Bring out your dabs (Read 294033 times)

L'Oblique must be a contender for most dabbed, probably 2 out of 3 "ascents" that I've witnessed have involved dragging the floor or bumping the block.

That's the only reason I "haven't" done the bloody thing. Keep dabbing!

L'Oblique is also a candidate for the most inappropriately lax spotting I've ever seen. I watched a guy (very stupidly, admittedly) try some mad slap to nothing with his left hand when he got stuck halfway through the mantle, fall straight onto his arse on the block and get pitched backwards to land on his ear/neck on the ground below, missing the pads (fuck knows how, but he was fine, if shaken). His friends were putting on their shoes for their shot at glory at the time $:-\$

I was once told off by an old local Bleauseard for using chalk on this as he was smashing the shit out of the rock with a load of pof...

Jesusfuckingchrist not every single bit of rock in the world has to become a boulder problem.

Looks like he was trying to dig out a lower start with his heel

Must have been able to smell truffles. Who did you even find that video??

As a low grade Font punter I spend my evenings watching videos of off-piste problems on bleau.info in the hope of finding some soft touches

. I once sat under that problem, couldn't do the start......looked better than in the vid.

This was brought to my attention yesterday. Dmac continuing to fly the flag for Scottish dabbing by having a quick lie down on a rock at 0:29.

between 33rd and 34th second there is definitely a cut out section, could have been a long lie down. Unless he's developed some Neo bullet time skills, and just goes blurry sometimes.

I wonder how many times he dabbed on Practice of the Wild

Despite the heinous dab and rock eroding slithers, theres some decent technique on display considering they're a 'sturdy calf'...

Kicks that wood so hard he nearly causes a forest fire.

M. Papillon is a bit of a hero of mine, I've spent hours, probably hundreds poring over his bleau.info vids, getting psyched for the weekend. I met him once and it was my awestruck moment, much more so than when Jacky Godoffe's dog barked at me.

He climbs well for a larger gentlemen, apparently he peaked at 7C some years back, surprisingly light on his toes, like a Gaillic John Dunne.
