Pete spoke about his recent project in Yosemite, where he became the first ever person to all-free rope solo El Capitan in a day. He also talked about his past climbing projects, especially Wideboyz with Tom Randall, and how he got to where he is today.”First-ever El Cap all-free rope-solo in a day”

The event was packed full with keen climbers, some of whom were lucky enough to run off with some of the prizes from our raffle!
