Title: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Mike Tyson on November 02, 2006, 10:16:37 pm
Right then, it has taken me a considerably long time to flip my video 90 degree's. I'm now happy.

So, this is a thread for anyone with bad quality bouldering video's.

Select the zoom out function or I look dead fat.........

Good stuff, my kind of top out.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Mike Tyson on November 02, 2006, 10:28:51 pm
Haha! Thanks. You'll agree its of the highest low quality.

I was very proud. The thing is, I could have topped out in a much more stylish manner, but I just couldn't be arsed. I also like the way I appear to just wander off at the side of the clip, Hollywood here I come.

No posing, thtas my natural appearance......

Its at Bowden Doors, at the far left end of the crag. Was a bit sandy but onse clean was great.

Cheers for starting this Golt :great:

the quality is pretty dire cause it's taken on a still camera but I had a laugh trying to edit it together

never up in the peak long enough to work anything hard but all these problems are quality (possibly not the way I climb them but still....)

Thanks for the hat compliments I have a selection of head wear that most would be too sensible to don
Golt, think you went on about "shirts off for power" in another thread- I own the hats of power!!!!!

but seriously thanks for the positives

Got a proper camera now and due to family buying property on portland I might try and do something a bit more professional about the problems down there

hmmm- wonder if I could catch Ty on his project :-\

so, here is a brief account of a days work under the roof, for those who may care.
its a strange video, beware, cos i was alone, and i thought i would edit it as less as i could, like a little documentary.
i hope you like it and id like to hear your opinion.

Post by: Palomides on November 07, 2006, 12:55:51 pm
 :-[

I like it.

It reminds me of the many occasions I'm out bouldering on my own - the silence, the occasional cursing, the extra care one takes without spotters.

Nice not to have music. Nice to see the attempts then the topout.

Good stuff.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Bonjoy on November 07, 2006, 01:33:29 pm
I'm at work so only see it without sound. Class looking prob, good angles and editting. How hard is is? Is there a straight up version?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dr T on November 07, 2006, 02:07:21 pm
great work Nibile, as bonjoy says great looking problem too...
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Nibile on November 07, 2006, 02:42:49 pm
thanks guys,
it makes me happy!!!
on that roof there are actually three lines:
the seam i start on, that tops out straight from the rh sloper
the line that starts from the hold i dyno from, and goes left to said sloper and tops out
and the one move dyno i finish with

so the project puts them all together.
as for the grade, its still undone, but its way hard for me, and also a bit tricky to grade, being so long: the downward moves to gain the match hold a re very hard, especially the last one, cos the holds get smaller and smaller, and the last one to get is right in front of your chest, rather then on one side, so its difficult to hold it. we think around 7c+
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dr T on November 07, 2006, 04:08:29 pm
I think the seam would be more at my level :whistle:
(especially after six months out - bastard back)

Post by: Blunk on November 07, 2006, 05:47:01 pm
Nice Nibile, your video reminds me of my many solo bouldering excursions. I have often thought of bringing the camcorder along but always decided against it due to having to carry two pads, cleaning gear, etc. You have inspired me, think I'll bring it soon.  :goodidea:

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Nibile on November 08, 2006, 11:16:04 am
nope, no sandtone close. a three hours drive is needed to pull on sandstone...

its ryolite, rounded and very rough.

Revamped the videos clips page on LB and added a few over the Yuletide period. Nothing that great, but they can be useful for beta.
New clips include - Prophets of Sound (Red Wall), Greg's Dyno (Red Wall), Hi Karate (Carrock), Lateral into the Ramp (Bowderstone), New Thorn Crag Problem and the One-Hand Dyno (Red wall)...

I can't believe you didn't go carnage! From the video you looked like you could easily have done it. I'm sure it will be in the bag next trip! As for duroxmani, why did you use the big jug at the start for your hand but not your foot? The direct doesn't use that jug, and indirect does use it, but you've done something inbetween! Nice topout too...  ;)  (and that comes from the king of retarded topouts)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: chappers on January 07, 2007, 11:24:09 am
 ;D i didnt get the time on vid that i managed to do the next move then fall off the "easy" campus move to that big boss. total pisser.

as for Duroxmanie that was a first go, so i wasnt all that polished on the top out, and i didnt have a guide (just a description of what it looked like) so didnt really have a clue where it went, i whish i knew that there was a straight up, i would have done that!

judging from the dirt road the walk down and from the right turn, id say meschia nuova, the sector that is still open, and not secret at all (the owner is a friend of mine and has opened an agriturismo there, so its happy if people go there and sleep at his place), but dunno the wall. maybe its somewhere further down the woods, i havent found every problem thats been done.

maybe worth the search. :)

I don't care if he was having the time of his life. I'm elitist, I only want to see hard things or interesting places (preferably both).

In a parallel universe somewhere this man is climbing what appears to be something very similar to Jerry's Traverse at Stanage. Whoever said it was only us brits with out small bits of rock that enjoy scraping our bums on the floor???

I agree with Uncle here. The good thing about UKB is that in opposite with many similar boards, is that here you get lots of useful informations about training, new spots, news etc. And if you start posting such things in diet, training and injuries instead in shootin the shit, UKB will become like other boards.

Dave, you are one deluded individual if you think that is a non-quality production. Some seriously smooth camera work and edits, excellent stuff. Only thing missing perhaps is the naming of some of the problems, but this doesn't detract at all from what you've made. Really should be moved into Quality bouldering videos.

Out of interest, how did you transfer it from the old style Super8 to the modern electronic?  Do you get Super8s with line outputs?
Excellent vid though!!

My birds brother works for a production company and he got it transferred on their telecine machine.

its a small video of an italian strongman doing karma. its very average, but, despite the fact that i know the climber and hes not funny at all, his g/f joy really turned this into a very nice video.

recently i did something very hard, that i had been thinking about for the whole winter (stupidly didnt include it in the ticklist). i managed to do it somehow, with noone in sight, just my girl spotting. the following day, at home, i found a note from her on the table, that read: "i never thought that a boulder problem could make me this happy".
feel the love.

Yeah you're probably right but I've found people are less inclined to watch them if you have to download them. What I might do is offer both mediums, i.e. a quick and easy Youtube version with a link underneath to download the higher quality original.

There is a Woodwell vid now up, nothing new but useful for anyone seeking beta.

Oh yes I should have warned people about the socks in the r-hand arete video - I forgot to roll them down and was shocked myself when I played it back  ::).

Sorry Stubbs, don't know why that should happen - try downloading them?

They are taken on a Canon Powershot A640, which saves them as .AVI, and converted (and compressed etc) to .MP4 by some MPEG converter that was linked on here.

The last problem is an arete at Buthiers Piscine North, where Buthiers Piscine meets the road again. Lots of great aretes at Buthiers.

Blunk, it wasn't too hot out there - 20'C max and nice in the shade/evening. Hot enough for me to grease a lot but quite tolerable. Duro is pretty positive. I struggled on some rounded stuff.

well have a look see what you think, for a couple of punters (at both websites and climbing) I'm pretty pleased with the outcome....

Ok, my first ever little climbing film.   :great:

Most definately falls into the non quality bouldering videos, but you have to start somewhere and learning to use the camera as well as learning to use Adobe Premier Elements, its going to take a little while to get used to. Footage is all from a tripod so not great angles, but bear with it, also lost some quality with Utube upload  ::)

Errr, yes, was last night! Edited this afternoon though.
Ill take note of the swipe effects, i was just knocking something together quickly, so didnt really play around.

It does have 2 ll's Oops...

Elements is good. Pretty easy to use and you can do most stuff you need though. I want to learn how to incorporate two angles into a shot, so you can switch in and out, rather than just having the climb shown in two different angles after each other a la Big Marine..... Need to get a book.

Do you mean picture in picture or flipping between angles by cutting?
I used the more excitin transitions when I started out but they started to get annoying after a while so I tend to just use differing length fades now.
Why did you edit Big Marine before you topped out?  :whistle:

Ifyou mean flipping between angles you kust edit clip lengths to the points you want the change to occur, then use a short transition (fade is best) between them.  Is this the sort of thing you mean (Ridiculous Eliminate (http://brownstones.wetpaint.com/page/06a.++Obscenity+Wall+Eliminates))?  Faster transition would give snappier flip between views if you wanted.

errr, also, in the interest of "the rules"  :-\ the vickers elimate, eliminates the large rail that you grab with your left hand. i.e. you have to go all the way to the higher ledge with your left by camming your left foot into the starting hand hold, using the right hand hold that you get from the shoulder with your left. (that made sense, right??)

Suffice to say they are 2/3 grades below outdoor grades. They are a law unto themselves.

uncle,
do you really need to get more in shape?
i dont like being schooled by visiting britmonsters on my home turf!!!
c'mon, im psyched too!!!
 :bow:

Nibile, methinks you're in for a spanking. Better plot your strategy now...take Uncle to the greasiest lines in sweltering heat and assure him they are merely warm-ups. Substitute talc for his chalk. Distract him with beautiful women. Pour beer down his gullet in multi-liter quantities.

And if all that fails to slow him, deprive him of Weetabix!

It's actually in a separate boulder field further across the hillside towards Ogwen Cottage. There are some basic directions in the orginal Decoy Ploy news item (see the link at the bottom of the NWB.com page).

I haven't been for a tour of the new stuff yet (although I did climb a load of sub V6 things here about 5 years ago) - keep getting distracted by bolts and limestone, and various other things.

The cave itself is quite an amazing feature, but sadly the holds are often sandy / usually greasy. Optimise visit based on tides. There has been a bit of development in the caves at Cullen too, and a bit at Banff. Probably a lot more on that coast.

I have nothing to do with the border! It comes out that way.... I've just got premier elements 3 which should make life easier. Not used it yet, but it looks much easier to use, and produce better results....

Off to Wales now for 3 days so should have some good stuff on my return!

Thanks for your feedback.
Things I learnt from my video:
1. Dont bother filming in the first place if you haven got a third man to film. Belaying and keeping a steady camera at the same time is hard.
2. Use climbing partner's girlfriends proper camcorder next time instead of the cybershot P-200 video function.
3. Learn to use video editing software properly.
4. Shout at climbing partner for his daft driving louder and more often.

Inspired by Adam Lincoln (borders) and Will Hunt (crap video), here's some bouldering in Glen Nevis. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9uVRp4HHg4)  Nothing good I'm afraid:  The Prow (V1), Maizie Gunn's Magic Midgie Cream (V4), a miserable effort on Hamish (V6) and Midnight in a Perfect World (V7).

We've tried some different stuff here (tripod as short boom, dual images) so any thoughts would be good.

Yeah, those things.  This has a border as I ripped it back from DVD (forgot the backup) witht the wrong settings and was too lazy to re-do it.

Having a border isn't usually standard, it depends which output settings you use.  Wasn't a criticism mind!

I did the Maizie thing the other week, its good - seem i went a bit more direct to the nose than in your vid. also did the eliminate V7 on the right - shite. and what about the alleged V8 up the middle of that roof? looks like so o's pie in the sky to me. V8 going on 8a?

Dunno, we were only there for 2 hours.  Had a brief look at The Morrighan (Font 8a+) and the Morrighan Direct (Font 8b).  Look interesting.  Minute crimps and steeper than the rent on a Chelsea flat.
Maybe you did the original Maizie at font 7b? (http://climb-guide.com/boulder-guide/glen_nevis_boulders.html)  There was/is a vid on Stone Country somewhere of Maizie but I can't find it now.  SOrry.

Dave:  I know it's bollox, and I'm surprised it's still online.  Even the Ballard guide has tons of 8s in the Glen  :-\

Adam:  Excellent vid.  Only suggestion would be a smoother transition between the two parts of Mr. Fantastic.  I usually do a cut like that when I've fallen off something, so I try to disguise it.  Better without the border too  :lol:

Personally I find no transition a bit sudden.  A very short fade (even 6 frames) smooths it nicely and makes it easy on the eye.
Wipes look like turds though.

So here's another from me, of course the numbers are nowhere near those on Adam's films but really I'm just trying to keep a record of the climbing my wife and I are doing so I can look back when I'm properly old and broken...

As for the editing I just used Power Director Express which I got bundled with the PC, does most simple things except speed up/slow down so I run effects on some footage in windows Movie Maker before importing the doctored sequences (doesn't look to be any loss in quality)

Anyways it's embedded in the website my wife made 'cause it's too big to youtube

So http://climbing-cats.co.uk/index.htm (http://climbing-cats.co.uk/index.htm) then video's and the top vid' Portland Spring 2007 Vol 2 is the new one

as ever all comments are welcome on the video or the website... enjoy...

Finally found a way to get decent video on to youtube! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS To Get it to play properly, click it, then pause and wait for the whole thing to load. It says it's 5m43s but it's actually 1m12s or somthing. This is due to the algorithm used to get decent footage on youtube.

So here is a video of Powerband (I apologise for not doing it in better style but it was my first time and I didn't really have a sequence sorted and blah blah blah... insert excuses here)

1) go to the nearest airport that flies into pisa;
2) get out of the plane and search for a moustached italian;
3) get in the car with him;
4) go climbing the whole time.

warning: number 2) is crucial: be sure you find the right moustached italian. i don't accept any responsability for what may happen in other moustached italians' cars.

Since are so appreciative of the beta, I ought to point out that the last eliminate is not the alleged 7b+ listed in Ru's guide. In this clip I launch to a slopey edge (RH) a few inches below the top before going again to the jug. The hard one in Ru's guide goes direct to the jug (RH) - I haven't got any footage of that yet coz I'm too fat to do it consistently at the mo. It feels like 7b when I do get it.

Aye.
Gout and arthritis dictate the comfortable shoes (yes, really).
Good conditions mean no chalk needed; and there's is enough in-situ chalk anyway.
Careful editing means that there is no crash pad to spoil the retro effect.

I would appreciate a bit of constructive critisism relating to the filming/editing of this clip (not some of the other drivel I sometimes post). I try to set myself a time limit for editing and don't get bogged down tweaking it too much, mainly becuse I don't know what i am doing.
My thoughts are - the "music" is pants; and i may have included too many different angles with not enough fade between clips.
Does it give a good idea of what is involved in doing the problem?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: GCW on November 17, 2007, 08:41:52 pm
Comments?  The music made it feel like a cross between Ground Force and Mike Oldfield live.  But you knew that.
It started well, nice transition for the toe hook.  After that, I think you started using too many shots/ angles.  Something simpler would be better, I think.  Not at all bad though.
I assume you're on your own with a tripod.  It isn't always easy to do decent vids, I know as I have to do it that way myself.
Keep doing them though!!  Good stuff.

Quality! bit of a pain waiting for it to start to download (without an acount).
There is a way of getting better quality on pootube, whilst still using their bandwidth/space etc.
Still takes time for viewers to download it though. Works for my non-qualities.

Stage6 is worth a shot for larger screen size vids at reasonable quality (good for older relatives). Viewers need to download a player thingy and you need to use their converter to turn your film into DivX, but it can work great. Viewers can chose to download or watch as streaming video.

Cool. Nice effect. Just my opinion, but I'd have preferred it if when the camera angle changes (how did you do that by the way? Was it a wider angle shot that was cropped, or did you have a camera person?) the scenery didn't have that shadow effect, only the person. Just my thoughts. Quite enjoyed it still.

It was filmed in  w i d e s c r e e n  and then cropped. If I had kept it all static when I applied the ghosting layer then only the moving figure would have been affected - like it is for the first couple of problems....you are right, it does look better.

Actually, I like the panning shot, but I was wondering about the ghosting layer being applied only to the person, and the scenery being solid/static whilst panning, if that makes any sense?

Aha, I get it now. Apply the ghosting to the whole widescreen clip before any panning/cropping/moving (maybe render at that point), then do the pan/crop.  Yep, that'd work perfect - the rock and scenery would be solid/static and the moving bald guy would be ghosted when wanted. Thanks for the inspiration  :thumbsup:

(Assume Deliverence?) I got it first go today while warming up and then couldn't do it again  :( which prompted me to make the daft film.
Mate of mine did it static off sitting on a right smear and crimping in on the flake. Wasn't his heel though. I ought to try to do it the static way... it would be far more satisfying. :dream:

Deliverance.   Basic, but very long for the very short.



Please don't say Bransby (who is 2 or 3" taller), I've never forgiven him for suggesting he was weak one time at The Beacon (and he's climbed on grit since he was 4 or something).  Eh Mocho?

I know a 5ft1 Welshman who has done it off his heel. I'd love to see this technique in action, it sounds amazing.

Heels aside, when people talk about doing Deliverance static, do they really mean static, or are they just talking about using the high smear and pulling through to the top?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Houdini on February 13, 2008, 12:46:16 am
Understand it to be LF high smear, RF & RH on sidejug, up to top w/ LH.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: lagerstarfish on February 13, 2008, 12:54:13 am
I've seen (me peering down from the top - so very close up) proper static from RF on smear below side hold, LF straight down from there, RH crimping on side hold and then rock up so effectively sitting on RF then LH can reach the top static. Wasn't a short person though... I want to do it.

Quote from: http://locals.extremekanal.com/england_peakdistrict.htm
5. DELIVERANCE font. 7b/+ (B9) Stanage "Plantation"
Because of extraordinary long distance between holds in not really overhanging slab the problem is technically very difficult to be estimated. Some people who are lower height talk about B10, meanwhile taller talk about easier grade. It had been statically done by March Le Menestrel. There is a joke about basket-ball player who took a pounce and pushed off from the lower part directly to the good upper hold. Otherwise, the problem begins on the left part, then it converts into slightly traversing to the right and then we have a legendary leap from extraordinary bad footholds directly to the top. For certain, the most appropriate is lower temperature and good spotting, mainly with bouldering pads. The number of movements is approximately 6.

This heel method sounds totally sick, yet another peak classic obliterated by the heel.  ???

Curiously enough when trying the 'rockover' method, stepping on the thin seam a few inches below the sidepull with the right foot, any use of the pebble high and left must be eschewed as this tends to throw you off balance and mean you gain less height. Just throw all in one motion, not that I've done it yet!

Aye, that's why this "static" method sounds odd, because it implies two moves - rockover, then reach. I'm not saying it's impossible, but for me, and most people I've seen, the move is a fluid pull/standup. When it goes right, anyway.

Alternatively, try it one handed:

He was on this problem for a long time and made some very impressive locks on 8mm edges.  Waddage.  I think this vid only confirms my opinion that top flight boulderers are chronic underachievers.  Imagine what people could do if they really had to try hard.  The slapping/sketching, fear, sloppiness of a man on the brink.  That's not something we get to see very often.  In fact it's something one sees more often in beginners.

Sorry Jasper, but I've never seen what you describe in the flesh, I'm sure it occurs, but I've yet to see it.

cf.  A marathon runner collapsing in the road when they've pushed themselves so hard.  Boulderers don't reach their physical limits, they just don't.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Jaspersharpe on March 27, 2008, 10:10:36 am
That's a shit analogy though. You're not going to collapse with exhaustion after a four move problem however near your physical limit it is. FFS how many times do you try and try and try something only for it to feel easy when you do it. This doesn't mean that you can automatically do something much harder or in fact that you can even repeat the problem. Sometimes it just means that you got it perfectly right and everything, conditions, technique, power levels, mental state and TRYING REALLY FUCKING HARD clicked. I refute the claim that nobody is trying hard 100%.

Thats a bit like comparing chalk and cheese though.

What would be the physical limit for bouldering?  Didn't John Gill snap a tendon in his bicep whilst bouldering?  Surely that would be putting things close to the physical limit, but is far more damaging than collapsing from exhaustion which you can make a fairly good recovery from?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: lagerstarfish on March 27, 2008, 10:19:44 am
I think that the number of tendon/muscle/ligament injuries that boulderers get on a fairly regular basis demonstrates that they are pushing themselves to their limits. I am right and you are wrong and I'm not listening anymore lalalalalalalalalala not listening lalalalala

Also, Houdi baby, you are making the awful mistake of trying to compare bouldering as a sport FFS. This is a serious category error. Bouldering is somewhere between an Art and a Hobby, but not a Sport.  ;)

out of 10 people who snap a tendon or find their bicep suddenly next to their shoulder, 10 of them haven't warmed up sufficiently. fred has done this, however he is like judge dredd, above the law

i had 2 finger injuries last year, both these were due to thinking i was warm, one was also the direct result of listening to a ginger

I would disagree. 9 out of 10 maybe, but I think there are a small percentage who just push themselves to far too fast. Would anyone disagree with the fact that the pulley takes a lot longer (3x ?) to strengthen, than the muscles, or the tendon does? Therefore people who feel strong, and get on Rockatrocity after climbing for a year say, could quite easily be very well warmed up, but could still snap a pulley.

Oui? Non?

Shite vid.

Very impressive display of body tension and fitness, love the footwork indecisiveness.

He was on this problem for a long time and made some very impressive locks on 8mm edges.  Waddage.  I think this vid only confirms my opinion that top flight boulderers are chronic underachievers.  Imagine what people could do if they really had to try hard.  The slapping/sketching, fear, sloppiness of a man on the brink.  That's not something we get to see very often.  In fact it's something one sees more often in beginners.

gabriele is a monster indeed. we were laughing about it just yesterday. the bald man coming into the frame to spot (watch in awe) him is marco, italian crimpmaster, first ascender of Out of Service.

Nice. The spotting is incredible! Even when he does... was it Okey Dokie?... it might be the angle, but you look like you're stood about 10 metres downhill!

Post by: GCW on April 15, 2008, 10:38:30 pm
Yeah, we learned from the initial fuck up.  And it was about 8 feet downhill.  :lol:
You may note I put my hands down when Nik got the jug.  We were worried he'd pop off on the move to the jug and land on his head.  But we were wrong.  I put my hands down cos a) I thought he'd nailed it and b) to avoid a dab.   :oops:
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on April 15, 2008, 10:48:44 pm
Fair play to GCW the time I fell off was my first attempt at the move to the jug and I was more concerned about missing the hold and landing on my back. GCW was spotting me for that, then avoided the dab on the swing (and the probable concusion as I kick his head off kung-fu stylee - keee-yah).
When I didn't fall off he was stood in the best place to stop me should I do the same swing off the jug again. The ground really drops away so it is impossible for one person to spot both eventualities (i.e. spot the back on the move to the jug, and spot the swing off). GCW was very apologetic about the spotting but I think he's been overly harsh on himself. He did a fine job IMHO.

And anyway like he says, I did let go of the jug....

I have to admit, as you describe it, that's how I would've spotted (the back and head on the heel hook move), but then it would've been impossible to spot the swing (as you say). It's a case of the lesser of two evils I suppose?

Oh and the tune is ace, I see it as a metaphor. The roof is Clubber Lang I am Rocky and GCW is versatile enough to play both Mickey and Appollo. We should have done a big gay jumpy splashy hug montage in the resevoir down the hill just to make the image complete. Oh well next time.

papa lazarou is on the big block down and right of p,i,a,p if your looking uphill.its the very r/h arete again as you look up hill.i remember thinking the problems on this block didn't really have much of a line also the top outs looked to be the hard bits.
also the description in the guide for pig etc reads start under the roof.use flakes and anything else that comes to hand to finish up the front of the roof.(a broken flake may make this even harder!)
i did it with a sit start then the line as per vid having watched this before i went there.however as it was given v8 i wasn't sure whether it was just overgraded or you were supposed to climb the roof direct without the holds on the lip.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: GCW on April 17, 2008, 08:41:38 am
papa lazarou is on the big block down and right of p,i,a,p

Is that the one with a cave under it?  Looks like scope for a hard, fingery silly problem exiting the cave/roof and going straight up the face?  With a traverse on the next face round right?

PIAP seems more logical the way Nik does it in the vid.  And then you get 2 independant (and good) problems along the lips of the roof.  We also thought about doing Okey Dokey to the end, then back along PIAP.  Would be hard reversing PIAP, and a little rubbish probably.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on April 17, 2008, 08:45:54 am
Nice one webbo. So maybe Okey Dokey is actually Pig In A Pokey? In which case Pig In A Pokey could actually be Okey Dokey???

I suppose the V8 grade makes more sense for the line I took as Okey Dokey, although it is probably possible to do some hybrid line combining the two....

Anyway good info providing skills.

As for Papa Lazarou, the block this is on was the only other block that looked to have some potential. Maybe our judgement was clouded by the fact that I was tired (having done some climbing) and GCW was miserable (having done some falling off) but nothing really stood out as a mega line. Oh well one mans poison etc etc etc.

May go back and have another look when I'm next over that way.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on April 17, 2008, 08:50:35 am
Just to be clear, I get the impression that most people do Pig In A Pokey as shown in the video. The Okey Dokey line (as in the video) may be the original line of Pig In A Pokey but I think that when people go and climb Pig In A Pokey they climb what we thought was Pig In A Pokey. As it is the obvious line with obvious holds, the holds on ther other line look/feel awful by comparison and the whole problem appears MUCH harder (even though it isn't MUCH harder).

Obviously this is all just wild speculation and conjecture on my part...
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: webbo on April 17, 2008, 09:07:10 am
maybe it got v8 for the landing i remember anchoring my mats down with tooth brushes and nail clippers to stop them surfing off into the next county.just looking at the guide i guess most things are a little on the generous side grade wise.the slopey traverse with the extended start is given v5 and i think in order to get to fit this grade i avoided using the obvious foot rail.
these are some of the other probs on pig block
the royston vasey trav.trav under roof left to right.v4
precious things dyno.somehow reach the break in the end of the roof and dyno for the top.v5 this sounds like the finishing move to pig.
also the guide states.
many of the new problems where done during the winter so are graded for those conditions.in summer,when the rock is perfectly dry and its not blowing a gale,they might seem easier.
obviously we all been doing it wrong.

We did this when looking at PIAP/OD.  It's about 1-4 I think, and V5 would be pretty generous for me.  I'd have said more like V2/3.  Obviously if you're crap at campussing it'd feel harder.

EDIT:  And it was hailing on and off when we were there, some of the slots on PIAP were a bit damp, but didn't affect things a lot.  I can imagine a winter coat would though.

i was there in the middle of summer and i would have preferred the current weather conditions.also get the impression that the author of the guide might not have done all the problems as some the descriptions are a bit vague i.e. pig in a pokey its described like its the living end.

Hold on to your hats you crazy cats and check this shit out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT1scD0MDmQ

I present to you Isle of Man bouldering. The above cinematic masterpiece is Laxey beach. This is a nice spot with about 20 or so problems ranging from easy (3) to trickier (7a/+) and 3 or 4 harder projects (at least until I'm over there when it's not 7,000 degrees in the shade). The rock is a sea polished slate so friction is poor, often making problems feel harder than they look, it's generally pretty solid (I haven't pulled any holds off) but fat lads should probably proceed with care (Sloper). Now I'm not advocating that everybody should leap on the ferry, a new Font this aint, but should you find yourself heading to the Isle of drunkards it is worth taking a pair of boots and a mat. Also Doug Hall lives over there so you can find yourself climbing with a genuine bona fide legend.

Now try not to all spunk your pants at once but I've got some footage of Peel bouldering (sea polished sandstone) which I will soon carve into another piece of youtube gold. Wait patiently my pretties...

Post by: GCW on July 31, 2008, 10:36:04 am
R-man (who else?) bigged up the place a few years ago, so I went and did most of the stuff, plus added the slap and the traverse.  As far as I know, nobody has been there since, until I went the other day.
My two amazing additions have been done a couple of times by me, but noone else- which I don't consider being "repeated".

It's 5 minutes from home, which is why I went.  It's a nice place with a few good problems (a few= less than 6), now becoming ruined by kids smashing bottles, adding graffiti, making fires under problems etc.

Bit like Woodwell was, until it became popular :lol:


EDIT:  To clarify, R-Man and pals discovered the place.  R-Man and Andi_e (plus others) did most of the stuff there originally, so blame them  :P

Pebble Wall would be a class ambition for you ms. pie. A lot about subtelty and "knack".
I'm all about the subtlety me and I am about due for a weekend thrashing about on grit.  Watch this space (for comedy videos).

Is UTG wearing socks or anklewarmers?? Wad point if it's the former.
Double wad points for the latter, only the best people boulder in ankle / legwarmers.  :whistle:

Lagers, if you have a tutorial on output formats I'd be interested.  I tried a few times and only managed to output as 666MB or the 250MB file I used  :rtfm:
And is there a simple fade between clips that doesn't go via some other colour?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on October 23, 2008, 09:32:23 pm
I think if you just drag the clips so they slightly overlap you get a simple crossfade, I'm sure that worked for me.

Its true. If the clips are on the same track, just overlap them by however long you want the fade to take.

There is something on Vimeo about what output setting to use with Vegas

Nah, I got h264 sorted.  I tried using it as a QuickTime file as well as variations on MPEG h264, but I couldn't tweak the file size as easily as I can in Adobe.  It's likely I'm just missing something else.

Nice, GCW, very nice.
Using an NLE program with which you are familiar combined with a rather good camera probably takes about 2 full font grades off everything  ;)

The title of your film suggests that you were at the crag for 85 minutes, yet even the most unobservant viewer can not fail to see that the direction of the shadow cast by the talent on the first and last scenes is pretty much the same. This indicates quite clearly that the session took far less than 85 mins. Perhaps you have missed a decimal point and the correct title should refer to the 8.5 minutes spent on the session? Hopefully this is the case and not, as some members have suggested, that you filmed the access and egress scenes at the same time instead of them being a genuine portrayal of the events as they occurred.

Do you really think I'm gonna run up and down that hill more than twice?


The real answer is that it was a very dull day, and I wasn't happy with the lighting.  All of the shadows were created by a high luminescence light array, hence why everything is bright.  The scenes on the track were 85 minutes aprt, but because I put the lights back in the same place the shadows didn't move.

Hope that makes sense.

I wasn't referring to lank my shortarsed friend (although it doesn't surprise me that you jumped on that particular bandwagon again). What I meant was that his "frog with wind" climbing style makes everything look like a bit of a struggle.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on November 21, 2008, 10:27:07 am

Does that mean his lank offsets the "frog with wind" effect, so the grades stand?
Maybe GCW is of such strong moral fibre that he deliberately adopts an awkward style to counter his cheating lank. If only all tallies were equally fair-minded... :)

Post by: GCW on November 21, 2008, 11:36:29 am
I may just have bad wind.  Ribbit.

Interestingly I haven't seen anyone else do mothership using my method.  Everyone else seems to stick a high right foot in the groove thingy, and either heel/toe round left or flag the left foot waaay out right.  I tried these, but the immense lank, beer gut, inflexibility and wind prevented me from managing.  The left heel works very well for me.

Nik, you still haven't realised that all problems are harder for the tall.

Forgot to say, and please don't think I'm pissing on anyones bonfire as it's a bon effort.
In Bloom always used to start from the big hold on Skint Knuckles (round to the left of Slap Happy).  Only 2 extra moves but it cocks up your hands on the Slap Happy starting hold.  I used to match hands, which made a bigger reach out right.  Some people did a tricky hand jive to get crossed as you were at the start.  Having said that, Pongo is still the crux :lol:
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: willackers on December 12, 2008, 09:25:51 pm

 ???

I was told it started from the jug on Slap Happy and that's where I've seen everyone else starting it, I can't see it being much of a problem starting further left as long as you take the jug on Slap Happy correctly with crossed hands.

Classic problem anyway, top end 7c as well I think.

Jeez, Adam- tapes are so cheap just buy fresh ones.  Plus you may risk drop outs if you re-use them.

Haha, i kind of just want a spring clean of crap footage and get rid of it online! Start a fresh, new, good footage, and start using final cut. Cant get into premier. I just end up editing in imovie. After font will be different though  ;)

That dog gets fucking loads of donuts, and anyway she loves bombing around a wide variety of crags in all weather. It's certainly a step up from being confined in a room with a marauding 1 year old....

Nice vid GCW, you could have edited out the Vitruvian top out though :)

My feelings about that Virgin problem are pretty "mixed" too.  I was really proud and happy to manage it as burly dynamism is most definitely not my thang.  But, I really hope I never have to do it again! I could only make those slaps with the aid of a pretty heinous heel-toe jam and I feel lucky not to have shattered my leg after some of the falls I stupidly kept on taking. 

Anyway, good work Jim fella.

Post by: lagerstarfish on April 01, 2009, 01:38:15 am
There's a bit of a story to that video. Couldn't think how to fit it into the editing though.

I was discussing gritstone bouldering with Magpie in the pub last week - she expressed a desire to get on some easy grit slabs. This got me enthusing about The Lone Boulder at Stanage and this in turn reminded me how much I enjoy the slab/mantel problems there and also that I hadn't been there for a long time. The next day at work I was still thinking longingly about the boulder and had a strong feeling that I had neglected myself by not getting there for so long.

I had planned to get up to the Plantation on Sunday morning, but some foolish early beers on Saturday with Otter after no tea resulted in nothing more than minor DIY getting done on Sunday. Hit work early on Monday and, after sorting out the diary, realised that I was able to get out on the grit early afternoon. I was thinking about climbing all morning - this in itself was pretty uplifting as I haven't felt that keen since last spring.

During the morning I went to visit someone in hospital and in the absence of anything positive in their life for us to have a conversation about I ended up gushing on about how excited I was to be going out on the grit that afternoon and couldn't think of anything else. For some reason, my rambling reminded my visitee of the Willie Nelson song "always on my mind" - except they couldn't remember the lyrics, the title or who sung it, due to their condition. So I did a bit of prompting and the result was a bit of therapeutic singing in the hospital which gave rise to a long missed smile and a bit of chuckling from my visitee.

The song was going through my head as I drove out to Stanage - I was even singing it thinking about the boulder - and as you would expect was with me throughout the session. I did a load of filming and generally had an ace time - as evidenced by the video.

The person I visited in hospital on Monday died last night. I found out this morning when I got to the hospital. Lots of emotions flying about, so I didn't feel like carrying on working the rest of the day. Work are pretty good about stuff like that, so I came home.

To keep me occupied I edited my footage from the Lone Boulder session - that's the result above. I am pleased with the result. Mind you the grades are bound to be a bit wrong due to my lack of practice.

*edit*

I didn't mean for this tale to put a sombre dampener on the thread  -   I'm pretty upbeat about the whole thing. We all have to go sometime.

I'm afraid not. The juggy slot, and the crimps to it's left, are parts of hold I. The juggy slot didn't used to exist, as there was a block in there which made hold I crimps, like the ones to the left of the juggy slot as it is now. This is why problems like Jerry's problem specifically use the crimps part of I, as going for the juggy slot is obviously much easier.

Really? That's ace.  :thumbsup: It probably is Eng 6b if you're only 5' 4". Any idea if he bothered with the sit start? (insert joke about all starts being sit starts for short people)

it looks a lot like the plombergstein in austria near Saltzburg. Went here maybe 6-7 years ago to check out this Klem area. Basically an enormos cliff that takes at least 1hour or so to walk round. It was freezing cold, we got lost and i thought there was a chance we'd freeze to death.

some cool looking routes and a massive wall from what i remember but lot's of hideously chipped, sika created routes.

anyone else been theer and have more info. we didn't climb and i couldn't suss whether it was worth going back. Think i have a guide somewhere.

To be fair, I didn't actually "weight" the dab, it was more of a, well, "downward brush". :whistle:

Just a couple of small points:
1) Aeon Prow? There's no climbing of Aeon Prow going on there.
2) All the chalk marks above the holds were removed before we left, they were there to soak up the water flowing down the face not donkey marks (my eyesight isn't that bad), the rock is dark grey because it was running with water.

Nice ending.

