Weekend Stoker: Big Whipper from Ethan Pringle

Get stoked for the weekend with this short video of Ethan Pringle taking a whipper in Spain a few years ago.

“I did finally climb through the crack boulder at the bottom and got a high point about 60 feet higher than my last one.

“I made it to the top with only two hangs! Figuring this pumpy SOB OUT! Was so stoked that I had to take a little preemptive victory #whipper anyway.”

Get stoked with some of Pringle’s big sends: second ascent of Jumbo Love 5.15b, fourth ascent Biographie 5.15a, fifth ascent of Thor’s Hammer 5.15a and first ascent of Everything is Karate.
