- Earlier in the year, Jacques invited me out to the Newnes Plateau to check out his new route, The Great Divide.
Over the years he has been exploring and establishing crack climbs all over the plateau, and this was the last of his projects.
The Great Divide climbs a steep crack that splits a massive cave in half. Following big moves on pockets and edges, it finally finishes at a the steepest point in the roof where the crack closes completely.
The continuation of the line looks possible, but would involve unlocking a very hard boulder sequence to rejoin the crack once it opens again after a few meters.
Great edit, loving the vibes of this vid.Surely this thing will be the first 8c-8c+ trad pitch when the strong lads come out and start plugging the wiggly bits.
Thanks mate… yeah the complete line looks amazing.. will be good to see you do it👊🤟
Get on it Zack!
I have had a brief play dogging my way through first half to fixed wire.I worked the crux sequence briefly, couldn't quite do move but definitely possible especially for large wingspans.I snapped a small came back aiding to retrieve my gear will definitely get back on it it's a all star line for sure.
damn, Jacques makes a hell of a racket when he climbs innit
Brecon told me to 😂
It’s important to sound like you’re messing your pants to climb hard!
i am a simple man. i see new rumblr video i click
Thanks mate!
amazing as always
Next level trad climbing. I could swear this was a sport climb by the pure athleticism of it all.
Thanks mate this climb requires well rounded skillset, a great fusion between traditional crack techniques and funky high level sport climbing footwork. A real gem.👌
@@jacquesbeaudoin8785 you are madman!! huge respect
This is just so perfect ❤
Hell yeah!
The extension is one for the Wide Boyz
Great edit Brek. Must admit, I had to fast forward the crack climbing.
Haha!!! 👍
Epic line., and ascent How do you clean it?
siiiiiiiick
His poor kids down there listening to him writhe in pain and scream
What is the name of the backgound music? Its amazingly calming!
The sound of children laughing in the distance as a grown man nobly struggles against the immutable forces of gravity...