Eskdale is a prime spot, although the bouldering is limited. What bouldering is there is very good though. Rob's Wall is a three star classic, so is the Diamond. Haven't properly explored the area but there some other nice problems dotted around - all in the Lakes bouldering guide. The views are spectacular and you can even catch the miniture steam train there. Amazing!
The rock is pretty rough so take some tape just in case

I see you are encoding them as avi.  You may well get better quality if you encode as MPEG4 or QuickTime- at least within the file size limitations.

The quality of the video compression seemed fine to me. I can't say the same for the climbing though, hopefully the future may bring a better way to encode shit traverses as inspiring up lines. Is it mandatory to have a little lie down after the first couple of moves?

Here is a very shoddy clip of my pb on the home campus board.

Needless to say it was filmed with the camera on its edge, so I had a bit of an epic rotating it. Took the opportunity to make myself look a tiny bit taller 

I think I'm impressed by that.

Really good effort!

Now here's a thorny question.....
It was always done with that sequence and that's 8a no doubt.  But with the nasty finger lock it's about 7b+.
Soooo, should we think of Pongo sitter as a classic 8a, or just a bad sequence for a 7b+?

It used to be on my blog as a tiny really low res blogger video. I got inspired a few years ago when Rudden told me that the Earl had been doing this sort of thing, so I started trying.

I can't believe it took so long for someone to find that finger lock!   ::)

You have a good point, the new guide has about 4 different grades for it now which is a bit silly, I think if you really want the classic Pongo tick you have to do it the 8a way.

Some people will tell you it's harder to use that grim lock anyway  :lol:

Yes.
1.
Come along and I'll make you a brew.

Out of interest, the one ascent did a more direct start to get the sidepull as a gaston with the LH, which is harder.  I am told (at great length) how difficult the top bit is though, so whether or not the GayVariant start makes the whole thing easier is up for debate.
I'm sticking to the proper start though.

Like the second method here:

I've treated the RF pocket, so now you can bump the RF up to a smear to get the gaston.  Nearly nailed it yesterday, so I think a technical genius like you would ace it.

I also think this is the same thing as Tom's problem. I was told that Tom used a hold out left near the crack, but I repeated it like this about 6 (?) weeks ago after a couple of sessions (i.e. without the left hold) because I couldn't do Tom's version. Good addition to the crag.

Your kinda both right. I think it is just a version of bizarre ride, ned tried it this way cause he said the other way hurt his skin too much and nacho just wanted to do it that way. Looks a good variant though nice one tom

I didn't try Tom's origonal method, which I suppose I should have done. I just thought this was a proj so just spent my skin on that.

The problem I called Welford's Wall in the vid is right next to that arete. From looking at it whilst standing on the ground, it seems potentially OK to top rope but harrowing on the lead unless you could wheedle in some RP's in those thin cracks.

I assume Dense is being funny asking about that arete, what with it being such an obvious and well known line and all that.

However in the interests of information dissemination.
It's a nice sequence to about halfway-ish, then there is the potential for a bit of gear (I think we wangled a rurp in but that may have been due to limited gear choice as much as anything else) then a big dynamic move to an obvious hold just below the top and an easy finish. Pretty bold (depending on gear) but not that hard. When it gets done I'd guess it would be about E8 6c - ish. Surprised it hasn't had an ascent to be honest.

Yeah I agree. Not a great landing though!

It's not been done as it's not that easy - harder than 6c anyway. Lots of Sheffield's climbers' (and others) have tried it over the years. It also doesn't climb that brilliantly once you actually get on it in my opinion. Lawrencefield wall is a far better project to fall I reckon.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on August 02, 2009, 02:57:05 pm
I thought it climbed quite nicely up to the gear, if it had continued in that vein it would have made a nice E5-ish I think. However instead it gets very blank and requires a pretty big dynamic move to a hard to hang hold. I wouldn't have said it was harder than 6c, but I guess dynamic moves are quite hard to grade. The landing is not great but with if someone could be bothered to drag a cartload of mats round there then it would go as a pretty safe but spicy highball, probably at a surprisingly modest grade.
The Lawrencefield project is a completely different order of difficulty, IMHO it will certainly be breaking into new grades on grit when that goes, very very difficult. Not surprisingly, given this, it is a "better project" simply because it will be groundbreaking, rather than regionally significant. That's not to suggest the Millstone arete is unworthy.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Tommy on August 02, 2009, 05:22:53 pm
Yeah, I think you're right. I surprised with your arete, slab and vert wall skills you never got either done??!!

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nik at work on August 02, 2009, 06:48:57 pm
If I'd stayed in the area I probably would have done the Millstone arete, the Lawrencefiled wall is something else, the idea of linking all the moves on that is some way above a level that I've ever operated at. Anyway I'm a boulderer nowadays, the most adventurous I get is occassional forays into sport climbing :)

A day at Langdale.  The Crack felt awful, maybe it's my fat fingers, but it just caused intolerable pain and skin loss.  The other problems in the vid were very pleasant in comparison.  The reason I arsed up the first top-out is the lack of crimpablity in my right hand.  Honest  ???

The Flakes is the line of holds up the right arete you're using for your right hand and foot. Although a better sequence is to use them for your left hand and foot too ;)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Krank on September 17, 2009, 10:51:50 am
Thats the pinches, Mr Fiend :whistle:

The starting right hold is the only hold the 2 problems share. Indirectly given beta from Mr Turner through a friend, we spent time trying the left arete on its own, as thats what the description in the guide sounds like. Then my friend was out wit AT and was told the holds out right are in. I could be wrong but thats what i have been told.

Effort. I think the grade disparity on Monologue is whether you can stick the top off that left foothold.

I didnt even try to do the finish in such an impressive static style. I guess I am only slightly shorter than Krank and he can`t be more than 5`11.(Sorry if that has stolen a few inches from you!) 

The slopey top out on the left can be avoided with a throw (with the left or right) to the top further right.

So the guide book has three errors

- It doesnt climb the left arete
- It isn`t "very morhpo"
- It isn`t V10

I told Krank the beta and didn`t actually climb it with Andy, but he had repeated it and was on the way down when we met and he informed me of the other arete. Inspired I then went and did it, much to my surprise (was on a semi rest day!)

I believed we were talking about Monologue. It appears the ascent was done using both aretes (unless Andy has a done it both ways, which would not surprise me)

Therefore there is a very morpho project using the left arete, possibly worth  7c+ (although could be easier for those over 8 ft tall)   :P

The way I first did this was to match the hold in the centre of the roof with a really bad heel-toe in the back. Then move LH to a really poor ripple and throw for the top. This was probably about 8a/8a+. I went back to repeat it and found this dyno sequence which is much much easier at around 7c but invloves that wild swing.

I worked out what we did at Rocher Greau (third problem in the vid). It wasn't Conquistadores, it was Les Cons qui s'Adorent 6c (7a) (http://bleau.info/greau/17612.html). Get your tippex out. That slab round the back was Le Rince-Doigts (http://bleau.info/greau/9745.html) - a mere 6a!

It wasn't so much Font Elbow, which I actually pretty much managed to avoid int he 2 1.2 days I managed to climb, but more a case of SERIOUSLY FUCKED ELBOW. And yes, that is the medical term for it!

In fact, I managed to bash the fucker again about 5 days ago and it's still right proper fucked. Been having to go "stranger" all week.  :wank: ;)

Is it quite common for people to climb at banned areas? I've always thought people just accepted it was banned and never climbed there but it appears i am wrong..  :shrug:
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Johnny Brown on January 06, 2010, 03:07:16 pm
Most bans are for good reasons and should be observed.

The odd ones are solely due to a miserable dog-in-the-manger attitude by the landowner, and once negotiations have completely failed its up to you really. Just try not to make the situation worse, ie keep a low profile, and if confronted be friendly, leave if asked, and try to show your activities are doing no harm.

Situations change, and future negotiations can benefit from an established record of trouble free access, even if not sanctioned by the landowner at the time. Much of the free access we enjoy now had to be fought for in the past.

Used to be V13, then hold broke and now it has settled at V11/12 ish

the hold breaking made it significantly larger.
roddy bloody good effort with that sequence ill giv u v12, i couldnt cut loose with my hands in that position, neither cud i span to go again to the fingerlock jug (prob v11 if u can).
super tall people can now do it with double knee bars (basically cheating) as a new foothold also appeared, looked more v10 if u could use this sequence. really cool problem whichever way u do it.

It was a tallish guy who gave me all the beta, he was using the fingerlock but not the kneebars. I found cutting loose and trying to get the heelhook on the crux. It's a weird problem, you end up doing quite a few moves in a row with your left hand permenantly under load on the same hold (for about 35 seconds). Despite it not really hurting my finger, it was ringing afterwards mind, but well worth it  :)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: ferret on January 23, 2010, 11:56:14 am
tried the beta u used but thought it beastly, good effort again dont think many people (are strong enough to) do it that way!! from the finger lock could do the heel and release ok, but the mishapen stumps i call arms werent keen on reaching that far (as hard as i tried to persuade them). could get the hold if i went in one go (no intermediate just past where you had your right hand) but was too stretched to get it at the right angle to fingerlock it.
the knee bar beta invloved using the same right hand as you, but having double knnebars on the good left hand hold and the reaching the fingerlock with lefthand kneebars still in  :o needless to say you have to be pretty tall to pull that off. big difference between doing all the moves from 2 good kneebars instead of a crap footchip and a scabby upsidedown toehook hence my v10 guestimate.

bad luck on anal intruder, aparently Ann Summers have a range of training accesories which might help  ;) ;)

hope you had a good trip in the end effort on the beastlyness again  :)

Toxic Crusader (http://www.vimeo.com/8954834)

One of the new St Bees South problems, I did this on Saturday not long after the first ascent. Pretty soft for 7b, tricky first move. Nice little problem.

It was the only bit of climbing all day, we drove from Glasgow to a wet Trowbarrow then to a wet Bowderstone then finally to St Bees.

We took a bit of a risk to be honest, I was suprised the Bowderstone was wet though....

I reckon that sequence is fine, I suppose you could start with your right hand on the starting hold but it wouldn't make any difference...........

Probably because the URL you pasted is for the video maximised to the browser window which you can't embed within a forum.

Go to the YouTube page where the video is shown in a little box with all the comments and related videos and gumph, and copy and paste that URL into your post, the forum should do the rest on embedding it.

After recent discussions amongst a few of the local climbers about new beta we've decided that 8a+ was just a little bit steep. It's settled at a more realistic grade of 8a now. Still one of the best problems in the Uk....

Post by: Steve R on April 20, 2010, 01:24:54 pm
Steve, is there anything else on those Ingleby boulders worth going to have a look at?

There's some nice stuff on those boulders but it's all quite easy and the rock's snappy in places.  Some nice features though and there is a steep face which looks potentially promising but quite snappy too.  I haven't climbed on this boulder yet, needs quite a cleaning effort but might be worth it....? 

Overall, I'd only fully recommend two problems so far across the entire crag - 'Waylander', the one at the end of the vid and a low start to 'No Prisoners' just up from the boulders is good at about 7A (stand is described in the NEengland guide).  There's a good looking highball affair still to do based on the left arete of the low prisoners block too, not sure how it'll climb though.  Perhaps a good place to escape the weekend honeypots!?

There was also a vid on youtube of the guy Peter (with the long hair) doing the FA sit start I can't find it on there though. He also go's for the jug instead of direct, but to be fair this problem boils down to the sharp as crimp's.

These strong Polish lads have pretty much repeated every hard problem down on sandstone & done some nice FA's themselves. The second guy also has an impressive 8a.nu scorecard.

On a side note this face of the boulder has seen some recent chipping, but luckily doesn't affect any existing problems.

Well, I'm talking about the early to mid-80s when we had no meaningful concept of bouldering. I did start climbing there eventually and certainly did Boba Fett before it received that name (during the Lines/Critchley era presumably) - whether I did it before Simon though is another matter entirely.

You know something, I think we did say hello that day  :wave:

Cool little problem, I just cant do it due to my gammy leg. I'm unable to get any sort of power through it when it is bent further than 90 degrees. Plus I am weak and fat.

Cobble tour is still on, I have weekends off but don't let that put you off as it is still quiet then!

Beta stolen from me.

Well maybe if you came out once every now and again!

Was that the actual FA of Bulbhaul Andi?

Unfortunately not but he was looking good enough to have probably linked it in 25 degree heat.

A semi NNFN this  - but probably goes here for several reasons...

Went to Kentmere this morning to nail Badger arete, by S.Lakes nemesis. It was still a bit damp, but fairly cool and conditions were surprisingly good. There were a handful of cows and a few sheep in the field, and only when one of the cows kept staring me out did I notice it was a bit musclier than the others but also had a big pair of balls instead of udders. Quickly removing my red t shirt, I carried on warming up figuring we just wouldnt bother each other. After a couple of failed warm up attempts the Bull decided to come over and have a look at what I was doing. I beat a retreat when it stopped about 2m away from my mat and started snorting at me  :'( I then disappeared up into the woods - flailed up a damp 6b, was thorougly beaten by Middle-earth (I think) and eaten by lots of midges. Kentmere 2: Tomtom 0.

late june in Kentmere.wmv (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUotLAa95bI#ws)

Anyway, for the video buffs amongst you, I thought you might be interested that this was filmed in HD on an Iphone4. The quality has been fucked a bit due to me using windows movie maker and youtube (which between them seem to degrage the quality quite a lot) which is a shame as the original .mov's are top notch... anyone know of a half decent editor that won't fuck over the quality?


I would like to enter my video for the UKB Ivor Noidea awards for shite climbing films.  :)

Depends if you want to 'pay' for it or not? The completely free ones are not much cop to be honest...Avidemux is fine if you just want to convert and not do a lot to the video (cut/crop etc).

I use completely legit and 100% paid for copies of both Cyberlink Power Director (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5075561/Cyberlink_PowerDirector_8_Ultra_Retail_Multi) and Adobe Premiere CS5 (http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5565856/ADOBE_PREMIERE_PRO_CS5_[thethingy) which can be found somewhere on the internet to download I'm told.

Power Director is easier to use, Premiere has feck loads of functions/settings/other shizzle..

I really like that Matlock section of the Froggat guidebook, some random-looking places I'd not heard of before - nice work Grimer et al. Seemed like a good time to head to some fairly easy esoteric stuff given the relentless heat. The Arete at Jackson Tor is the best of the bunch but all are on decent rock and are well worthwhile. Overall a good day out climbing on grit when the temps are up at 29 degrees!

The thing about places like Matlock Quarry is to control expectations. I think it's a great place, and enjoyed some routes there too, but I told Pete Whittaker about the unclimbed arete there (you wanna see that baby) and I got the imopression he thought it was dark hole. I think winter might be the best time for there.

Incidentally, the whole thrust behind the Matlock Bank stuff, both a massive tidy up and the script for the book, came from a guy called Andy Lewandowski, a local. He did a great job there.

Si has been quitting the smokes and replaced them with a surplus of food...

nice tom, that brought about a flash back to my own epic on the top of timeless!  Did you have the new guide?  I really liked that Autobody - was called Fixing the Car in the old guide when I was there I think though could be wrong....
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: butterworthtom on September 15, 2010, 02:10:09 pm
Yeah it was called fixing the car. I don't know why they changed the name? The new guide is awesome. They did a really good job.
I flashed timeless and didn't anticipate having a hard time at the top, I just assumed it would be easy and then got up there and had an epic.
I thought Autobody was probably a bit soft, it took me twenty minutes to work out and I was on my own. Gibbs cave was pretty soft too. And Tatonka, although that is totally broken now, the big jug fell hold and part the rail came off.
Those were the only v8s I did and they all seemed a bit easy. I found harder v4s. For example Skin Graft shown in the video, and Kung Fu fighter at the north walls seems impossible. It was an awesome trip though.
I did some stuff im really proud of. I flashed a v6 slab called Bali song, which is the slab above superdyke. Before I went I had only climbed 7a (5.11d) and I onsighted and flashed loads of routes up to 7b (5.12b) then did my first 7c 2nd go. I also soloed Diedre which I never thought I would do. Soloed banana peel naked. That was a new experience. Climbed Grand wall with only 6 bits of gear which was interesting. I got to lead the split pillar which I was really anxious about cause I can't jam but I learnt pretty quick while I was on it. I did a slab route with called local boys do good with Toby (thesiger) which was good fun. Gave me alot more confidence in slab abilities. I came very close to Black Slabbath but never went back to finish the job off. I should have done really.

Hey Tom ... looks good to me ... can you add it the UKB on Vimeo group (http://vimeo.com/groups/UKBouldering) to give us an excuse to add it to the home page.

Anyone with a Vimeo account can add a given video to a group (providing the poster of the video permits it).

To this end I've just added it to the UKBouldering group (http://vimeo.com/groups/UKBouldering), if the front page is basically an RSS feed of the group it should appear in due course (if not then who ever chooses the videos from the group to have on the front page will have to set it up).

You throw out to the same hold but with your left foot under the roof and your right on the slopey hold near the start of Lou Ferrino,  then walk your feet round put your right heel on the sloper near the rail on LF and then get the heel toe in a la your starting position.

Got told while there that despite being an 'assis' it was actually a crouch. Seemed odd at the time but with the sit start it seemed harder than 7b so gave it a miss, will have to go back and do it the proper way! Cheers for notifying.

Also it says start on right hand pinch (im guessing it's the one im on) so can you start with a doublelayer of pads as a could hardly sit and reach it, let alone pull!

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos

Start sat and pull on the pinch, probably the hardest move of the problem by a significant margin. I could pull on from a single mat and I'm a midget.

Good video Nai. This is also on my ticklist and your beta for the top looks better than Jerrys
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nai on November 09, 2010, 02:37:50 pm
The top is ok in the end, I took to coming in from the break and working out how to get the flake when I started getting close to the lower wall, and also doing Rumblefish a couple of times on every visit to get used to topping out at that height.

If you look at the top it looks dreadful, rounded and sparce of holds but when you get up there the hold at the top of the flake feels ok and there are good footholds to stand up on to make the mantle.

Get to it, it's fantastic

I'm having an enforced break from my film work in the Adult Entertainment Business while I wait for the penicillin to work it's magic on me and my leading actress/model spends some time in rehab.

This has left me with some time to film a bit of bouldering again.

Only a little bit of bouldering in this one, with lots of non-bouldering bits to pad it out.

Just a note to lagerstarfish here to say thanks for all the videos:

You don't seem to get the most praise, possibly as they're not always the highest number grades, but i  think the style of shooting, particularly the really well used close ups of the holds, (so we can see exactly what you're pulling on) and the understated approach to all your shorts make them easily some of the best i've watched, including the pro shit.

Keep it up, very inspiring vids for mere punters like me.

Lagers... is ace

 :thumbsup: thanks for that

I get plenty of praise. More wad points than I know what to do with.

I've said it before, but I try to make the moves look like they feel when done as smoothly as I can. I normally do problems several/lots of times to enjoy getting them smoother - a practice that fortunately lends itself to getting plenty of different shots. It's the closest I'll ever get to being creative.

Also, it's the online version of being the smug local who turns up and volunteers all the secret beta, whether you want it or not  :-[

its a strange video, beware, cos i was alone, and i thought i would edit it as less as i could, like a little documentary.
i hope you like it and id like to hear your opinion.

Fontainebleau: Its Good For You (http://vimeo.com/18186441)
problems listed as Duioxmanie, Charcuterie, La Coquille assis, Abdolobotomy, Le Roi Des Voleurs, Beatle Juice

Question - is the one listed as Le Roi Des Voleurs really that? - it doesn't seem to match with the picture on bleau.info (http://bleau.info/isatis/2308.html)..... :-\

They probably used that new font a bloc guide where it's the wrong line. They did the 6b/+ to the right.

Nice video though. I knew there must be a less desperate sequence that felt under 7b than my dodgy flash one for abdolobotomy!

True! That felt very droppable as did the bit when I crossed over with the left hand ahead of me to get that diagonal hold (he uses as a gaston to press to the top) with the wrong hand, rotate underneath it fully shaking 100% and slapping all out around the arete to finish up on the right  :lol:

Not thought of doing the sitter to coquille direct up the arete, it looks quite nice and less sharp than the right hand sitter linkup.

Nice tune too.

Not sure it's that hard, if it is it'd be my first at the grade.  I was certainly having a good day when I did it and did some kind of trickery with my left foot that made the move for the small hold on the face static, can't remember what though.  I'm afraid another  :shrug:

thanks for  :shrug: I guess not 7b, took me a few attempts so I'm saying at least 7a. which is only one grade harder than the V5 the standup gets - but then that felt more like 6b so more  :shrug:  :shrug:
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nai on January 21, 2011, 10:01:54 pm
I did begin to wonder whether the V5 was for a sit start, could be 6C+ which wouldn't be far off the mark.  But I think 7a would be about right, the move to catch and hold the small thing on the face is fairly tricksome so there's some added value there.  And most importantly, it's a very good problem.

Bangalore bouldering comp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebJZYOrpY8E#)

I find it hard to tell if this, which I found whilst researching a tentative business trip to Bangalore(*), is quality or non-

I did, however, note with interest that on problem #3, involving dynos for big holds across a roof, the women(**) are the only ones we see making any attempt whatsoever to use their feet, and the only person we see completing the problem is a woman. Coincidence?

(*) Conclusions reached so far: Hampi for a weekend would be a long & strenuous trip involving sleeper trains both ways, and I know from a previous visit that Hampi any time from March onwards is really hot.
(**) df? hard to tell given the video quality.

Yeah, spent quite a few sessions there last year - really good little venue, that block by the car park (i.e. the one with Safner's Arete on it) would be caked in chalk if it was in the Peak. Did learn pretty quickly not to go there with thin tips though!

Had a crack at Pok-A-Tok and Little Sparkle without success, but have since got fixated with Trust - as a first 7b it's right up my street, and could be one of the first (or indeed the first) repeats.

The Zanskar Odyssey: Part 1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th8PZ77I4Y8#ws)

I've put it in the non-quality thread since it seems to be the most self-indulgent, navel gazing bouldering video (well, trailer for a bouldering video) I have ever seen. At first I thought it was a bit of a joke, but then i wasn't sure. They seem to really be that intense and ridiculous about the whole thing. Seemed to me to be constant complaining. I've travelled around the himalayas a bit and been on some crazy bus rides, but i loved the whole thing. Even the dodgy bumpy roads, the terrifying death drops and burnt out vehicles. The video seems to me to be a classic case of some arrogant americans going somewhere and finding it a little bit tough and then telling everyone how epic they are! Sorry rant over. It just got on my nerves.

NON-QUALITY WARNING

Some grainy footage from a moonlight session a few weeks ago.

Nothing of merit as far as bouldering and footage go, but it was interesting to see what can be achieved using a video camera and moonlight.

I didn't shoot much due to being more bothered about getting a big, easy circuit done. It was a lot of fun.

Also includes evidence of UFO activity

It might be a while until we get conditions like that again.

No wind, totally clear skies and the ground was frozen hard so no mud.

Lantern sessions on my own can feel a bit spooky, but the moonlight produced a "friendly" atmosphere. I got a bit giddy and couldn't get to sleep afterwards.

Thanks, I am putting some effort into the vests (probably more effort than I'm putting into the bouldering). I'm particularly proud of the red vest (£2 - Decathlon) and red beanie (£5 - TKMaxx) combo. Trousers are £10 Decathlon, I quite like them as they are light and loose and have a little chavvy stripe down the side. What else could I be busting out for a similar price of fuck all??

There's a few usefull pointers on Vimeo's help section

use the search function etc.

The Vimeo Overlords seem to think that all poor quality issues are due to not following their reccommended compression guides, so that's probably a good place to start

Dylan,

I noticed that your uploaded video is 960x540

I think Vimeo convert non-HD stuff to 640x360

that's half as many pixies

so that's half as may bags of Pixie QualityTM that they can carry between them

this means more log and less bling on the screen


What was the frame size of the original footage?

Was it HD that Steve Jobs has deliberately scaled down just to piss you off, or was it shot in standard def?

So, shot at 1440x1080 and then ending up on 'tinterweb as 640x360

yes, I'd be a bit disappointed with that

I should start another thread about this.....but here is another copy from the original following the David Glover tutorial from Largers.....
Lou Ferrino (HD) (http://vimeo.com/21676087)

I can't see any difference although it does look more blanched on the 1st 2 cuts for some reason.  Vimeo have also recognised it as HD.  Can other people see a difference?  I've got FCP on our other computer (but the hard drive is full of work shite) so that might be easier that dealing with this.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: lagerstarfish on March 30, 2011, 12:41:52 pm
I can see the difference when playing it on Vimeo (not embedded), full screen with HD and scaling switched on, on a 24" 1080 monitor. With scaling off, the difference is (by definition) that one is bigger than the other and as everyone knows, bigger is better.

obviously I can't tell much difference on the embedded vid

try dicking about with contrast (up a little bit?), brightness (down a bit?) and colour to get a different (maybe better) picture.

What white balance did you have the camera on? It's always worth flicking through the white balance options to see what looks best at the time

I think your main problem is that you seem to have filmed in some sort of badly lit, grotty hole where someone, or some thing, has spunked chalk all over what looks a little bit like rock

nice music

Don't bother using the html code that Vimeo provide for embedding, it won't work on these (and many other forums) which use BBcode (which is why you get all the gubbins).  Instead just copy and paste the URL of the page the video is hosted on (http://www.ukbouldering.com/wiki/index.php/HowTo_Embed_Videos_to_UKBouldering).

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: GazM on May 03, 2011, 06:22:16 pm
Cheers for the embedding info. 
There's two areas, both about a 10 min drive from Wolftrax, followed by a 10-15 min walk.  So far they have about 25 established problems in total.  A fair few of them are easy, small and not particularly amazing, but a worthwhile local circuit, and there are a few genuinely classy problems, and now I've shown Dave I suspect a few harder additions will emerge.  A bit more info is on my blog here, and scattered about on other posts:  http://gaz-softrock.blogspot.com/2011/03/winter-of-discontent.html (http://gaz-softrock.blogspot.com/2011/03/winter-of-discontent.html).

can't take the credit for finding it that was my mate Wojciech. It's about 10 mins further along the main track and a left at the fork then into the woods at the crest of the rise and follow the path for 5mins. Path is easy to miss, can't miss the boulder. Landing isn't flat and grassy but it is ok with a few mats and a spotter, we levelled a tree stump with the ground a flattened a rock to patio it a bit.  Well worth a visit.

I turned down a joint deal with Bargain Booze and Aslan's Kebabs. Basically, there are Greggs shops every fucking where, so I don't have to go more than 20 mins without eating.

I went with Tennent's Super because it says "strong lager" on the tin; and also because I like it of course.

Post by: lagerstarfish on May 12, 2011, 05:39:03 pm
No, but there is a version where I drink 4 cans of Super and rest in the sunshine for a few hours. A couple of mats makes this a lot easier.

You can't beat a cold Tennent's Super. Spesh is too treacly, but a warm Special Brew is better than a warm Tennent's. Both are nectar compared to the horror that is Crest Super.

Greggs is always the worst option, but cheap.

Greggs are successful and treat their staff well. It's got to be a cover for something.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on September 15, 2011, 12:18:48 pm
Nice one, well done for getting up there. The potential is really jaw dropping. Are those probs on the conglomerate, gneiss or sandstone? The forst ones look like conglomerate, but the Stone Shelves look like sandstone.

Did you get onto Polin Beach and the stuff on the waterlevel shelves to the North of Oldshoremore Beach?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: JamieG on September 15, 2011, 03:18:40 pm
Hey Chris,

I only thought there were two rock types up there but i really don't know anything about geology. First one was a kind of sandstone with varying degrees of pebbliness, from beautiful smooth rock, to outrageously pebbly (maybe this is what you mean by the conglomerate) depending on which layer of the cliff the boulder had fallen off. And the second rock type at the end of the film was the gneiss.

All the stuff at Dave's roof was on the gneiss. Everything else was the sandstone/conglomerate. Some of the rock was quite friable, but there was more than enough good quality rock to go at. Some of the landings could do with a bit of work, moving rubble around to make it flatter. But there literally is almost endless potential (depending on how adventurous you feel) and probably some really hard lines if you are strong. There was loads of stuff we wanted to try but simply ran out of time. Some huge highball lines too.

We didn't make it to the places you mentioned. The only other day we had climbing we went to Reiff, which was pretty good. But probably a better place to trad than boulder. Sheigra has much bouldering potential than reiff.

You should get yourself up there. Park at the sheigra beach and head over the wee hill to the north. Pretty quickly you will see the view which is the very first part of video, with the Gneiss roof on the shore line below you and all sandstone cliffs and blocks stretching into the distance. The stuff at the beach, is just on your left when you arrive at the car parking. The northern part, however, definitely has the bulk of the potential. Shame it is quite so isolated. Or maybe that is a bonus.

Cheers Jamie
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on September 15, 2011, 03:41:02 pm
yeah I guess that the conglomerate / sandstone depends on the amount of pebbles in it.

I've been up a few times usually to surf at Oldshoremore, but also to climb ay Sheigra. I've checked out the stuff around the campsite at shiegra, on the isalnd just to the south, at oldshoremore and polin beach. There's some nice stuff at Sandwood bay too, and a bit on the limestone at Smoo cave up at durness.

We've been Sandwood bay before, such an amazing place.

It was richieb's video that inspired us to go in search of Sheigra's 'land of giants', but we didn't even find the part in his video, we got too distracted working our way our the bottom of the cliffs. His video probably gives you better insight into the potential, with more shots of the background. It really is pretty huge.

Sorry I might be over psyched, but it really was an amazing place, just to hang out never mind boulder.

Here is Rich's video for more psyche.

Nice vid. Good effort for getting up there. Isis looks good.
The stuff we climbed on is in the next bay to the north I think, I walked over the headland in your opening shot and dropped down from there. Amazing place but I found most of the rock in that area was a bit too pebble infested for my taste unfortunately, still worth a visit for the atmosphere and location.
If you end up writing up the stuff you did it would be worth sending details to John at Stonecountry and Ian Taylor (who wrote the Ullapool bouldering guide), It was Ian who originally tipped me off about the place.

Post by: JamieG on September 17, 2011, 06:52:21 pm
Cheers Rich,

I doubt we'll write it up properly, since all the problems we did were quite spread out. We just enjoyed exploring and trying things that caught our eye. I think part of the experience for us, was you never quite knew what amazing block was just around the corner. I agree a lot of the rock is pretty pebbly, but there was enough cleaner stuff to make up for it.

Isis really was the highlight we found. It was in the jumble below the cliff you can see in the first scene of the video. You can do it from Standing at about 6b. There is an obvious sitter than will bump it up to 7a(ish). Robbie did a low start (not proper sitter) in the video to add a couple hard moves into the standing start. We can email the video link to Ian and John incase they want some more details.

We owe you debt for making the initial excursion that inspired us to go and explore.

Cheers Jamie

It's a much better problem than the silly full traverse of the whole boulder that's in the guide, that involves down climbing the arete! Virgin Trav finishes on the starting holds of Dick Hymen, finishing up that is a much better finish than the shitty low level extension IMO

that's very interesting Rich.
I had already done it years ago, it was given 7b in the guide. then I went back there last year and found all the big jugs missing. I think that massive flakes have detached, because both the start of Souvenir and that problem were completely different to me now, especially the one in the video. from flashing it to working it two sessions there's a big difference!!!
anyone else noticed holds missing there? the rock colour is also different.

So, towards the end of last week and having realised we were staring down the barrel of some of the worst weather in recent memory, Nige and I shelved our plans for a North Wales trip and headed east up to the North York Moors.

As it was we had a great time, got loads done including a good few new problems. There's tons of top quality rock to go at in some really stunning locations, certainly makes a change from the normal grit crags.

Big shout out to Lee Robinson from Betaguides for agreeing to meet up with us at short notice and for showing us around.

Nice one, never thought that first arete in the vid would get another visit!  Did you do a harder variation on it or did we just get the grade wrong?  Looks like you pulled some decent new stuff out of that area too, good work.  Asbo Pops is a cool problem but I think the flake might come off soon/this winter - felt and sounded quite bad last time I was there....

Not sure about that right arete at Duck - Lee said 6c but I thought it was a touch harder, but then again I was trying it a) when it was still pretty damp and b) knackered as it was third day climbing on the bounce. I climb 7a max and was finding it tricky but doable so that's why I thought 7a was fairer.

The left arete got done by both Mick and Nige on the same day as that footage was shot, and they both thought it was in the 7a/7a+ region, and the right arete was a grade easier.

I couldn't even pull on ASBO Pops sadly, I couldn't get anything going off that right hand sloper! Looks like a cool little problem though.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Stubbs on December 31, 2011, 11:43:23 am
Yeah the rightwards exit along the rail is a bit easier than topping out direct as it's less sandy.  There's also the version that traverses the face on pockets via a (avoidable) rose move which is quite a bit harder due to lack of footholds.

That's the one - no footholds and lots of unpleasant match moves on bad holds?  I occassionally have a crack before giving up in disgust and doing something supposedly harder! So, is it just horrendously undergraded or is there a knack?

Sorry Moose, forgot to reply to this. I have done it and thought it was about 7A+ or so, but can't remember the specifics except I definitely didn't do a rose move (and therefore probably invalidated my ascent!).  I think there may be a small key foothold towards the middle of the bottom lip?

and 5 kg?
;D
to perform even less moves?
I think that 2 kg made all that difference also due to the nature of the problem, with snatchy, precarious moves, in which getting the holds exactly in the right spot is extremely crucial (at least for me). I think if it were a simple grab and pull with positive holds, 2 kg would make less difference.
I also have to say that when Michele Caminati laps it in preparation for his project, everything seems quite static and the holds seem to be good wherever he grabs them...  :shrug:

not re-filled

I use it for ground cover with other mat(s) on top or under to level it and provide more padding

It is an excellent mat for assissting with transporting children to the crag - there is so much pad sticking up above shoulder/head level that a child on my shoulders can recline comfortably and safely. I was quoted £49 for a sheet of the dense foam to fit, but have managed without. It got a fair bit of use over the summer as a baby/child mat in the garden.

Is access actually being investigated here?

Myself and a few others made some enquiries about it around 10 years ago and were told that it was "very unlikely" that access would ever be granted, largely because it had been previously banned several decades ago as a direct result of climbers disturbing wildlife. The access notes at the front of the guidebook say (their bold text): "out of bounds to climbers, as in fact are all the other limestone outcrops hereabouts. All have been explored in the past, some intensively, but a combination of over zealous cleaning and the presence of rare flora and fauna, including nesting peregrines, buzzards and kestrels has prompted the bans, which seem unlikely to be lifted in the near future.".

It'd be great if there has been progress on this - it's a nice spot and bouldering is unlikely to do any damage here (as far as i'm aware).

with this excellent, sunny, dry (altough quite warm I must admit) weather, I managed my first Beastmaker session only yesterday and I am super psyched!!! found out that bouldering at the limit is a good preparation for fingerboarding. now I need to find something more specific, the Beastmaker seems to be too much related to real climbing...

I personally have only visited the crag once and only have information about access through word of mouth. I had heard that access may have been partially to do with over cleaning especially of routes in the area. Hopefully it may get sorted soon.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: nic mullin on January 18, 2012, 09:54:47 pm
Yes, I think some (mostly aid) routes were put up in the 60's and 70's and a lot of vegetation was removed, and climbing has been banned ever since. Fingers crossed something can be worked out.

