Pete Whittaker - Psychosomatic Pigeon E7 6C FA
Pete Whittaker - Psychosomatic Pigeon E7 6C FA drops you into a sharp, high-stakes moment on gritstone at Burbage South in the Peak District, as Pete goes for the first ascent of “Psychosomatic Pigeon.” With damp conditions threatening to shut things down and tea towels literally taped to the wall to keep key holds dry, it’s a quick hit of British trad ingenuity and focus on one of the UK’s most iconic edges. What makes this short so gripping is how clearly it captures the mental game behind hard leads: committing above gear, trusting skin on fickle friction, and staying composed when the rock won’t play nice. It’s punchy, straightforward, and full of that uniquely Peak District tension—minimal fuss, maximum commitment—ending with the kind of decisive send that’ll leave you wanting to rewatch and then get outside.
