Jim Pope makes first ascent of hard Ashop Edge Project
Jim Pope has made the first ascent of a new hard boulder on Ashop Edge, on the Kinder Northern Edges.
For week's Friday Night Video(s), we've got a triple bill from Wedge Climbing who followed Aidan Roberts and Jim Pope on a recent bouldering trip to Finland.
The episodes are a superb insight into the trips of top climbers; Aidan had the aim of reopening his account on Burden of Dreams, whereas Jim was recovering from an injury and trying to perform regardless.
Sit back and enjoy an hour of beautifully shot, world-class bouldering.