I thought it was pretty decent, but contrary to Krank, I thought it could have done with shorter edits. Also, incidentals are good in a vid, but perhaps there were slightly too many for one of this length. I liked the look of the place too and am now really keen to get down there.  Overall: good effort. :2thumbsup:

Expecially the bit to do with them waiting 5 hrs for the ferry, it is not very far to the boulders why weren't they bouldering for 4 hrs of that? Though this could be excused if it was a delayed ferry which apparently often happens due to high wind.  Non climbing highlights of my trip include watching the police at work near the ferry port, their work seems to be leaving their office every few minutes to scare the doves off the vines outside, the live pet pelican in the fish shop and the return procedure for the hire car which involved leaving it open, at the port, with the key in the drivers footwell.

I think this thread is as good a place as any for this question. I have just finished editing a short non-quality bouldering film  (it is just a friend climbing one problem) and I want to upload it to vimeo. I havn't done much to the original footage but I have added some music. My question is regarding the uploading rules I have just read about having necessary permissions to upload the video. The music I have added is obviously third party content (bought n paid for by myself) but am I breaking any rules by having it on the video, uploaded to vimeo for all to see, hear etc.... without some sort of special permission... ??? I apologise if this is a no brainer and I am being incredibly stupid.

I've set a ethical precedent, all those who've dropped off because of snow - back around  :tease:

No footage of captain hook - but he would have done it first go if not for dabbing.  He did try and make brass monkeys harder by campusing when he could have used a heel. but he's fooling no one. we'll just have to get stronger and burn him off in the cave.

does walking to the boulders equals to driving to the boulders in video terms?
anyway, the place that's featured in the video is a very nice are south of Rome, I think. I have been a couple of times, and the potential is huge.
the Italian captions refer to an imaginary girl named Petra (Stone), and there's this parallel/metaphor between the first girl and the first rock.
I hope it was a joke.

It was me that you saw (with JB plus a couple of guys I didn't get names of - Toby?, Vincent?) at Baslow  :wave: - cheers for the pads/beta on the Eaglestone! Nigel's was the only footage from that day though, got too excited after that!
Boyager felt fine, the landing's horrible, but I never felt close to dropping it - the clip is actually repeating it for the camera as I'd not set it up for the flash.

Top out tech'ers (http://vimeo.com/38799070)

So topping out defiently is the weakest of the many weak links in my climbing chain. As proved by since this two weeks ago I've flashed two 6a+'s sent a 6b and got a 6c in about 30mins in two trips out because none of them had topouts... a lot of topping out is in order in future trips out me thinks.

if thats you in the video milford on a quick glance at your style its maybe that your topping out success is suffering from a lack of trust in your feet and your trying to make up for that lack of footwork with strength. sorry to be negative and im no climbing master just what i observed.

it was partly a lack of trust in my foot on that foothold but mainly just a distrust of my hands being on a pretty slopey top and generally of topping out. Haven't topped out that many times and that didn't really have anything on top to pull on, I really dislike the getting your weight over the top of your hands where it feels like you could tip back so not having any holds wasn't ideal. I think I just need to spend some time topping out lots of easier problems to get used to it and get more confident although in general my technique isn't as good as it should be but its improving the more I'm climbing outside :)

Two Three questions to the boulder central send train posse (choo choo).

1. Will I have to wear a red bandanna/headband/sweatband to climb at BoulderCentral?
2. Is the background muzak at BC at similar BPM's?
3. Can I get free entry to BoulderCentral for mentioning the name (BoulderCentral) more times than in your BoulderCentral post/video?

;)

1. Red (or any other colour) bandannas = better bouldering and you look way cooler. This is highly recommended if you're climbing at Boulder Central
2. Music at BC should range from a mellow 30bpm to 500bpm (flight of the bumblebee by Mozart: Flight of the Bumblebee - Absurdly Fast (500 bpm) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb8OpIYehrw#ws))
3. If you can mention Boulder Central to the rate of 500wpm (words per minute) you can have free entry for life. However, on a serious note - If you can get anywhere close to this, video it and post it, a free Boulder Central t-shirt will be sent to you. How's about saying Boulder Central 100 times in a minute and we'll send you one :)

Be prepared for more video posts soon!

How about:

Good quality videos of bad quality problems (i.e. anything in Lancashire).

Bad quality videos of good quality problems.

Bad quality videos of problems that may or may not be quality but are fcking hard so therefore automatically viewed as quality.

Good quality videos of some good quality problems that are ruined by driving sequences / MTV-style editing / Americans pretending to be gangstas so are overall bad quality.


Then...

Users versions of all of the above.

10 different video threads seems a nice round number.

Here's an unedited clip of traverse I did near Girdleness Lighthouse. Apologies for lack of editing, music, etc the home laptop is dying, so used work one.

Ness Girdle is the current working title. Grade I have no idea, as it might be pretty morpho, but might be knocking at the door of 7a. The last few moves from the shakeout are all pretty stiff.

It's actually OK mid tide or lower unless it's a really rough sea and the footholds dry pretty fast. Go check it out later in the week if you get a chance, I reckon it will be a bit seepy after last night's rain though; if you want to do some siphoning I've left the hosepipe in a crack to the left of the start of the traverse!

Really liked that one Nathan! Nice mix of problems, colours are great (new camera), great music choice and obviously some effort put into finding some good angles that really add interest. Awesome!
+1!!!
well done!!!

Sweltering/wet Anston. Anyone got any tips on filming light coloured limestone in the sun, no matter what I try it looks like they're crimping along a line of clouds?

Can you set exposure on the camera, maybe underexpose a bit?

Have you got exposure control on your camera? zebra striping?
with zebra striping on 100%, knock down the exposure until none of the rock around the climber (doesn't matter about stuff away from the climber) is showing as being over exposed. Then dick about with brightness and contrast in post

alternatively, point the camera at the brightest bits of rock and then fix the exposure at that setting (assuming you have a camera that lets you fix exposure)

polarising filter?

spotlight mode on my camera makes the camera pay attention to the bright bits and adjust itself to make them look OK

Thanks for the replies.

Unfortunately I am only using a compact and it doesn't have exposure lock, which is a pain. I think knocking down the exposure before shooting should do the trick as long as the light is consistent.

I've looked into doing a bit of DIY and attaching filters, i'll post the results. It's fun seeing how far you can push a compact.

I'm no expert on video, but from a photography pov contrast on pale rocks in woodland is often unmanageable in full sunshine. A polariser won't help as they generally increase contrast. The gear options would be either a massive diffuser (cloud ideally), or a massive reflector, or some fill lighting, but 99% of the time trying to recompose is a better option - ie move either fully into the shade or sun.

Interestng, thanks. Incidently, I once chanced upon a bloke with a full school photo type rig taking pictures of someone on deliverance, he seemed to have a cloud size diffuser if it's what I think it is.

yeah i tried to fiddle around with brightness/ contrasts in vegas but to no avail, havent looked at the camera, its not really fancy enough to warrant it as far as i know...

It can be very hard to tell whether a return visit is worthwhile, but if there is a good volume of easy stuff then it's definitely a good shout  :2thumbsup:

When you first look around in a new area at the volume of rock it's easy to get carried away thinking it's going to be amazing (like the granite in D&G forest) only to be crushed after several days of looking at either shrinking-boulders or friable rock. The incredible-shrinking boulder is my least favourite phenomenon  :thumbsdown:

D&G made me feel a bit like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football

ok this boulder turned out to be tiny and my shins are now bleeding from the bear-traps formed by fallen trees, but look at the one on the other side of the valley next to that big tree, trudge, trudge, trudge,............., it's a bloody shrub, but wait a minute what about that other..................

I hear you. Try ooh look there's a boulder down there at the bottom of that cliff I must have a look when the tide is out once I figure out how to get down there, come back a week later whe the tide is right, carrying a large pad plus brushes, paint scrapers etc, work out approach along coast, boulder hop forever, reach boulder find it high enough but no decent bits for climbing / has death landing not even a stack of pads can save you from / permawet / shite rock / covered in sealife / just plain shite.

Post by: rodma on June 11, 2012, 04:10:03 pm
You've definitely got me there :lol:

My D&G experience was similar to my experience in rocklands on the first day with no topo (I can be a bit stupid at times), just trudging (through the heat mind, it was January, rather than rough soggy scottish terrain) to find boulders with either no holds at all, or too many giant holds (for giant read "home to something furry, nasty, bitey, or a combination of the lot) to be sporting.

Didn't realise that there was any climbing at the campground, so spent about six hours wandering around trying to find the "roadside" sector. Printed out topo the next day  :chair:

Very true. But it's worth it for that one time in a hundred when this happens:

Two psyched climbers in a car, repeating a common conversation...

Me - I've not been in this valley before. Bet there's something decent hidden away.
Him - Must be. You look out of that window, I'll look out of this one.
Me - Try not to crash. I can't see much, the hills are too steep.
Him - Maybe there's something at the top of one of these hills.
Me - That would be amazing, but very unlikely. Shall we have a look?

Brakes applied. Screech to stop. Jump fence.

Trudge, trudge, trudge. Stop and gasp for breath. More steep trudging.

Him - You know that tiny bit of rock that looked like nothing? I think it's the top of something.
Me - Is that a...?
Him - Cave!
Me - Flippin 'eck, what are the chances?

Indeed. However the reverse is even more frustrating - Walking along cliff edge, "hmm look a path down to the beach with some potentially interesting looking (but probably shite) boulders, wonder if there's anything else down there, must go look sometime..........."

1 year later - mates - "hey, we've found a really cool bouldering cave, 10 mins walk from your house!"

While we're on it, has anyone here done/tried/know of anyone doing staminaband in reverse (either with normal staminaband rules or strict blueband)? It seems like a fairly obvious thing to do (by tor standards) but I've not spoken to anyone who knows of it having been done. Finishing up Kristian's problem would make a good exit too.

It's an incredible location, but some gnarly talus, so falls have to be well padded and spotted. 

It wasn't actually me, but my friend who's been developing the area fell on the opening move of a problem he had already done, he fell maybe 2 feet and caught his forearm just below his elbow.  He was really psyched to show me the area, and it was our 3rd problem when he fell.  We patched it up as best we could and drove to the nearest open urgent care center where he ended up with a bunch of stitches and a nice scar.

Post by: Sasquatch on July 27, 2012, 09:45:51 pm
Is it Basalt?

Nah.  We call it Chugach Choss, or something similar.  It's some form of sedimentary crap that we have alot of around Anchorage.  The only reason the rock in this particular area is good is due to the glacial compression and glacial carving of the rock.  Makes for really interesting climbing though as there's almost no friction, probably similar to slate.  I don't know enough geology to give better specifics.  Sorry.

The pads generally last 4-5 seasons.  I picked up a new Organic pad combo last summer and its holding up pretty well.  I know many places people worry about the foam holding up, but for us the outside needs to be ultra-durable...

I think it needs some deinterlacing though. This should be tikbox or some kind of drop down when you render it and will remove the lines you see over the movement (at least I'm getting them on my monitor).

Re: Pedra Viva Vids

What are you attempting to produce? You do some very nice work on the videos,  but I can't tell what the goal is.  There's quite a bit of fluff footage (non-climbing) without introducing us to the areas, the people, or Brazil in general.  If you could come up with a more consistant and ongoing theme it may tie all of the videos together better, rather than just a series of shorts.

I know what you mean Sasquatch but I think there can be good fluff and bad fluff and I think Pedra's is normally the good sort. I feel like I'm getting a little glimpse in to a local scene and don't mind in all remains a little enigmatic and not quite defined.

And the climbers always seem to be trying really hard, which is always fun to watch.

I know what you mean Sasquatch but I think there can be good fluff and bad fluff and I think Pedra's is normally the good sort. I feel like I'm getting a little glimpse in to a local scene and don't mind in all remains a little enigmatic and not quite defined.

And the climbers always seem to be trying really hard, which is always fun to watch.

I see what you mean, and agree it's normally good fluff.  I'm just hoping to give a bit of feedback.  I think the stuff he's producing has some really good quality, and with just a few tweaks he can produce the quality the big boys produce.  I'll admit that I'm interested in heading down to Brazil to boulder, and just from watching his vids.   

F^&* Rocklands and northern summertime - Brazil has salsa hotties in addition to bouldering.  :thumbsup:

Thought the movie was good especially bit at Vitruvian Man, made me want to go climbing at those places again.

One problem i have with bouldering videos in general is the convention of showing numerous attempts on a problem followed by the name and grade of the problem and then the successful ascent, or worse the name and grade of the route staying on screen during the ascent. It totally ruins any will s/he won't s/he tension plus i want to know what we are dealing with as soon we arrive at the problem.

Post by: a dense loner on August 30, 2012, 07:30:56 pm
I agree with Ben, it's 2012 the name and grade of a problem should be apparent at the start of a problem, and if ure trying to be arty watch the vid yourself b4 putting it out for everyone to see that said name n grade are legible.
I ave absolutely no talent in film making, or any other area, but since Ben is the best climbing filmmaker out there this more than cancels out my uselessness

What do you find best when said climb is a project, hence no name/grade until after the send?  List it as a project, then name/grade after sendage?

I think title: project-  proposed grade ? then attempts would be fine. Name comes after ascent unless it is already named. Was quite relieved in video of that Finnish guy doing his 8b+ when the music changed and he fell off again. If films do what you expect them to do you are already bored because of the inevitability of it all. Playing with convention is always fun.

This will be phase 1.

Phase 2 will be when there is a random mix of successful and failed attempts - with a different random order for  each problem.. to keep the viewer guessing.

Phase 3 will be a random mix of failed and successful attempts from different problems. To keep the viewer guessing even more. This could be worked even further by having a differerent soundtrack for each problem and to jump the audio when cutting from problem to problem.. and then sometimes not...!! Kind of video boot-strapping.

Phase 4 will follow the lines of phase 3, but include random driving to the crag, crag dog, eating, drinking coffee, surfing on bouldering mats, eating McDonalds shots etc...

Phase 5 will feature an episode of The Good Life.

Whilst "refreshed" towards the latter end of last night I nearly made a sarky comment about "gritstone".

The term "Millstone Grit" is an informal description of Namurian, coarse, poorly-sorted, deltaic, feldspar-rich sandstones found in the UK which have been previously economically exploited for use in milling. "Gritstone" is similarly an informal description of coarse sandstones applied (usually by climbers) to similar rock types all around the world. Therefore, technically, it isn't grit, but neither is Stanage, Brimham, Almscliff, Caley, Burbage, Cratcliffe, Shaftoe, Golsborough, Earl, Thorn...

Terminology aside, is there anything geologically unique about the uk coarse sandstones, or are all coarse sandstones pretty similar?

Post by: andy_e on September 07, 2012, 12:42:10 pm
Nothing whatsoever. I've heard of grit-like rocks in New Zealand and France too I'm sure, so they're not rare. They're fairly typical as deltaic sandstones with granitic origin.

Post by: liam fyfe on September 25, 2012, 01:25:03 pm
It is very similar to queens I did recently. Accept queens finishes up a soft v5. Where as boyracer in my opinion is 7c and JetBlue 7b so a considerable difference. I will smash the project when its dry as I've dropped the last moves of JetBlue from the floor twice. That will be a hard 11, but into boyracer will go aswell but will be considerably harder in my eyes. me and Dave MacLeod tryed it alot and neither did it that session so will be hard no matter what.

I LOVE this place, and the approach is Ace!!!  It's a 15 minute drive, 35 minute mtn bike, and 10 min hike into the bowl, the way back is 5 min hike down, 15 min bike, and 5 min drive to my favorite brewpub  ;D

8A+ and yes

Effort beast!!!
You make it look easy. Impressive.
Thx - I remember thinking the same thing of your recent sending.....
12 years!!!! Good effort, I thought the video would end with success  :'( keep on going, awesome setting.
The camera battery died missing the send(it was about 2C and windy, which is great for friction and crap for batteries), but I had already started putting the video together before I sent so I figured I'd just put it.  I lied the way it turned out.

What did you guys think of the editing, flow, etc.?

Have you tried heel instead of toe? (With the heel) I found the key was not to look too soon - as soon as you look at the hold you're going to it seems to force you out. Try to delay looking at it for as long as possible.

Heel yes, but also don't reach so soon, keep both hands on while you make the rock-over, maybe even palm down with the left.  Rock-over as far as you possibly can then make the reach, then rock-over a bit more.

As the others have said re the heel and not turning head too early. I found it easiest to get the heel up by matching the hold you have with your RH, pull up a bit, then throw it up.

+1. After trying it a fair bit I switched to matching the top hold and did it in about two more goes.

That's good advice, but I don't think its anything to do with head position - more like summit fever tempting you to try to shortcut/ lank the move. The real key is to concentrate on rocking leftwards rather than upwards - and working on getting your hips up not your hands. If you get far enough left the weight goes onto your foot and you can make the reach more easily. I use the heel but at your height I daresay the toe will work.

Don't think you need do defend your height on Souvenir, I'm 5'9" with 0 ape index and this is how I was trying it when I had a session on it. Actually felt less height dependant than trying to bump again into the small pocket (and a much nicer sequence). C'mon Dense everyone hates tall people but this guy looks innocent.

Post by: andy_e on November 28, 2012, 01:02:38 pm
It's not really anomalous, the first sound in 'hour' is a vowel sound, hence 'an'. The first sound in 'historian' is a consonant sound, hence 'a'. Otherwise you end up sounding like this sack of doorknobs...

Don't think it makes a difference where you started on Vitruvian as the first move is about 1B. Holding the lip swing is the only hard move on it! Thought it was harder than souvenir like but what do I know, I'm a lanky c*nt  :worms:

 :agree: although it breaks the common rule because 'h' isn't a vowel (but then rules were made to be broken just as boulder problems were put up without knee-pads).

Did cave-men start writing little post-its to communicate to each other first, or was spoken language later followed by written forms? It's the sound that determines the 'rule' - writing is just a way of codifying this. Like a silent echo.

Phonotactics - the rules of sound combination- is effectively an analysis of recurrent patterns of usage.  And if it's arduous to separate two vowel sounds,  people don't do it, they find the easier utterance. It's the big driver of linguistic change. That we have silent letters and other improbable letter combinations indicates where these words came from, a totally different linguistic environment - English deriving from Celtic,  German, Danish, French and Latin, in that order (Church rather than Roman Latin).

But since the internets a bit slow at times here I could only watch one prob at a time, ie with a resting time of approx 10mins between probs. So I went from souvenir thinking this guys tall, it's a long move, to vitruvian thinking this guys tiny, he doesn't really need to pick his feet up. So add a grade but take one off for being to chameleon-like

A quick compilation with a few of the best things I've done since I moved up to Sheffield in late September.

Minute 1,36. The essence of our discipline. A guys sticks the crux of a problem, and his friend breaks into a smile.
These are the fucking things I want to see in a video, not some sausage fest cheerleading just for the camera.
How many times have I thought "Please fall" when a friend - that I thought weaker - was about to climb a problem before me - the supposed crusher of crushers.
My hypocrisy is appalling, and I feel ashamed about my feelings, but videos like this can purify you.
Thank you.

Yeah, me too, but you should never under estimate my ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

I never really get too frustrated by these things as I think you've got to accept that for every time you sketch up a problem by the skin of your teeth you're occasionally going to fall off from the top of another.

On the plus side I get to do the awesome lower moves again.

I'm not altogether convinced that the gardening on the top, nor the blanket brushing of the face, was necessary. I felt the moss was part of the charm  :shrug:
I guess many classics we know were like that at some point, so I'm not saying it's wrong.

Post by: r-man on January 19, 2013, 01:17:14 pm
I wish more people would clean the green. Good effort, I say. Moss grows back fast. This is pretty low impact maintenance, without which esoteric problems become less and less appealing to climb, and the well travelled classics take more of a battering.

A Little Sparkle is in amongst the trees at Guisecliff, so will always attract moss if it doesn't get regular ascents. It should be clean at the moment  ;)

I'm not altogether convinced that the gardening on the top, nor the blanket brushing of the face, was necessary.

When we arrived there was moss overhanging the top and it needed removing to expose the finishing jug. We also cleared a small area behind that to make it easier to top out.

My main point behind the vid was to try and show some quality problems a little off the beaten track in the hope it might encourage others to do them.

I'm keen to get back to Clova but I reckon it's a bit snowy up there! I have been tweaking the Scottish Climbs wiki though. TBH I didn't spy much potential in the Sheep Pen area although who knows what might be lurking "on the other side of that small bloc you can't be arsed to walk to" ;)

Not sure our stuff made it to the SCWik as always struggled to upload, if I ping it over could you do the honours Chris?? Word doc OK or? also happy to be told how to do it too

Yes for sure the weight is the same. That said, to me the overall effort in the fingers is a lot greater in the front lever, mostly because of the different position they assume.
While deadhanging, fingers, wrists and elbows are in line, vertically.
While doing a front lever, fingers are pointing up (almost) vertically and the rest of the arm stays diagonal to the fingers. So I think that tendons are more stretched due to the angle in the wrists.

Failed dismally on Phobos @ Glenmarksie due to heat, insects, and cowardice, and did the HVS next to it. Generally haven't found it (Strathconon, rather than Strathnairn) inspiring enough to delay the journey to Wester Ross / Ardmair / Caithness.

Not yet, but with the arrival of the new guide I expect quite a few. The middle section finishing straight up where Rob is in the screen shot gets 7c in its own right and is tres bon. Desperately trying to get the guide out for when things like that dry out.

I reckon I weigh at least 2 or 3 'P-Robs',
so for all I know there could be a Daniel Woods hiding in there too.

Although given my climbing I reckon it is a P-Rob + a 50kg weight belt.

I just thought I would give an idea of the 2 moves for anyone that was interested in having a look at it.
I would personally be more interested in looking at a hard move followed by an easy dyno than the other way around...

I expect this is simply to claw back some of the vast outlay they will have made in licensing to record companies in establishing Google Music and making space for anyone with an account for 20,000 of their own tracks to be uploaded (YouTube is after all Google).

This really needs an upgrade to QBV, a climber trying really hard at or near their limit on a scary highball, the moves are unobvious and it's difficult to see what's coming, she sets up one way then moves another, the western-like music builds to crescendo along with the shouts of encouragement, tension mounts and mounts to a gripping finale. You know the ending but it's still nervy. Pure Hollywood. Love It.

When i first found that booulder i perceived the prob as traversing out on that sloping rail, thought it looked hard and never gave it a shot. Guess there are other ways. There's a possibility of going straight through the roof avoiding the right wall and the left arete too. That will be hard!
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on February 20, 2013, 04:35:06 pm
Not sure quite what you mean there? LTDCDM is described finishing with a direct rockover from the jug, about the same difficulty but shorter and safer. The lip traverse is described in your SC guide, as is the faint rail leading out from the groove at a higher level, that is The Sheep Pen Mantle. I'm not sure how you could fit in another line or avoid the left lip or right wall?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on February 20, 2013, 04:45:08 pm
I'm talking about the sloping lip that goes across the overhang at just above head height where you climb in that vid. You just span across to the left arete and avoid using this.

The hard optionIi had in mind was hanging this same sloping lip and spanning straight up above your head to another hold and then to the top. Is this the sheep pen mantle? I haven't done it, or even been back since these probs were done and written up.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on February 20, 2013, 05:05:41 pm
Hmmmm. There is a non-undercling line of shadow by my head which does nothing. There's also a sloping rail about 1m further out in the roof, but there wouldn't be anyway to use that to climb the roof, you'd either be forced to the lip (more of lip than an arete given it's 60° overhanging) or forced on to the right wall.

Sheep Pen Mantle does pretty much what you say, rock onto the big ledge on the right wall (as for the previously unlisted Sheep Pen Groove), then use that faint rail (which is crucial palming for SPG) to span back to the apex jug, then finish direct (as for this version of LTDCDM)

Edit:

Shows the palming action on the rail at 0:30.

Yeah, I've had a good few weeks! Also managed to get in a day at Moe's Valley whilst we were in Red Rock. That was pretty cool as it goes, and I'm really psyched to get back there with the kids again. Loads to go at, and hardly anyone there. In fact, we only saw 3 people all day. I'm headed to Colorado on Thursday for 6 days, too. Not to rub it in. =)

Good vid Gritlad. Nice to see Crispy Noodling in there.
Sorry to be a pedant but you used an 'out' hold on Arse of Japan. It goes off undercuts on the left (one points left, one right). Bit of a pointless eliminate really which seemed like a good idea at the time. Don't blame Adam for it though, i made up the rules, he just climbed it first. I only mention this as the guide is vague and most folk probably climb it with the 'wrong' holds and hence think it's easy. Again, sorry.  :shrug:

Jasper you have made my morning.

Show your son the Raaargh Ruthven and Pump Up The Jam videos too :)

As I posted on my blog in reply to Dunc, I watch 80% of climbing videos muted because I either don't really like or actively hate the music involved. Any form of ballads, folk, indie or melancholy rock I find particularly awful. Some of the ambient / techno / hip-hop stuff I like though.

This is my revenge....but I put on music I genuinely like. I was listening to this CD in the car on the way back and bouncing up and down to it whilst driving. Same with the death metal and drum and bass....I love it. That probably makes me a freak, but it is genuine.

Anyway if I do another cool problem before the end of winter, I have a special soundtrack planned, you have inspired me.

Its a bit different to Sole Power cos you're not using any aretes, much crimpier. I think a bit easier but its defo quite a hard crimpy lock off that LH sidepull/ undercut to go for a poor RH crimp, not something you could slap for I dont think. It would be harder if you had to pull directly on the crimps without reaching past them in effect using the undercut. that would perhaps lead you further rightwards on the wall. The way i did it is defo quite close to the crack but so be it, Id be interested to see how it could be done climbing it further to the centre

Re: Pirmin's monster trav. Multiple shots of the same move from multiple angles seems to be the norm in his videos...no doubt the result of attempting to edit whist tripping.

He seem's to have given it Fb 8c+/9a trav.  Soooo...although I'm pretty au fait with font grades, I don't really know how this relates to the typical yardstick of sport grades. Is this thing claimed to be the hardest of its kind then?

Well I thought they looked fun (though I have heard horror stories about the rock texture down that way.)

There's a lot in Lancashire though - from Silverdale lime to Bowland grit outcrops, to quarried gnarl, to Rossendale moorland grit and even the odd bit of sandstone. The three star classics here are pretty good.

Another release from twotone studios - a little edit of last night's session on Not My Stile at Caley. Less swearing / getting in a massive funk in this one.

I should add that:

a) the bloody great tickmark on the hold you heel hook was there when I arrived, and despite my best efforts would not brush off
b) Mike also did the problem, but in the faffing about changing camera angle I forgot to turn the camera back on!  :sorry:

Anyway:

I didn't get anywhere near it. The starting holds felt desperate but I was constantly out of breath from filming from different angles and from generally having a nice time. I'm going back soon though to try it in earnest and hopefully (flash) those highballs;falling off doesn't bear thinking about.

 I like what Lagers does with his clips of easier probs... puts 3 or 4 easier ones together as a mini circuit. Lots of folk look at his, so they become a bit of a reference for the mid grade enthusiast..
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: andyd on May 03, 2013, 07:45:56 pm
Maybe something like a crag/problem description. Some problems look really good but don't climb well and vise versa. Some are frustrating/painful/addictive/tenuous etc and it'd be useful to know. The content of many of these videos in non quality serves as beta. Would it be useful or better to include more with a voice over or mini interview? I'm tempted to add one in future.

On the 'easier problems' note, I think it's easy to forget that a lot of people aspire to climb the 7th grade problems that you have filmed, so in many ways they're more relevant than the 8th grade ones.

I'll add a narrative to my next one and see how it's received. I guess you can always mute it if you don't like it.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: andy_e on May 07, 2013, 09:52:13 am
Who wants to hear your voice on top of a video Andy? That's worse than dubstep!  ;)

I've been trying to put together some "crag profile" videos where I get a record of lots of the best problems of the crag of all grades for beta and psyche (much like the Stoupe Brow one) but often I spend ages trying one problem so I don't get that much filmed and it ends up taking ages to get enough footage together for a decent video. Plus editing the HD footage is far more time consuming as I have to load every frame individually and the playback is slow and clunky, especially on sped up/slowed down sections.

I've done Callerhues twice post-DVTs, it's not bad at all, sometimes a little boggy to finish. Very nice rock there, the routes are well worthwhile too (use the Rockfax grades tho!).

The walk in is easy, just wet. I have no idea why people think its hard. Ravensheugh is much worse and there is less to do when you get there.

Never seen CTM done like that. Don't know what the holds out left are like but it appears to miss out what was the crux move.

Nice video though and i must get up and do the reiver.

I actually thought the walk in to Ravensheugh was easier, albeit longer, as it was mostly forest tracks / good footpaths rather than over moorland, but neither was particularly arduous.

A crag local gave us the beta on CTM, in between being speechless that someone else was at the crag.  Felt soft for 7a+ like that but some good moves all the same.  If its the right or wrong way to do it someone else can get involved with that  :worms:.

Apologies for the spam but my old Uni club are in the finals of a comp to win some money (from a bank!) for the club. In perhaps a first for climbing videos it mixes bouldering with alpine but it's a pretty decent edit I think. Most views win so it'd be great if people could give it a watch.

It's really very good - interesting rock with a wide range of climbing styles and a nice relaxed feeling to the place - good views too. Admittedly, you have to be in the mood for the town of Leavenworth itself.
Would highly recommend it - too hot in summer though.
Haven't been to Gold Bar yet, but from what I've seen, it looks pretty wicked.

Good to see a bit of Buckstones footage; doesn't seem to get much traffic up there.
In my video feed I have another video from up there end of last year.
Might be a good thing it does not get too much traffic the rock was feeling a little snappy. The day I filmed that my mater took a hold off of Okey Dokey and the flake I grab on pauline felt like it was moving. Another large flake on the right of the pig in a poket block also moved.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: tomtom on July 08, 2013, 07:51:45 am
probably not lack of traffic Grubes - most likely a hard cold winter has taken its toll... all that frost action..
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Gritrat on July 08, 2013, 04:22:02 pm
Yeah the key flake on Legz Akimbo snapped on a really dry, cold day for me, so I'd guess as TomTom says the whole place has taken a battering over the winter.

Luckily it didn't seem to affect the difficulty of the move, as the remaining hold was about the same size, but a little blunter.

My post sounded a bit, "I'm in the club and you're not" but in reality, I was shown it on a damp day when it was soaked, I wouldn't know where to start to give directions but would have a 50/50 chance of finding it again.

Sorry for not giving things away easily, I'm very very keen to let everyone see all the new stuff at the same time and the guide in its entirety. If you stumble across this roof then I'd gladly give you what we've got documented. (Go exploring)
More importantly went for a walk yesterday before work and it was damp and starting to attract the slime again. Doubt it will dry again this year. Strong lad in vid must have done it a month ago when temps & humidity were high.

As for how the guides coming along see other thread.

Post by: Davo on August 23, 2013, 01:55:42 pm
Sorry I am a bit confused here.

Is it a secret or something? Is the access dubious or is there a reason for not just saying where it is and how to get to it?

I am not trying to be difficult but I really don't understand why anyone wouldn't just say where something is, how to get there and detail any access unless there was an access difficulty.

Sorry, didn’t realise my response would offend anyone. Access if fine, no there not a secret, routes 30 metres away were put up in the 70’s. Like so many areas of the Churnet just forgotten about and not revisited in the last 20/30 years. 
I guess I was just trying to keep things hush hush until the guide comes out to make it more impressive. As I said to cofe last year I feel like a dj who is just about to drop the needle onto the most sort after bit of vinyl.
I’ll throw it out to you guys would you want to wait or do you want me to post the location of this roof??

I see where you're coming from, but I think if anything you'll generate more interest in the guide by telling the super keen how to get to these places. They'll then enthuse about the climbing and the upcoming guide to their friends, and all of them will be keen to buy the guide.

I've noticed this with the moors bouldering I've been documenting recently - have told lots of people where it is and all about it. Most of them are very excited about the new areas, but most of them will also wait till the guide comes out so they have full details when they visit. Only a small percentage of climbers ever goes to a new crag without a guidebook.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on August 23, 2013, 03:52:08 pm
Nice. Thought Spider Crack was an eliminate though - going from crack to sloper up and right. Or maybe I was being foolish by copying another big Ron sequence?

It just eliminates the arete, shirley.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: r-man on August 23, 2013, 04:05:09 pm
Dunno. Perhaps it's one of those problems that has evolved more sensible rules. Like I said, I copied Ron because he happened to be there doing his circuit. I assumed he did the traditionally accepted problem, but perhaps it was just a bad sequence! I remember it being a fairly tough move, and quite good.

Hi Rainbow

Am not offended at all. No probs there.

Personally I would be keen to know where the roof is and will buy the guide when it comes out. I agree with the idea that by telling people now about the areas you will generate more excitement and more people will want to buy the guide.

Up to you what you do, I was probably just going to have a look sometime this month if I knew where it was.

Cheers Dave

Having read that, it makes perfect sense what you are saying. Giving people a chance to sample a few things before the guide comes out will only help to generate interest and intrigue futher. I do have strange way of looking at things at times.  ;)

Another reason why I was vague is I know its unlikely for the top to dry out again this year so didn't want people to be disappointed and have a wasted journey. However another quality block is 30 metres away and dry most of the year so that will give everyone a chance to get their teeth into something.
What I'll do tomorrow night is post on the other thread directions to the roof and block just beyond it and if anyone wants a topo of whats on offer just pm me your email address and I'll glady send one over.

I assumed he did the traditionally accepted problem, but perhaps it was just a bad sequence! I remember it being a fairly tough move, and quite good.

It is a good move, and I think its the way I first did the standup, but logically in terms of standard described named problems it would look a bit daft to say "climb this crack problem using the crack, but eliminate one part of the crack right at the top."  Thats not to say you can't eliminate whatever you want, but logical "avoid the arete" type eliminates need to stay logical.

It was probably just the case that ron hadn't spotted that hold at the top of the crack. And hence a lesson on how casual missed sequences and coincidences snowball into "accepted sequences" and rules etc.

Thanks for comments. Was an awesome trip.
It is mostly north of the campsite but it will all be detailed in a topo i am making at the moment. In all we have about 60 problems from font 4-7a. There are also some projects, but most of the stuff we climbed was done quickly. We went for volume rather than difficulty, but there are certainly hard lines. A more focussed look at these problems (a couple of which will be detailed in the guide)  or a visiting power merchant will open some brilliant lines.

That isn't Cnoc and Staca. The boulder i'm climbing on at that point has fallen from Cnoc and Staca, and so the crag is up and right of that shot. In the guide there will be pretty clear photos of this that should hopefully make it all clear. Where do people reckon i should post the guide so people can get it easily?

Check with richieb and others before you do, so you can capture as much info as possible.

I think Scotland in general could do with a website like http://peakbouldering.info/ (http://peakbouldering.info/) http://www.dumby.info/ (http://www.dumby.info/)  http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/ (http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/) or http://www.lakesbloc.com/ (http://www.lakesbloc.com/) That bouldersscotland page isn't the most useful.

I guess if you can climb 8b (FA Partage ss) then 7b isn't so hard. Monsieur Collignon's 3rd film should be interesting.

Tis on the Quality Thread

So, following some nice comments about the Sheigra video I made i am fully expecting to be torn apart for this one. Before you watch, this was just a bit of fun (on a super windy day when climbing elsewhere would have been silly/dangerous). After making the movie i needed 6 mins of music and found a piece by John Williams called "Summon the Heroes". As a laugh i put it in, and found it so hilarious how it matched with the music that i couldn't change it. Particular highlight is the slap in the second ascent in the film of "one-per-cent". Hope you enjoy the outrageously OTT music. (and apologies also  ;D )

Nice Beegsy. Are you based anywhere near the Thirlstane? It's my new localish venue and i've seen holds chalked up there but not any other climbers yet.

