But I fear that the »Bouldering Classics« are going to have the same problem as most of the film's in the series. The climbs are way too easy for the climbers.

Except Hubble / Sean McColl.

Yeah, that was great.

Agreed, nice to hear Ron Kauk talk about it. I guess he's kind of retired now. I've seen him climb; he was a beast on little edges.

Hubble was climbed 27 years ago yesterday...

Nice! Cool to hear Kauk talking about Yosemite bouldering. But I fear that the »Bouldering Classics« are going to have the same problem as most of the film's in the series. The climbs are way too easy for the climbers.

Not so much for Episode 2...!

haha, their sequence on C'etait demain is wrong. they were clearly told about an undercling, but they are using the wrong one.

That's the way I did it too. There are just two undercuts you can use.

Poor research for such a professional video too; it's Traphouse and not Gourmandise and Fourmis Rouge is 7C now.

Sandbagger, he's gone up in my estimation

He does use the lower undercut once at about 3:15.

So it must have been an option.

Only once though

I'm pretty sure Traphouse is a low start into Gourmandise Raccourci, so I think the video is correct.

Description is wrong, Traphouse is basically the right/direct finish to gourmandise, Traphouse Raccourci (as done in the vid) is starting from the higher undercuts

Really? That cover photo has left me skeptical but I'll give it a go.

How odd. What is specifically negative about the cover photo?

The music wasn't to my liking, but I thought it was OK otherwise. Made me want to visit. The problems look superb; certainly of a higher calibre than the average Lancashire bum-shuffle.

The bizarre over-HDR grey rim of the boulder and mountains and the fake-looking sky?

*Specifically*, I should have clarified, in being somehow indicative of a poor video. Are there videos out there that you haven't watched specifically because the cover is a photoshop fail?

I don't think that's HDR i think it's cut out so that the word Torridon can appear behind the mountains.

They look better than most average bum shuffles. Even Welsh ones.

Sometime in the distant past I got puntered for slagging the Welsh bum shuffles. Thought Lancashire was a safe bet in lieu. TBF, there are some good ones. Can we have a top 5 UK bum shuffles?

1. Fear of a slopey planet
2. Green traverse
3. Anesthesia (presumed)
4. Slopey traverse (Lynmouth)
5. Something at Whitehouses

Oh, I agree. I love a good bum shuffle. Just thought it was an odd comparison.

Top five bum shuffles is tricky. Bum shuffles are so much more enjoyable on the home patch - I mostly steer clear of any and all traverses on a trip. I'm probably missing out.

Please....some of those are positively highball.

Back Street Mime Artist is as fine an ultralowball shuffle as you're likely to find in these isles.
