Got some amusing video clips of me failing in spectacular fashion on problems I've already done and am doing again for a video.
I'm sure there are loads more out there. Post up for a laugh

[GCW]

Always fancied trying the Sheriff.
A Woodhouse meet may be in order if it ever stops raining!!

[thustler]

Finally some red baron beta!     






On reflection its probably best to ignore

[magpie]

I bet I could find something for this thread.  The only videos I have of me climbing are falling off ones. 

I like the second one Jim, very elegant landing 

[SA Chris]

I like the first one. Getting an excited kangaroo to hold the camera is an interesting twist

[Jaspersharpe]

Top standard! Great idea for a thread. We need more spectacular failures (racks brain about what incriminating evidence lagers may have..........).

Seeing the hams of justice in action is enough to reduce any man or woman to a quivering wreck. Plus I was furiously masturbating.

[Jim]

Sherrif is a path.
I'll post a vid of me and worm doing red baron in the crap climbing vids unless you want to start a thread in the beta forum.
Its quite powerfull but fine when you know what your doing ie. you don't try and campus the first move

[lagerstarfish]

You've seen it before, but not on Vimeo. How not to top out.

[dobbin]

This is a great idea for a thread. I have some genius video of the other member of hommezone failing on vitruvian man in Chironico, but its part of a bigger vid. I started trying to use windows movie maker to chop out the relevant bit but my computer threw a whitey and I went to the tor in disgust. Might try and sort it out this weekend. Then again, its the weekend and I have better things to do.

[Jaspersharpe]

Fuck I'd forgotten how funny that video of John was. He was at it again the other week. Stylishly despatching the hardest thing he's ever managed before making a total bellyflop nightmare of the 1A finishing mantel.

[SA Chris]

great clip. Need to find some clips of a friend of ours we took to font, for her first outdoor climbing experience. Similar results, only slightly more elegant.

[Plattsy]

Many "How not to's" here

[GCW]

Until I get the camcorder back, this'll have to do...

[cowboyhat]

That John guy 'topping out' just made me laugh til my stomach hurt.

[lagerstarfish]

That John guy 'topping out' just made me laugh til my stomach hurt.

During that week in Font our nights were spent watching the days footage. This became known as The Autopsy and had us crying with laughter until it hurt. John's commentry from behind the camera is as funny as his performance in front of it. I must get round to using some of that...

Rare footage of me failing to cruise a problem

that fall was pretty bad.

[neil h]

holly shit, that had to hurt


but what a pair of idiots for climbing all that shit rock in the first place............

[neil h]

how not to do vin rouge at isatis

[Averageman]

Hmm   

[neil h]

Hmm   

hmmm what

[GCW]

Technique.  Style.  Hat.  Power.  Erm:

[Averageman]

Hmm   

hmmm what

you have destroyed my anonymity, thanks Neil.   

[neil h]

mmmmmmmm average man, average man productions, it aint rocket science to work out


anyways me old son ratings, its all about ratings. 

[lagerstarfish]

No actual falling, but definitely not how to do it.
Very similar to GCW's film above  has he been learning from my amazing technique?

[lagerstarfish]

you have destroyed my anonymity, thanks Neil.   

The only Andy V I can think of is very short. However, The Viper is a xenophobe and wouldn't be caught on film in another country. You'll still be Averageman to me, dude.

[neil h]

This is def not how to climb
A fantastic route at JA Martin,

I would however recomend you take a spotter or two, and make sure the top holds are actually dry

For all that know the problem you know how shit the landing is and how small a target the landing zone is

Its the first time I have been scared on a boulder for a long time


enjoy

[grumpycrumpy]

Nice video , found myself willing you on near the end .....

[Stubbs]

Technique.  Style.  Hat.  Power.  Erm:

Amazing! DBS looks really hard if you are tall - you don't get to say that very often!

[Duma]

Effort Neil! I've looked at this twice, bottled it both times - now I've seen you drop off successfully I might have to go back.


Might.

I must admit I was a tad scared at the fall, but once I ttok the fall, I dried the top holds and went straight for it, still scared with no spotters. The one thing is the boulder behind, I hit my arm pretty badly on it but it was fine.

go do it, fantastic problem

[Will Hunt]

For my two penneth worth I reckon the hardest bit about DBS if you're of a decent height is squeezing your legs into such a tiny space at the start.

[Jim]

An old one I found, poor quality tho

[Somebody's Fool]

You're right about the quality word. And what on earth was it filmed on?

[Jim]

I think sam filmed it on an early camera phone. Was many moons ago

[dave]

similar resolution to a chessboard.

[Monolith]

I just love Jim's utterance! 

[tomtom]

Yup - and on that vid, looks like some sneaky (cheaty?) use of a lower foothold in the beginning... tsk tsk..
I think knees should be mandatory on DBS 

[GCW]

UpTownGirlyGuru told me it was in, and I ain't gonna go doubtin' the Master of the Cliff.

Its certainly not the hardest move - but I'm 6'3 and the first move is always a wobbler for me (in a good way) if you have your left leg bunched up on a smear on the face and your right flagging down the chimney... great stuff! I normally flail once I get the break too!

[GCW]

Top Out Tastic:

[Will Hunt]

Best background comedy in any videos so far. Sorry Neil, this caps your lad.

Get away! If Daddy does this now and he's not on film he'll kill you.



I'm calling childline 

[GCW]

It's cropped and panned to get rid of the close up of a child's face staring into the lens.  The slight wobble at 0:21 is said children being gently pulled away by Mum. 

[joeb]

Personal favourite of mine only because i fell off at exactly the same point having not seen this video, left the problem for the following day only to find it had pissed it down over night and had to leave. Went back one month later and took me two days to get back to finishing it. the top out is piss as well. Is a vid of andy finishing it in good style, excellent.