Gillercombe looks ace
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Beegsyboy on September 20, 2013, 10:14:50 pm
Cheers. Stay in Edinburgh so not that close, been down a few times but only ever seen one person trad climbing.

Gillercombe is awesome, bit of a hike in but well worth it, stunning location.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Stewart on September 22, 2013, 07:40:00 pm
I'll hopefully check out Gillercombe soon then. Sounds good.

I did a variation of Grade Obsessed at Thirlstane on Friday without the big hold on the left arete. Obvious eliminate and I think it improves the problem. Added it to the database as 'Grade Progressed'. Nice wee venue for an evening and plenty hard stuff to go at.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Stewart on September 27, 2013, 10:23:21 pm
Speaking of the Thirlstane, here's a low budget offering of some more problems there. It's not exactly st bees but it's got some good problems for a wee crag.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Stewart on September 27, 2013, 11:35:05 pm
Aha, I would like to do them but the descriptions are a bit confusing! They are basically traverses along the different breaks roughly where grade obsessed is? Jihad is nails! I'm still to do nitro which is even nailsier.

Ah ok, the lower foot hold round there tend to be a bit slimey. I'll have a look though next time i'm down. Do you know the line for smack heid by any chance? The description for that says start at the niche and traverse into craig's wall which suggests doing your problem, crossing the cave mouth, traversing grade obsessed and then doing craig's wall which seems tough considering it gets the same grade as craig's wall??  :unsure:

Is it? I was told about it but haven't seen it written up yet. It was more a larking around session than a serious send. I kinda think it's bull giving this a name and a grade. It's just a section of a classic. Fun though.

Post by: ghisino on October 03, 2013, 10:54:38 am
:).

details (not yet on bleau.info): walk the route des gorges d'apremont and skip the main sector completely. 50 meters after the crossing with route de la solitude look left and you'll see a big boulder with a big pocket in its middle, 50 meters from you.
(this one has 3 problems in the 6's)
Keep walking on the route des gorges and roughly 100m further you should see a badly traced path on the left, leading in 20 meters to the  "camalot" boulder.
The crack and other problems (7a-8a+) are in a pit on the backside. If looked from the route des gorges the boulder looks like an almost flat mossy slab with a giant crack in the middle.

+1 Match nose with a guppy that you can bounce up if you like...

Use your TOE (not heel) on the edge/pocket on the lip out right and as you come onto it - it all works.

Scratched forearms are requisite for a first tick. ;)

Nice vid of the dove from above. Rich and myself did that some years ago. Thought it was a great little problem. Can't really remember but sure we held a crimp under the roof with RH then went up to the arete with left. The only guppies that existed in them days were the ones you netted from the local ponds ;)

In the course of sorting out by old DV camcorder for flogging on eBay I found a load of old footage so cobbled together a little video. Nothing dramatic but there are a few classics on there - apologies in advance for shaky camerawork!

Hunter climbs V10 with a broken finger on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/79545352)
Quote

 On his flash attempt Hunter cracked the bone in his ring finger on his left hand due to crimping to hard. When the bone cracks he doesn't fall but continues to climb through the crux falling while throwing for the jug. Not knowing of the injury yet Hunter immediately gets back on the problem and sends. Two hours later his finger began to swell and bruise. Hunter discovered that he had not fully snapped his bone but cracked it from extreme stress and exertion of force.

What I really like about bouldering is that it's such a process oriented activity...it's not so much about ticking grades, more about exploring your own limits, learning new moves, having a good time in the forest with friends.

i definitely feel less pressure about sending than when sport climbing for instance.

i can spend a whole day falling on the same move and call it an enjoyable session.

a nice example of my peaceful attitude:

See you there sometime!

I think that whole area will be popular - close to Huddersfield and Manchester, so pretty handy for a lot of people. Alongside Blackstone there's Stony Edge, Dove Lowe, Cow's Mouth, and lots of minor spots like Holder Stones, Hammerhead and Higher Chelburn. I think it's better than the nearby Widdop/Bridestones/Scout Hut Crag cluster - slightly longer walk-ins though!

I'd just started watching sasquatch's first vid when the girlfriend, who started watching a couple of minutes in said "where's that" and I said "Alaska". She immediately said "ok let me know when she tells you" and turned over and went to sleep.

You lanky fuckers make me sick...

Will, surprised you didn't go for the low start on solomons.  Had a look a while back and while I predictably couldn't pull off the ground on the stand start from up right I thought the direct low/sit start moves into the standup start position were a piece of piss, 5c tops. Was feeling like they would make it a better more complete problem for not much extra effort, especially not for a freakishly lanky cunt like your good self.

My intention was to go for the sit, but my plans were scuppered when I blew off the crimp and split my tip and took all the skin off my knuckles, very messy.

I don't think the low start is as easy as you're making out, it's relatively east to start low and get stood up, but actually getting into a position where you can begin climb the top half of the problem is another matter. Hopefully going to get back up there soon so we'll see.

pretty bad knuckle destruction.
Worst I ever had was on soft on the G at Gardoms, right hand blew of the sidepull and took all skin off both 1st and 2nd joint knuckles of all 4 fingers on right hand, bled like fuck. Seem to remember Johnny taking a bad knuckle ripper falling off highish on careless torque

I did a bad one whacking the start hold on Brad Pit with a bar towel. I was there with a lantern and had turned it off to save the battery, and by headtorch totally misjudged the distance to the hold and basically smacked the rock really hard, thankfully only one knuckle. Left a permenant scar and took weeks to heal, every time I put my hand in my jeans pocket it would open up again. Fucking crushed the problem though.

I tore the whole pad of my index finger off when my foot slipped as I was crimping the pebble on that fucking problem (as lagers will recall).

The good thing is my finger grew a new pad whereas some fat cunt ripped the pebble off and it's now dead.

You're more likely to sit on a pad in the middle of the crux move than break your back on it - the crux of the problem is not sitting down mid-crux.

Nice. I've been keen to have a look at Rewind for a while. What's it like as a highball? Guide suggests 7b?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: andyd on March 20, 2014, 10:50:45 pm
I thought rewind was really good. Four decent pads were used. The crux is just a little committing but not hard. I took the grade from ukc to put in the video as I don't have the new guide. It isn't 7b by any stretch of the imagination. I did it 3 times for the camera angles. You really wouldn't want to fall off it without a pad (hence E6) but it's fine with them. Compared to the other E6s that I've highballed, this is a boulder problem. I'd definitely recommend it though.

What's the crazy midget sequence?

Having done Powerband / Staminaband by every variation that there was in the old days, it is definitely considerablly easier (particularly on Staminaband) to do the finish that way instead of the proper way as holding the pocket when a bit pumped is way more tricky than swinging down to the hold on the pillar. I can only imagine the difference is magnified by adding the Boy Band start into it.

So good effort Barrows but surely someone with your boredom threshold levels of stamina should have the proper finish as  a goal.  ;)

IIRC Steve gets pocket with lh, rh goes to minging little pocket undercut on back wall, then lh to pillar.

Yeah, no doubt would add to it. I'd never tried the go-again method until I tried this link and was pleasently surprised by how easy it was. Steve said solid 9a for him, I suspect that will be the case for anyone using the dropdown finish, especially if not lanking down to the toe hook under the pillar that some of us tall folk use for the dropdown move.

Going straight to the pillar is steady if you're tall. That's how I first did Staminaband but was made to feel guilty so did it again with the drop down.

Nice one Chris. Good film and good footage that shows the problems really well. I had to listen to the first half with the sound off though. Font grades for the highballs would have been useful.

One question: Why did you cut the tree down? And is it wise to show that on video wrt access and portraying climbers? (I don't have a problem with it myself)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Bonjoy on April 28, 2014, 01:18:48 pm
IMO it's not the sort of location where it would create access issues. It's half way up a steep rubble bank below an overgrown disused quarry, in the middle of a fairly thick wood well away from paths or dwellings. Also there has been a fair bit of tree/rhody clearance (not by climbers) not far away. The tree itself is/was a spindly sycamore among a host of other spindly sycamores.

Thanks. I think we've already established that not everyone has the same tastes in NQBV music  ;). I try and put a selection in but you're never going to please everyone. Fair point about highball grades, I just went with accepted guidebook grades but agree font grades would be useful for anyone attempting a ground up / flash etc.

I knew someone would ask about the tree! Pretty much what Bonjoy kindly wrote but also:

If you fell off you would have clattered into the tree without a doubt. You can see the position of the tree when I'm cleaning the route. I could have climbed it with the tree in place at E5ish and while I doubt it will ever have a queue of ascentionists I felt it was more likely to appeal as a paddable highball than an esoteric solo. You can't see it in the video but I trimmed the stump back too so the landing was flat.

Removing the tree will hopefully make it a bit more open to sunlight so it might not end up covered in moss again quite as quickly as it might have done.

NNFN in that I punted off the end of my proj and landed on my backside. As for bolting, possibly, but some of the conglom clasts above that lower band are scary - very easy to pull out. Over to the left there is more potential, whilst directly above the bouldering it looks like Ondraland.

I wasn't sure myself about Boston Mess, hence the ? in the vid. I've climbed that problem so many different ways in the past. I couldn't remember and went of a description read out to me from the new Rock fax guide.

With the sheep sitter I'm surprised to get called out on this as I've always done it this way. Surely it's the crack climbed from sitting, only using the crack? Fair enough if not but where does the problem actually go then out of interest?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Andy B on August 13, 2014, 01:45:58 pm
Hiya Mike. From memory, that is Sickle Crack sitter. The Sheep Sitter stays on the right side of the crack the whole way, with a really awkward, off balance start from a hand jam.

I think we went through this a while ago, and what I put on peakbouldering seemed to be the conclusion:

Boston Mess Original 7C+
Rules: Start from a low undercut (not quite a sitstart), pull on, go left to furthest left undercut, right hand to middle undercut (crux), then use other holds to gain the ledge above. (What Mike did)

Boston Mess Sidepulls 7A+
Pull on to the left-hand undercuts and climb to the ledge.

Boston Mess Standing Start 6C

Boston Mess Jump 7B
Pull on to the low undercuts and jump to the ledge.

Presumably the jump goes to the lower right ledge?






Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 13, 2014, 03:40:09 pm
No worries about the debate, it's all healthy.

There are only two sit problems on the Sheep boulder. The first goes straight up the arête and is low 7's. The second is The Sheep Sitter, which obviously doesn't use the arête. The way I climbed this felt about right for the grade and much nicer than fist jamming anything. maybe this is just another way of doing it? Apologies if my sequence offends anyone.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Andy B on August 13, 2014, 04:53:51 pm
I'm home now and have checked the guide. It's how I said earlier, although I certainly wouldn't dispute that Sickle Crack Sitter is much nicer.

Post by: a dense loner on August 13, 2014, 06:30:40 pm
I didn't go as far left as mike with my feet. It's been nowhere near a sitting start ever tho. Think Ned may have said he did it from sitting at 8a? Could be imagining that. I thought the crux was to take my right foot off the lowest hold. Looks like mike also used the chip for his foot(?)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 13, 2014, 07:28:08 pm
I agree that to do a sit coming in from the right is way harder than 7b+. I've also checked the guide Andy and it's like I said. Sickle crack uses the arete and goes straight up! Which I did not, instead moving right.: hence sheep sit in my mind.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 13, 2014, 08:04:26 pm
Oops I didn't think that through. I think R man is right about Dense talking about Boston Mess. Yep I went out left to the chip and jumped from there.  The crux is defo moving your right foot of the low edge and getting your feet up on Boston Mess.

I still stand by the fact that a sitting start on the right to the sheep would be harder than 7b+. I've got a bee in my bonnet about this as it was a really nice couple of tension moves. Also I've always interpreted the problems that way. I think in the past I have tried to do a sit on the right and it was awkward bordering on impossible, as the ground drops away. Has anyone actually done this?

The left hand on TTMM is not huge is a poor sloper. I normally climb this more stylishly using intermediates. It however was too hot and I didn't have the time on the left hand. So I just jumped.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: a dense loner on August 13, 2014, 08:10:17 pm
I know it's a poor sloper I thought it might have got bigger since you pissed it! I know it gets 7b+ but it's absolutely desparate!

I thought it was desparate for 7c then when it went in the guide at 7b+ I thought it was just dupery, rupert on predictive txt, taking the piss! Little pig I think is very fair at 7c. Anyway hadn't you best set off for school it's nearly 9

Has anyone actually done this?

So you think starting in the same place and heading right to finish, rather than left, changes it from a 7a to a 7b+? If that's the consensus then i'll gladly take starting on the left as The Sheep Sitter tick. Its just gone from a nemesis to the easiest 7b+ in the Peak.

I did the right sit start in two halves in two ways (if that makes sense?), then kept slipping off the polished foothold and lost the will. Method one: left hand jamming in the base of the crack, right foot on the polished dish with a pebble in it, left foot flagging uselessly under the crack (getting in the way more than anything), right hand on nothing (i think). Pull on and press out the jam to rock over enough to bone the little pocket with your right, then either change feet, or do a really high foot jam and slap with your left to the layaway higher in the crack. From there you're on the stander. Method 2: same start but instead of boning the little pocket go into a backhand sprag in the crack and commence lots of finger shuffling until you can get your left foot up.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Andy B on August 13, 2014, 08:39:49 pm
Lee, Talk To Me Martin is a very different problem if you can't reach the high right handhold off the good low left foothold.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 13, 2014, 09:36:13 pm
I think your answer here is quite telling Andy. It's clearly not 7b+ from that start. Heading from the left eliminating the arête is clearly a better method. I think your being a bit sore saying it's clearly the easiest 7b+ in the peak. Have you done it this way? It's actually tricky and much harder than Sickle. Either way it is good to get it out there as it either needs a better description and a grade change. Or accepting that there's a better method and get people to climb it and down grade it if consensus dictates. 

Problems like TTNM are always going to be easier if your tall, that's life

I'm far more concerned about the use of an illicit foothold on the Yellow And Black board problem  :blink:

I think your being a bit sore saying it's clearly the easiest 7b+ in the peak. Have you done it this way?

Yes.
I find finishing right easier than grovelling up left.

The right hand start isn't shit IMO, just harder. Just cos something is hard for the grade, I don't reckon it makes sense to change the problem to fit the grade. I like having a few sandbags out there still. I've been there with various folk, who all thought Sheep Sitter started on the right.

Given that the standers only have a plus grade between them, if they shared the same sit it seams strange that the grade difference then jumps to 3 grades?

No soreness on my part. As I said, Ive only done it your way, and finishing left. I haven't linked it the way I think it goes.

I know it's a poor sloper I thought it might have got bigger since you pissed it! I know it gets 7b+ but it's absolutely desparate!

That LH hold on TTMM has a very slight divot on it, which for mere mortals makes it holdable in good nick to have a slap up with the right hand. I could never get the distance though so ended up doing the problem by going up to one of the fingertip slopers with LH, moving left foot into the higher pocket and then pulling through for the top jug with RH. Nasty problem.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 14, 2014, 07:51:44 am
Isn't climbing great, how people find it different.  In my mind there is no difference really in the starts, the only rule that makes sense sinister arête. Although i suppose it depends on how it was done on the first ascent. I'd be up for a better description if it's needed.

For a climber of my height no way is heading right into the sloper easier than going up via the arête. Heading right is an enjoyable,awkward, reachy press move for me,off a polished foothold smear. I'm impressed that you find this way so easy, especially being short. The arête is a basic layback and stand up, much easier in my world.

As for sandbags I am against it. Grade should be an accurate reflection of the difficulty to be encountered. This can and will be one grads outright way for lots of reasons, but still should try to convey the expected difficulty. Wrong excessive sandbag grades just lead to problems getting getting ignored, or worse shrouded in mystery. Especially when people make assumptions about how they must have been done. That is another debate entirely though.

Obviously we're not going to agree on this as our experiences are clearly different. Good luck on your version, it's still a challenge for you even if people like me chose to interpret the climb a different way. That's the Joy of climbing.

I'm not that naive, but they should be fairly accurate with relation to one another in an area with consensus. It's the only system we've got so we should all at least attempt to make it work as best we can (Suddenly i'm an optimist!).

I always thought sheep ss started on the right as it would naturally climb into the stand up to the original? The other way would be sickle ss eliminating the arête and finishing up the sheep, or something like that  :-\  and the sheep is a sandbag anyway.

In my mind that's just madness. You would start with both hands in the crack anyway, which ever way you face. If I was to start like that there is no way I would use that pocket, I would keep both hands in the crack.

Probably best to move on from this now as one thing that is clear, is that this is a log problem!

Post by: Boredboy on August 14, 2014, 09:04:46 pm
Fair enough, it probably just doesn't climb as I'd imagine, I don't think it's a log problem, the sheep was one of my favourite boulders about 20 yrs ago and I've enjoyed thinking about how it climbs from a sitter. Probably trying to avoid moving on! I do agree TTMM isn't height dependent though, crimpy 7b+ if done the usual way, never seen it done with that jump  8)
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Dolph on August 14, 2014, 10:22:22 pm
I hate it when gritstone climbs get over complicated with rules, hence now in my mind it being somewhat lessened. It's a different matter with the lime. I'm done with discussing this now. If people want to call the climb I did something else then fine. It's no where near the best 7b I've ever done. I don't care as much as my constant posting might suggest.

I don't think anyone said TTMM is reachy. I just said it is perhaps easier if your taller. As I said I normally climb this as Dave describes, but on this day in the heat I couldn't hold the higher left hand sloper, so I just jumped it. I actually really like this problem.

Thanks!  Mainly one good climbing day, although the festival and biking made for incredible days.  The first couple of days were around 27C, then it got hot and was above 30C for the last 3, with only a bit of a breeze.  Not ideal for climbing.  The day in the vid was 27 but had a pretty good breeze.

I thought the footholds out right could only be used if you're tall, and if you're shorter you have to use the closer footholds, making it harder? Could be wrong though.

Evening Gents,

To be brutally honest I never usually reply to UKB rubbish like this, only conditions reports. This being the exception that I couldn't work out whether 'a dense loner' was joking or not with that first comment. Adam Ondra makes 8C look like 7B+ and easier in videos so I don't get what you were trying to say, you know Carpenters Apprentice gets 8A+ but someone climbing it in a video makes it look like a 7B+ and that means... what? Maybe you should downgrade the Big Paw to 7A to add to your internet infused ego.

Thanks Ed, Jack and Duma for clarifying the problem. The Carpenters Apprentice starts sitting as for Fat Cat Roof (most logical place to start from sitting) but finishes on a blank face to the right involving an infamous press move. Some really tall people (Alex Mannion and Ben West for example) could stretch to a footblock/bulge down and right making the problem 7C+/8A but original line/beta still gets original 8A+.

Norman, there are no "rules" or eliminates or what ever you name them just a cool problem with tall man and small man beta.

Hope that clears things up.
 
I don't like arguing much on internet so come for chat at TCA Bristol this Saturday or message me for number if you want to talk like men. 

Happy climbing, James

Not to bring up old news but the whole carpenters thing is confusing. Firstly great effort to james the og beta i think warrants low end 8a, i graded it around 8a/+ when i was younger and hard to believe shorter. But after reclimbing it a few times finding some better foot positions revised the grade. A few friends of mine alot taller found a way of getting there feet really low on good feet. You have to be at least around 6ft give or take for it too work. The consensus for that method was 7c/+. James try not to bite on here. If your gunna start a fight dont pick a windy. day you will blow away haha

But it's not only my opinion Liam, that was the point of the exercise.
You have already said it's soft 8a not 8a+ and people who are 6' will find it 7c/7c+. So in essence me watching a vid and saying from my armchair it looks 7b+ wasn't too far out really

I was only pissing about. The reason i posted literally was to shed light on the problem as the not aloud to use certain feet is bollocks. It is in no way an eliminate and is a great problem. It really needs more attention no matter what grade it is.

that's amazing for many reasons, not only did they edit the worst footwork footage in where he was saying how great the other guys' footwork is, but it has infidele at 8a, using the 7b+ method  :great:

Dom is a tank! Never seen someone as psyched to get out there and climb all the time.

Here's a bit more North Wales bouldering, from the past few months. Made the video a bit long, but hard to cut out problems as they're all so good.

Effort pal. I had a go on Bara Brith yesterday, tried going left hand first like that. You miss out that minging razor that Danny used, fierce flash! Keen to go back to that when fingers feel a bit stronger. Corridors looks mega, it's had about 4 ascents in the last week. (Badgers and Love Pie are sit starts  :spank:  :P)

Another moorland spot. Like a few of the East Lancs Moors crags it's actually in Yorkshire, but they are all on the same moor between Todmorden and Littleborough. Some nice problems here, high up above Withens Clough Reservoir.

Cheers. Yeah we watched Danny's vid after. Was never going to pull on that razor! Could have been 7C way we did it, but heavy people might feel differently. Corridors deserves the attention, lovely line just have to put up with the pain and do it swift. Yeah was a bit naughty on Badgers, did it that way as the arete was soaked when we were there. Had only seen the vid of Ned on Love Pie so will go back around on that.

Psychology at work.

I was trying that thinking it was 7a+ and spent a good 30 minutes failing. When I read the guide and found it was a mere 6b+ I did it on the next try.

Go figure.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: r-man on September 28, 2014, 09:49:07 pm
Yeah the 7A+ sitstarts using holds on the arête, then rocks rightwards with a foot on the starting hold of KOS. I had to bellyflop the shelf to make it work. Maybe if I'd called it 6B+ before climbing it, it would have been easier...

Great vid Rick.

Looks good - bit o' jesting on my part. I don't necessarily turn my nose up at low stuff. Although I do remember laughing out loud when I first saw people trying Fear of a Slopey Planet in the Pass (I was new to climbing). Later on I quite enjoyed climbing it.  Still, being tall means that I get pissed off if the crux is simply keeping arse-from-deck.

No worries, I am probably a bit sensitive because I've put a lot of effort into developing/documenting some of these crags. The idea that people are writing them off as lowball rubbish disappointed me, especially as it's far from the truth. My fault for filming too many lowballs!

Depends on the route. I think these do. That's the highest problem on this wall, and we've dropped off from near the top with no issues.

I didn't say it was a boulder problem, the route is definitely a route or has the feel of a route, but this particular wall lends itself to being climbed above pads rather than being led. There's very little gear anyway on Hell's Bells, and it's slightly overhanging, making a drop onto pads scary but safe even from the top.

Solo / boulder / highball, I guess there's no finite boundaries...

I was having this conversation the other day with Will.

Successor State felt like a highball to me and we only had a few pads, I haven't done Psycho because I'm a wuss and it's definitely a route that people make safer with mats. It's obviously a very fuzzy boundary, but the people I know who have done more stuff like Psycho, Beetle, etc are grit climbers who were most active in the 90's.

On Baby Bouncer I think body length might make a difference - I had to jump the first move but it looks like you can move your hands up a bit before cutting loose. Have done a proper sitter as well. A bit harder but the crux is the same. Either way, it may well be over graded. I'm sure some of these will take a few repeats to settle, so it's good to discuss.

If that's the one with Dave Thomas on front it's a truly great guide

It is, good and mental. The new Dartmoor one will be coming out next year, looks good too!

On Baby Bouncer I think body length might make a difference - I had to jump the first move but it looks like you can move your hands up a bit before cutting loose. Have done a proper sitter as well. A bit harder but the crux is the same. Either way, it may well be over graded. I'm sure some of these will take a few repeats to settle, so it's good to discuss.

Just heard the books have arrived at the warehouse. Need to go pick them up...

I like the idea of a guide book put together by a man with a penchant for magical realism

First guide I bought. It is fantastic, contains good pub guide, splendid route descriptions, e.g. 'Garth, a hairy chest celebration of the pump', there's also a route description in Hebrew in there somewhere. It certainly captures the mood of the area.

Cheers all. The Universal is indeed a great problem on a great boulder in an amazing setting.

@ richieb - Good to meet you and the other locals, we're really grateful for all the the help and advice. We weren't sure that was The Universal at first as it looked nothing the picture on the Stone Country blog - here (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,14805.msg285339.html#msg285339)

As for The Potential Seven I think Andy and myself felt it was probably hard 7B although we did it with slightly different sequences. Must have felt much harder in the full sun on the first ascent.

Still plenty to go back for though  :)

Thanks Simon. We were both pretty pysched ticking Malc's, it would have been a long drive back if we hadn't.

Despite appearances Three streaks was actually bone dry. It is obviously a run off line (hence presumably the name) but none of the rock was wet. The big dark coloured streak you can see in the video was just some sort of dried on crud.

I don't think there's a true sitter as the base of the boulder is normally a big puddle. There's a low / crouching start that adds difficulty but not quality.

Firstly; why isn't this thread stickied?

Secondly: here's some more non-qual stuff for my fellow sub-6 crab style lank lovers

these 2 traverses are actually pretty good (notice the lack of matching/sharing holds) and provide a good warm up for the Remergence bloc

Dead Tree Crack is just left of the Tiny Slab - both about 20m right of Mutiny Crack, Remergence, Blind Date etc

Interestingly, although it was The Mark Leach who first showed me these traverses, I still manage to use some half decent foot sequences to get myself across - if you find it strenuous, YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG

Vimeo have started getting pretty sharp on the stealing other people's music thing, so I've used some top class corporate motivational vibes

I actually approached Ninjatunes for a quote on what it would cost to use one of their licensed tracks for a video a while back from which I would receive zero financial benefit, and they said admin. costs start at £200, then there's the fee depending on the seconds of music used, where it was shown, etc etc.
Ridiculous of course, but fine if you have a BBC budget I guess.
As you say, FMA are good, also searching for creative commons music brings up a few more sources. There is stuff out there, but you have to search through lots of chuff to get good music...

Ment to post this awhile back. A bit of self promoting of my new video! Alittle chuffing here too with jordan walking up mecca and me on bricktop

Looking strong on moffatrocity, you should get that next time.

(This is my humorous attempt to point out its a jump start).

TBH I only pulled on to try the first few moves as it was totally condensed out, you could do about 2-3 moves and your hands were wet, I have no idea how i didn't just slip off on every move.

Although I don't like that jump start as I almost broke my back jumping for it and slipping off landing back first on the floor with no pads and cracking the back of my head...I seem to be making a habbit of that :/

Ha! There were some impressively large piles of Turnips So there would have been enough to go around!

I use a Canon 650D with various lenses, mostly the 75-300mm although the closer stuff is with the kit lens.

I'm quite pleased with the quality it gives but probably need to improve editing/render settings...

Please tell me you're not playing music at the crag, especially not the Tor at night. Given how delicate the access situation is at many of the central limestone crags at the minute that type of behaviour isn't likely to give climbers a tremendously good name.

Blimey, so just thought Id get a few words in myself now. So as it stands atm, the bmc advice for the area is.

Maintain a quiet and low-key presence whilst visiting. Don’t disturb the fishermen and always remain polite when interacting with other people in the dale.

Although listening back  on the video I must admit the music sounds loud but you will have to take my word on this that it is barley audible over talking. Its playing out of the tiny speakers on a phone and if I tried to play it loud it would just make a horrible noise. If anyone was to turn up at the crag be it walkers climbers or fishermen, then out of common decency I would turn the music off as I know that it can be annoying to others.

As for socks Willackers! You know not of what you are missing! :lol:

Anyway, hope you were able to enjoy the rest of the crag music free video.

There's a 7A eliminate dyno to the left of the Tempest.

To the right is the 5+ in the video, then a 6B+ finger crack and then the arete is a 6A solo, if you fell off you'd go for miles down the steep drop off...

It's a shame it's the only bit of rock like it there as it's amazing quality. As you can see in the video the rest of the problems are more like the rock in the mountains.

On the other hand, I'm only posting this as a lesson in how NOT to do problem editing:

https://vimeo.com/118826131

Unwatchably choppy on almost every problem. You know something is up when the longest continual footage is someone brushing a hold, and they even manage to do a little snip and cut on Quine FFS. N.B. Unlikely to spoil any beta at least.

Belittling my arse - notice you say "Play nice" after quoting me saying "otherwise decent, clear footage".

It's valid criticism - that's why I posted it. You get a video put on UKC as their Friday night video, then it's public enough to expect some public response.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: slackline on February 14, 2015, 01:11:06 pm
Perhaps comment on FUKC rather than perpetuating things you think are crap here just so you can comment on how crap you think it is.  Or post a comment on the videos page on Vimeo / YouTube.

It's a strange mindset (to me) to spend time posting something one thinks is shit just so that you can comment on how shit you think it is.

If you genuinely want to provide critique then you should direct it at the producers rather than telling us what you think about it because quite frankly I, and I expect many others, don't care what you think of it.

Although my first post phrased it harshly it should be obvious as I posted it as an example to others to try to discourage editing that spoils footage.

If Andy or anyone wants to explain / justify what they like more about constantly changing camera angles with short overlaps of moves so you don't see the problem climbed in one go, obviously I'll be interested to hear that.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: abarro81 on February 14, 2015, 08:11:21 pm
Do you dislike the big up/LT11 editing Fiend? That's quite choppy but I generally like it. I thought the vid you linked was quite nice, though I'd agree that it was too choppy, or too overtly choppy, for my liking. I think is is partly because the chops are between very similar angles in may cases. IMO it's much better to flick between angles which are more different, or close-ups, rather than just where the camera has moved a few ft. If you watch the dosages there's generally only a cut if the angle changes by 90 degrees or more or if the close-up-ness changes significantly. I suspect that this is because if you're cutting between significantly different angles it feels like it adds something whereas with similar angles it feels gratuitous.   Incidentally, when there's chopping I like it to facilitate editing moves to the beat, rather than angle switches to the beat, but that may just be me.

Yeah yeah, maybe suggest on the vimeo that you think the way they have edited it has made it seem choppy, so they can improve on this. I agree the slight change in camera angles is for the most part unnecessary.  I think other than that they are well made videos with some nice climbing, decent footage, and chilled out music to accompany.

My favourites are when someone stands a camera on a tripod thirty feet away then tries the same problem over and over for about five minutes and then does it just near the end.  They're brilliant they are.  Even better when there's a shot of them on the mat cleaning their shoes. Oh and not forgetting the directors cut including the brushing the holds scene.

I'm with Fiend on the poor quality editting. I'd have understood if they hadn't made the moves overlap so you watch small slap twice from nigh on the same angle. If you saw small slap - cut - hand on said hold and then moves from there, it would flow. In its current state, it's way too jarring, and it feels like they're making the short film longer than it needs to be without any reason.

Hi,
I don't post on here very often but thought I would post to say thank you for the the positive feedback as well as the negative on mine and my brothers video. Its good to hear what people think of it. Sam does take pleasure in the editing side of the videos and does like to experiment with different editing techniques and different cuts and mixes of clips. We do try to keep the videos relatively neutral whilst adding a little something to make them differ from other such videos, but unfortunately it is very hard to appeal to and please everyone. The point made about the changes between very similar filming angle clips I definitely can see when watching it back with that in mind, so will bear it in mind for the future.
Cheers

lots of the videos ideas are great and spliced editing really works when trying to keep people interested in the shots but as others have said different angles would be better, i love editing too and am no pro myself it just takes a load of practice i think!
check this out if you havent already for ideas: https://vimeo.com/83075012
everything about this video is good, the artistic angles and shots, the great lighting, the difference between the pace of the video. i guess having a gimbal and crane as well as a crew help but you get the idea!

Stubbs is right - the pad is for the kneescum on the last move. If you pull hard with your knee you don't really need to pull hard with your hand..

If you think that's bad for chalk bag dabs you should have seen me on Ben's Roof Extension; I don't think my chalk bag left the ground for about the first 8 moves.

I first worked out that traversing the back wall beta in 2006 but thought it ruined it so waited until I was strong enough to do the meat way. Was a long fucking wait! It didn't seem much harder than Pit of Hell either so couldn't see the point.

Post by: a dense loner on March 12, 2015, 07:45:26 pm
To be fair Micky did the left finish after doing the right. He said the right was one hard ish shit move and the left was a fair few great sloper moves that were tricky but not as hard. Dai built a replica of the left finish and it took him 3 trips, so not too easy. It's had loads of repeats.

 :lol:  Half normal, I'll take that as a compliment :)

I am 5' 10" with no ape index and I was able to reach the lip hold with my heel still cammed in the back of the roof. Its a bit harder for shorties cos you would have to dyno for the lip hold while your heel released from the cam but it would only be a little pop and to be honest you're so stretched out with your foot cammed in above your head the release is pretty violent anyway. Alex Waterhouse did it the shorties way (see this vid). An excellent problem, opinions on the grade vary between 7C and 8A. (I'm taking 8A and running for the hills ;)) Ellis reckons its 8A although others differ. A top problem!

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Kingy on March 17, 2015, 06:00:59 pm
Oh sorry, Sideshow will be utterly desparate for anybody less than 6' 3" I reckon, unfortunately there is an albatross like span at the start but there may be scope for shorter climbers for climbing up into the flat undercut from directly below like in the last problem on my video and then somehow desparately reaching leftwards to the patchy arete, I reckon we are talking in the V11+ ballpark though. Makes VIP look like a path!

Video from today did the terrace, haven't seen any videos of people doing it the way I did with a toe on the aréte as opposed to a heel hook so thought people would be interested in that.

and then also another of just various bits and bobs over the last few weeks, most of it is of overly documented climbs but I did get a video of "short circuit" in Odin's cave, yes that's right, the dark room isn't the only climb in there!

I noticed you'd mentioned this! It was literally the last problem we tried on the trip and we spent so long failing on it- it felt nails but we were completely spent. I'm going to do a Power Club report on the trip (which was as fun as the film suggests) so I'll keep beta there to avoid clogging this thread up.

You can't flash something you've done half the moves on.  :-\
Indeed.  I feel like I'm somehow the old guy now - "back in my day, a flash meant..." 

I'm of the school that if you've done any of the moves, you can't flash it, even the v0 topout on a v10.  Same for sport routes - Linkups can't be flashed if you've done the other route. 

And you certainly can't flash a v13, if you've done a v11 stand start to it.

I reckon if you flashed the standup, and its a recognised pre-existing genuine standup, then subsequently do the sitter first attempt then I'd be happy for anyone to call that a flash.

I disagree.  You did it first go, but not a flash.

A flash IS doing it first go. If you're classing it as first go, by your own admission,  then its a flash

I struggle to understand why there seems to be quite a bit of confusion about it.  A nice clean definition seems like it should be an easy thing. 

Using this:
I reckon if you flashed the standup, and its a recognised pre-existing genuine standup, then subsequently do the sitter first attempt then I'd be happy for anyone to call that a flash.
devalues the flash style of ascent to me.  If someone can go work a v12 stand start until they have it dialed and then add in a few moves of v8/9 at the bottom first go from the bottom, which bump it to v13 and call it a v13 flash, which can also be applied to a true untried v13 flash, then to me the term loses all value. One of those is much more impressive than the other.   

Here's a long debate about it in the US from a couple of months ago. The comments get pretty nasty, but it's not personal.

