Si chiama “Black Mamba” il nuovo mostro orizzontale

Dopo la ripetizione di un durissimo 8b “da dita” nei giorni scorsi, Pete Whittaker e Tom Randall sono riusciti nel progetto offwidth di 50 metri in tetto orizzontale, chiamandolo Black Mamba e gradandolo 8c

I looked up and for some reason I could see 2 cracks 🤷‍♂️ That's when I realised the final offwidth was stripping @tompaulrandall 's boxer shorts from his ass. I could see one rock crack and one butt crack. I peered into the abyss and knew this was the key beta for the final wide section; kegs off = hip high enough = executing technique. He was well on his way to a successful ascent. . A great trip down to Canyonlands resulted in the first ascent of Black Mamba 5.14b from us both. A boulder/trad 50m roof crack marathon. . #climbing #climb #klettern #klatring #klatre #climbingtraining #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #training

First ascent of “Black Mamba” 5.14b done…! This one was a proper fighter and had us both wearing through a pair of boxer shorts to get the FA of a really unique 50m boulder-route hybrid. The years of exploring down in the caves, still presents surprises and nothing can be taken for granted! If you thought one pair of gloves was enough, think again. If you assumed that tissue paper padding was for puppies, you’re wrong. If you wondered what it’s like doing the Angry Pirate Finish at the end of 40m of 5.14 pump-fest, then you know where to head 😜. I’ll leave you with a quote from @petewhittaker01 . . “On Tom’s go, I knew he was on the way to a successful ascent when I started to see he was losing his boxer shorts…” #climbing_pictures_of_instagram #tradclimbing #crackisback
