A video short of George Carmichael climbing the Raven Tor classic 'Mecca'. A short and very powerful route, George had roughly six sessions before climbing the 8b+ test piece.

Please get in touch if you can think of anything I can film.

    Nice route. Sticky knee pads are poor style though.

        While we’re at it, let’s bag on stick clipping, pre-hung draws, and bolts.

        There is no right or wrong, just a question of style. Climbing is arbitrary in itself. “Style” is is a set of arbitrary rules you set for yourself for aesthetic purposes (or whatever). My sense of style does not agree with rubberized knee pads.
