Breaking a Climbing Record: The Nose, Part 1 | Don't Expect Anything Normal with Tom Randall, Ep. 1
- 10 years ago
http://www.epictv.com
The Wideboyz, Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, are two Brits with a shared kink for crack climbing and harebrained adventures. Their two year campaign of self-torture and masochistic training carried out in a small Sheffield basement has got them up many of the hardest trad climbing routes around the globe, including the world's hardest off-width: Century Crack, 5.14b.
In this episode the Wideboyz take on one one of the UK's classic climbing challenges, The Staffordshire Nose Speed Record. Also known as the 'Brown and Whillans Challenge' after the men who established the relevant climbs, it takes climbers to 31 different routes in three separate crags in the Peak District. Most of them require some form of desperate hand jamming and/or loss of skin, and if the boys want that record, they've got to climb every line in less than 8 hours and 41 minutes.
But It wouldn't be a British record without fog, drizzle, green soloing, and general climactic unpleasantness. Watch the Wideboyz get down and dirty over the course of one eventful day. No sheep or farmers were hurt in this filming but two pairs of trousers were soiled and some lichen was unfortunately killed.
