Hi, thought this might be of interest to anyone taking up multipitch climbing. Pete teaching parkour athlete and climbing noob Toby Segar how to climb big walls.
Yeah, takes me back to when I learnt all this stuff, although the routes were at a much more gravity friendly angle!
The camera work and detail are really top notch, seeing a very competent athlete chucked straight into the deep end is fascinating, a thuggy grit E2 for his first lead, holy molly...
Yeah takes me back too. I really like the way that Toby is humble and honest about his emotions. He's clearly used too trusting his abilities and operating in dangerous situations but this is a whole new slant. I agree the camera work is amazing too!
Toby goes to my bouldering gym, and regularly sends 7B/V8.. Definitely wouldn't class him as a climbing noob!
Loved that video series regardless, though. I can see why they played up the noob angle, and I suppose he is very new or a noob to that climbing style. But he's a strong boulderer.

Yeah I follow swags stuff on YouTube so I know he's a good boulderer, still thrown in at the deep end with trad stuff though which I think made the series really interesting, if they'd been climbing easy routes I don't think it would have been as compelling. The thread title was a bit tongue in cheek. He's an accomplished ninja too which probably helps...
