he'd better be quick on the E7, i've heard plenty of talk at the crag about that getting retrobolted.

Verbal Abuse?

And don't say "No. Just talk about it being retrobolted."  ;)

since we are on the matter, would it be possible to put 'birth of the extreme' and 'buoux 8c' on digital so that a lonesome, sad, climbing deprived italian could start again thinking that life is good and that one trains for actually climbing on rocks?
 :'( :'( :'(
ps great great great effort.

That's where his elaborate ruse comes unstuck as that isn't the crux.

I bow to your better knowledge. The whole thing looks like a bloody great crux.

Never mind Jehovah Kill, Seraphim, Verbal Abuse or Hooligan. Are you sure Steve's done 1, 15, 7, 9, 14?

After having a p** (me, as every climber I dare to say, have to relieve myself before starting a hard climb) I did some turns on an easy warm-up boulder ("power band"), in order to prevent injuries on the upper limbs.

The p** interests me, does he mean pie? Fair play, he's done an awesome effort on that gif.

Top skills to Steve M. for actually doing it.

I don't believe anyone has posted this link yet of Steve's send... so here we go...



I've watched both Ben's accent and also Steve's, it seems that they use a slightly different sequence at the bottom, going into the first 2 small undercuts. Ben goes left hand up first and matches with the right, but Steve goes to the right undercut first. The last crux is the same on both sends as far as I can make out, except that Steve uses a higher smear for the right foot, and misses the intermediate press that Ben uses. At least that's what I make of it anyway!

What a beast.

Hehe I knew it must have been up somewhere already.. I must have searched youtube for years trying to find footage of hubble, only to find tiny grainy images of Gaskins on the final crux... It was only 2 months ago I finally watched 80's birth of extreme. The more people who get to see this route the better! My lifetime goal  :thumbsup:

Second, it's a big deal for me as it's totally against my strengths. I'm rubbish at bouldering and I'm relatively weak and use technique to get up stuff. Hubble can't be tricked!

really weak.
rubbish at bouldering. hmmm.

I haven't seen that video but I think you might be wrong there.

It must be shit only being able to boulder 8B+.

What sport dragons are the left for Steve Le Mac to slay in the UK? He needs to get to the Anvil now the midgies are starting to abate.

Steve's been on it hasn't he? Big Bang sounds truly horrendous. Bet it's interesting to see up close.
