I don't much subscribe, but I just did subscribe to Mr. JB Mountain Skills. You would be one of the very few educational climbing chanels I can recommend.
I started climbing in 1971or2. Became a guide at the Yosemite Mountaineering School 1983. I went through the UIAGM program in Canada in  the 1980's, and helped develop the AMGA program. After a 20 year layoff from climbing (and skiing), I started up again last year. Whoa!, I am climbing at about my 1973-4 level right now, sheesh. But we will see where it goes.
I would love to come visit GB. Probably won't happen, but....??? Cheers!!!

My first E1. Very enjoyable climb

Happy days

Lovely bit of belaying at 12:27! Nice to see Bus Stop Quarry again. Another cracking video, Jez :)

Cool, I flashed this on toprope

Look forward to giving this a go!

Great video. At the moment I have mega gear fear, it really helps to see your thought process.

Want to try it now

I climbed this route 😅

Just led my first E1 (debatable). Three pebble slab!

Apparently all you need for your first extreme is two cams.

Climbed Fools Gold a couple of years ago in what appears to be similar conditions. Spitting to begin with and figured I'd be done before the rain set in... Got caught in the same position. Soaked once I got to the top! It's a great route nonetheless.

Enjoyed this vid and totally agree with this. , It was my first E1, great experience, easy to set a toprope up and check you can climb it.

Came down and went for it, built a bomb shelter of wires from the rest then committed to the moves. Brilliant!

Great to see you suffering for your art! Thanks. Looked a lot more solid than iremember!

Thanks for covering an ace route and one of my favourites.  Fools Gold, Breaking the Barrier and Precious Metal on Pen Trwyn were all my first E1 leads.
For the slate inclined:
German schoolgirl as a good first E2? And Reclaim your mind (in the blast shelter) as a good  first E3?

Thanks Jez. Are the BD cams (and others) colour coded the same size as DMM? I know they're numbered differently, 1,2,3,4 etc vs 0.5, 0.75... so a red DMM is a red BD and your gold BD would be a gold (4) DMM? I know i'd be capable of E1 but it's not an option just yet, maybe by next summer if I can keep getting out on the rock. Also are there any good routes you know of for breaking into the higher end of Severe, perhaps partly bolted but with gear along the way, so gear can be placed and potentially tested for those that have gear fear?

Hm...
just asking :)
Why you dont put 1st piece multidirectional ?

If I see the video, will I lose the onsite when I do next week?

Worth pointing out that an E1 aint an E1 if you practice it on toprope first! Always baffles me when people headpoint a route graded for the onsight and sound-off about it being their first E-whatever. Climb your own climb and all that but don't kid yourself.

....IMHO: It would help, a lot, if you could find someone to "translate" what you're saying, into "American English".... Your "weird SLANG/JARGON" is very hard to decipher.
