FRI NIGHT VID - Pete Whittaker Yosemite Interview

© UKC News

In tonight's Friday Night Video, we have an exclusive interview with Pete Whittaker following his very first big walling experience in Yosemite. Pete managed to free three big walls during his trip with Tom Randall, including a particularly impressive flash ascent of Freerider 5.12d (UKC News Report). 

In this interview by Nick Brown, Pete talks about his impressions of big walling and regales us with stories of the highs and lows - and the epics - that he experienced while climbing with his "WideBoyz" accomplice Tom Randall.

Find out exactly what Pete thinks of Yosemite grading...and learn about cycling your bowel movements for optimum big-wall performance...

We also have a video from Hot Aches Productions and Wild Country of Pete climbing Baron Greenback (E9 7a) E9/10 at Wimberry (UKC News Report- a route which he has since repeated by climbing the direct start (UKC News Report). Tom Randall climbs Appointment with Death (E9 6c) E9 6c.

Morecambe & Wise meets Brown & Whillans - what a great pairing. Look forward to more light hearted yet serious climbing from these two guys.