Post by: abarro81 on May 04, 2015, 11:25:00 pm
You should read Dave's post more carefully - he's saying you could flash the v12, then sit down and do the v13 sitter without having worked any moves and he'd give you the flash. If you work anything then its obviously not even a grey area, it's just cheating.
Interestingly, or not, Ondra used to log these 'grey area onsights/flashes' of, say, routes with shared sections as onsight/flash, until he started getting famous, then switched to logging them as redpoints. It doesn't really matter so long as you make it clear what the score is with what you did. Again, clearly falling off or sitting on a bolt blows any and all routes that go through that section, even in the most dubious books.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Sasquatch on May 04, 2015, 11:31:42 pm
I read it, and my response was not in quite the same vein, but it is the way the world will go, which is why I still disagree.  You have flashed every move, but not in one continuous go, so therefore to me you didn't flash the v13. 

What about problems that have 3 or 4 different starts?  Can you continually flash your way down the problem? 

What about problems that combine a traverse with a straight up?  Can you flash the traverse, flash the straight up and then flash the link up? 

This is why I don't think there should be a grey area.  Maybe I'm being obstinate, but if that's the way we're going, I really see a problem with it, and the term Flash will start to lose all meaning unless you know the details of each ascent personally.   

Also, this has gone far enough it's probably worth splitting the thread.

Post by: iwasmexican on May 05, 2015, 08:40:40 am
is it not as simple as "as soon as you leave the ground/ un-weight the rope on any part of a problem/ route, stand, link-up sit start etc... , no matter how trivial, that is your flash go until you fall or reach the top" and this is the only one you get for any route/ problem that uses that section of rock?

So then, someone does High Flyer E4 at stanage end first go - does that then invalidate their subsequent flash of Low Rider?

Or, someone flashed Ron Side Story and jumped off at the break - does this then mean they can't flash WSS?

I'm pretty sure I've made my Flash definition very clear.  If you climb someplace with a ton of linkups, variations,  eliminates, then you're going to struggle to "flash" anything by my definition, but that's the way it goes. 

I don't know the routes in Question Dave, so I can't speak to them.  My personal stance is simple.

Post by: Fiend on May 07, 2015, 11:49:25 am
P.S. As regards the strict definitions, there is a danger of it becoming all a bit UKC "If I downclimb to the ground is it still an onsight? No? Oh, okay, what if I downclimb to a ledge that's 6 inches above the ground, is that okay? What if I get my partner to pass me a different pair of shoes and change them on the ledge? Do I still get the grade?" - yes there are some strict definitions but they are not always sensible nor useful, there are always grey areas. What if you do a V0 and then "flash" the V12 sitter to it? Does prior knowledge of the V0 make any difference? Does it provide any useful information to the V12 flasher? If not, where do you change the boundary? V2 then V10 sitter? V4 then V8? Grey areas. I always say it's about the spirit of the law not the letter of the law....and give respect and credit to anyone trying to do things in a good/better style.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Stubbs on May 07, 2015, 11:52:58 am
I think it's a very simple but harsh line, in your example if you want to flash the 8a+ you shouldn't climb the stand first.

Keep it strict avoids grey areas. Was a bit bemused when James P claimed to flash Point Blank when he'd done the first half of the route before. It's harsh but that's the way it is.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on May 07, 2015, 12:34:07 pm
I was a bit impressed that James flashed / claimed to flash / whatfuckingever Point Blank, regardless of him doing an easier section as part of another route, because it shows a laudable attempt to improve ethics (in an area when people are still dicking around not even trying to flash much easier routes).

Anyway would love to continue this discussion but I'm off to buy a bulk lot of Tippex and wreck my climbing logbooks. The Swan? Nope already did the start as part of Pebbledash. Appaloosa Sunset? Nope already did the start as part of Rubberneck. The Sloth? Nope already did Pedestal Route. Flash of The Crack Direct at Bowderstone? Nope already did The Crack and it shares the same finishing holds and I got the game-changing knowledge that the big fucking slanting crack at the top you can see is a big fucking slanting crack from the ground is indeed a big fucking slanting crack....actually it was years inbetween my ascents and I could remember precisely fuck all about The Crack apart from cutting loose on a fist jam nowhere near the shared finish, but well we're being STRICT here....

Think Panton and Katz were also there. Nige was there too - I remember him walking round to a problem and falling about 10ft even though he was already stood on the ground, that's how shit a venue it was. If the welsh boys have walked an hour up a mountain to a venue and they don't pull on you know its bad. I seem to remember Jordan with his irrepressable physche levels was the only one to pull on.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Nibile on May 29, 2015, 08:32:00 am
Hey Luke!
Many caveats.
First of all, that video is truly horrible. I had to use a crap editor and the result was crappy. I'll remove it soon, but I wanted to show the climbing, which is on the other hand very good.
With respect to the problem, it's filmed in two halves, with the crux being the move with the right hand switch into an undercling. When I grunt, exactly. Getting the undercling was hard, and getting it right for the reach to the pinch a lot harder. In the video I skip all the adjusting that I needed on the redpoint to get the undercling right. So it seems that I do it easily, but I can assure I was pulling like there was no tomorrow.
Then, dry holds and cool wind make a big difference.
The grade is tentative and a provocation for a few people I know that are behaving in a silly way. It's a harder start to an 8a on the right that I did in one session years ago and repeated the day I did my project, at the end of the day: this variation took me three years, on and off...
This is just to thank you for your compliment, but don't believe the hype. The moves are super cool, as everything with hard underclings, but it's still a shitty variation, it's morpho, has a bad landing, it's an eliminate and has the most painful rock ever. Has just the fascination and appeal of being hard.

Two from a wet Wales. Pleased to get Bombshell done as on first acquaintance it seemed I wouldn't be able to do the move to the lip, nor the crux span from the back, and even if I hyopthetically did, I would need more pads and spotters given the weird landing. A bit of dicking around later and I had it all worked out.

What a shit sound track though. It's completely tasteless.  :shit:

Also, the second comment on vimeo, makes me think someone was hoping to release the footage as part of something else...
Horrible music  :agree:
 Significant repeat though. Lots of people carried lots of pads for Nalle to do it. It must require a fair bit of commitment.

I fell off the problem just to the left of the pinch (50 sec mark) a few years back and fucked my ankle, the pad sunk between a very small lump and trapped my foot and I went over on it. There was an american woman pointing at my ankle  and saying 'is it normally that shape'

Post by: Sidehaas on October 15, 2015, 12:45:12 pm
For what its worth I'm pretty sure where you finished (I was the guy in the background in the green trousers!) is correct, ie on the flake.  Neil just confused the video-watchers a bit by talking about the crimp (which is on the flake - he wasn't talking about the crimp people will remember to the left, or in the roof).
Unless the original finish did go over the roof, then there is nowhere further to go (and if there was it would be easy anyway, as you could do chin-ups off the holds on that flake, they are massive in opposition).
I like to think of it as a shield more than a flake.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on October 15, 2015, 12:53:42 pm
Unless the original finish did go over the roof,

Originally it will have topped out. But these days as a boulder problem everyone I've ever seen on it (bar I think one person, with a stack of pads) finished on the flake/crimp.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: T_B on October 15, 2015, 01:44:23 pm
IIRC it's not really a fall-offable move to reach up from the flake to the dirty hold in the wall above (which used to be cleaner). Whereas you can fall off matching the flake + crimp and when you do match them it feels like a more natural finishing point to me.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: mrjonathanr on October 15, 2015, 09:25:16 pm
George's finish is the correct one IMO, ie a move past the flake.

That block at Snowden really is good if you're operating in the mid-6 / 7 range, still haven't really explored that much of the other stuff too. It was really warm / midgey a few weeks back when that was filmed but I'm assuming it'll be coming back into better nick now or soonish.

As this is the non quality bouldering thread I am going to lower the standard with some videos from a friend... they are unedited straight from a phone propped up in a shoe so portrait filming at poor angles. What the videos do show though are some problems from South Wales (around Cardigan) that people maybe interested in seeing as there is not much information about bouldering in this part of the world.

A quick tip for the gropro folks.  Most people(boulderers especially, but sporties for stick clips too) these have extendable painter pole stick brushes.  If instead of taping your brush to it and cut off a paint roller near the handle and you have a n easily removeable brush.  This allows you to  screw on tripod mount(like this: http://www.amazon.com/ProPole-Painters-Adapter-Camera-Monopod/dp/B00EVWS1JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449512542&sr=8-1&keywords=painters+pole+camera+mount (http://www.amazon.com/ProPole-Painters-Adapter-Camera-Monopod/dp/B00EVWS1JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449512542&sr=8-1&keywords=painters+pole+camera+mount).  This turns your stick into a monopod. 

The monopod is easy to set up just about anywhere.  and with a gorpo it is light enough to do alot of different options as the leverage is easy to work with.  Stick it in the ground, lean it against something etc.  It's also easy to set up on top for other angles due to the length of the pole.

I just use an actual tripod. Started out with just a small gorilla pod but recently upgraded.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Sasquatch on December 08, 2015, 08:21:07 pm
I did that for a while, but its too much extra weight.  Might seem a bit odd, but the approaches I do now are generally in the 20-60 minute range and I'm always carrying 2-3 pads, cleaning kit, along with all my other shit.  I was doing the tripod/dslr thing, but its too damn much weight.  So I picked up a gopro, and the stick attachment, so now the camera is small and minimal weight, but still high quality, and good setup. 

If I had shorter approaches, I might go back to the tripod.  I have a home built crane and slider too, but they're just too much to carry. 

Quite literally I had to have the backpack straps on my main pad reinforced...
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: JackAus on December 09, 2015, 04:10:51 am
Ah yeah that makes alot of sense. My tripod fits into my big pad (along with start pad) and I usually carry another.


Also, my approaches are usually not more than 10 minutes... Haha...

Tripod needn't weigh much. Either cough up for a carbon fibre one, or just about any small pisscheap aluminium one with a crapy builtin plastic head will do the job and weigh fuckall.

What Dave said. After getting frustrated with limitations on angles using my old Gorillapod I just went for a cheapo £20 job from Argos, did the job fine and (I hope) significantly improved the stuff I was able to capture.


That said, it's knacked (one of the little rivets that holds the mechanism in place sheared off) but I think that may be my fault chucking my pad around with it inside!

A quick tip for the gropro folks.  Most people(boulderers especially, but sporties for stick clips too) these have extendable painter pole stick brushes.  If instead of taping your brush to it and cut off a paint roller near the handle and you have a n easily removeable brush.  This allows you to  screw on tripod mount(like this: http://www.amazon.com/ProPole-Painters-Adapter-Camera-Monopod/dp/B00EVWS1JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449512542&sr=8-1&keywords=painters+pole+camera+mount (http://www.amazon.com/ProPole-Painters-Adapter-Camera-Monopod/dp/B00EVWS1JK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449512542&sr=8-1&keywords=painters+pole+camera+mount).  This turns your stick into a monopod.

Two problems with this in the UK- most climbers here don't use a painter's pole (99% of sport climbers have one of these (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=beta+stick&safe=strict&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwijueSfwM7JAhUHQBQKHQFdA90Q_AUICCgC&biw=1437&bih=855#imgrc=LmX67TFBj8xrBM%3A), boulderers generaly have a more Heath Robinson brush-on-a-stick setup) and those thread adapters are impossible to source domestically. Wad point waiting for anyone who can prove me wrong about the adapter.

A better solution would be to epoxy a 1/4" BSW threaded nut (standard camera tripod thread) onto the bottom of any brush, then instead of a brushstick you buy a cheap monopod, screw camera on for video, screw the brush on for brushing duties, bingo.

Is that French for finger tape or duct tape?

I've wrapped the gorilla pod legs in a downward spiral around the top of the brush on a stick (so the threaded part is on top) in the past and rammed the stick into the ground. This only worked well for filming the bitch, since all other things I've done have had firmer ground conditions. I Really need to get a lightweight tripod.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on December 10, 2015, 09:00:29 am
An ultrapod would be great for this. I've used it closed up and the velcro strap taking photos with an SLR and it's rock solid.

See little pics on the left. Better than gorillapods IMO.

Yeah I've got one of these. Rarely use it but when I have it's been great for velcroing to a brush stick for an impromptu monopod. By virtue of the rigid legs and the positive closure of the strap they feel pretty solid. Never been tempted by the gorillapods.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on December 10, 2015, 10:38:41 am
I think it's a better system. The legs on the gorillapod never seem to clamp down that well (especially on mine, where the end of one leg fell off and floated down the Spey).

On another note, here is a video a friend of mine put together about climbing walls etc around Bristol. I'm in it a fair bit and we scoped out a lot of the spots together, its been really good fun to do. There are also some great problems (lots  climb a lot better than they look). It's been filmed on and off over the last two summers.

Duma and Guy Percival also feature (along with a cast of others)

I think the first time I ever climbed was at Markfield too, it was nice to go back. To the right of the main slab is this steep little wall. The L>R diagonal is 7B/+ and the sitter to Little Lilly is 8A, details are on UKC I think.
The second problem is at Windmill Hill which is described on http://www.leicestershireclimbs.co.uk/ and Orrin Coley has a video showing a couple of good looking eliminates

Something about Swiss I reckon, Helvete must mean swiss or swiss person? The devil is swiss, the Swiss devil, or some wordplay along those lines?

Edit - according to Google Translate "Satan i Helvete" is swedish for "Satan in Hell", so I'm guessing it's that combined with some form of wordplay or association as per the above.

There's a discussion on the origin of the name on bleau.info (https://bleau.info/longsvaux/2236.html) click on the English discussion at the bottom of the page. Too long to post it all here.

example:
Quote
It's swearing - fitte (19-04-2004 19:35)
"Satan i helvete" is good old norwegian swearing and is equivalent to the english "Fuckin hell" expression. Inspired by norwegian climber (that swears a lot) Morten F. I've heard...

It's the flake that gets used for the left foot in the rockover move after you get the pocket on Fata Morgana. I don't think it makes much difference for Fata Morgana but isn't much use for Satan Helvete, its a kind of flat edge now, not as positive. I only know this because I was there when Jan Holjer pulled it off! I'm still stuck on the first move of Fata Morgana! I'll worry about the new hold if I ever get that far!

“Satan i helvete” is a very common curse in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish (spelled “helvede” in Danish). It literarily means “Satan in hell” but idiomatically I would probably translate it as “fucking shit”. (In north germanic languages diabolic words form the core of swearing even if words of anatomical nature has just started to come back after being out of fashion for swearing for a few centuries. At least among the continental Scandinavian languages, I don't know about swearing in the Insular ones)

Thanks guys.

Yeah that so-called 6C is definitely a sandbag, harder than anything else I tried!! I reckon it would go but I gave up working things too long. Cool problem though.

Tommy - hah!! These days it's a very thin sock + even thinner compression stocking combo, the stockings are slick enough that I get on tighter shoes with them, even allowing for the 0.25mm of extra material. Dragons are nice for short stuff, still prefer Browns for general support and routes.

Johnr - I don't think I've ever heard any Robert Plant, not deliberately anyway??

Its not my favourite venue. The heel hook on Hunter's roof has taken the heel off two pairs of climbing shoes, such that I don't think its worth going back to. The stuff in the woods is slightly less skin intensive.

This is quality. It's sadly not too far fetched; I'm guessing it's based on someone he's met. (If he was in Leeds he'd say he'd done Zoo York using some of these techniques whilst no one was looking :worms: )
I'm disappointed that he doesn't have a sly Stallone bolt-gun segment.

Really good vid that beastly squirrel, as opposed to kingy on hatchlife! We should have a terrible vids thread for stuff like that! Was that Tim with the camera in shot? Sack him! :'(

Trojan war looks great, like an easy version of mossatrocity ;D Where is monaco assis? Looks good as well, as do most things in font :slap:

I know what you mean dense about the hatchlife video. I think it could have been very good like the rest of dan's videos but if your going to use that...i want to say resolution? on your video i think you need a steady cam. it just gave me a headache whilst watching it due to the shakiness .

P.S good effort ted on doing hatch and 36 chambers sit ion the same day. :)

Sorry folks if you got headaches watching the Hatchatrocity vid, it looks OK on my monitor but its not a very high res one, I take responsibility for that as I was rehashing on Moviemaker footage send to me and didn't know the appropriate res settings etc. normally I just use my own camera's footage which seems fairly idiot proof  :yes:

I think what annoyed me the most was trying to suggest the trip was somehow 'green' by taking a boat and then driving as little as possible.

First of all shipping has a whole host on environmental effects. And is in now way 'green'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_shipping

Then they drove 20,000km (a typical annual mileage for many people)!

Just admit that is a luxury being able to travel halfway around the world, don't try to justify it. If you want to really be green, go to the local crag and put up some eliminates.

two weeks in Font and all I have to show for it is a video of a fat bloke doing the arete only (for hands) eliminate of red 16 at 95.2

it's a very good eliminate for anyone looking for a quick drying, safe landing, top end 5+ or low 6A, skin friendly pootle that is all about the feet

I did the sitter, but that just added some brute force to an otherwise nice bit of balancing

Yeah, downhill from the road. No issues it seems, but it is on private land, so low profile etc. Apparently the thing covered in a metal sheet is a spring for the farm below, so it's a good idea not to wee nearby! Perhaps best to park at Wycoller car park and walk from there.

Here's my own distinctly non-quality offering; first time editing a video together so feeedback would be welcome  :)

It's highlights from the varsity bouldering competition between Hallam and University of Sheffield this year; unfortuantely Tara Hayes and Billy Ridal chose to compete in Switzerland otherwise they would have been in it.

That looks very good. Is there much more or is that basically it?

Not loads more. There are a few more problems on the boulders in the vid, but those are the lines that stood out/weren't too scary to try on my own with only two pads. There are also a fair few smaller undercut boulders with sitstarts and traverses which I didn't get round to trying. Enough for a fun session, but definitely a minor venue. A few of the problems were a bit scrittly, though the 7B was fine.

Funny problem flakes. It seems to be quite overlooked, despite having pretty nice climbing. Robbie (the climber in the video) thinks it is very stiff at 7a, much more like a 7a+ and maybe even a hard one at that. But maybe we're missing some beta (or a hold broken), since it's very hard to find any information on it.

I find the move to gain the high flake really awkward, with the sort inside out undercut. Robbie makes it look really easy in the video.

More people should have a crack at it since it's an overlooked problem on the wimberry circuit.

A lot of holds broke on that over the years, and that's going back 10 years ago. I didn't use to do it much at all despite climbing there loads cos it felt terrifying pulling on the holds!

Finally got round to checking out this little collection of boulders not far from Wycoller. The big 7B arete is a forgotten classic, and the other lines are decent too.

https://vimeo.com/163268087

That's the opposite side of the valley to some boulders I looked at years ago.  They were on YG.com, with one good 7b dynamic wall.  Around here (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/53%C2%B050'59.2%22N+2%C2%B002'47.8%22W/@53.8497901,-2.047344,18.58z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0) somewhere (switch to Google Earth view) and can't remember the name.  I think there may well be more to go at in that area.

Makes sense, there a quite a few scars on that problem and you can see when Robbie's climbing the foot hold is pretty scrittly. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the flakes pulls off at some point. Which would be a shame as it climbs well (as far as i can get anyway). I think with a good spot your alright, but it certainly doesn't inspire much confidence.

Nice one Jack. Looks like a great journey and one that you must be glad is over! I admire you for going ground up.

I'm interested in the logistics. How many attempts do you get in a session? Is the limiting factor a physical one (you get too tired for more attempts) or do you just run out of dry rockshoes? Is this close to where you live? And is that close in a way that I would consider close (my local crag is a 7 minute drive from the house. There is one a 2 minute drive away but its crap)?
Did you ever struggle to get people to go out with you? Is there much else at the crag to keep them busy while you're on a project? Did you have any trips there on your own? Did anybody else try your project and how did this make you feel? How would you have felt if they'd done it?

And finally, did you ever try using a foothold closer in towards you? I don't even know if there's a foothold there but the whole time I was watching you fail my brain was screaming, "bring your toe in closer to you and you'll piss it"! On that note, did it take you long to find the right sequence or is it fairly obvious? If number of goes in a session are limited it can be really hard to force yourself to try something else.

Sorry for the barrage of questions.

Questions! So many questions!

Usually up to 4 attempts. Shoes and skin are the limiting factors. Did only have 4 pairs for dws, now 5.
The wall stays in the shade until about noon, so early morning summer sessions were the way forward. Shoes don't like to dry out enough in the shade... More attempts were usually early days, working out moves, in arvos. More time for shoes to dry.
And skin, the intermediate crimp on the face is pretty small and the constant 'being wet' thing doesn't help. Obviously drying off properly and resting but skin would be a lot softer after an attempt or 2. Have to pull pretty hard on that crimp, it likes to take my index and middle tips away. That's all that fits on it.
Don't get that tired on it until the crux really. Probably because I've done the lower moves so many times.

I used to live 20-30min away. That's pretty close. Now I live 3hrs away.
I get on it sporadically because I visit my parents and then try it every morning while I'm there.

Haha 90% of it was by myself.
Winter is Nowra season here so hardly any climbers around in summer.
There is plenty there now, about 25 lines. Mainly smaller stuff on a 5-6m wall next door. This is far and away the hardest line so far.
Popular jumping spot and a couple of rope swings, beach on other side of the river. Gets pretty busy in summer school holidays with boats, skiers/wakeboarders.
www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/nowra/area/351405501 (http://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/nowra/area/351405501)

A few other people tried it. Generally they didn't really have a shot at doing it though. I didn't mind taking people there because they often took one look at it and said Nope! Too scary.
Had a mate try it with me first 2 seasons then he got busy with new family. He actually got the break a couple weeks before I did but then couldn't match it.
I'd heard a few people had tried the line over the years but no one getting close. It sort of became known that I was pretty close to it so everyone just let me get on with it.
Tbh I would've felt like shit if someone did it first really. Happy for them but shit for me.

Ha. That footer just doesn't work. It's too close in and makes you too bunched to take the intermediate. And then totally wrong spot for the bump. The wide foot is in a good spot, means you can really rock onto it and crank hard on the left hand.

(http://i.imgur.com/c1eVEe8.png)

I think day 1 I had made it out of the roof but hadn't worked out the crux at all. Looking back at videos, I'd worked out the crux sequence on 30/12/13 thanks to mate abbing in and finding the face crimp. Think this was maybe 10 sessions in. Took a few more to be at the point of attempting the move but still...

Did I miss any?

Robins originally gave Snapdragon 8A and I thought the same. Top end 8A but it didn't feel as hard as Caseg Groove sitter or Paper Birds to me. The Tracks felt the same difficulty as Stoned Temple Pilots to me which gets 8A. Swings and roundabouts I guess, I know a lot of people find Temple Pilots easier for the grade and Robins and Ducko both thought 7C+ but it felt tricky to me.

You dont have to defend your tallness, it's something to embrace David.  Guess I mean is there another way other than having your right foot up. Googling it I came up with the news item on nwb. Maybe an alternative sequence there

I thought the tracks harder than STP. Just plenty of range within a grade I suppose and adding to that everyone has different dimensions sometimes helping or hindering him or her on certain things.

From those pictures it's looks like Pete is in the same position as Ducko and me but am sure someone mentioned about him using a left heel on the starting left hand hold. Not sure if that's just a rumour but sounded nails to me!

I thought STP was as difficult as The Tracks but I think STP is pretty bunched for the taller fellow and all the taller people I know that have tried it found it tricky. I can also imagine being taller helps for The Tracks.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: turnipturned on April 24, 2016, 03:47:35 pm
After doing the tracks a few times I recon it's probably 8a. Recon the sit moves are probably harder than the top.

I thought STP was 8a as well. That crimp is minging.

Snapdragon looks amazing, nice one folks

If you're short you match the intermediate sloper then drop L hand down to sidepull at base of roof, maybe put heel on next to L hand and then go to crack/lip hold. This is how Pete did FA too. I could reach it all but fell off cause it was too hard.

It is mega.

Post by: ducko on April 25, 2016, 09:17:07 am
Pete does the first move into the lip then puts left heel on the pinch your left hand starts on then does the same hand sequence with the exception of leaving the heel on I found this beta made the move into the corner harder as the heel popped of a fair bit

Is it just me that finds the 6b mantel problem thing at the end (assuming arete is not in condition) of yoghurt hypnotist harder than the main part of the problem?

Oh lordy. Heels, knees - that sequence is just filth. The heel out left does look like a great way to do it.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on May 05, 2016, 01:01:12 pm
Even though the concept of what passes for a "line" at that crag is paper thin I reckon that heel is surely a no-no.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: r-man on May 05, 2016, 01:03:00 pm
I guess if you use the jug for your feet, why not for your hands - and then you'd be going up the 6C. Mind you, I thought it was 7C to finish up the 6C anyway, so perhaps it doesn't make much difference just sticking a heel on that hold.

That isn't the original either, since it topped out within the scoop rather than slapping back left.

The original was a total sandbag though, since the end was harder than the end of El Paso due to topping out from the bad holds one move short of the jug

What the geezer did in that video, claiming 7a I've no idea. There supposedly is a 7a at that end, but we couldn't find anything hard enough that wouldn't have been an eliminate.

We ended up climbing in between the two cracks not using either for hands, only the thin slopers. Felt desperate, but wasn't anything like the original line. Old geezer there said what we did is what most people now do, doing it as a directed line/ eliminate.

I haven't been able to find a video of the original and when I tried it I couldn't do it so reached right to to El Paso instead :)

I did it as per the video, which felt the most natural / 7Bish way.

I also remember flashing the '7A' and thinking that it felt quite a lot easier than some other 7As that I've done in Font.

The vid Dave posted and that I quoted. The Climbing Beta / House video version is where the 7A line in the guide goes, but it's easier than 7A.

One from yesterday. The rock and moves on this are superb. I think it's one of the best things I have done in the UK.

Nice one Dave
Has anyone short tried this. I'm stumped  by the move  at 40 seconds? Cant keep right right foot on and get the base of the crack.....😖

How short is short? Craig isn't tall but did it basically the same way.

https://vimeo.com/157199370

Lovely video guys.
You dont have to defend your tallness, it's something to embrace David.  Guess I mean is there another way other than having your right foot up. Googling it I came up with the news item on nwb. Maybe an alternative sequence there
http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=639

I should head back fresh to be honest, only tried it after being on harder things in the Pass, plus it was seeping, add to that my fear of open water and hill walkers and I was definitely handicapped.....

Barrans does it here:

Pretty impressed with the bouldering around Perth. This is one of the local classics, Thin Grin V10, it's the hardest I've tried on a boulder problem for quite some time, well worth the effort, it's a great problem.

Been climbing loads since arriving in Perth, there's a really good scene, I've been enjoying some good sessions down the wall and getting out when I can. I've hardly done any fishing!  :o

Depends what you mean by "compared to the rest of Oz". Sydney has a lot of good local stuff, but on the other hand near Melbourne it's pretty esoteric. Perth has some cool areas and a few standout problems. Melbourne locals tend to drive 4hours to the Gramps on the weekend. Perth locals don't have that, but Margaret River is a great weekend option with beautiful coastal bouldering on top quality granite, with no crowds and pretty reliable weather. There are several areas, which I guess must add up to at least a few hundred problems, possibly more. Can be hard to find info though - there is no guidebook.

Loads of stuff like this...

I think a lot of places are pretty shit when compared to Australia's more popular climbing areas.

There really are some cracking boulders and problems around Perth, it just requires a little more effort to get the info and get out there, but I think that adds to it tbh. Some of the stuff I have looked at would be 3 star, no matter where it was. I'm planning on getting out a bit more before the weather warms up, I'll try and get some more footage of the good stuff.

Not posted before but a long time stalker...  :whistle: :wave:
Since Dave Sutcliffe and co went up over the winter Paul Clarke and few others have been slowly recording the bouldering up at Ash Head. We've put a small edit together of some of the newer problems. Its a really good venue with just the right ingredients; great quality rock, just enough features, engaging(?) height and flat landings. And 25 min from the roundhill carpark! Hope this tempts a few people up. We're all punting around at 6a-7a but there are definitely some harder things still to go at up there.

Cheers! Alex

there is a small amount to the left but most is to the right. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2jn5uHgAp7iYnNjd2RtWHFEcXc/view?pref=2&pli=1 Robbie has made a very good guide (that I guess needs updating again now).
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on August 12, 2016, 10:48:54 am
I think there's been a landslide too, so some boulders and the approach may be affected. If you have a surfboard take it up with you if you head that way. Oldshoremore and Balnakiel Bay at Durness produce great waves. As does Sandwood Bay if you are prepared to walk!
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: gardinrm on August 12, 2016, 11:25:31 am
We investigated the landslide. A few blocks are now unclimbable, but not too many. All the climbing in this video is further north than the beach (to the right). We once walked round the headland to the left, all the way to Oldshoremore beach. There is stuff there, but further north is better in my opinion.

What is more amazing than the landslide is the winter storms. A couple massive blocks have been moved, or simply disappeared, since last time I was there. The climbing here is changeable for sure, but that adds to the allure for me. Hope you get to use the guide (and yes, it needs updating, but i can't face typesetting for a while).
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: SA Chris on August 12, 2016, 11:38:10 am
You would have got to Polin beach first surely? Yes, we explored round to the left from the campsite a few years back too, as there are a few routes described in NHN, but nothing looked too inspiring. There is some OK bouldering on Polin beach, fine for a half hour play if there with family. Polin Geo has some good routes in the lower grades. There is a big slab between Polin Geo and Oldshoremore, which is of perfect rock, but very easy angle, great for kids (I soloed it in sandals).
on the cliff edge just south of OSM beach is a great mix of sea level traversing / DWS / bouldering / microroutes and is great to explore in calm seas.

Unfortunately there isn't anything, and I don't think anything is possible. There is a brilliant V9 just to the left of the prow, another 3 star problem, but it feels more like V11! Had a session on it yesterday and I'm keen to get back.

Are you in Perth for the foreseeable future then Will? Got loads of mates based there, but they are mostly ex-climbers; seem to spend most of their time cycling and doing triathlons or being dragged face first through the water by large sails aka learning kitesurfing.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: slackline on August 16, 2016, 10:07:56 am
Thats probably because there is very little climbing in/around Perth as its on a coastal flood plane.

The boulders are ok, but each area I visited seemed quite small and they're very spread out along the Darling Scarp.  Theres a few scrappy granite quarries for routes around Perth, but the nearest decent climbing was in  Margaret River 3.5hrs drive away (great for food and wine down there too).  I also visited Mt Frankland (five hrs drive south) and Kalbarri (7hrs drive north) whilst living out there.  Albany looked food for sea-cliffs but never made it down.


Get out to Spring in the Valley when the vineyards all have parties, good fun day.

I think we will be here for at least two years. Helen's fellowship at the hospital runs until July 17 but we're on a four year visa. We're hoping to stay for a while.

There might not be a lot of route climbing around Perth but there is a lot of bouldering, and it's good bouldering as well. There are a number of different areas all within an hours drive from central Perth, and areas like Kalamunda, Winjan and Mt Randall are quite large, with a variety of grades up to V12.

Some of the problems I've seen/tried at Winjan and Kamikaze areas are 3***, there's a problem that was put up by Alan Pryce, it's called Body Swerve (V12) and it is without doubt one of the best looking problems I have seen, anywhere. I'm hoping to have a session or two on it before the summer arrives so I will try and get some footage/pics.

As well as the outdoor stuff there's a good wall scene, some strong folk knocking about.

But instead of admitting he is lucky and enjoying it, he is trying to claim it is all in the name of an enviromental goal. This type of lifestyle is completely and utterly unfeasible for the vast majority of people. In fact i've seen arguments that suggest we should all be living in big cities since this is the most efficient way to provide everyone with their needs.

Managed to bag another one of the local projects. A line of small crimps leading up a beautiful granite wall, the video doesn't really do it justice. It would probably have looked a bit better if I'd have worn a brighter t-shirt eh  ;)

Vid from one of the Lancs locals. Bull Stones is a fantastic spot right in the middle of Bowland. A kilometre stretch of small buttresses and craglets. This place is brilliant for a big day out in a beautiful spot, with oodles of lower grade stuff (better than Thorn for the lower grades). There are a few good 7's as well. 1 hour easy walk-in puts most people off, but it's well worth it.

An ultrapod would be great for this. I've used it closed up and the velcro strap taking photos with an SLR and it's rock solid.

Yeah I've got one of these. Rarely use it but when I have it's been great for velcroing to a brush stick for an impromptu monopod. By virtue of the rigid legs and the positive closure of the strap they feel pretty solid. Never been tempted by the gorillapods.

Just found out after attaching one to a SUP Paddle that the screw tightener on the ball joint seizes solid after being exposed to seawater. Bugger. Will try WD40 on it.

Hey Ducko - well done finding this bloc...its pretty impressive eh?

Friends and I climbed the stuff on the first face about a decade ago but the steeper stuff was not touched. Looking forward to seeing what else you manage there.

Granite around Canberra and sandstone elsewhere.
Theres also granite West of the Blue Mts (Tarana) and limestone at Bungonia (in between Sydney and Canberra). Not too bad. All really accessible too, no 4wd needed and nothing in the vid is more than a 10min walk in. Didn't have time for long walk ins! haha

Best climbing vid ever? So the recipe for the perfect climbing film isn't slo-mo, drone footage and earnest voice-overs about freedom of the soul and self-expression while getting a over-caffeinated sugary drink company logo in shot; turns out all that's required is a slightly chubby bloke trying hard and failing on a grade 7 6 while losing it, curling into a foetus and shouting fucking die  :clap2:

well, not really.
but this problem is 4-5 stars in its niche: 7 meters long, glory handjams all the way, the ground is close so you can't swing but not close enough to make it feel ackward (unless you use a thick pad or have very long arms).

warning: prone to seepage, dries slowly, long walk in...but has a few very good non seeping non crack problems, 7a to 8a, 20 meters away.

well, if you tought of 7 metres of continuous yellow camalot crack with perfectly parallel walls, thats not it! it's mostly red camalot sized, sometimes greenish, with larger flared pods. For me the cruxes were the matches at 0:30 and 1:10, in both cases the jams are ackward or difficult to hit perfectly.

maybe it will be easier for a girl???


It could maybe be v6/8 in the US? It is really hard to give it am "international" grade as the only "handjams in a horizontal roof" comparisons i can make are two routes in the 5.12/euro7b range: separate reality and legoland.
Climbing this, withouth the hassle of protection, is noticeably harder than leading either route...


bottom line: let's call it a soft 7c in the "font crack climbing" scale, with lueur d'espoir being the proper/hard 7c. That is more or less accurate.  ;)

proper treat for you all here

Ilkley Quarry Right Walls again - traverse from the bottom of Short Circuit to Earwig Rib (6A) followed by the warm-up traverse (4)

managed a decent vegetation dab and bollocksed up the sequence when I was distracted by how cold my hands were in the biting wind

I'm inspired. How many pads do you need - looks like he has a bunch. Def looks like Pigott's Stride direct start, the crux of which is probably the stride so you would be looking at a Severe top out...

I'm racking my brains back a decade or more but don't you finish Piggot's up that awkward polished MVS crack (Whiskey Crack?). I think I'd traverse off.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: webbo on November 10, 2016, 12:47:37 pm
Piggotts Stride finishes at the ledge, you can choose whatever finish you want from there. But what TomTom is questioning is when he gets the break, he swings right and looks like he descends V Chimmey instead of doing Piggotts Stride. Which goes straight up from the break to the ledge.
It was done pre 1923. It used to be severe, it's now VS. How hard can it be. :whistle:

No, that's really a weak comparison dave. Back around. :)

A better one would be "like asking if someone on West Side Story has to top out" :p

Anyway, I'm always happy to jump off a problem sparing some horrific shitty top out experience so don't mind me. Was just wondering what was above it - as going straight up after would seem like a nice thing to do... Its been a while since I scrittled about at that bit of the Cliff, so was having problems visualising above it.

