I hope he washed all that chalk off after etc... 

Strong effort, I like how he says there's no drop knees and then does one!

Includes one of the happiest people I've ever met. There's something to be said for being a programmer when it allows you to winter in Ticino...

Take the "s" out of https://.

hmm. quality?

hmm. quality?

I don't really care for making the distinction, they're all just free videos.

Choose carefully if/when you add some such content to the site if you think it is worth making the distinction.

[mr chaz]

I thought quality

[Fiend]

Yeah slackers might be a dome about people judging video quality, but he's right about this one, definitely good quality.

Bit of history, bit of story, farting around to the crag kept to a pleasing minimum, nice close ups of working the problem, and a smooth ascent.

[andyd]

Yeah. Quality. I really liked watching that.

[standard]

ok ok!

[slackline]

ok ok!

Don't worry, whatever you do you can guarantee someone will disagree with it, this is after all the Internet....

Probably everybody has seen this but I haven't.

Can't find the 1st part, but here are the 2nd and 3rd parts of The Real Thing.


 
It's a classic!
Upload quality is good but this was the 90's so no HD.

Great scenery, good tunes, fantastic looking rock and sweet problems... I want to go!!!

Bouldering in Iceland... 

[a dense loner]

Great looking rock in that vid

[willackers]

Nice video and great looking problems!

[Mike Tyson]

I enjoyed this.

[fatneck]

Enjoyed that Mike! Also enjoyed this from the Lawson Bros...

[andy_e]

Currently enjoying the Ireland font vid except for, given the fact I'm not a chameleon, the split screen two climbs at once. Other than that it's great!

[Fiend]

Iceland stuff looked cool, I always like seeing very modern bouldering in such wild and out-of-the-way places. Would have been nice to have their homegrown talent Angist as the soundtrack though....

The clicking and cutting on the grit video made me a bit dizzy. It would be nice if that was cleared up and some of the dark bits were brightened to show off some pretty good footage - like in the Lowrider bit at the end, that looked good (with all the matching colours too!)

[fatneck]

Opening shot on this one is a belter!! Great looking rock too...

[andy popp]

That is very clever and very, very well done - and the whole area looks good

[Nibile]

Yes it is indeed.
The "discovery" thing is BS though. They may have developed a new sector, but there's been people bouldering in Elba for a long time now. I've been there and opened problems more than 10 years ago and a friend of mine also published an online guide at the same moment...
It's a classic to start something without asking anyone if they started it already.
A couple of friends are very pi***d by this videos and "Rock slave project" about Elba.
I don't care anymore. I have my board luckily.

Nice work by the Irish team for not tick-marking Big Dragon to death.

[Schnell]

More on the Irish abroad theme. Debatable whether it's quality, but it's not mine so...
