nice to see Dave Graham genuinely psyched too.

When is he ever not psyched?

I admit to having a film of him being interviewed on a trailer step and playing it when I need a bit of a psyche boost  ;D

The guy is always a joy to watch, probably one of the most genuine seeming top climbers out there

Wow.  So impressive.  Dave Graham looks completely gobsmacked.  Amazing stuff.

That's ridiculous.
Truly amazing guy. As happy as a man can be, infectious psyche!
Great.

Amazing.

Hopefully this will silence all those people who have been insisting for some time that individual moves can't get much harder, and the future of hard bouldering is just link ups.

8B move flashed. Static. Bouldering still has a long way to go.

Mad!

Does anybody know if Martin is OK?

Looks like he did "Don't Get too Greedy". Not  :shit: but when climbing with Ondra we are all punters.

The context provided by Dave Graham makes that one of the best vids ever.

Fairly impressed they walked up!  I tried to walk up to Chaos Canyon for a look last week and gave up as repeatedly sinking past my knees in snow was no fun, plus several people had mentioned everything was snowed in (though obviously not the jade block) I wonder what they warmed up on?

Don't get too greedy should be OK for warmup, well within the flash grade and all...

It makes it much better with Graham being there. There's footage of him trying it in 2001.

I have seen this footage its good was on YouTube but haven't been able to track it down in years got him doing some other amazing boulders too

Since that's just a rewrite of Kairn's report, I'll link to that as well

In short: Three degrees of separation, ~9a, Céüse, first repeat

Face Bouc, 8c on Face Bouc in Ailefroide, onsight. In bad conditions (I was in Briançon that day)

Spanish caravane, 8c in the Ramirole sector on the left side of Verdon, onsight.
