Knee Popping E9: Dynamics of Change at age 17 |
SINGAPORE (Team Geared Up) - Yeh, my knee doesn’t do that either. An amazing, photo sequence pointed to by The Mountain World blog. You can see the entire sequence here.
17yr old Pete Whittaker with mother and father on belay duty, and sister Katy watching on has created a stunning set of photos from the first accent of E9 Dynamics of Change on grit in the UK.
You need to go and read Hot Aches Productions account and photos…
From here, miles above his gear, he then swings a heel up between his hands, and gradually rocks over on it. Rocks over on it. How? But somehow he was managing to. What remains ahead from this point is the final crux section of Brail Trail, but without any of the gear. Effectively soloing from this point.
And yes, the exposure really was massive… unreal!
Good man Pete!

Awesome…. although this was a month or more ago now those new pictures hammer home just how hard that route really is - myself and Caroline looked at that line after he sent it - that scoop really is poor! Mind blowingly difficult! Plus Parthian shot E9 (from hard grit) next door has gear a good 6 - 8 ft highter!
