Michele Caminati - Grit Ground Up - Three 'Hard Grit' classics

"Three classic routes from my Peak District tour on March 2012: Braille Trail, Kaluza Klein and Master's Edge. All graded E7 6c and all climbed ground-up after watching friends trying the moves. I had a fall on the first two: quite safe on Braille Trail (slipped trying to reach the arete) and a bit more scary on Kaluza, but it's part of the fun of ground up climbing. Then I had the pleasure to flash Master's Edge on my last day on grit."

That swing around the arête was so unintentional

Good camera work- still think Green Death is the nicest line.

No wonder his top bit of gear pulled on that first climb. His belayer sprinted back into the catch.

Did that biner flash when it broke (or whatever it did) on the first fall?

[David_Last_Name]

at you hit the ground on that fall? And if so, how did you not break your legs? That was crazy!

[platter]

good job but why wear a helmut on the grit but not on masters edge

[TG-pdft]

The fall at the start would have been fatal if your had rotated the other way and hit your head. So many leader falls end in fatal accidents due to those type of head injuries.

Hey, his t-shirt says E9 but he's only climbing like E7s. What a fraud

[undesiurana]

in the first video it says: 2nd ground up attempt... Does that mean that u toproped it previously? If so, i wouldnt find any point on it

[ArinaThomsen]

Why not to bolt it somewhere higher? The fall is high enough to cause the injury that will forever keep you from climbing. Never could understand unnecessary risks.

[danbrown]

its not a flash when you've watched others do it and know where the holds are and what and where the gear goes.

[MrNickjberry]

Why do these folks use helmets and ropes on boulder problems?
