Glad aidan said Little Women is actually not that easy. I was under the impression it was
The emotional confusion of Wedge on a rainy rest day. It's so cozy, yet worringly psych-inducing.

I never know whether to save them for a rest day to keep me motivated or watch them on a project day to help me try hard.
Jesus christ shadow women is the most brutal battle of a boulder I've ever seen. Unreal. Aiden is a beast.
Watching Aidan move never ceases to amaze me. Congrats on sending Shadow Women and the other boulders. Well done, whole wedge team ;)

Thanks to Aidan, and to you emphasizing it, I now know that an 8B+ is actually not very easy 😂 Thanks again for the great video. Not commenting all of them, but definitely watching all of them, often more than once!

If this is the stuff he climbs during the heat of summer I'm really curious about what he has been up to this spring. Absolute savage!
Amazing stuff as always, love to see everyone crushing it! Also, the choice to cut the music at 2:23 for his ascent was amazing. Such a calm and peaceful climb. Amazing quality, wedge!

Very relatable to hear Sam say “I’m over it” after battling the whole session, and then still pulling it together to send a hard line. Legend. The highlight though was Aidan’s FA of Shadow Women. What a show of body tension on mingin’ holds. Always so impressive. Do we know how long he’d been eyeing off that extension? Cheers for the great content as always.

At some point you need to have Adain explain the history of Shadow Play for those not in the know. My guess is Shadow women could be 8c+ anywhere else right ?

Just driven through France for 6 hours to get to the holiday villa, cracked open the bottle of red and checked my phone to see this notification… 👌 👨🍳 Edit whilst watching: Dalt Wood Roof! That’s near the grange campsite near the bowderstone? me and my pal stay there when we make out annual pilgrimage to see if we’re still weaklings. Legit thought it was called “Dat Wood Boulder” on UKC

If you’re keen on some hard trad. There’s the (as I understand it) unclimbed soaring arete feature above the Cumbrian on Esk Buttress. Even as a top rope project as per Wizard’s Ridge this would be a great accomplishment 👍💯

Why not just use like an angle grinder/chisel and some drills to create ur own lines on the boulders? like if something is missing etc or feels like it should be added and that change turns it from impossible to possible/very fun? just a crimp. pocket or w/e? sure dont ruin someone elses, but if youre finding or trying to create new ones why not, its just boulders after all youre not destroying a mountain..

I’m a sense the rock is everyone’s so you are ruining it for the next gen of freaks that could get it done. Way too many rocks out there to start destroying routes so you can tick it off.
