Thanks again for another great video, i always wonder hoe they climbed back the with the clothing, boots...etc. from 1992 of Chris Bonington reenacting a classic climb of the Grepon in tweeds, woollen socks and old boots by Alfred Mummery in 1881.

I have no idea what I just watched. I honestly cannot even begin to fathom how in the world someone would attempt this in the late 1800’s and fact Chris is having a legit conversation as he is climbing up it’s just a testament to how much of an absolute legend he is. What a remarkable video, you channel is beyond this world David Snow.

I found this film posted by another channel a while back and since then I have wondered what memory hole the other episodes of this series fell into over the years, as I cannot find any references to them online. The BBC has so many old climbing films that must be sitting in some archive somewhere.

I don’t think it’s accurate or fair.. the original crew was used to wearing those clothes and boots, the modern cre had to become used to something the originals wore all their life. What an extraordinary feat..

Thank you for showing us how REAL climbers used to do it. Not with money and dispensable Sherpas.
