    The whole "no ropes" thing kinda bugs me that it's considered like the pinnacle of climbing to do the thing that they try so hard to tell you not to do at every other skill level.

    For anyone unfamiliar with Pete Whittaker or Toby Segar, I highly recommend watching their other collab videos:

    PARKOUR vs CLIMBING - LAST MAN HANGING (7 vs 1)
    Toby teaches Pete parkour (1, 2, 3)
    Pete teaches Toby big wall

    p.s. pinging @rosco, my climbing video buddy, since I think you'll like this latest collab video too ;)

      Thanks for the heads up! I love the Pete Whittaker or Toby Segar collaborations and Toby is such an unbelievable talent (as is Pete, but we're in his space for this video). Watching from a technical perspective, I can't imagine how strong Toby is as he often holds himself to the wall with arms at 90 degree angles - particularly the section around 16:30. So much pump!

      All in all, great route for the piece.

        NP! Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, Toby is an absolute beast. He manages to successfully complete so many challenges with just his raw athletic talent and pure strength. And yeah, that route is pretty damn cool. Seems like a relatively low risk way to introduce someone to free soloing too.
