I thought this was going to be an advertisement for going on a day's bouldering with them

I remember watching Ed climbing the Inn Pinn on Countryfile, and saying something along the lines of 'I'm not a climber' or 'I never have to climb again' .... looks like he's caught the bug!!

Grimer clearly has no clue.

Any bouldering coach worth his salt would have had Byrne stripped to the waist & fully beanied up within minutes...

Grimer needs to explain what the chalk is for, by the look of it. And tell the guy to take his watch off - he'll trash it!

No. Not when you climb at your level.

I reckon and I believe that Ed Byrne has challenged Niall Grimes to do some stand up at the Apollo.
Excellent little video and before we know it, Byrne will be 'burning people off' of his own...

Bitchy, but perhaps with an element of truth...

It's true enough, but exactly how much chalk would you advocate for a slab like the one in the video and what is the accepted method for putting it on your feet?

You'd have to take your shoes off for a start..

I was more concerned about the wedding ring.

Didn't realise it was 1970 again.

That I would like to see. I still remember his tale involving the UDF and a public lavatory that gave him a fear of off-widths......

Enjoyable little film. Ed looked like he 'got it'. Anyone know if he has carried on?

How can four people have disliked this? It is genius.

People that don't want to see Ed Byrne topless?

I can't believe there are four such people.
