Trauma E8/9 - James Pearson

James Pearson steps onto “Trauma” (E8/9), Leo Houlding’s infamous test piece in Wales, in this punchy Hot Aches Productions clip pulled from Committed Vol 1. In just five minutes you’re dropped into the headspace of a climber weighing precision, exposure, and consequence as he commits to a route where every decision matters. What makes it worth watching is the distilled intensity: the quiet control on tiny holds, the deliberate pace, and the mental battle that sits beneath each move. It’s a fast hit of big-wall seriousness in a short format—perfect if you want a dose of modern hard trad, elite focus, and that unmistakable feeling of stepping past doubt and into commitment.