No it isn't. Body Machine is neither trivial nor does it go to the top.

Pretty sure every previous vid I've seen has shown a top out. Not suggesting it doesn't count but it wouldn't be my choice.

Piggotts Stride finishes at the ledge, you can choose whatever finish you want from there.

I haven't been on that ledge for a few years so I may be wrong, but I don't recall there being a walk off. So you'd have to solo up to the top of low man (or perhaps worse downclimb square chimney :'( )?

If this is the case I'd much rather traverse off than get stuck on a ledge. It's reasonably high up

http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=70387

Although it would be rather amusing to watch someone climb an 8A and then get rescued off a HS (Whisky Crack).
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Footwork on November 10, 2016, 01:38:23 pm
You could traverse off left finishing Low Man traverse (s) which is really just pleasant walking.


Not sure how many pads you need but I think it looks worse than it actually is. Has anyone ever hit the slab falling off?

Tim was being... Tim.

I had four pads which was fine, a pad on the slab behind is worth doing just in case a dry fire.

Ben, I would have a good flash go. A gentle stroll compared to something like Lanny.

Here goes nothing...... I am toying with the idea of making some VLOG's. I made a few videos over the years, but feel there are pretty infrequent and in my day to day life harness my creativeness, so I am testing out a VLOG to see how it goes.

Anyway, here is my first attempt. It was meant to be a VLOG about my seemlessly never ending battle with Voyager Low start, but in true British fashion it rained, so just had a big session at the school. I managed to do Perky Pinky 8B (on the video) and filmed a load of James Nobles harder problems on the board. I would appreciate any comments as this is very much testing the water.

Hi Dan, effort on pinky perky, what's the blog about? Loads of potential to be creative with your climbing and filmmaking talent there dude. I always think there's more to 'making meaning' than just the direct subject matter or surface 'style'. Use of light as a metaphor for example. There's a great book called cinematography: theory and practice, really interesting chapters on writing with motion, use of metaphor and visual storytelling. Some great inspiration if you're into that stuff. I'd make it really short to. Like 2 minutes of quality or instagram short. Super 8 cartridges are 3 mins long for £50 but force you to make your home movie the best it can be. Be keen to see the next one 👊
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos

Thanks Dan.

Cheers, yeah been following your stuff on Vimeo, I like it and you clearly test out lots of different styles etc. Its good. will check out the book thanks for the suggestion.

I don't know really, just kind of get sick of looking on social media and always see the "good bits' of people's climbing achievements, thought a VLOG might capture some of the struggles and  other aspects of trying to climb hard boulders with a full time job. We will see how it goes, might just be the one haha.

A video diary must be like a self portrait which has artistic (aesthetic) quality and personal authenticity portraying some deeper emotional aspect of the subject. This would set it apart from a factual report or record of climbing success. Some of the portraits and self portraits that I've found most effective convey something about the character of the person through colour, lines, shadow, expression composition etc. Take the same process forward into a vlog (which would be a pretty bold thing to do for anyone) and you'd possibly have something pretty great, or at least get to do something different! Glad you like the vids btw, you and Stubbs make up 2 of my 10 Vimeo followers haha.

Thanks for the feedback guys, appreciated. Bit of a bold move but may as well try these things.

My main feeling from the footage was that I want to be strong like James.

Lets be realistic Barrows  :lol:, that boy is another level. However, I recon you could toe hook or maybe even kneeler the side of the board!!

Good scenes and vibes at the School, top stuff.

+1 to the comments Dan, liked that...in terms of feedback, how about telling us more about how you feel about what you're doing (with Voyager I mean).


Is it an interesting battle of wits you're going through with it, are you still psyched after all these trips, going through a lull etc?


I watch a fair bit of this guy's stuff - he's a young lad who does parkour / urban exploration and I think his vlog-style is pretty good. The video of them getting into the West Ham stadium is a bit crazy.

I really liked it, and would like to see more training footage and musings as well as projecting and stuff outside. Think 5-10mins is a good length for them, instagram length stuff is fine for send footage, but not really long enough to put across any meaningful thought processes. Mint to see send footage of perky pinky, and James doing a bunch 8s on that board in a session is mental. Only minor quibble is the talking to the camera while driving makes me nervous  :shrug:

Hey Dan,

Enjoyed it!
Only comment i would make is your audio levels are very inconsistent. I was constantly adjusting the volume (watching quietly in bed). Some audio is very quiet and some is much louder. Just do some volume normalization and it would be awesome!

Cheers!

Yes with the volume its the range that is the problem. I generally watch this stuff at work; having to turn it up and down constantly as the sot/ nat sound is so quiet compared to the music.

Everyone does it though, its one of my biggest annoyances in climbing films/ most things on the webs.

Nice one Dan.

Not volume related, but is there a reason behind the "Instagramesque" cuts in the ascent footage? It's a pet hate of mine, and since the ascent is only ~20 secs of a 5 min vid, a few more seconds so we could actually see all the moves and rhythm of the climb surely wouldn't impact? I understand when someones shaking out for ages, or is on easy ground near the top, but here it just seemed needless.

(I'm at work so haven't watched with the sound on - perhaps there's music syncing?)

Yo, yes, i wasnt sure what to do but there is a reason and I explained at the end (guess you wouldn't of heard with no sound). I am working with Rowan Spear-Bulmer on a feature film on trying to climb the harder uk blocs (for me), and bloodsport is part of that video, Rowan has spent a lot of time and money coming out filming with me, so it seemed a bit of a kick in the teeth and want to save it for the full video.

I will also be putting out a full unedited raw send footage off all the climbs featured in that video (for the doubters, which I hope there isn't)

Don't worry

Ditto - as someone who's just getting (back) into board climbing it would be good to see some vids on how people approach and structure any training on them. Breaking problems down, realising it will "go", replicating problems or just using it for getting generally stronger, etc.

Enjoyed this VLog too, good work.

Or just don't steal the music in the first place. Would you walk into HMV (if they still exist?) and steal a CD?

Vimeo used to have a library of music which was free to use as long as it's attributed etc. That's gone now but on their page about it is some links to other places you might find some:

Music so far has stipulations like: free to use if you have under 10K subs etc (which I can safely say will happen no time soon). Will check that link out, thanks.

I'd be pretty fucking livid if I found out that a band had used my footage to make a music video, especially if they'd tilted it a bit or mirrored it to stop the site that hosted it detecting that it was mine. I'd be even angrier if there were comments praising them for it or asking them to reveal who they'd ripped it off from.

https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/236022047-Music-Store?flash_digest=76bd90a86d14e072b813f1a4e7e7b52820ec491f (https://help.vimeo.com/hc/en-us/articles/236022047-Music-Store?flash_digest=76bd90a86d14e072b813f1a4e7e7b52820ec491f)




Used to be a brilliant feature that, even allowed you to filter by genre, length etc as well. No idea why they inexplicably canned it but seems a weird decision, especially as its easy of use (for me at least) positively encouraged the use of music that was OK to use on your vids.

They changed their business model, and essentially wanted more money from everyone.  They stopped it around the same time they started flagging copyright music before you uploaded videos, but unlike on Youtube where they offered it up to whoever claimed to hold rights to it to see how they wanted to proceed, they just refuse to put it live.

My beef with music usage online is that it's not proportional, or done in a way that encourages people to do it in a legit way.  As with pretty much everything they do in the digital/new media age, record labels just seem to be digging their heels in and not changing how they operate to reflect how people are using or interacting with music.  For example, the way that some labels when music is flagged on YT allow the videos to be up but they claim the money from monetising the video makes sense to me.  That way, if the video is just some random video someone's put up to show their friends, they pay what would be a proportionate amount for the use it has.  If, however, it goes viral and that person then starts to get millions of views then the label will get a proportionate amount for that.  As it is, all my dealings with licensing music have basically assumed that my little video that I'm trying to get music for is equivalent to some bigger company putting out the next big thing.  I was putting together a video series for a company before - it was only ever going to be very small viewing figures, and wasn't set out to be sold 3rd party or even sell any specific product.  I approached a label, explained the size of video, what the plan was and so on, and the guy  basically told me to fuck off because our music  budget was too small for them.  I don't see why you wouldn't just work out some way of allowing smaller video producers to be able to license them in a mutually beneficial (or even biased in the label's favour) way.  Essentially they appear to be tied to a business model of trying to sell fewer items at a larger margin and make their money that way, rather than sell way more at a lower margin.

Isn't this the exact model that the stock photography industry went for? i.e. "micro stock"? Frankly I would hate to see the music industry go down that route.

Er - I thought the music industry revenue model was turned upside down in the last few years.. in that most groups make feck all from selling downloads/streaming but get their £££ from gigs and touring. The reverse of the old model.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Lurker on February 22, 2017, 11:24:48 pm
But couldn't that also be because their labels aren't making the most of possible new revenue streams?  I know it's not the perfect example, but if you compare the music industry's initial response to music piracy was doing big showpiece courtroom shenanigans, but then started moving towards models like Spotify (hence the 'not the perfect example' thing - I know the amount artists get paid through that sucks, but arguably it's still better than nothing, and also promotes them on a platform where they'll be more likely to be discovered by people who haven't heard their music before).

I'd say it was a different scenario, not least because shooting for stock has always been an absolute clusterfuck.  Essentially you've got a lot of photographers all shooting examples of the same already established ideas/concepts for the most part - with music I'd say it was different in that you've got artists creating an original piece without thinking of a possible end use, that an editor might then happen to want to use.  I guess you could say that stock music libraries are similar to stock photography libraries, but we're not really talking about that, or at least I'm not...

just don't steal the music in the first place.

 :agree:

I'd be pretty fucking livid if I found out that a band had used my footage to make a music video, especially if they'd tilted it a bit or mirrored it to stop the site that hosted it detecting that it was mine. I'd be even angrier if there were comments praising them for it or asking them to reveal who they'd ripped it off from.

I'd think it was bloody brilliant.  But them I'm a rank amateur, and have no financial incentive behind any of it.

Which illustrates the difference between musicians who allow their music to be used by anyone free of charge and those who don't. Looking at your last video it isn't set as having a Creative Commons licence- if you sort that out people will know you're cool with it.

In the sense that my films cost me money to make (the BMC paid me a bit for Stonnis and more for my current project but both were mainly funded by the wages from my full time job) I'm an amateur too.

The overwhelming majority of musicians are the same as us- for most people even having a record deal means you still work a part time job and none of us have recourse to doing much about each other stealing our work if/ when it happens. Playing by the rules of the licensing system is principally a courtesy to your peers.

Slower probably because I am not used to the program, however have used photoshop, indesign etc quite a bit so up to speed with the shortcuts.

I think it offers a lot more than FCP; built in features such as, colour grading, speed ramping, audio and the ability to tie in after affects could be unreal. I don't think I will go back to FCPX to be honest.

There is an earlier news item with directions here:

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=544 (http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=544)

Here are the directions from that:

To reach the crag park as for Creigiau’r Heulog at the lay-by close to the 4450 marker on the pavement. Head steeply up the hill for 100m then contour round rightwards to the obvious clean escarpment.

Basically its a 2 minute drive after you pass the Rest and Be Thankful cafe on the long way round the Orme drive, watch out for the first 2 car layby just after climable crags first appear up on the left

It IS amazing.  Absolute stunner and the climbing is immaculate if you like technical face style.  A fall from the crux is droppable, but def still scary and big.  It would be easy to break an ankle or leg on the fall if you landed wrong. I'm hoping to tick it this spring.

+1 for this. Should be in the quality channel. I've watched it about a dozen times. Even put it on the big telly. It's vying with Isaac's Glory Days and Huffy's Random Bouldering as my personal favourite bouldering video ever. Love the story and the delivery style of the narration.

Anyone know what this problem actually is? Googling blockbuster bouldering is surprisingly unproductive.

More low grade than mid grade, but maybe Starting Blocs?

Just spent a happy spell watching Dan's catalogue; lovely.  Capture both the fun and peculiar sanctity of this, our church, of titting about on rocks.  The archival nature threw up a strange mental image of people in a post-apocalyptic future watching the films using an ailing projector, smiling at the juddering, low-res footage with tears on cheeks, "life was hard then, we had problems, but there was beauty, and we threw it away" (perhaps, whilst Godspeed You Black Emperor's F#A#oo swells and wanes in the background).

Dolly introduced me to the delightful Classic Arete Problem at Burbage South the other week

sorry about the colours here - due to a reluctant camera, poor light and editing on an inadequate laptop - I will go back one day in  nice evening light and do a better job

anyway - I think this is the original problem (I am aware that people climb it staying on the right of the arete as well), but I also enjoyed adding a couple of moves by starting at the the right arete

Interesting. I always do this but have never used that high hold on the face, which makes the swing round quite tricky. Will have to investigate whether you've just lanked it or not.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on April 25, 2017, 10:30:41 am
I've always done it by getting RH on arete after getting LH on that horizontal around the arete, but always find it then desperate and bunched to bring feet around. Never noticed Lagers' high rh hold on the face.

Staying on the right all the way is arguably more logical but obviously neckier.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: lagerstarfish on April 25, 2017, 01:59:57 pm
Dolly managed to do it using the high R hold, but didn't find it easy

it didn't feel hard to me, but I can't downgrade it, because Dolly tried so hard to finally get it after 13 years

I try to lank everything
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Nigel on April 25, 2017, 02:05:36 pm
I was on this a couple of weeks ago, started of doing it the way I'd done it before - using arete to turn corner as Dave describes. Makes turning corner really quite hard and barndoory. The hold on right makes it a fair bit easier and means you can turn the corner in control and place your feet nicely. Its not lanking it as the hold is same level as arete hold as I recall? I've certainly never been accused of lank anyway, except by midgets. Basically its a better sequence.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Bonjoy on April 26, 2017, 12:43:49 pm
From what I recall the grade was based on the sequence Dave describes. Sound's like this is perhaps duff/eliminate so probably it ought to be graded lower for better sequence in next guide.

very cool boulder and backdrop, how long do you get on it before the tide comes back? Is there enough there for a mixed group grade wise? Just moved to not very far away and need a bit of a carrot to get the partner there.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: turnipturned on May 05, 2017, 04:31:43 pm
Yup, loads to go at. There loads of easier things on the other boulders and there pretty much every grade from 6c-8b on the main superbloc. You loose about 4 hrs either side of high tide, but does depend on swell. It's escapable, so you never get caught out and easily just sit it out. Amazing place.

What Turnip said (nice to meet you in passing the other evening btw).
 + All grades are covered from 4+ up on other blocs, the big one above superbloc is non-tidal so you can climb all day if you wish.  Afternoon and evening low tides are the best for things drying out (struggles to dry in the morning).  When it is wet around the boulders here the ground is literally frictionless.

Big Ed filmed himself using a phone wedged in a shoe - which, everyone knows, is the only way to corroborate ascents

Art Of Japan


How big is Big Ed? Any useful shorties (5ft5ish) beta for this one? Couldn't get near it the other day!
You can can use the sidepull (chalked but unused by his right shoulder in the video above.)

Thanks - will have to give it a go next time

Hi obviously it will depend on the day but should be ok the right side of the face stays in the shade most of the time and you will want it to be fairly warm to dry the dampness.

A glorious evening session in June would be perfect!

Hope that helps.

Ummm maybe, I don't think it would flow very well, Arthur kind of climbs in from the right.

I swear there must be more blocks on that coastline, from Polzeath to Tintagel, I know Newberry has walked quite a bit, but with the storms there has to be more......

Could be..  Very meaty and would involve reversing a hard to reverse move at the start of Purple Pants to get into the starting position it shares.

Incidentally when Alex did AWOL Right Hand and Merlin's Beard he finished up and rightwards (not direct as Dan does in the vid), apparently there's little difference in difficulty... So meh.  But you could potentially keep going right and finish up the Hurler (which tops out above the rock pool)...

Good little boulder that one. Was there a week ago Sunday. Didn't think of your go again right hand to higher part of crack and crossed over into it with a high left foot, quite spicy either way!

The question marked hold out is a dish you slap out to with your left hand (pressing from from the second part of the crack), then you yard to the top direct for a burly 7B.

Nice one Rich, I must admit I was surprised to see chalk there!

I guessed who ever had been on it had been matching the 2nd slot but for me the smaller first slot felt so solid it felt easier to go again. First move is mega, top out was nails because it was damp.

Fatneck got the question mark thing right though. I've got a 3hr+ battery life and big memory card on my camera so I just leave it recording most of the time and it's amazing what you stupid stuff you find yourself doing when standing about...

The 7B of Robins' looks really good but unfortunately I ran out of skin after the super crack!

PS - enjoyed the vid.. very smooth on Maui.. didn't look like you were having to try hard (which probably means you were the whole way)...

Drone shots? they can be cool - like all pics depends on the light - the valley shot was good - the one of the boulders less so as the light was flat with no contrast.. On one of grimers podcasts (was it Lucy or Hazel? I forget) they were talking about making films... and were given the advice "all thrill and no fill" - in other words its really easy to put in shots that have taken you ages (or cost you alot of  money) but you have to think what do they add to the story? to the film? if nothing - then even though you've invested in it, it should be left out... Thats my non drone, drone advice :)

This is really cool, Robin. Did you hear about this as an existing venue or is it an original bouldering exploration? Is this the venue that Andy E and co are supposed to have been developing? Looks like lots of potential knocking about.
I've kept my eyes peeled in the dales for decent bouldering spots and the escarpments are mostly too easy or loose or have really steep landings or something else wrong with them. Maybe holes in the ground is the way to go?

Midges look like something else though!

Jordan tipped me off about Hull Pot a few years ago, after he did some new sport routes there. Took me ages to get round to checking it out. Sutty has also done a problem there, a harder sitter starting on undercuts just left of Dawid. I think he said about 7C+.

It is a cool venue. I heard later it was a particularly midgy summer's day all over Yorkshire, so I don't know how typical the midgey hell is. But after that experience I wouldn't consider visiting unless it was a windy day, or winter. We boshed out two problems and ran for our lives.

I've just spent a long weekend up in Kalbarri and I'm absolutely blown away. Bullet hard sandstone that goes on for miles, the majority of it is untouched as far as bouldering is concerned.

The stuff in this video is just some of the bouldering that's been developed over the last few years by a small number of people. I can't wait to get back up there and do some further exploring and get some FA's.

Dow Crag for those interested, Supergene and Hacienda. Its a good summer venue and I personally think one of the better Lakes mountain bouldering venues, hope it inspires people to check it out.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on June 11, 2017, 11:36:47 pm
We tried Hacienda last year and thought it was one of those that looked better than it is. Basically all the way up your right hand is in a crack which when climbed on it's own is a few grades lower than Hacienda. Which kind of makes Hacienda in effect a bit eliminate. Plus we got shut down on it, and you know how problems you get shut down on are shit?

Anyway, having done a few things on the other bit I won't be going back in a hurry. Also found that Red Clover a bit dabby, but a really great problem is the Red Clover sitstart moves then climb up the prow into the start holds of Gene then finish up this, which is about 7c and knockout.

Hacienda; yeah I couldn't touch it for about 30mins, and thought it didn't climb very nicely. A bit wide and didn't flow. But then I sussed it out and did it twice for camera and it felt really nice. One of those I guess. Supergene is cool, but I guess it's a bit eliminate.

Interesting - I did this many years ago around the same time as Tombstone in Cheddar - didn't feel much different IIRC. That said, I'm pretty sure we did the big move in the middle from a LH sidepull rather than what looks like decent undercuts - these may have appeared since?

Decent problem anyway

Was playing on this on Monday. Same start as Mr Funk, but using a small crimp and a tiny two finger slot on the seaward face for right hand, with small incuts on the opposite side for left hand to compress my way toward the big jug. Got this beta off a video on the net and feels hard for me (have only climbed 7B+). Was with a very strong climber on the day who did it with this beta and reckoned it just got in as 7C.
Given me something of a dilemma now as was going to project this as my first 7C.....if there's easier beta do I sack it off??  :-\

'Drugs and the meaning of life' was really enjoyable and 'behind the gun' some are a bit hit and miss depending on the quality of the guest. One of the interesting things I find is the focus on rationality, science and reason.

A great find. ☺

We tried Hacienda last year and thought it was one of those that looked better than it is. Basically all the way up your right hand is in a crack which when climbed on it's own is a few grades lower than Hacienda. Which kind of makes Hacienda in effect a bit eliminate. Plus we got shut down on it, and you know how problems you get shut down on are shit?

Totally disagree with this. I take pride in doing down my own problems these days, but I won’t have it that Hacienda is an eliminate - you start at the base of the arete and there’s no other way of getting up it. The sequence is subtle and excellent and the line and setting are superb. I know a number of people who’ve trudged up there over numerous sessions to get it and you don’t go to that sort of effort unless you rate a climb.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: dave on June 27, 2017, 03:00:41 pm
The fact remains you've always got one hand in a crack, which is graded easier if you climb the crack alone. Granted by today's standards this is not a factor for most.

For me it's a compelling line but I was disappointed, coloured to a large extent by the fact I was knackered at the end of a long day, and by the fact all the photos I'd seen were from the arete side so the impact of the crack wasn't clear until we got there.

Remember where I come from eliminate is a complement.

Everything featured is new, not in the guide or a first ascent to avoid boring people with the same old classics (saving them for a boring classics vid).

Hi b3n, what codec were you trying to grade the footage from? In my pretty limited experience it's hard to work with a h.264 codec and can end up looking a bit tinny and oversaturated. Those oranges in rocklands can look really orange if you see what I mean. I spent a bit of time trying to find something that works well and in the end depending on camera / memory filming in a pro res or similar codec with a flat profile and then trying to head towards something that looks as natural as possible while trying to resist the urge to pump up the saturation and crush the blacks (having done a lot of that in my vids)  - seems to produce the best results. The other thing is filming at the right time of day good use of depth of field and considering composition and cutaways from climbing footage can be a great way to make filming a bit more interesting. Probably a load of unsolicited advice (sorry!).

Cheers Dan, appreciate the feedback!

Im pretty clueless myself about most of this stuff, filming off a lx100 in 1080p mp4. The other video that I'm also currently editing i've used a much more toned down approach so will be interesting to hear what you prefer. Was persuaded by the opening shot (driving through the valley) that the video may suit a more pumped up approach but there's definitely some shots where i struggled to make it look natural enough. Filming in a flat profile is definitely something I will do in the future, noticed it makes life a ton easier! Time of day also (although unfortunately im always going to go when it's best to climb rather than when it's best to film), maybe I'll invest in a reflector so climbing in the shade isnt such an issue!

I liked the cave shots (just more interesting than others) and the last problem was great. I often think problems framed off centre work better - gives more context to the problem (and works well if overhanging and shot from side etc..). I didnt think it was over orange at all and nice to see new/different problems.

I prefer more talking than music (to me hearing the grunts/encouragement/piss-taking is more interesting than a tune..). But thats just me (and I tend to film/climb on my own in relative silence so.... :D )

Top crag. Great sunset views. The dyno's probably not as far as Quent's but the feet and the finish are all a bit slopey. Who knows about the grade. But it is a proper all out launch, with some exciting airtime for each failure. Great feeling sticking the hold - the kind of surprised glee I've not had for a long time.

This is on the Vimeo page but I thought it was worth highlighting here: Dolph on a first ascent rampage across Cheshire throughout this year. He's shared rough footage of individual problems from time to time and I was able to tip him off to a couple of projects. As an ex-Cheshire devotee its been exciting to see this new wave of development, leaving the area with some of its best and hardest problems - Back Woods Beauty Queen, in particular, is a bit of a king line. Small correction, the first two problems are at Stanner Nab, not Manley Knoll.

ps. there are access issues at Manley Knoll, which is in the grounds of the house of the same name. In theory, permission should be sought from the house first.

Thanks, yeah did a bit more colour correcting for the vimeo vid.

Lufthansa is fine, they just missed a connection flight, which meant they had to say over in frankfurt for the night, then one bag didn't turn up, guess thats easily done.

I was actually in Gothenburg for work, so we drove from there, if I was going again I would defo fly to Stockholm. Maybe climbing in the city and Uppsala on the way up. AirBnB are actually pretty cheap (probably the cheapest things relatively speaking).

Regarding 6's not too sure, to be honest we just went to try certain things as we only had four days. There is a decent guide book. Vastervik has a very UK (or even Yorkshire) feel, in that the each area doesn't have a lot of boulders, just lots of areas about 5-10mins drive form each other.

David Mason (monkeyboy) maybe able to give you more advice, he been a few times.

I flew Norwegian to Stockholm both times I went and then it's about 3-4 hour drive down to Vastervik.

To be honest because of the nature of the area, few boulders at each area but lots of areas close together, I tended to go to an area for a specific problem and then head to the next area. For this reason I don't know too much about problems in the 6's. At the bigger areas I am sure there are though. When I get the guide back from Ben I can look through let you know. It's a really beautiful place to visit with a good variety of rock at the different areas.

New One.

Includes footage of Little Women at Kentmere, not sure if there any footage of this anywhere, so might spark some interest.

Enjoyed that Dan, glad you're still making them :2thumbsup:

I particularly like seeing footage of something completely new, like the Star Power one. Also, that Missy Elliot tune is sick.

Me and tomtom had a good time at Blackstones Edge doing some nice climbs.


A must for the low/mid 6s climber wanting drastically contrasting short man / lanky beta, and how to do some stuff without the sit starts:

Another VLOG- this time from a new (ish) developed crag in the Lakes called Harter fell (which should be feature in the high anticipated Lakes bouldering guide from our pal Greg C)

Also includes Ben Freeman repeating Hispanolio (3rd ascent) up at Rylstone.

Great weekend.

New VLOG- over a few days, probably the best climbing week of my life. Doing Voyager Sit and Star Slinger Sit are probably the best bits of climbing I have done. Not the great blog as its a bit of a mash up, however, was more focus on the climbing. Full send footage to feature on another film i am doing.

Thanks Dan, I had a play on a rope first - spooky move. If you fancy a go with few extra pads I can let you know when I go back, most likely sometime in the Spring once I've cleaned / dug off the top of another highball there.

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

 I was slightly reluctant to make 'training' videos. I am not massively into the 'training' or 'must be able to hang one arm on a campus rung with plus 10kg before I can climb 7a' culture we seem to be in, my personal climbing is based more on obsession/determination/stupidity rather than training. But if people enjoy them and find them useful, I am more than happy to do some more. Thoughts?

I do have a really good after climbing 30-45min core exercise, which might be of interest. Get that up shortly. Thanks again.

Put up a new DWS line yesterday. Not difficult but a no fall line due to a hefty boulder right where you'd land.
Didn't help that the bottom third was wet........
Cleaned it last week but was too rough to have a go at.

Failed mission to the Peak.

Question to Raven Tor locals/ Fat Lip ascentionists.
1. Has it been responsibly dry at the Tor this winter? and do you think it will dry back after the rain last week.
2. On Fat Lip, after the RH triple bump off the heel hook near the start, you kind of sort your feet out, do you then drop into a deep pocket with LH before going to the tweaked undercut pocket?

Ta.

Hey Dave, nice vlog and psyche. I have no knowledge about the second point and haven't been to the Tor since November but I would imagine it won't be drying back significantly until the end of February. I understand this rule of thumb has been incorrect in the past but I think your vid shows a typical picture for Jan.I hope this helps!

Having a wee think about your drive to increase subscribers. You could see if UKC will feature one of your vlogs. They have a lot of exposure.

I've studied a few of the popular climbing vlogs (magnus, Mani the Monkey (wtf!?), Matt Groom). Based on their popular videos I've got these suggestions for future videos. Training tips for beginners, a one armed muscle up, be a 9b beast, name drop some famous climbers in your title

Yes, its a bit of a funny one, i don't really want to come across as annoying and push things in peoples faces.

Your stuff is good Dan—I hope you get over the 1k mark. On the topic of youtube and climbing, the recent explosion of filming everyday stuff at the wall type channels is interesting. They seem to be incredibly popular, and although I don't count myself as a snob WRT the great indoors (it is great), titles like 'Today the krew is climbing outside' bemuse me.

I assume it's possible to make at least a little money if you've in the order of 10s of thousands of views per day. Is that the goal you have in mind?

No not really. Funny, had this conversation with a few people, "whats my motivation for making these videos". It is certainly not about making money (I have a good job that I absolutely love and equally as enthusiastic about).

I just want to document British rock climbing (bouldering) better and also the kind of process you have to go through to climb hard (ish) boulders in the UK. I found myself getting into the mindset that climbing hard is only for elite and professional climbers who have 'more time' etc. Actually its not, its the one thing that really makes climbing/bouldering unique as a performance sport, that there is nothing stopping anyone from trying the same problems as professionals or getting to that level (especially in terms of rock climbing).

Its sounds a bit clique but if I can inspire people to get out there, do more, try harder then thats awesome. I would feel like I have contributed a bit more to the sport.

Good to hear. I think a little coin would be a nice bonus, since you're putting the effort in on the reg. I guesstimate (based on this site https://influencermarketinghub.com/youtube-money-calculator/ (https://influencermarketinghub.com/youtube-money-calculator/)) that Mitbo might be getting something like $5 K PA, tops? Which is nice if true, but hardly a living. Perhaps someone who knows about youtubey things can correct me if I'm wrong.

You should make your titles click-baity, film people punting about at The Works now and then, and see the views roll in. Just kidding. Keep doing what you're doing.

As a punter its hard to appreciate what goes into operating at the higher levels, and easy to dismiss top performers as genetically gifted/morphologically advantaged etc, esp as most films just show the send, not the agony of the hundred failed attempts beforehand..

Cheers guys, thought it would be funny to put together a "suffering" looking video but in fact I always enjoyed it. It's funny really, I drive past the turn off for the wall on the way there and still found myself more compelled to go outside even on a grim forecast despite it being an hour away. It's not the best problem in the world but I've always wanted to do it. One evening I left my house at 8pm after putting the kids to bed, that was a late one!

23:12 was the time, more of a reminder to myself of when I was sat there very cold thinking "Is this actually worth it, it's 23:12, -3 degrees and it'll be spring and warm soon".

Dan, how tall is the geez in that vid who reaches the good part of the arete with his feet still low? I'm wondering if I could have done that. I was stepping onto a marginal smear on the arete and quickly getting a right toe into the thin slot before slapping left hand up. Reaching past that would make it loads easier. Can you still take 7B+ for that...?

Hi Will, as Tim says the crux is the reach to the crimp although I fell off going to the jug. I think it's easier to reach high up the arête with low feet but you have to have flexible hips to get your feet right foot up then. I'm 5:9 and do it that way. It's not 5a tho haha.

I like it Dan. You have good footage of yourself climbing hard stuff so it doesn't need much tarting up. Some people would stick transitions in between all of that but I wouldn't. You could maybe come back to the Polaroid device a few more times though.

Why do you put vlog in capitals?

Hi Dan

For what it's worth I agree with the above. Really like the way the video footage turns to a still and then is seen on the board with you looking at it. Was expecting and hoping this would happen with each of the videos shown.

Makes me imagine you are looking at the pictures and the video is then your memory of climbing it. Not sure if that was the plan but that's how it felt and I liked it! So more please!

Thanks for the vids always enjoyable.

Cheers guys <3

Gav - yeah I hadn't even heard of the Stell (apart from reading Dan V's blog about Great Expectations) until a few days ago when I started revising the NMC online guides. Lovely wee crag, like a cross between burbage bridge and doxy's pool on such nice rock (and so far nice soft grades for a change). Obviously I wasn't doing anything spectacular but if one view translates into someone diverting there instead of Bowden/Kyloe-In....

I was even more impressed by the snow drifts there - after doing the first problem I tried to walk around and step down onto a drift that I previous dropped my pads onto, and promptly plummeted up to my waist. Cue much hilarity and various attempts at mantle out - quite unsuccessful on snow - and some frantic rocking back and forth before I could slither out and empty my chalkbag of snow. Alas all just off camera  :'(

Cave Arete at Edlingham is class. I had a family holiday in a cottage on the other side of the valley and could see the crag from the window.

I rocked up one evening sans pads and guidebook. Did the arete after a couple of attempts but jumped off at the big jug, not knowing it topped out. A good excuse to go back for the full tick  :goodidea:
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on March 12, 2018, 08:51:02 am
It's piss if it's dry. E2 5b maybe, if that. I did it before as part of the easier problems there:

Quote
https://vimeo.com/121886233

That time I'd brought a rope, abbed down and cleaned them because I was worried about the tops, and was surprised how easy they were. This time I didn't bring the rope, the left side of the arete was soaking, and the one useful hold on the right side was lichenous, even after leaning over the top with my brush on a stick. A fair amount of the 13 minutes was trying to get that hold in a comfortable state.

I do think it's fairly valid to jump off after the jug as it's pretty disparate in the two halves ;)

I went before all the snow to do a bit of filming, but believe its had quite a bit of attention recently (from Instagram). What an amazing place. That boulder you did at the start is pretty scary isn't it ha!

Good effort going there, I believe there is an online guide for the crag.

Post by: Fiend on March 16, 2018, 11:44:38 am
I'm basically chasing you around The County Dan, just at 10 grades lower ;) . The Fly Tipper was the only thing I properly did there, it looked piss from the ground but the top was pretty off balance / slappy. All this was after I got the car stuck on a muddy verge, dug two deep pits with spinning tyres, and had to wait to flag down a passing car to tow me out on that very minor road with no mobile signal....just after I'd hit peak caffeine but with not enough food so had major plot loss - TBH the most fun bit of the day was powerwashing all the mud off the car on the way back ;)

Yup there is an online guide at the NMC's Issuu site: https://issuu.com/thenmc

Will, NCFOM does indeed seem ace. I'd run out of balls at that point, the landing is decent (I'd put an old fence down over the bog there), but it just felt too sketchy and given it swings left I couldn't double stack the pads. Msg me if you're ever going there...

I get more scared now on NTBTA above 3 pads than I ever did above a beer towel borrowed from the Scotsman’s Pack..
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on March 17, 2018, 09:26:21 am
Had a good meal in the Scotsman's Pack the other weekend, nice to see they're still reliable for a post-Stanage binge.

I did NTBTA above a beer towel despite owning pads - I'd just been inspired to do it the old-fashioned way, having wanted to do it for years before pads existed.

I once had a Perrier "beer towel", that suited me a lot better, I lost it somewhere tho.

NTBTA - never been brave enough to try that, but the crux is pulling on, right? A few moves up and it gets a lot easier? Really must get round to it some day...

I'll go and do it with you Murph. It's on my list of problems that I'd want a spot and a few pads for but don't know anyone who hasn't done them before.

Latest exploration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3s1L10VmSkA

In addition to not featuring any big numbers nor fancy camera angles as usual, this doesn't even feature a coordinated beanie nor any gabber. But it does show a nice selection of problems at yet another grossly underused crag (sunny, open, 5 minute downhill walk, much closer to the swarming mass of humanity down south etc)

Was that mine?? If so, much appreciated. Glad you spotted the bonus feature ;)

This doesn't feature as many guns but it does feature names (where they exist), grades (tentatively corrected) AND suggested stars:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38pAemsdrdc

It's also one I'm particularly chuffed with, included:

5 grade spread from easy to medium
4 boulder problems
3 distinct styles of climbing
2 hidden gems
1 awesome soundtrack

From young Turnbuckle on Vimeo;

"Some days you head to the crag with little expectation for the day. This day was one of those after a big day out the day before involving a lot of climbing and walking having climbed at Rhythm, Crookrise and Faires Chest I headed to the crag not feeling the freshest and warming up my skin was feeling sore further lowering the expectations of the day but this was just going to be a good social day out with mates. After warming up on the usaual circuit of classics Mina, Dom, Luke and Tom were getting on Zoo York so with a lot pads and psyche there was no excuse not to try as I always have done over the past couple of years with the asperation of one day climbing it. To my suprise even though it was the first time I'd tried it this season it felt the best it ever has and I quickly did and linked moves I'd always struggled with, after a few goes it seemed most logical to start having goes from the ground. It was one of the rare occasions I didn't have a camera with me, thankfully Dave had just got close on Bens Groove Sit so set his up in preparation for another attempt and even more luckily Mina had just pressed record. I'd imagine you can guess what happened next..."

