Shad fails on Flying Buttress Direct

After years yearning to be able to lead FBD I plucked up the courage to try it.

    The most important thing is that you actually got on it - it 's one of those climbs that intimidates

    I led it a long time ago. Hvs then. You had done the hard bit but started to crawl and not climb. It’s easy from where you were, practically a solo. H@ve another go

    One trick is to get right back on it with the buzz of the fall. You now know its safe. The other trick is push with your left hand on the ledge while pulling with the right. Most attempts are too far to the right. Its a knack.

    Great video. Nice to have some background on your thought process leading up to it. Did you ever end up doing the route?

    Shame, it looks like you almost had it - seems a lot of people fall off where you did. Once you make about two or three moves from where you fell it's all over. Hope you get it next time :-)
