Please let that be the trailer for a feature-length portion of climbing filth: the world needs a new West Coast Gimps / Stoned Love.  Those Dosage films are all very well but frankly lack the obscenity and unsettling imagery of the classics. 

Incidently, did Micky Page ever manage Cypher? I saw him on it ages ago and would like to think that his commitment in getting a step-ladder all the way up that hill was eventually rewarded.  Although it was initially very disconcerting to see 6ft of B&Q's finest teetering amongst the natural glories.

As far as I'm aware only Moon, Dunning and Earl have done it. I've been very close recently but haven't climbed for a month really so need to shape up to nail it. It's the only thing I'm psyched for at the mo.

Oh well, I was hoping that since Micky Page is such an unassuming beast he'd managed it but it wasn't widely known.

Good luck with your own attempt anyway: it's a beautiful line regardless of the technical challenge it represents.

If its climbing filth your after i'll sort you the Hueco film, I think its quite tame but Paul B was so shocked he gave it away! Some people  :shrug: The swiss stuff is mainly hard cranking i'm afraid. Not sure i'll ever match Stoned Love/West Coast again Moose. Don't think Micks done Cypher, but you never know with that one.

Cheers fella, I need some motivational climbing footage to keep my mojo simmering until the weather warms.   I'm currently setting a record for numb-fingered crag retreats that resembles Le Grande Armee's winter tour of Moscow. 

Don't worry about any disappointment on the affront-to-decency front; it's not really the rabelaisian filth that I enjoy so much as the sheer sense of enjoyment that accompanies the hard cranking.  Many climbing films seem to focus on making the progagonists look as gracefully enigmatic as possible - the viewer forgets about the fun.

To be fair, I was crippled at the time, watched it and then Helen and Nige rocked up and asked if they could borrow it, I said they might as well keep it as I'd seen it and they're actually in it.
Looking at a giant turd, mule and his various gimp sequences etc. aren't on the top of my list for content in a climbing film. Just imagine that to dense "How did it feeeeelll?"

Cypher is a fucking ace line.