To be honest I was there and I couldn't tell you about any in joke, it's all in the great/twisted (cross out where necessary) mind of Doylo. Having said that we did have a lot of fun and did some rock climbs!

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on April 25, 2018, 03:11:04 pm
It is nice indeed. Funnily enough I was totally unmotivated when I arrived, I was trying Hard Times and it was all scrittly as well as a shockingly bad sandbag (especially given other things of that grade here are overgraded), and I was almost on the verge of walking back out and going to Eden when I started playing on Too Hard For Blakey and that got me really motivated, it's such an amusingly minimal problem boiling down to how secure the left hand feels. And then it was all good. I definitely like the vibe and the crag aesthetics :)

I nearly came up with a half decent way of doing Wipe That Smile but I got confused by the choice of rubbish slopers, high footholds, directions to face and possible limbs so decided to do it with the back of my left arm. Obviously.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: gme on April 25, 2018, 03:26:02 pm
Scrittle is a perenial problem up here everywhere you go, as i am sure you know. Either through too much traffic or not enough.Rock quality is really good at the stell though so it can be easily brushed off.

Grades as everywhere are all over the place. Sadly over grading is even creeping into the county a place where there were few giveaways not that long ago. I think the old boys still putting up the problems all have rose tinted specs; and when i say old i mean it, i am still a youngster at 50.

Have you checked out Hepburn south or the new simonside stuff yet?

Not yet, I may do, not sure. Garleigh is maybe next on my list, plus trying to rally some friends to get on the higher stuff at High Crag / Shitlington / etc.

Stell grades seem particularly abstract to me ;) Too many soft-touches there for sure but then there's the odd horror.

In spite of (or because of?) the polish I loved Castle Hill and got on really well with the climbing, flashing and climbing a few things above my usual limit.

Unfortunately Flock was close due to lambing, or filming, or something.

Nice vid Kingy by the way. Jerrys autobiography made this venue sound like a shit hole, yet your video (with the help of the pan pipe dities) have made it a venue I may now visit.

Cheers guys, glad the video has sparked some interest. Im afraid I am stuck in Windows Moviemaker land hence the glaring fonts and backgrounds.

Maybe I've spent too long at the cliff (or on peak lime), but I'm amazed that Jimmy got the FA of that 8B direct finish on the Dreamtime boulder, I would have thought everything possible would have long been climbed on that boulder. Especially considering how many capable wads have gone there. The obviously low start needs doing now.

Too much padding, although the scenery shots are nice, and too much fucking awful unwatchably choppy editing. Some of the sections are shit on a stick where the stick is also made of shit. That fucking slab after Dreamtime (the camera stability in dreamtime is pretty nauseating too) is beyond fucking terrible.

Pity as the angles and the problems are ace but often totally ruined.

Very cool GazM. There must be loads of hidden boulders in that area. We've been up to near Bonar Bridge on loads of family holidays and you often see the odd boulder by the road. I seem to remember a promising looking one when you go over Struie Road opposite the hill.

Thanks folks, it's been a fun year.  Andy, sadly no sandstone here.  All those problems are either on schist or erratics made of some kind of very crystalline granite (I think). There's sandstone not too far away on the Moray coast and out west (Torridon, Ullapool etc), so I can't complain.

Did a new boulder problem up at Rylstone at the weekend called Chimp Paradox, its the left arete on the main Lanny Bassham face. I have no idea of the grade but its very nice climbing and really enjoyed building the landing with some mates, figuring it out and then climbing it. Also nice to walk from my front door to the boulder. Anyway video below.

whilst trying to find the better edit, I noticed that I seem to do a double foot placement/settle quite a bit on the video. I've always been one for a hand and finger reposition, but never noticed myself doing a foot equivalent

a few uncomplicated shots of the far east end of Burbage North

there's some good easy problems there -  the walk along the top of the crag to get there is lovely; and flat

the place itself has a good "away from it all" feel

it catches a good breeze and so dries out nicely

a bit scrittley, but some more traffic should sort that

There are a few ways. I did it with beta from teastub, a right heel and left foot ruddering underneath. Other way is a lower right heel and toe hooking with left under boulder. Newman did it with a kneebar at the start!

It's in Shock of the New. Ben did it this/last year and it looks good, if not a bit sharp at the start. I think Dan and SotN go direct at the top, staying on the left of the rib. Ben moved slightly right to the other side of the rib after standing in the pocket. Probably both steady-but-scary?

Yh, me and Buck did it a few years ago. Seem to remember there being couple of hard moves of the deck and the top just being a bit gripping as it can often be a bit dirty. I think I stayed left at the top too, I'll have vid of it somewhere.

I was lamenting the lack of posts on this thread. The glory days of beardown productions are long gone! Guy VG, LBP, and the rest, where are they now? Perhaps Instagram has destroyed the amateur bouldering short? I for one don't climb anything that takes longer than 1 minute anymore, what's the point of you can't get the likes? Perhaps everything that can be climbed is already on YouTube?

Then I thought, I used to make little videos, I'll make another one. Relive the good old days. It's like Brexit, an attempt to regain former imagined glories, except not as shit.

A point of note. It may look like it's snowing then we climb Nine Pebble Slab. This is a trick of editing, like when the Queen appeared to storm out a meeting. The Queen would never storm out and I would never climb damp grit.

So here it is, a collection of climbs from last season. You've probably seen them all on film before, just skip through them or better yet don't watch it at all. Think how many Instagram pics you could scroll past in the time it takes to watch this clip.

I never make climbing videos because I have a bulky camera so it’s just too much hassle to take it with me I’m always injured. But if I wanted to, what would be a good camera to get?

I looked at the GoPro Hero7 White, but there were some negatives (frame size 1440 not 1080, built in battery).  The black version looks good but it’s too much money. The Apeman A80 gets a good review however.

Unless I’m missing something from looking at the specs you’ll just be able to set it to record at 1080.

Decent video software should let you have the resolution of the finished product lower than the source footage anyway- there are a number of advantage to doing this, although it will make your computer work harder!

Thanks. I agree. Although also I can't be bothered finding free to use music so easier to keep it raw!

I looked at the GoPro Hero7 White, but there were some negatives (frame size 1440 not 1080

A lot of that vid was filmed with my phone. I got a little 2£ adapter to fitx it to a tripod off eBay. If all you want is a quick point and shot then phones are very good these days.

Just slightly more inconvenienced when the wind blows it off a rock and it breaks.

Sorry, for pure climbing the best single boulders in the uk are all at Dumby I'm afraid. Eagle boulder has thin slabs, super steep overhangs, dynos, highballs. Grades from 3 to 8B and 20+ individual lines. Pongo, BNI and home rule boulders are all right up there too.

I had an ab down Marrow Bone a few months ago when it was filthy and sot of forgot about it. Keen to have a look having done the other two on the slab but remember thinking it wasn't very clear which holds were on Adrenaline Rush. Having pulled round the arete it looks like you chalk up pretty much as you would on AR and then head up and right from there?

went here today, absolutely class, lovely sheltered spot, not a sign of seepage, and good quality esoteric limestone pulling. Gullivers travels was amazing and the sit too. found the shield and pinch hitter really hard.

Sorry to hear that, Fiend. It looked like you almost had a worthwhile experience there but have resigned yourself to piss taking by Dan and Dave. If only there had been some near-worthless RP placements you could have used. Then you could have tied a rope around your balls, clipped the wires, and had something approaching an authentic experience.

Who knows about a trad grade. If that's a 6b move that you're struggling with to get to the break then that'd be a sandbag and a half for padless E3 6b (assuming the landing isn't ultra bouncy grass).
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on February 04, 2019, 01:20:01 pm
FA (I think), different game. Wouldn't want any potential repeaters to have to deal with flakiness and lichen.

Fucking carlisle slapper did it all already. Still worth a clean up and some attention tho. Would be pretty grim for the Font 6C (rather than 8C) climber to do it ground-up in the state I found it in.



6b move is at the start. Top is maybe 6a for me or 5b if you're tall. Landing is good, it's not that big, I'm quite small.

Sorry, just seen this question. They are in The Meadow. Lovely venue with a very friendly feel. Lower is the sitstart to Lo. It's not in the guidebook, but it's on UKC as a 6C (felt 7A to me). Tickbox is on the huge boulder uphill from this. Not in the guidebook either, it's a new one.

Lovely little video Dan.

Au Revoir Monodoigt is to the left, watching it again. How do they compare?

I think it would be great if we could share media via albums on site, rather than in threads that are a few hundred pages long.

Hi Dave, I abbed down to clean it and have a look at the wall to the left with the intention of doing monodoigt however couldn’t fashion a way of using the mono with my right so did it with my left which brings you closer to bubbles. It’s not an eliminate though and follows a good sequence somewhere between 6C+ and 7A+.

Not yet. Saving those for when my knees finally give up.

On another note, we met and climbed with a lad called Eadan from Ullapool who has been climbing up there. He's done some amazing stuff all over the world and did a great video of Torridon a while back. I'm pretty excited to see if he climbs some harder stuff.

We also did some amazing climbing up near Durness and I'll make a little video of that soon.

Thanks all!

It's a proud line for sure.  Cool holds, cool moves, aesthetic, etc.  Definitely a 5-star line.  Such a process getting through the whole thing.  Should've finished it a month ago, but dryfires and skin issues kept me from sending.

Lagers -  There are two versions of the stand.  Meathooking the arete was the original beta.  In trying the sit, I couldn't get into the meathook position, so I figured out the big right hand move.  My friend who did the stand from there couldn't get the original meathook beta to work for him.  It's a really subtle move with the meathook.

READ THIS - TIMESTAMPS BELOW!

1. This video just features myself climbing. If that's not palatable, try focusing on the problems and scenery ;).

2. I chose problems that appealed to me, whether due to line, aesthetics, movement, personal challenge, situation, etc, they should all be good ones though.

3. I was mostly exploring on my own (I don't have enough friends for a send-train bellend pad party ;)), so have sometimes avoided highballs with nightmare landings.

4. I have leg issues so I've avoided a few classic areas due to their mountaineering walk-ins.

5. Some problems required a fair bit of cleaning and chalking. I brushed off my tickmarks after I left and the occasional Snowdonia rain showers should do the rest.

6. Grades given are the guidebook ones, with occasional suggestions. All +/- two grades, of course. The highball (!) rating seems equally experimental, but the star ratings are invariably well-deserved.

Nice viddy, Dan.

For the Stone Roses Traverse, I think you've topped out a bit early. SRT climbs into Pull My Strings which starts on the BB Slap finger jug and continues all the way under the lip to a finish at the far left of the boulder.

When I did BB Slap I didn't top out as direct as the stone hand does. Rather than do the rounded mantel you can scoot left into the groove and top out there. I'd be interested to know whether the direct mantel adds that much. If it doesn't then you've got two climbs which share a crux start, then the one with the long, techy 6C+ finish gets 7C+ and the one that finishes up BB Slap (6B with the cheeky scoot left) gets 8A.
Stone Hand is definitely the better problem imo, but my complete armchair opinion is that it probably shouldn't be harder than Stone Roses Traverse.

Post by: Will Hunt on January 28, 2020, 12:55:59 pm
I'm not saying that the Stone Hand isn't 8A, I'm just saying that if that is 8A and the direct mantel on BB Slap isn't hard (it's not made to look so in the video) then Stone Roses Traverse must be harder. So if the consensus on Stone Hand is soft 8A then SRT is probably just a more middling 8A.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Will Hunt on January 28, 2020, 02:13:37 pm
You can see the difference in top outs here. Sam does the left hand top out to finish at 7:35. This shares the start with SRT but is an easy 6B top out instead of the harder 6C+ trav that you do on SRT.

Post by: Bradders on January 28, 2020, 07:07:47 pm
I was at Scout with Dave Buchanan a few months ago. We had a look at Stone Hand but it was wet.

Anyway, he told me then that he did SRT when he was a teenager, he did it really quick, and nothing was ever given 8A back then so he just went one lower.

I did both the mantle and leftwards exit and thought they were about the same. Haven't done the traverse but all the holds are good.

Either way, you definitely topped out early Dan, back around  ;) (good work really  :weakbench:)

apologises for another grade discussion, and just to make matters clearer, I personally thought Stone Hand was more like 7C/+. But my beta was a tad different and it's completely my style n that.

edit: apparently Sam thought it was harder than the fonze, so horses for courses n that.

Christ, talk about things being blown out of proportion. I have done both finishes, each of which is an independent boulder problem in its own right. Fiend, normally when you offer your opinions on grades in Yorkshire it's at crags that you've not even visited, let alone having done or even attempted the problems.
If anyone has done the start into both finishes and thinks that the Stone Hand is harder then that's fair enough.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on January 29, 2020, 01:35:22 pm
It was mostly a joke - your logic is sensible and I doubt there's any dispute. Incidentally I have been to that bit of Scout, the conditions were mediocre, I didn't like the hillside landing, and my guts felt bad.

And I previously wasn't offering any opinion on problems I haven't looked at and would never be able to do, I was offering an opinion why a good climber might find easier problems, well, easier.

More interestingly I reckon there could be some rare occasions where an easier problem felt a harder finish on a link - if it was the sort of problem that was harder if you're drained. Enduro-problem Y into 6B bulge could feel harder than into a 6C slab topout  :devangel:

Tounge in cheek or not, this can absolutely be the case. A draining 8a sport route into a 5B dyno can easily be 8a+ (in fact I have an example in mind). A draining 8a to a vertical techy 6A boulder is still 8a (I have an example in mind in the same area as previous example).

Yeah. Sparrow-legged arsehole. Even his knees are scrawny. Still, great climbing tho, final moves are impressive.

Round up of Jan-Feb, might have been some quality in there but I got excited when I did something nice and put the vid out straight away ;) luckily I managed a couple of old school classics and some stuff which will be unseen til now I'd guess.

Really enjoyed those Matt, really interesting selection of problems. I admire your enthusiasm for getting out whenever you can and to a very intriguing selection of places. No shortage of enthusiasm when you're actually at the crag either. Good stuff.

West Nab looks great, I have no idea why I never made it there.

Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on March 03, 2020, 12:29:39 pm
Cheers guys. The places have partly been dictated by the weather - Matlock area and Brimham area have both been in the rainshadow of the Pennines and offered a bit of shelter since almost all the dry days have been "blowy as fook man". West Nab was my favourite discovery of this season, the rock there is surprisingly compact fine-grained and elegant.

For future reference in case anyone ends up searching UKB, here's a problem list (video for short fat weak person beta is 5 posts up)

Dark Horse direct start (or Back Street Abortionist) V6, Bank Quarry
Work Life Balance 7A, Jackson Tor
Peaches And Crust V6, Shining Cliff
Glass Slipper V6 (V5?), Froggatt In The Woods
English Voodoo V6, Gardoms
Beauty V5, Stanage
Fallen Archangel V6 (V4/5?), Stanage
Ten Inch Zombies V5

Hours Of Practise V6, West Nab
Archery V6, West Nab
Cling V5 (V3/4?), West Nab
Skyline Slab V5 (V4?), Roaches Skyline
Upside Down Arete 6B+ (6B?), Holmfirth
Holmeward Bound 6C, Holmfirth
Mad's Mantel 7A+ (6C/+?), Holmfirth
Enhancing Hero V5 (V3/4?), Wimberry
Fish Dish V4, Wimberry

Bryony's Arete 7A, Hitching Stone
Needle Of Dreams 6C!, Scout Hut
Rudolph 6C!, Shipley Glen
Boris Or Bust 6C, Little Brimham
Fiddlesticks 6B+ (6C?), Bat Buttress
By Hook Or Crook stand 6C+, Hunter Stones
Mnemonic LH 6B+, Hunter Stones
Mnemonic RH 6C+, Hunter Stones

It was a light rap on the knuckles, and partly defending Offwidth's honour!

Alex and Jamie, cheers. I did Archery as a last minute dash out after going to a gabber club in liverpool the night before. Staggered across the heather and tussocks in a howling gale having to tack against the wind, expecting the whole thing to be dismal. Popped around the edge of a boulder to find this amazing line with just enough shelter from the breeze....was super psyched.

P.S. The difference is that *my* downgrades are scientifically accurate and correct (and not reach issues). And stuff that is right at my flashing / working limit as applicable.

With Treebeard, did you work it from the lip of the roof and then link in from the roof? I'm sure the roof moves are easy, but I can imagine them draining you just a little and making the main bit a little harder to get to grips with? But then I can imagine cracking the arete and not wanting to do it again or wishing you'd just done it from the start.

Also, no need to tie down your spotter at all? I've never actually tried or spotted Treebeard so not really sure how wide the platform is there, but on Black Annis you're cutting it pretty fine with the landing zone.

Enjoyed that Nick, made me miss rock climbing even more though. I am a big fan of no music so thumbs up from me. Mossatrocity must be well old footage, Jennings looks so young :lol:

One thing I would say is I didn't have time to read most of the captions. Slow reader? Or maybe leave them up for a little longer.

Will you definitely don't need a tied in spotter for Treebeard.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Bradders on March 30, 2020, 09:37:03 am
Thanks Andy.

Will, I did the arete on a rope, then just went from the bottom (other than a few warm up pulls from the lip). Personally there's no way I'd have done lip to top and called it a day, the roof section is awesome and adds quality to the overall problem, as well as a bit of difficulty as the moves are long and they definitely tire you a little, especially core.

I also can't actually reach the lip from the deck, have to stand on a couple of pads or one folded, so it feels in no way contrived to start lower; in fact the opposite would be true.

We didn't tie in to spot but it'd be safer if you did. Olly took some pretty hefty falls but always landed on the pads, so just a case of making sure he didn't then slide too far.

While we're all stuck at home feelin' blue.... here's a little video of some climbing we did this summer in Durness, Sutherland. This is about as far away as you can possibly go on the UK mainland and the rocky promontory of Rispond had some amazing gneiss boulders. Some of them were absolutely massive. Plenty more to get on up there if you're up for the trek. We only went for one day and so most of what we climbed was pretty easy. One notable exception was an amazing steep roof with an excellent 7b that I called RSVP. Hope you enjoy it!

Can you park at the pier at Rispond?

No. Its a little dead end and they aren't very keen for you to go down there. We parked on the grass at the obvious right hand curve just before the village (there is an obvious farmer's track if you look on google maps). If you follow that track and keep heading North-east (past the first bay full of enormous tidal blocks) you will end up at the blocks we found. Rainbow wall is directly west of the car park. I've made a google map which will hopefully show you what I mean:

I can't precisely assess the moisture level of the rock from a video....but crikey....the protagonists certainly aren't making any effort to appear likeable!  The contrast with the recent WCG and Stoned Love reveries is pronounced.  My view is best summarised as:

Been there (too) many times when working the Mentalist myself, it's definitely dry in that video. That's just the colours of the rock.
It annoyed me more than it should have done that they thought Propellor head was the thing on the left.

To be fair, as the generation between Moffat and co and these YouTube boys I generally feel disconnected from both, but if we assume the rock is dry (they climb pretty hard, so must assume they're up to speed with basic etiquette?) then they don't seem all to unbearable. They're having a fun time, seem quite psyched and pleasant. I think a lot of the YouTube bullshit can be offputting though.

Noun. (plural choads) (vulgar, slang) A penis. (vulgar, derogatory, slang) A loser or undesirable person; an insulting name.
Nads
ALternate moniker to 'gonads' or 'testicles'. That dude has big nads.

If I can tolerate doing them, they must be okay to navigate around, as I'm a grumpy sod when it comes to bashing around in the jungle / bog trying to actually get on climbing. I can confirm the stuff i did is in a fairly concentrated area and wasn't difficult to get to.

Ah was just a joke; I thought it was funny as he dabs the coat he's got hung off the boulder, presumably to provide shade, a few times. Clearly no big deal, didn't mean to deny credit although since when are we not allowed to joke about that sort of thing?

Cheers Chris. Easy mistake to make, she is ~5 foot 2 or 3 inches so not far away.

The black bits were uhh, intentional. Perhaps it would have been better if the clips faded in/out, though this was close to the limits of my editing abilities.

I liked it but I personally have a short attention span so I'd normally want a video involving one problem to be shorter unless there was more drama, emotion, power-screaming etc. Maybe focus on a good shot for each of the moves and some failures then the send go? Or add some tunes if it's going to be long.

Take all the above with a pinch of salt as all the videos I have ever made are very much at the non-quality end of the spectrum  :)

Hey man, thanks for your feedback. This is one of the main things I tried to balance in the video. I wanted to tell a bit more of a story since I find videos of sends quite boring - I want to see which parts of the climb are hard, how the climber adjusted their beta, etc. I'll try to make the footage a bit more interesting next time to sustain interest. I think some more angles/if you could hear the audio properly over the sound of the bloody wind would help to maintain that interest. Or some dramatic music, as you say.

I thought it was quality too, as much for the crazy setting, surrounding scenery, mist shot, fallen car, etc. Although some of the bloks do look cool.

White Cloud looked like a momentary grip sort of thing, he did try a feet-on method.

Music okay by me but really it needed this as a soundtrack:

Yeah Al climbed it crimping in the roof and toe-hooking the lip, which is definitely desperate - Dave Mac repeated it like that but I think everyone else has done a method using the lip for your right hand all the way along. Good bit easier but seems more natural to me.

Niche!!! An hour long documentary on Pennsylvanian bouldering. The state is completely unknown when it comes to climbing but as the film shows it's packed with a huge variety of great looking venues. I'm pissed off with myself that I did virtually nothing to take advantage of it while I lived there (though I never managed to meet another climber and a lot of the best areas are hours from where I lived). It looks like exactly the kind of thing I like: backwater venues hidden in the woods, interesting local scenes. Also, it really is a beautiful state.

Cheers all. Glad the vid/facial hair was entertaining. ;D

That neither looks like a summer project, nor a summer beard. Good effort on both.

It's a handy nearby crag for me, just 7min drive from home. So not a bad place for a lockdown project. The fan made it climbable in summer, if not ideal - I very nearly did it, just dropped the finish (the bit I thought I wouldn't drop! Changed the sequence after that).

But after about 10 sessions I decided I needed to do something else and come back in winter. I'd just come off an even longer siege and my siege psyche had run out. And yeah, it was easier in the cold.

Nice legwarmers, very flashdance. looks like it needs he coldest of the cold!

Legwarmers are brilliant. I hate the cold, have to use all the tricks.

The temps definitely helped, though with a fan it's perfectly possible in summer. Maybe even in winter I wouldn't have done it without a fan. My hands were too hot, I just couldn't stick to the holds until I used it to cool my skin.

Good effort. reminds me of The Revenant .... just need a grizzly bear!

I made sure to film the ascent in one take as well. And it's all natural light. 😆

was that an "air Egyptian"?

Well spotted, that's what makes it so wierd! I've been calling it a dropknee toehook, though I quite like air Egyptian. There is something small there to hook. Opposition between that and the Rh sloper slap is what keeps you on. It's hard to place as the right foot is on a marginal smear, so you are basically dangling on slopers whilst trying to fiddle it into position. Very finicky.and very unusual. I tried all sorts but couldn't make anything else work.

As for the music, I never understood the outrage over violent lyrics in music as we generally don't hold film/tv to the same standard. I don't endorse executing children but I just watched that happen in a TV series I'm watching and I'll tune in again tomorrow.

It’s not the violence per se. It’s the glorification that is the problem. And I think people would have a problem if a TV program glorified violence against women too. At least I hope they would.

Are you casually watching films that glorify sexual violence against women? Because that's what's being referenced in the lyrics.

Your TV series may have had children dying but I'd hazard a guess it wasn't being celebrated.

The recent Mellow video with Barefoot Charles in it was great, you get a sense of his personality as well as it being a joy to watch him climb.

The music in this video is first and foremost a distraction. But I wouldn’t want to be brand manager for TNF. My bet is the vid doesn’t stay up in its current state.

I see your concern re fiends comments TB, it’s clear the target audience for Mellow may be at risk of being triggered to go out and commit random acts of violence and misogyny after hearing that music. Where as fiends music choices may lead one to simply turn the vid off.

Are you casually watching films that glorify sexual violence against women? Because that's what's being referenced in the lyrics.

Your TV series may have had children dying but I'd hazard a guess it wasn't being celebrated.

The line between the glorification of violence/sexual abuse/racism and simply depicting it is blurry at best. Just take Game of Thrones as an example - one of the most popular shows of all time and you might see all of these themes appear in a single episode.

I'm not overly familiar with this particular song, but take his first album 'Ready to Die' which depicts similar themes such as drug dealing, misogyny, violence and armed robbery. The record is a masterpiece, a view unanimously shared by music critics and it went platinum. Whilst the lawlessness it describes is thrilling, the album is a reflection of the environment he grew up in, and it ultimately serves as a deterrent. The story unfolds track-by-track, honestly portraying the internal struggle of a young black man caught up in gangs and drugs, and it shares the excitement and the horror that comes with it (e.g. the closer "Suicidal Thoughts"). Take one of those tracks out of context of the album and some would view them as glorifying violence, but they'd be wrong.

Precisely.

I've no issue with depictions of violence etc. where it serves a purpose or is relevant to the context in which it's portrayed. I've recently been catching up on The Walking Dead, for example, and it would be bizarre for it not to feature incredibly graphic violence.

That's not what's happening here.

The story of rap glorifying sexual violence is not a new one, as is the history of white men (balding and overweight not a requirement but a common theme) pretending any attempt to change societal attitudes towards women is worthy of mockery.

If Mellow picked this track for its ironic commentary on the pitfalls of traditional rap culture then they've missed an opportunity for discussion. I doubt it though...

AS a rapper. For every group of kids buying TNF T-shirts there will be at least some middle aged men who view TNF as the go-to brand for the outdoor clothing connoisseur who also likes to rock Kick in the Door on the way back from the crag.

 :lol: TNF is my favourite- not quite cool enough for middle-aged mountain blokes, not that cool as “streetwear” either and with a whiff of the 90s about it is basically my niche. They might aim more for a fashion market but their stuff is still technically functional and very easy to find cheap from non-outdoor retailers if you want colours that aren’t sombre enough for the football hooligan/ “urban” market but not madly pattered enough for more posey types.

TNF are trying to be Nike as far as I can see. I’m sure they don’t mind all sorts of people wearing their duds, but that’s a bit different to whom they sponsor and their corporate messaging. Lose a little bit of edginess, gain a few more female customers. Recent collabs with Gucci etc.

He did make quite a good rap video about his book Hate Mail.

I am just being obtuse. Let's not pretend that vast swathes of the sportswear industry (and fashion industry in general) were well aware of the misogyny / glorification of violence in rap lyrics back in the 90s, yet chose to ignore it because of the massive potential to capitalise on the gargantuan purchasing appetite of global rap fans. I imagine anyone advancing to the position of global brand director for an international sportswear brand was perfectly capable of decoding the lyrics of the superstars wearing his / her products on TV yet didn't rush to condemn them.

Actually, TNF seem to be quite a good job of maintaining their original appeal / market whilst exploiting their more recently acquired fanbase. Burberry singularly failed at this by trying to distance themselves from the latter in the early 2000s whilst losing their original core fans in the process.

In case you hadn’t noticed you’re not Shawn Raboutou and no one watches your videos.

Any particular reason to be snide and petty?? Other than perhaps having a problem with someone who likes filming esoteric and off-piste stuff, in a down to earth way, to partly inspire people?? A bit like several other people on here do... If you don't think that's worth anything....then just ignore it.

I don't have a strong opinion on the music myself. It's gangster rap innit? Which is what it is. I don't really care for it.  :shrug:

Seeing as lots of climbers are quite woke, it should be obvious that some people somewhere might get upset. And maybe there would be a backlash that they'd rather avoid?
But remember that these are the guys who came up with a pointless grading system that wiped its arse on 99.99% of climbers. Could it not just be the case that they're thick? Should we expect people who can climb 8C and film it to also be capable of critical thought?

All true. Hardly makes it right though.

In the song he raps about raping someone's mother into unconsciousness, shooting babies, punching a pregnant woman in the stomach, stabbing a gay man, raping someone's father with a broom, and using condoms to rape virgins so he can't be traced. Isn't it completely bizarre that there's even a debate over whether that's acceptable or not?

Much more interesting to me is that he appears to be upgrading it. Even the generous old rocklands guide had it at 8C. Jimmy Webb said proper 8C when he did the 2nd ascent I think but can't recall hearing 8C+ until now?
Also shame you don't get any better angles. For ref Nalle does it at the start of this:

Shark, I'm not sure what is so hard to get about this. I'll try to be clearer.

In my post I was not directly insulting nor belittling Bradders etc. I was mocking the outrage, but this was not specifically targetted at anyone, nor was it denigrating what they do with their climbing nor media output.

T_B's post was directly belittling me and what I do putting out my own wee climbing videos

(Although I do accept this might have been a mis-interpretation his post might have just been a very badly phrased way of saying "But the difference is this is a video of a top climber and will get lots more exposure so the music is more debatable" - hence my speculative retraction of my initial reply, and I stand by that retraction and apologise if so).

I hope that difference is clearer now. If you wish to find me strange because I am very jovial when it comes to mutual banter, heated debate and obviously non-denigrating piss-taking (and FFS, I proudly paint toy soldiers, listen to appalling music, climb choss, wear neon vests, refuse to put pads beneath routes etc etc - god knows there is a lot to piss take about, and time after time I've happily set myself up for that (actually including in the very post in question in this thread!)), BUT I am thin-skinned when it comes to unprovoked personal insults and off-topic snideness, then yes I am that strange.

This is a good point and was partly what I was hinting at before. Rewind 20 years and if a climbing video had showed someone playing Doom whilst resting, or the soundtrack was Cannibal Corpse, would it have got similar outrage?? Maybe, maybe not.

Having said that I watched it without paying any attention to being a TNF video so one could argue they could have a bit more awareness about the music on it - blimey if Bradder's lyrical report is right that's as bad as some of the goregrind I listen to.

Thanks all, very kind. Hopefully see you soon Guy
Andy W - thanks, your videos were a good source of info and inspiration, just a shame I was there the wrong time of year to sample the more coastal stuff (eg Zennor Fool looks great).


I realise now why your beta was often the same as mine  :) particularly the Carn Brea problems.

Nice one for fixing Light Worker, very good problem. How on earth did it ever get 7C+ though?!

In the Copley brothers video about developing some of the problems in the quarry they were talking about using the very small edge up and right of the high sloper to gain the top rather than the jug to the left. This would make the problem a lot harder but would be very eliminate. It is also worth bearing in mind the difference it makes with the holds being really clean. The slopers on the face were previously as green as the rest of the block; this isn't something you can get off with a quick brush. I can imagine it feeling 7C+ when Mike first did it if he only spent 30 minutes on it.

Enjoyed the video Guy, where next?

It looks like there are two problems on UKC, Light Worker and Light Walker. The latter being the original climb that Mike did (going off this video) but also an eliminate (going off the UKC descriptions).

I think that is actually Light Worker (the name in the video is different to the video name). Light Walker is the eliminate that avoids using the arête or the ramp to the left.

Thanks WFT (and sheavi). I had to do MS like that as I couldn't stretch properly onto the sloper, let along the sloper jug - quite an exciting move. It was that weird "dry mist" - there was actually windswept ice fins on a couple of bits of rock and reeds, but the rock itself was bone dry (temp drop IIRC).

Very enjoyable. My only complaint is the butchering of Who Are We by using the static sequence. A great waste of a lovely dynamic move. Nice to see Suggy's Wall get some love though.
I also thought The Mantle was soft but was told by Adi recently that it was done without the footholds to the left. I don't think anybody does it the eliminate way any more though.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on April 12, 2021, 10:06:49 am
Yes the static sequence on Who Are We is deeply wonderful and satisfying and definitely the discerning choice rather than some god-awful lurchy slap.

I intitially presumed that The Mantle did a full on hanging grovel onto the block alone but as soon as I tried it that seemed pointless even by BGFBB standards and the natural way is really fun.

Now this is - hopefully - a bit more fruity than last week's video. It's a bit more underground and has quite a theme (bonus points if you can spot it). Featuring a brilliant new Mark20 problem, a cool new Highrepute problem, a merciless downgrade of a Dolph problem since somehow LiamHutch89 neglected to do this, and some other stuff!

Some good problems there Fiend. You’re climbing well at the moment - and having noticed a few downgrades in your films do you think it may well be - err - because you’re climbing well?
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on April 21, 2021, 09:47:21 pm
Nope. Climbing similar to normal albeit a bit weaker on steep burly stuff. Just finding newer, esoteric stuff where the grade hasn't settled, and trying to correct that. Recently...

Sunset Crack - very near flash in still conditions. Mark20 confirmed it's not really 7A.
Yorkshire Farmer - no surprise that ashtond6's brain is so rotted by trying to support headpointing that he can't grade for toffee. Mike Morrel confirmed it's more like 6C.
Dreamboat Direct - rman graded it 7A, Bonjoy dropped it to 6C including his direct finish. So I'm essentially upgrading the latter. Hacker confirmed "piss for 7A" .
The Mantle - adi gill confirmed the original method was different and harder. I think it's 6C on UKC?
OikSS - tis just easy.
Rivelin It Large - brand new and well below highrepute's usual standard.
Sambucus - upgraded (just a tiny bit harder than Gazelle).
Lessons In Depth - different beta to Dolph (and Liam) on almost every move. No surprise that 6ft (?) 8C climber tell the difference between 7A and 7B. If I put up a 5 then it might well be between 4 and 6A!
Gazelle - again just easy.

P.S. not downstarring *any* of these. Glad you found them looking like good problems, that's what I'm inspired to show  :yes:

I love a downgrade as much as the next man, but Lesson in depth felt 7B to me! Certainly not 7A.The start is quite bunched so maybe that didn't help me at 6'2 and the even taller FA? But I think you're just climbing well to be honest! Really good problem nonetheless.

You do look like you’re going well Fiend! I was also thinking of Eh up el Diablo at Cown that you gave 6B to - and whilst it’s certainly not 7A+ it felt 6C+/7A to me... having done it I was amazed at how well you were moving/leaping between the holds.

Anecdotally, there seem to be a fair few people having good years.  The fruits of Covid19 enforced training? I've done a lot of problems from my own wishlist recently, despite feeling generally tired and ramshackle; the only reason that comes to mind is that WFH allowed more fingerboard and woodie sessions than usual over winter.  Maybe what Thatcher and dance-drugs did for 80s climbing, lockdown has done for this era?

Cheers Will and Wellsy.

T³, that is music to my tinnitus-infused ears, glad that you're inspired, that makes it all worthwhile doing these vids. Also at Baildon the 6C version of Underhere is cool (Will made me do it), and there's a 6C left of The Mantle that is fun if the conditions are good. And I might have something more for you next week...

