St Kilda Climbing Adventure | First Ascents on the Edge of the World Robbie Phillips 2023-07-09 | 100 miles of the mainland of Scotland, 60km of the Outer Hebrides and the western most tip of the UK, St Kilda is the most remote group of islands on the British isles. In some ways, it's easier to go and attempt Everest than it is to organise a sailing expedition to St Kilda, and I guarantee you, more people have summited Everest than have climbed on St Kilda!This climbing and sailing expedition was many years in the making and a dream of Robbie's to undertake. This first trip to St Kilda took Robbie and friends across the Outer Hebrides to the islands of Berneray and Mingulay, and upon finally reaching their destination, were blown away by what they found.Join Robbie Phillips and his friends Will Birkett, Guy Robertson, Hamish Frost and Charles Smallwood as they take the path less trodden to one of the most mystical places on Earth, dubbed by the elders as "The Edge of the World, the mythical Scottish island archipelago of St Kilda

I got spooked by an Owl in Greece 🦉 🇬🇷 #climbingfails Robbie Phillips 2022-04-30 | You don't expect to be attacked mid climb by an owl 🦉 but whilst warming up on this 7a at a sport climbing crag near Athens, thats pretty much what happened! Of course I didn't get "attacked", but the owl was definitely not happy that I stuck my big chubby fingers in it's home, and I'm really sorry I did. I suppose the clicking noise was it's attempt to ward me off... initially I thought it was a bat, but then I looked inside and saw the owl raising its wings up, and before I had a chance to do anything it flew straight at me! Needless to say we got off the climb and left it alone after :P HAHAAHA! Good times :P
SECRET Sea Cliff Sport Climbing 🧗♂️ | Rock Climbing in Ireland 🇮🇪 Robbie Phillips 2022-04-18 | The word "adventurous" isn't usually associated with sport climbing, but it will be when you visit Wicklow Head! Sport climbing in Ireland is not exactly well known, but there are a growing number of bolted crags popping up all over, from Inis Mor in the Arran islands to this absolutely incredible sea cliff crag in Wicklow Head 50mins south of Dublin. This crag only has 3 bolted lines, a 7b+ and 8a+, as well as an 8c+ open project! With the crashing waves of the irish sea below the hanging belay on a small sloping ledge, the exposure feels immense! Certainly not your average roadside crag, but it's not more than 2minutes from a main road making it a very accessible crag for Dubliners!00:00 - Intro02:00 - Top Rope Tough Guy03:29 - Getting ready05:40 - The Lead10:36 - OutroRobbie Phillips is pro climber, climbing coach and YouTuber from Scotland.

Hard HIGHBALL First Ascent on Irish Granite! | Bouldering in Ireland Robbie Phillips 2022-04-04 | Irish bouldering is WORLDCLASS, despite being fairly unknown in the global climbing community. I've been travelling to Ireland for climbing for years, but one place I had yet to visit was the Granite Bouldering paradise of Wicklow just an hour south of Dublin.

How hard can I climb in RENTAL shoes? | Climbing Fails Robbie Phillips 2022-03-07 | Do climbing shoes make a difference? I get asked that ALL the time! My answer is always the same... YES, if you know how to use good climbing technique. But even with expert footwork, could a pro climber climb hard in rental shoes or beginner climber shoes? I tested a pair at the climbing wall to see what would happen. It's worth noting... these aren't your ordinary indoor climbing gym routes, these are proper old school feature climbs which have more transfer to rock climbing than a modern indoor bouldering problem or route. 00:00 Intro00:40 The Plan02:20 Mission Impossible03:34 The Instructors04:19 Thinking on my feet05:42 Orange 6b / 5.10c07:00 Features 7a / 5.11d09:15 Features 7c+ / 5.13a14:08 ConclusionRobbie Phillips is pro climber, climbing coach and YouTuber from Scotland.

Would you trust this climbing gear? | Wish Review Robbie Phillips 2021-03-30 | Is buying climbing gear from Wish worth it? We all want a good deal on climbing harnesses, climbing shoes, and other climbing equipment...but are those low prices just a ticket to making an awful climbing gear mistake?We did our own wish review haul to see if buying cheap climbing gear from Wish is a good deal or just plain dangerous. Buying bad climbing gear is by far the most dangerous thing in climbing. So always make sure you get rated gear from a certified manufacturer. If you aren’t sure about your climbing gear, don’t climb on it. No cheap deal is worth your life.Time Stamps00:00 Intro01:17 The Haul arrives...10:45 Testing Time
