Climbing in Caley

Caley appears as one stop in a focused gritstone bouldering film that maps the stylistic extremes of northern sandstone. In WIFE ON HOLD - Gritstone Bouldering Sam Carling, Leo Skinner, Solly Kemball‑Dorey and Finn Parry string together a sequence of notable problems — from steep, powerful moves to nervy slab climbing — and the edit uses Caley’s rock to show how micro‑edges and body tension combine on this gritstone.

The film’s problem list (including lines such as Chip Shop Buddy, Mossatrocity and Careless Torque) highlights the local demands: precise footwork, sticky friction and often short, committing boulder sequences. Caley’s contribution to the edit reinforces that gritstone bouldering is as much about subtle balance and slab technique as it is about brute power, and the footage here offers a clear, close view of those contrasts as climbed by a contemporary group of climbers.
