Is that a piece of foam he has taped to his thumb (in the close-up gobie shot)? Never seen anyone do that before. |

Pete Whittaker on-sighted Lucille yesterday! |
|
Pete Whittaker On-sights Lucille at Vedauwoo - alexekins.co.uk/pete-whitta… |
|
One might be tempted to say, given how often Lucille gets onsighted, that its actually easy. But I think what's actually happening is that its reputation precedes it. These boys spent a week pissing all over every thing Vedauwoo had to offer, so its really no surprise that, not only were they in spectacular shape, they knew the rock very well. |
|
I've been reading the blog for a few weeks, great stuff guys and great motivation |
|
i think i am actually more impressed by the big pink onsite. that thing is a MF. not sure i know anybody who has onsited that thing. know of 3 others who have OS lucille, although i don't think anybody would call it 'easy' |
|
Those guys need to stop by Salt lake on the way to the Creek and get on Trench Warfare, put up by some Brit called Jonny Woodward. |
|
fwiw, Pete Whittaker is one strong young bro and the fact he onsighted Lucille should be more a statement of his skills then the rating of one climb and how many onsights it may have seen.[/soapbox] |
|
Hey guys, thanks for the support. All the routes and problems we've done so far have been amazing - soooo cool. Really lucky you have all these routes to do. |
