Crack-meisters Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall are currently ripping through the hardest crack climbs in the USA. Last week we had our first report - Wideboys USA: Whittaker and Randall in Vedauwoo. Now we have a new report straight from the boyz themselves as they tackle another great testpieces namely Trench Warefare in Utah. Not content with flashing the thing, Pete extended the normal route and Tom then decided to solo it.

What are chicken wings and butterfly jams?

Great article.

One small point, it seems to be Pete climbing with the rope and not Tom.

Don't worry it is worksafe! Butterfly jams are a type of stacked handjam (ie. using both hands in a single jam) chicken wings are whay you eat afterwards

Something tells me that Curbar (or any other offwidth rich venue) is gonna be seeing more action that usual over the next couple of months!

In reply to Calder:
Is it worth installing some hidden webcams on the Ramshaw jamming ticklist routes? I think my last visit would have been worth a pile of cash from you've been framed so it could be a nice little earner!

In reply to Reach>Talent:

That'd be brilliant, yes!

I hate watching myself on film, but I wish I had a video of myself giving my all to gain, ooh, 6 inches on Hercules (yep, a shameful performance!). Only to slide back down once as soon as I breathed. And repeat...

In reply to Calder:
I've not tried Hercules and haveing looked at it I don't think I will

In reply to Jody:

Yes. Does it say something different somewhere? I may have missed it but the references seem correct at the moment.

It's the photo captioned 'Tom climbing Trench Warfare with a rope'

In reply to Alan James - UKC:
The photo captioned as Tom climbing trench warefare with a rope is definitely Pete.
