I tried to complete Hard Rock of The Peak, solo. Routes in video: Right unconquerable HVS 5a Valkyrie HVS 5a Elder Crack E2 5c Alcasan E2 5b Chee Tor Girdle VS 4c Surplum E1 5b Suicide Wall HVS 5b On the solo challenge i decided not to do Debauchery E1 5b, which lies just outside of the Peak District boundaries. However I went back a few weeks later and completed all the routes (including Debauchery) with a climbing partner and a more satisfying time. The solo challenge with Debauchery added can be the joy for someone else 😉👌

The KZread algorithm kindly led me to this channel after a morbid evening spent watching failed Everest summit attempts. Everything I've watched has been awesome but the stuff with Toby Segar is particularly inspiring and great. After watching those videos I've decided to start climbing, first indoor session lined up for this weekend. Early days yet but feel really motivated to give it a good shot. Just wanted to thank Pete, Tom and Toby for all of the motivation they gave me after watching their content!

Came to your channel from watching you with Magnus. Great content! Love your presenting style and motivation ... I'm now 47 ... currently 24 stone ... and am motivated to do some climbing .. maybe not the best idea haha but I've been taking my 6 year old daughter bouldering and climbing in the Northeast and it has reignited a bit of passion for it. Nice to see some outdoor content and as an ex photographer and videographer who used to live on the edge of the Peaks in Sheffield it was a pleasure to see some of the stunning scenery. If you ever need a spare cameraman or drone pilot particularly if you are up in the North give me a heads up. I have a particularly terrible car channel on here and would be amusing to do something car and climbing related. God knows what tho haha!!

So many solos... take care!!! But as usual, fun and amazing video

Well done Pete

Fine effort. Inspirational. For the definitive off piste activity with lots of terrain, runniing and should be nice with climbing would be to line you guys out with some cyclocross. The definitive winter activity, always friendly locally for beginners. Looking forward to seeing you learn how to carry your bike one-handed professional style over one shoulder. I'm sure youtube will come up with your local CX (Cyclocross group), if not ping me.

This is peak human performance. Well done

Love to see that Frodo finally become a professional climber. Would definitely have helped him in the past conquering mordors mountain borders.

I can only fantasize about who'd come up with the most incredible day trip idea including (free) soloing and biking/hiking: Pete meeting up with Alex H. in the US or Alex heading to the UK and having a day challenge with Pete 🤔?

My hands just get sweaty watching you.x.x

There's a similar event in Finland called Kustavi Derby which is held on some summers. There you have to trad climb as many routes with your team in 24 hours as possible. You'll get a 0.1 coefficient per different crag you climb, as well as the difficulty grade. you need to walk or bike between crags. When it's finished you eat and bathe in sauna and sit by a fire. I've heard it's a great event. I hope to go someday.

Loved the soloing, didn't love the free soloing. I like you too much ;-)

Me: [watching for the crack climbing because it looks so damn fun] Also me: [noticing the British person deliberately *not* saying water bottle, but water vessel instead]

your bicycle saddle is for highway, not for dirt roads... the climbing is fantastic, thanx Peter!

If this video was an hour and a half long i woulda watched every second.

--> bush hahahahah thanks for the entertainment Pete!

Pete at his beastly best

Rope soloing a normal vertical route looked like a lot of work already. A traverse? Ooooof

That intro 👌

Fancy taking on a V5-V6 student? Would make great content 👌 plus I haven't been climbing in the peaks yet!

My local crag is circle of volcanic rock with circumference just over 1km and it is possible to be climbed relatively safely all around. Locals keep a ladder of best times. This is only reason why I climbed with sport watch. Last time I made a big move to nice large pocket just to find there a wasp nest. I shit you not one wasp got stuck under my watch and kept stinging. I fell around 1.5-2 meters and quickly removed the watch. Luckily I was just stung multiple times, but no real injury. What came to my mind was if this would happen to anyone soloing really high that could be quite troublesome. I am certain that you would withstand a pain facing a deadly fall. But sensation at surprise would be quite unpleasant.

Scrap the hybrid and go for a full mountain bike next time. Get a sprung seat (soft and comfy seat too) and some front suspension, with medium tyres. Trust me, those road sections won't suffer very much, but the off-road bits? Dude. You'll be SO glad that you have thicker tyres and a bit of suspension! It's always a trade off, but the road sections are better to trade away than those off road bits, which will sap your energy when you're on thin tyres and especially if you have no "give" with a solid frame like that. Sore bum territory. Hard on your calves. Hard on your arms... It's much better to trade road speed for good comfy off-road ability. Those off-road bits will take a lot more out of you than you expect. If you're going to compromise, compromise more on the road sections than the offroad. Road is easy. A good mountain bike is a good thing on roads anyway. Offroad is HELL with the wrong bike! Hell! Hybrid is a fake category. Every bike is a trade-off. Get some springs in there man! 😉

Pette, may I have a suggestion to You? You should go and fly to USA to solo climb with Alex Honnold instead of Magnus. Maybe think about it, I think its going to be huge, for the channel, and I might be not only one WHO would like to see it.

Hi! Just wondering did you make the decision to use a rope for the girdles because of the chossiness, increased exposure or difficulty of climbing? Interested seeing that you have free soloed big walls before