Liam - interesting stuff. I'm not taking the piss with LID (and put this vid together before watching yours, maybe LID feels harder if you're lapping it, and aren't you a ^7C^ climber anyway??). A bit of context: 7A is my usual max, 7A+ I can pull out of the bag a couple of times a year if they exactly suit me, 7B is effectively beyond me, I've done one in my life when I was at least a stone lighter and it took me 11 hours over 4 sessions in perfect winter connies. LID I nearly did in one very brief session but didn't know you could go for the much better ramp with the right hand (and I ran out of daylight), and I did it in a few goes next session, vest conditions so hardly as crisp as I usually need. I do a lot of 7A aretes and this is just another one (easier than Who Are We, for example).

However, I do take your point about morphology entirely. For me the crux was getting the right heel to stick to slap up to the good ramp. Maybe stiff 6C+ pulling into that from standing but deffo 7A adding in the start moves. If those start moves - slapping into the undercling and sorting feet - are so horribly cramped for the 6 footer that that's now the crux and adds a couple of grades, then fair enough, it can also add an extra star for being joyously easier for the short  :2thumbsup: Maybe we need to get a 5'8"-10" 7A/+ climber on it to confirm.

Anyway I'm sure there's no debate about the quality, even with the mud-slope nearby it climbs really well with great features  :yes:

T² - you haven't seen me on Nyan Cat, or Mr Monster, or Catfoot, or that 6B+ in the trench at Curbar that might as well be 7B+ if you can't reach the holds. Funnily enough the things I can't do rarely get on my videos. Eh Up Diablo is just yarding between buckets, it wouldn't get 6C even in Lancashire, but maybe it's harder for the longer gentleman to keep their limbs within the eliminate rules?? I now realise this is "the weird quarry near Glossop" you were telling me about a year ago. Incidentally the 7A+ right of EUD looks very cool and infinitely harder than, say, LID, even for the gaston fan.

I now realise this is "the weird quarry near Glossop" you were telling me about a year ago. Incidentally the 7A+ right of EUD looks very cool and infinitely harder than, say, LID, even for the gaston fan.

As we all know, grades are just weird. My benchmark for vertical 7B is Ben's groove at Caley, which I first did around a year ago quite quickly (having had a hopeless session another year prior as a sub 7A climber). LID felt about the same difficulty as Ben's groove and took around 5 or 6 proper tries.

One thing I've noticed when climbing a problem at my limit is i'm more likely to figure out the absolute best sequence for me, and muscle memory helps significantly when returning on another day. If the problem is a few grades lower than my max and I have a bit of strength in reserve, I might just start cranking on whatever feels like it will work. Clearly this will make the harder stuff feel easier and the easier stuff feel harder.

In fact all the hardest stuff I've climbed actually felt quite easy on the successful go. Not too long ago I managed to float up Cuddles at Caley on my 2nd try of the day, then went to repeat horn rib which is 4 grades lower, vaguely similar in style, and took me more than 10 goes!

If you get back to woolley edge, the arete on Barrel House is good! I thought 6C+

Painted Devil? Yes - spent a load of time on that and figured it was only possible using the ramp on the right for feet (which really spoils it and turns it into a bridging and undercut off little edges/sidepulls problem) - the only pic of someone on it (UKC) has someone doing just that. Its had no repeats (logbook wise) either - so suspect I'm not the only person to scratch their heads. Whilst looking at that, I did a line in between the two taking the big flake as a gaston thats got some good climbing in it, and felt fairly hard 7A+ to me... (ended up being called Lou Cypher - on my youtube stuff if you're interested...)

Cool, next winter I'll get on Ben's Groove and for that matter The Rib, First Arete, and Fight On Black and see how quickly they go in a brief session  :lol:

(Actually kinda spoilt that already by having two sessions on FOB including one in conditions so amazing I didn't realise I'd worn all my skin away during 20 - 30 attempts, as I was, unusually, barely sweating. FOB seems slightly similar to LID except you've got LH pebbles instead of a massive undercling, smears instead of good footholds, tiny RH slopers instead of a big ramp...).

TT - Painted Devil Direct (which tbh from my armchair didn't look like 7A+) is the king line project to go then...

Your beard is wrong!!! I'm climbing well for me, i.e. 7A in a session-ish in good conditions if it suits me. I haven't miraculously jumped 2 grades.

T3 - 5'8" / +1"AI. 80kg.
Power to weight and height to weight both terrible. Flexibility so-so. Technique okay. Gastons and rockovers good (heavy legs have a bit of oomph in them). Session tactics good. Conditions fussiness great. Hold cleaning skills exemplary.

Liam - interesting stuff. I'm not taking the piss with LID (and put this vid together before watching yours, maybe LID feels harder if you're lapping it, and aren't you a ^7C^ climber anyway??). A bit of context: 7A is my usual max, 7A+ I can pull out of the bag a couple of times a year if they exactly suit me, 7B is effectively beyond me, I've done one in my life when I was at least a stone lighter and it took me 11 hours over 4 sessions in perfect winter connies. LID I nearly did in one very brief session but didn't know you could go for the much better ramp with the right hand (and I ran out of daylight), and I did it in a few goes next session, vest conditions so hardly as crisp as I usually need. I do a lot of 7A aretes and this is just another one (easier than Who Are We, for example).

However, I do take your point about morphology entirely. For me the crux was getting the right heel to stick to slap up to the good ramp. Maybe stiff 6C+ pulling into that from standing but deffo 7A adding in the start moves. If those start moves - slapping into the undercling and sorting feet - are so horribly cramped for the 6 footer that that's now the crux and adds a couple of grades, then fair enough, it can also add an extra star for being joyously easier for the short  :2thumbsup: Maybe we need to get a 5'8"-10" 7A/+ climber on it to confirm.

Anyway I'm sure there's no debate about the quality, even with the mud-slope nearby it climbs really well with great features  :yes:

Cheers for the vid psyche Fiend! You’re going well. LID felt 7a+ to me (5’ 10”). Don’t think it’s 7a. Really enjoyed it. The left arête of the wall is great too. Thought Gazelle was a bit average and probably about 6c+. Good circuit.

The latest arthouse beta video from our resident orc lord.

Discussion points:

1. What is more offensive, that Fiend should come to my patch so many times without calling on me to pay tribute/stroke my cat/invite me to come and heckle him, or that he should spend four sessions at Gilstead. Tough one.

2. I did Photo Finish on a lamp session during the whole Stay Local thing and it was at first quite perplexing. Then Penny pointed out a hold that I'd missed which is the undercut that you move RH to after the gaston - except it also works well holding the top of it as a crimp and pinching the bottom with your thumb. I might have been able to do this off lower feet than you, but I'd say if you can get the gaston then you'd also be able to reach that crimp. This might explain why it felt tough?

3. Pull, Pocket, Pond (to give it its correct name) is a great flash. I did it first in fading light (maybe condensing connies) in 2018 and found it hard, then repeated it in May last year and thought that it felt 6C or 6C+. It looks steady, but there's something about those crimps that makes them feel really greasy! I wonder whether the pond on top feeds water down into the buttress or something?

4. The comment in the video caption is a bit misleading I think. Ruin Bank is a pretty extensive bit of rock; a 2km edge with multiple buttresses and boulders along it. The western end, where the problem in the video is, is the most popular bit as there is good concentration of nice problems there. These look green and grubby, but actually stay remarkably clean and don't take as long to dry in winter as you might think. They get a surprising amount of traffic from the locals and it's a bit of an oddity in Yorkshire, being quarried/crimpy but also good. The best highballs there (Italian Bounce and Addio Arete) have slightly slopey tops that need to be checked before committing, but this shouldn't require anything more than brushing off any needles that have fallen onto the slopers that you use going over the top. I'd hate for anyone to be put off going. Things do get a bit dirtier as you go east, but bits like the Neolithic Walls and the Yorkshire Traverse block stay clean. I need to go and clean some of the eastern stuff but got a bit sidetracked by developing some new blocks at the far eastern end.

The latest arthouse beta video from our resident orc lord.

Sigh, beaten to it. Still at least he called me an orc :-*

So yes that's some RARELY REPEATED Yorkshire stuff and it's my favourite collection yet - personal challenges, exuberant celebrations, and a variety of climbing from roadside highballing, moorland pebble-pulling, woodland crimping and urban roofs. And as an added bonus it features not one not two but 3 suggested upgrades (and some lengthy waffle in the description).

Photo Finish - I'd fondled that crimp / sloping pinch on a few occasions that I'd managed to get matched on the gaston thing and my overriding impressions were 1. it was so terrible that I was struggling even to use it to oppose the LH layback, and 2. even if by some miracle I'd managed to reach it from below, I'd be so stretched out diagonally rightwards that I'd not be able to release my left hand. I suspect I found it tough because it's bloody tough and a grade harder than LID. Also the four sessions at Gilstead have been spread out and I got a bit obsessed with it. PPP was cool and it was quite flukey I didn't ping off those crimps. Ruin Bank sorry yeah didn't mean to put people off, the stuff there does look good overall and would warrant more attention. I'd go back in a cold / dry snap.

It is without question a much busier wee corner of the Highlands.

New eliminate traverse Helsby, Asymptomatic, somewhere around f6B.

Just downstairs from one of the existing buttresses - I've sat on it a while as someone's done a ton of cleaning last year, but seems in no hurry to go public. The main traverse is great going from burly to fingery and back to steady. This is more obscure, on little dinks underneath. Note legitimate sketchy FA footwork and dodgy tree-cam crop.

Makes me happy there's stuff for very average punters to uncover :)

That's the one. Fly and Left Pocket are just out of sight further right. Starting far right makes for a decent long traverse, finishing in the same spot. Andy - if you'd looked you'd likely have thought 'too much effort to clean', I started...

Haha. Touché. It's surely one of the most obscure bouldering areas possible in mainland UK. It's bloody miles from anywhere (and a long walk) unless you happen to be up at Durness. That said, because of the NC 500 it was absolutely crawling with camper vans up there, and loads of people who are outdoor enthusiasts. Ben Moon himself was camping 4 tents away from us on a family surfing holiday when we were there. Didn't manage to get him climbing, but he did show us a great spot to fish for Mackerel!

Good write up on your blog. I'll let you off with the downgrade - A - I'm pretty poor both at climbing and grading slabs, B - It was bloody ages ago, I'm not even sure bouldering grades were a thing at the time, the the grade will have been a retro-fitted tech grade at some point down the line.

If I can get a spare weekend day at some point I'll probably go check out the slab, and might as well have a meander round the wood while I'm at it.

Ed - slab is in the trees but a detached block so no drainage. Any form of Westerly to Nor-Easterly breeze is good. If it is damp then Netherton is 5 mins drive / 5 mins walk and West Nab 10 mins drive / 10 mins walk (or Standing Stones 15 / 20)

Anyway, it's not hard to avoid publicisation of cool problems away from the main Ilkley honeypots because there's hardly any apart from the useful Unknownchoss.com guides, so there's a tiny wee thing to rectify that.

I was just bantering Cheque up, somewhat ironically given he's the original down-to-earth footage genuine activity climber with his labour-of-love films and I'd rather watch Stonnis on repeat than accidentally see even a single thumbnail of Mitbobat MacFarlane.

Anyway, the point is, there's some great stuff a bit off-piste in the Ilkley area, worth a look even if you're coming from further afield than Bingley. The rock at High Crag / Swastika Stones is shockingly good by the usual low standards of Yorkshire, when dry (a scenario which might only occur in many months time), it's a pity I injured myself before exploring more there.

Of course you know that I'm not slagging off anyone publicising their climbing (which I devour a lot of) per se, but instead slagging off particular methods and subject matters that I find crass and irritating - number focused clickbait hype about stuff that is common or mundane, often with excess editing (or occasionally no effort for clarity). And for that matter, the disproportionate attention that such stuff can get irrespective of quality or interest, for reasons that are still bewildering to me (are portrait videos of indoor V4s really that desirable?? Actually I don't want to know)... Whilst stuff like, say, Dave Mason's videos get little attention despite quality hard problems, and Laney30ii still isn't in any grit climber's bookmarks as it damn well should be.

Awww, Scouse, cheers.

Some lovely climbing at Pots and Pans Quarries in the Chew Valley, Saddleworth. 'Quarry' is misleading for these lines, which were either on natural rock or didn't climb like typical quarried grit. Well worth a visit if you are Manchester based, a lovely setting.

Thanks Liam. Yetix was also waffling on to me about "blah blah you could do 7B blah Fiend" (as if I haven't been trying really hard and solidly plateauing at 7A - and the occasional very lucky once-a-year 7A+ - for 2 decades now....). He hushed up a bit when I told him "why do I need to fail on 7Bs when I can just as easily fail on 7As I can't touch - like Northern Soul that I spent 15+ goes unable to do even the first move, right in the middle of the day when I was the best warmed up / not-fatigued, or Emyr's Arete in similar conditions which had two moves I couldn't get near even in isolation, but could imagine possibly doing with a multi-month siege and specific training"  :lol:

Pretty sure the stuff I managed quickly in the video was ultra-soft / cheating conditions, but still great fun climbing on an amazing hillside.

Did you post here about going up to Mallory or was that Bradders?? (I get confused with tall strong people from Leeds area, apart from Will who stands out in his own very particular way), either way it sounded like a great trip.

Have you not found a 7B ish problem that inspires enough to be worth a few sessions? Not for the sake of the grade, but in my experience, climbing harder problems than what i've done previously has often brought more interesting/subtle/complex movement with it. I wouldn't worry about not being able to tick every problem at a grade before considering yourself able to climb things above that level; I'm sure there's a a slab out there somewhere waiting to shut me down that's a number grade below my max.

It wasn't me who wrote about the Mallory boulder but it's a great bit of rock in a lovely spot and the walk in isn't even that bad. I've got a board replica now for the problem 'Will' so i'll be back after my next goal climbing mesocycle  :guilty:

I agree, that's why I'm always pushing myself when my body allows (and, it seems, a bit too often when it doesn't). I don't tend to go for many multi-session / multi-year sieges though, as I get bored, and at the moment there's far too much choice of things that have all those benefits but are a bit more likely to be doable.

I don't worry - I try many things above that level, it's just the happen to have the same grade as that level  :whistle:

Luke - the idea of me being able to lock off that razor crimp that deep :lol: Even from the better duo pocket above, the next holds seemed to be in a different postcode (and the other move was bumping from the razor to the duo). I do need to work on the interesting, subtle and complex movement of drop knees a bit more though  ::). Dulyn you kinda need a spotter more than you need lots of pads - good landings but a big drop off behind them. You also need some VS 4b scrambling top-out skillz but the setting alone is worth it. P.S. Nice crisp quality on your vid, always useful.

Northern soul is also quite hard, too much time on the 30 and not enough time on feet follow hands maybe ;)

from JB BITD on this thread (https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?topic=8064.0)
Geologically speaking, these grits are much closer to the Cilan grits and a long way from the Carboniferous 'Millstone' grits of the pennines. Be aware that although we bandy around the term grit all the time what we are actually referring to is a specific group of deposits linked by age and area and, crucially as we are talking about sedimentary rocks, the origin of the sediments. The particle size may be the same but if the particles didn't coming from the right range of now denuded mountains, the rock ain't going to be the same. This helps explain why our pennine grits seem to be pretty much unique worldwide.
Title: Re: Non-Quality Bouldering Videos
Post by: Fiend on July 25, 2022, 03:24:11 pm
I predicted that some pedantic cockweasel would get their nappy in a twist about that, which is partly why I made the "gritstone" bit extra clear this time  :2thumbsup:

One might be able to go through some convoluted geological nitpicking to investigate why Rhinog gritstone "isn't" gritstone, which wouldn't change the fact that it's scarcely any different to average grit than Slipstones is to Ramshaw or Woodhouse is to Cratcliffe, and that it's a lovely, unscrittly rock to climb on (albeit not with as pure formations as Pennine gritstone).

Ah no, now you see Gritstone is a Protected Designation of Origin applying to certain sandstones found south of Wensleydale, west of the A1/M1, north of Carsington Water, and east of the Forest of Bowland.

According to appellation contrôlée regulations.

Lil video I pulled together from a recent trip to Magic Wood. I have tried to stimulate a bit of a conversation in the description about how climbers can start looking after climbing areas, I was quite shocked at the state of Magic Wood, it felt more akin to going to a climbing wall rather than a magical forest in a beautiful location (like it was 10 or so years ago). Wecolme thoughts/opinions.

Nice vid and sadly very true about Magic Wood. Was back there this April for the first time in about 5 years and it seemed even worse than Albarracin for excessive chalk, litter, heavily eroded 'paths' - more like the entire hillside was scraped bare, and crazy busy (I guess because Magic Wood is such a compact area). Was straight back to Brione and Chironico the next day.
There's certainly more that people can do to be considerate and conscientious about nature/the outdoors but to some extent I wonder if it's just a bit inevitable at venues that are easy to access as climbing gets way more popular... maybe that's too defeatist an outlook though!

I've also never been but would like to in the future. The combination of soft for the grade, great scenery and forgiving rock makes it an ideal holiday destination.

My thoughts:

1. If people want to raise the issue of how knackered everything is then post videos of the hordes of punters, tick marks, stashed pads, trashed trails and make it look like the epicentre that is the Everest circus with an Attenborough voice over combo. Don't post a video about problems I've seen countless times making the place look wonderful.

2. Go for the Hueco pass system (without needing the guide)/ max day pass. If you're serious about preservation this will push people to the other areas of Swiss. With the massive rise of instagram/ youtube lead climbing it was inevitable Magic Wood would get trashed.

3. Less nuclear than 2 - set up some kind of project/ shack that's free to stay at, but those staying have to do preservation work/ crag cleaning. Though this will probably be knackering for your days off climbing! Like laying the path at Almscliff. I don't have a van so this would appeal to me and you'd be giving back to climbing.

If the cool people didn't want their nice crag getting clogged up with uncool people they shouldn't have made all those cool videos of cool people climbing there.

And they should have called it Lorry Park Woods or Sheep Dip Boulders or The Razorstones.

The obvious solution is for the cool people to make some cool videos of people climbing at currently uncool crags. That will have a much bigger effect than a guidebook because nobody actually uses guidebooks any more.

Glad it sparked a bit of conversation. I am not pretending I have the answers, I certainly don’t but I thought stimulating a bit of a debate might provide some solutions.

Would be really interesting to know how other sectors where honeypot sites are an issue have dealt with it. I guess we are experiencing this a lot in the UK with our limited access to green spaces.

On the point about videos promoting areas, fair point and I agree. I guess I feel a some level of responsibility (which I kind of elude to in my foreword of Grit Blocs) and feel like I would like to contribute positively in some way.

Agree. There are some absolutely amazing crags that are not popular at all. Some of my favourite crags in the world with amazing quality routes, having climbed in enough places that I think I can make judgements on quality, are almost completely deserted.

Sorry I was only thinking of bouldering and particularly in the UK. With the embarrassment of riches of euro lime, I’m sure it’s easily possible for amazing crags to drop off the collective radar to the advantage of those who like a bit of peace and quiet!

Post by: spidermonkey09 on December 01, 2022, 08:47:42 am
I think with bouldering its probably more accurate to say that there are some absolutely amazing *problems*, even in the UK, which are not popular at all. But there might only be one good problem at the crag and the rest of it (if any) is rubbish. Picking an example off the top of my head with no actual evidence, the 7A highball on the front of the Lakes bouldering guide looks amazing, but I don't think it gets done much and from memory there isn't a lot else there?

Apart from Dumby which has a healthy scene, all bouldering venues are effectively deserted most of the time in Scotland.

Likewise I’m sure there are tonnes of amazing bouldering venues in Alaska that are deserted!

As much as I’d love to be able to pop to Torridon for a quick session after work the 18 hour round trip precludes it somewhat 😄

I think most people with more than a passing interest in bouldering know about the quality of the bouldering in the more far flung bits of the UK, and I would say the SW England and Highlands and Islands bouldering venues rate among the ‘coolest’ we have, but unfortunately (or fortunately if you’re a local) they are not accessible on a regular basis to the majority of the population.

On a busy weekend I've heard Torridon can draw up to a dozen people, some of who might actually not know each other :)

I'd also go so far as to say peace and quiet combined with quality in the Northern Counties is quite easily achieved by a walk of about 20-30 minutes or more.

Acephale (only moderately busy, but mostly locals tbf)

Anyway, I'm increasingly convinced that honeypotting isn't so bad since at least it means there are plenty of good places to go that aren't a shit show. Everyone should keep going to Margalef, Siurana and Magic and leave everywhere else alone (the locals I've chatted to at other venues also seem quite keen on this, unsurprisingly!)

I don’t see any conflict between those two posts!

There’s a difference between the busyness of crags, which can vary for a number of reasons from them being shit to them being remote, and the coolness of crags, which is entirely independent of their busyness.

Uncool crags are uncool because they are shit though.

Uncool and shit are two parts of a Venn diagram. They overlap, but not entirely.

Some venues will always be popular because they are good and accessible. What drives trends to other places is partly which cool people have made videos about a place lately. See Sutty and Great Wolfrey/Ash Head.

Vids of slightly more esoteric venues deffo pique the interests of a few, but I’d argue that this does little to reduce pressure on the honeypots as the effect is temporary and a for a minority of the climbing population.

I’ve been to pretty much every sector at Montsant and there’s a reason Raco de Missa is the one everyone goes to. Not that any of them are shit, but there just isn’t the same concentration of quality routes. Each one is a great crag if you live there and have the time to explore, or done everything at Raco de Missa. But if you’re on a trip for only a couple of weeks then especially if you’re combining it with Siurana and/or Margalef I can see why people don’t bother going anywhere but that one sector. Also doesn’t help that most of them have different approaches so you can’t combine a couple in a day very easily.

I was planning to start a new thread once I’ve had time to put something together, but happy for it to be split if that’s best.

Dunno about best guidebooks these days. I moved back in 2014, and before that was using the local definitive one. So some of the places I was going won’t be in POD’s guide.

Enjoyed that. What’s with all the rubbish everywhere in the undergrowth?

fly tipping from nearby construction sites i guess - currently way worse than i've seen it before sadly

The JABP at Minus Ten

Proper gnarl. I remember trying once years ago. Seemed desperate at the time, much more than Johnny G 7C for instance, another limestone one mover. Does it compare to any of the Lancs vert stuff?

Had a play with a more vlog type vid yesterday for the first time rather than mashing together clips with a soundtrack in the background - might do this more often to try and capture a bit more about some of the lines and history of them too:

https://youtu.be/jdYCRAgmW_c
Cracking wee problem. I like the run-through of it and the multiple angles of climbing it. Nice to have a bit of context although was a bit long for me with some of the filler footage (apart from the very end  ;) )

I agree its a fair bit harder than the Johnny G 7C. It might be the hardest single move I've done. A sandbag at 7C, my vote would be 7C+ tbh. Went from unable to pull on to eventually sticking it over a period of 20 years! I haven't tried any of the Lancs Vert Stuff but see that Walk Away 8B seems a similar problem, would be keen to try that at some point.

Only Greg that Im aware of (pretty sure that hidden UKC tick is him). I wonder whether Varian has had a tickle? I can imagine it hiding somewhere in that enormous ticklist of his.

Fairly believable imo, given it's had repeats and seems to be in the right ball park grade wise. As far as Im aware the stuff with big question marks (shadowplay for example) generally hasn't had any repeats and seems completely whack grade wise.

There is a nice Ray Wood picture of John on the sit in Boulder Britain 1. If memory serves, he is in the most outrageous position which broke my brain trying to understand how he got into or out of.

Hasn't Mike Adams done the stand too? I seem to remember reading somewhere that he was trying the sitter at one point. I am sure Blackpool Sam has put time into it too, but I am not sure whether he did it.

It's actually in Crete, the rock is similar to but definitely less good than Torbay limestone.

Not to forget the spectacular haircut!

That's because Crete is closer to the equator so the horizon is more downhill.
I think the dodgy camera angling actually makes it look slabbier rather than steeper though!

Genuinely didn't think this one would go this year but lucked out with conditions between showers. It is one of three or four king-lines in a new area I'm developing. I was reticent about putting it up on-line as its still a work in progress but a few close friends and i have been really struggling this year battling through depression/anxiety etc etc and this was one to be thankful for.

A 15 minute video of new and old boulder problems that a few mates and I climbed this winter. All within one hour drive from Leeds.

There's a mix of footage that I filmed myself, phone clips supplied by others and even some fancy aerial shots from my mates drone. This was my first proper go at editing a video so it's a pretty poor edit, but I had fun and learnt a lot for the next one!

I missed the pads many times on many problems this winter, including the Golden Shot! Unfortunately, I didn't get 'send footage' on that problem (and some others), so used editing trickery instead. This is partly why I kept the hardest problem uncut, so there's at least some evidence of me actually climbing things!  :lol:

No not a South African connection but from my old boss at Raasay Outdoor Centre, it's a from a Doric phrase " Gee her Tambo Loon "{in reference to Tambourine and the Salvation Army}  roughly translates as "Give it your all, youth" or hit the Tambourine harder.

Good to see a few of these on film - particularly the full Pinky traverse, which I've fallen off the end of more times than I care to remember! I think what you've called Rachael's Box is actually Rachael's Box Variation and what you've called Rachael's Box Eliminate is the original Rachael's Box (or at least that's how I did them back in the day). If you could go and get a film of Triangular Roof on the same block and show me how it's possible at 6C+ that would be much appreciated!

I'm pretty sure Yorkshire Grit vol. 1 describes Rachael's Box this way too

for Triangular Roof beta see 15:15 here

(although I must say, I tried it this way and it still felt nails for 6C+)

Yep, tried that and couldn’t do it. In fact, I think I remember asking on here before and you posting the same video! My guess is that the 6C+ version was lost in translation and is maybe the same as the LH version of Rachael’s Box, although still pretty harsh at 6C+.

Such a shame the campsite has now closed. Was a brilliant family spot.

Also I think someone needs to highlight the access to the promontory more, it was way scarier than I expected getting down the descent and clambering over the wedged blocks. I chose to do two separate trips the second time to get my pads over rather than feeling unbalanced trying to carry two full size pads.

Brilliant problems and stunning spot though (especially when the sun is setting over the sea), can't wait to get back up there.

Mmmmmm im a little conflicted by it being closed, the area is clearly regenerating after misuse so maybe it was the best thing longterm.

I agree completetly, its a well dodgy "downclimb" and scramble just to get to the blocs. Do Not hurt yourself here or its a Mountain rescue/lifeboat callout and a long wait for a Helicopter to Raigmore in Inverness.

I understand why and am totally fine with it being shut especially as the last time I was there some of the use of the land was poor. People having fires in the evening, driving to spots clearly not open for camping and large motorhomes dumping grey water...

It is such a shame for me personally though as I have great memories playing in the sea and on the beach with the kids, getting dinner and putting them into bed before getting a couple of hours bouldering in on my own at sunset whilst the wife relaxed with wine and a book back at the campervan.

Had some amazing trips there too, bouldering on the beach, climbing on the crags, and surfing great waves at Oldshoremore (one while Simon Nadin was soloing above them). Long drive back to Aberdeen after active weekends and crap night sleeping in a tent.

Don't know how to make it much clearer. The guide says "To access the boulders, you need to down-climb or belay down
the steep slab. The climbing is very easy, but the drop is rather daunting." That infers you have to climb in, not walk. Any suggestions.

For what it is worth, I really don't find it that bad. The rock is super secure and there are tonnes of massive hand/footholds. My legendary old dog Minnie could do it by herself, so it can't be that bad :) See 18m42 - https://vimeo.com/232680933

Yes, it's true. It's on the to do list.

Everything worthwhile I've done is documented on my recent youtube videos. Tomnomnom made a really nice video a couple years ago with some cool stuff (the new things are mostly at Rispond though). The only other new thing I can think of is Cold Steel SS by Calum Cunningham....

Aye Robbie, i agree its very clear in your guide but many folk use UKC only or bits and bobs they have scraped together or forget that its a wee bit hairy getting down.

So i suppose we are just reminding folk of that particular hazard, still worth getting down to ;D

Sorry for my poor language in the original post I wasn't inferring the guidebook information was the problem, I knew what I was getting myself in for. Just was trying to highlight to others that it does require care and can easily catch you out if you have had a chilled day with the family at the beach and then head across to the bouldering, the change of pace and the seriousness of the situation was quite a shock!

Thanks once again for all the guides/videos that you do put out, they are a great resource for someone like myself who only gets to head to Northwest once a year on a family holiday.

In which case, you go more often than me! :) Heading up this summer for the first time in 2 years (which is also why the guide is out of date).

I'll try to make it clearer on the UKC page that the approach is quite serious.

Dolly and I did this a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed it.
I went back to do it again and it was still fun.
Start as for Huggy low start (sit if you are that sort of person) and move left to stand on the foot ledge of the slab.
Something like Font 6A.
I assume that lots of people have done this, but it is worth doing if you are in the area.

Was lucky enough to spend 5 weeks in Font recently and put together a little film from it. Nothing fancy, but wanted to show off some of the boulders we climbed that trip as we spent a lot of time in some of the lesser travelled areas and thought there might be some for others to go and try on trips!

I grew up a few minutes from Ladye Bay and feel like I spent most of my childhood exploring among the jumbled blocks and along the foreshore towards Portishead. Once I'd found climbing I began seeing it with different eyes.

I think I've only ever been back once since we left Clevedon when I was 16, so it's lovely to see this.

After getting a bit burnt out on endlessly projecting hard boulders, I switched things up this year, gave up on caring about grades (forced at first, but now I genuinely have no interest in them), and tried to document the highlights in this video. It's hard putting out a video which predominantly features myself as it feels egotistical, but I've tried to tell a story and hopefully inspire others to try something new (the bits of narration were particularly hard work but I've been persuaded to keep them in...). It also features a couple of mates (Garry Lister and Chris Locke) who've been interested in climbing similar things at times.

It's just under half an hour long. If you decide to give it a go, do me a favour and watch with decent resolution and audio  :)

Thanks for the nice feedback. I'll probably do a few more ground up ascents, but personally I get more from the harder climbing on headpoints. We both did Massive Attack for our first pull on of the day, straight over pads. That's allegedly E5, but it felt pretty trivial in comparison to the others. Although it's an amazing line with nice moves, it wasn't that memorable for me. The other routes required a process, which to me is more appealing. Horses for courses and all that.

Saying this, I have been considering a flash attempt on Deathwatch... It's scary, but looks like fairly basic crimp pulling.

ps. I still like training  :)

Another amazing trip to Sheigra. Perfect weather, and loads of new problems. Ace!
That's a hell of a haul, nice one, some great looking lines there, especially the 6C-ish vert. I could feel my skin tearing off imagining the coarse sandstone.

It's actually amazingly skin friendly. I climbed 4 out of 5 days in the last week with no issues. The Gneiss is very well weather (with a few sharp pockets here and there), and the sandstone/conglomerate is generally really tough/compact so doesn't rely on friction. Not very many slopers up there. It all helps to make it a great summer venue.

So many 6s to get on up there now. And many, many more to find. We barely ventured from our usual spots and still found loads of new things to play on. Amazing fun.

Aaaaah, reminds me of some early trips - haven't been a on good old team bouldering holiday in years!

Not sure I'll make it through the howl thing - too much on. Couple of things I picked up - while I quite like the old-skool vibe of the sketchy camera work in a way, after about 10 minutes it gets a bit grating. Most phones these days have some kind of motion stabilisation so I'm amazed you managed to...achieve that effect ;-)

Was the "holding can of over-caffeinated sugary drink company-esque drink" at the start ironic? Hope so....

I think for a "mates" video, it's fine being full length as you probably want to keep the memories, but I'd say it would be a bit more engaging and watchable if there were fewer angles and multiple people doing the same problems, and a bit more story to get you hooked in?  After a while I just started to not care much and then stopped and came back here to post this...

The over-caffeinated sugary drink was our bid to secure a tenzing-esque sponsorship by winning the favour of a Swiss alternative. Any good bouldering pro at the moment seems to be drinking SOME kind of placebo-juice

found myself a bit of a king line here (probably the coolest looking bloc i've ever found):

https://youtu.be/eoK-Kthg-XM

this was bloc i found whilst exploring the HK hillsides during my post-surgery no climbing time earlier in the year - good to have got back to it now the weather is cooling down a bit out here.

Need a return trip to sort out a small platform beneath the sit so you don't slide down the hill and also see if i can clear the top a bit more so you can stay on the knife blade arête a bit longer.

P.S the name is a nod to the area the bloc is located in (near Diamond Hill)

It was proper squeaky bum time on that barn door, I imagine he would have landed in the jumble of rocks if he hadn’t had caught it.

Also nice crouch start  :lol: back around! I’ve done the sit moves off a single pad and had to add a move into the crimp, so if a complete punter like me can do that it continues to baffle me as to why all the wads crouch start it?

Are we arguing that the sit start makes it harder (in which case I agree) or that it doesn't change the grade? If the latter then who cares, just start on the obvious holds from a stand/crouch rather than doing a rubbish, potentially height dependent sit move.

Bit harsh and uncalled for.

That said, videos are all well and good, but I've had several recent experiences where I've been trying things with either simply no videos, or where the only ones out there feature a climber with such different morphology their beta is totally worthless to me. It's taken longer to figure things out, but doing so has been a properly joyful experience each time. Just yesterday I was trying something with only a couple of videos of very tall people available and finally landed on a sequence, after 2 full sessions of puzzling, with not a single move being the same as the videos. I couldn't wipe the smile off my face!

The other thing is that finding beta which works for you optimally is a real skill, which you can only really acquire through practice. In the short term it's obviously quicker to find a video and then do that beta even if it's not perfect, but in the long run I think you'll be a better climber if you learn to figure things out for yourself.

For myself, I like to try something and then if I can't do it, watch videos, then try it again. It's just like watching other climbers in real life. The last three problems I've done (Bad Habits, Alpha and Mermaid) all used quite different beta from what was in the videos but I think I learnt from watching nonetheless. As much as anything, I learnt how I'm probably climbing around weaknesses that I could rectify a bit by working on them.

The trickiest problem I've ever managed (Ben's roof many years ago) was done by slavishly following Leah Crane's video. It totally was the opposite from what I was being told and shown by people at the crag. They said to tighten up the core and step feet along at all times. Leah flops and swings gibbon style.

I was struck by, and thought it notable, that Jakob Schubert, one of the best climbers in the world, chose to say at two points in that interview how much video watching contributed to him.

I couldn't say I really know any top climbers, but at the crag, people like Steve McClure, Ben Moon and Will Bosi appear to be motivated by a love of climbing. Perhaps they don't post videos with the intention of helping/inspiring other people's climbing -I haven't a clue. But it does, and I'm thankful for that and even more so for those posting videos of easy problems/routes I might climb.

So no, posting bouldering videos isn't just about showing off. It is providing a valuable resource for the community. Thanks to everyone who contributes to that.
All the more reason to post half-decent ones in terms of angles and edits and lack of bullshit, and to NOT FUCKING DAB :lol:

How about unclimable, unrepeatable chos with dated tunes and bad climbing?

Also decided to add in a Dab reel at the end of every vid from now on just to create content for UKB  ;D

Pretty proud of this one, the craziness day of climbing I've ever witnessed, a couple Polish Wads being wads on a scary mega highball and 2 move power problem

(Also a nice cat)

Quite happy with this, a collection of some Central Belt problems I've managed to get on film

Somehow yeah! Missed the pads completely and rolled backwards all the way down to the start of pongo sit. Took a few days to recover from the whiplash but otherwise walked away unscathed.
