemand/britr…
15 years on and this is still one of the best bits of footage we've ever captured. Pete Robins miles above the gear on the crux move of Master's Edge at Millstone. We've all been there...:
'I think I can do it, dare I do it?, oh gawd why am I here!!!....'
