this is the best climbing I've seen in ages.
No hd but still plenty of sweaty palms.
Not bouldering but plenty of high balls.
Proper old school climbing and tunes!
The ending- has got to hurt!

Great vid.  Great story... (Good to see the Paul Ingham & early 90's Ben Moon style never ages).

I hope this is a trailer for a proper film. The snippets of climbing footage are great but it's taking airpor car pick-ups, driving to the crag, parking the car, cleaning teeth, eating breakfast footage to new levels....

The Consumed disciples have produced the fruits of their efforts. 

ALOT of grit climbing in this video from Neil Furniss, some you'll know and some you won't 




personal fave moments are the Oli G cutting loose at the top of Simbas and all the falls off of 'Cover me in chocolate'

nice one Neil, i'm psyched for the grit finally.

D&B, Pixies, Primal Scream, sketching up Grit headpoints, Ron Hills (and Dreads in Tassie)... the 90s revival in full effect!

(What is the Neu!esque track for Drifter and Sole Survivor?)

The lads return for some more action.
Old school with some questionable music selections.
Looks like Tom has made a full recovery from his big groundfall in the last film.
Some top quality climbing.
If I went climbing with this lot I would probably be hospitalised within a few minutes!

Sonnie Trotter doing another 5.14 trad first ascent?? Nah can't see the appeal really  ;)

That was cool. The kid's expressions are LOL. Climbing looked great, pity there wasn't a second cameraman though.

Yes, but at least it was the FA and nothing else. For example, the Squib/Tasmania video was super slick but there were so many camera angles they can't have all been the FA and I didn't know which was which - it detracted from it for me.

Bloody meaty runout on the Trotter thing!

Yup, I suspect in the vein of it being too hard to stop and place gear....

The video is sick but don't give you a sense of how steep that line is:


The whole story is here and worth reading, plus has some other angles of the climb

Looks mega.

Some less-than-subtle attempts to stir the pot on 8a have drifted off into the ether without comment:

"What a great video and line that maybe could have been even better if he had continued to the top and not started with three preplaced pieces? "

More interesting to me is Trotter's write up, with vague attempts to pretend like dragging your partner and newborn to the crag for a belay isn't a tad selfish. They do look like happy campers in the vid though, and at least the wee one is old enough to interact with the environment at this point, so perhaps a bit judgemental on my part.

Those comments *should* disappear without trace. It's pretty obvious from the video that continuing above the anchors would be pretty easy, and it would be similarly easy to climb up to place the first few cams then downclimb. 8a.nobs

The kid thing.....well....I guess that depends on the reality of how it works for them  :shrug:
