Non-Quality Chuffing Videos
July 16, 2010, 12:34:19 am
A quick search for this thread showed it didn't exist yet and I didn't want to sully the quality vids thread so, here we are.  Anyway, was just keen to share this:

Yeah I saw that the other day on your blog - looks really good. Shall make a trip up that way later in the year now that I've seen this and Reeve has given it all his seal of approval!

cheers barros, elbows alright for bouldering and bouldery headpoints it seems.  Hanging on for longer periods is more problematic - your worst nightmare?!

@ tommy; nice one, ADKOB will stay clean and dries pretty quickly, Collateral might tend to dirty up a bit more as there're a couple of narrow fluting/drainage channels down the line, still shouldn't take too long to dry though I'd have thought, 1/2 dry days? 

Anyway, speak of the devil, here he is on the same day giving said seal of approval:
(footage and editting not great but hey...)

I think my limit would be HVS without hanging on forever...
I liked the vid. What's the music? Effort Reeve.

Collateral looks good. Not sure why the Blue thing is given 3 stars, it looks like a wandering line that avoids two obvious LGPs and then ends up joining Stratagem.

And uses side runners (kind of). And essentially starts half-way up the butress  :lol:
On the up-side, the line makes much more sense once on it - it follows the best holds to and from that obvious jug on the arete and once your foot/heel is on the jug, the merge with the top of stratagem is inevitable/natural.  I take your point though, maybe it's not worth 3* - I just gave it that since the rock, moves and positions are all awesome and the overall experience felt 3* to me, certainly in the context of the Moors.

Anyway, the other guys who've climbed it seemed to agree in terms of quality and they're in a better position than me to judge I reckon.  'The best sequence I've done on a route' was the quote of choice I think but Reeve might just have been a little over excited!?

the track's called 'Les Djinns', I got it off a Trentmoller album - 'Trentmoller Chronicles'

Can't see it from the angle of the video but the landing slopes off quite steeply.  I reckoned a tied in belayer would be worth having so you'd only bounce down the slope so far if you fell.  He's not quite as redundant as he looks, for the first 2/3 of the route anyway.  Bit of a shame this pinnacle/block isn't just on flat ground in some ways, then all the routes would just be great highballs....

Was expecting the complete opposite then Mr Nike Air. And some impressive whipper and ground breaking sprinting.

Not entirely sure where to put this, as its not really bouldering and its not really chuffing. Though theres a bit more actual chuffing than bouldering so here'll have to do.

Behold, the trials and tribulations of being Dave Graham....

Ha ha! That's funny! I can't believe you two went and did that! I think Jordan should get at least E8 considering his crack skill level.

Good effort. Ray's Roof or Gobblers next?????

Think these must be from a recent trip. Saw one of them getting bolted in May so must be.
