I really enjoyed your film, thank you. Si.
It was my mate who climbed Pigeon in the video. Considering it's the first high thing he's ever done without a rope, I thought his ascent was very impressive. It's definitely more of a solo than a highball, the landing is terrible and you really wouldn't want to fall off. Where his foot slipped I'm not sure I would have stayed on in the same position, so I think he did well managing to keep composed and continue to the top.
Thanks for watching and the feedback!
Pigeon has a really good large rock placement halfway up, as in my clip above, although it's after the crux stretch, and if you've decided to solo then that's obviously irrelevant. That was a fantastic day for me. After Pigeon, I onsighted The Blood On The Shamrock and Ginny Greenteeth. Days when you feel so confident like like that are very rare.
As I said, it's a really enjoyable film, thank you for sharing it.
Si.
