Did Rhys get footage of this, or was that a different trip? It's a shame the crabstix swiss dvd never got released.

He got Shark Hunt flash on camera too didn't he! He should stick the raw footage on youtube, i presume the DVDs not coming out now...

Quote from: James's blog
In the first half of 2007 I took a few bouldering trips Switzerland. I began to focus on "flashing" hard boulder problems... I flashed "The Ganymede Takeover" at Brione, Ticino. My ascent, along with many other hard problems was filmed by Crabstix productions and will be released in a film about myself in 2008.

... "The Great Shark Hunt" at Chironico. Again, my ascent was captured on film by Crabstix productions.

... "Schule des Lebens" which again was captured on film.

Looks pretty close on the Wagon project in this clip! Come on Rhys, let us see, let us see!

A chap on UKC seems to think the access restrictions have been relaxed somewhat:

access is possible from nov-feb. BUT its sensible! no big groups! no gathering on the meadow (what provoked the "access-issues). walk at the side, don't cross the meadow. listen to the locals. use common sense!
happy climbing, martin

Repeated and down-graded to 8B+ by Jan Hoger - according to the man, "It can't be 8C as it only took me one session."
Having seen Jan climb, I can confirm that he is an absolute monster, and its probably 8C.

Can't jam for toffee though.


But thats not climbing, so its all good.


Twats.....     :whistle:

Jan, after taking a few burns to warm-up, quickly stuck the crux (not from the start) and went to the top after a few goes. After a bit of rest and a few more falls from the bottom, he completed the 2nd Ascent.

Whoops - my mistake. It was Momentum he's done and down-graded. He's probably saving Off the Wagon for tomorrow.

He sold all the footage to Hot Aches.

Turns out this post was prophetic. He did it today and also gave it the 8B+ downgrade. It may turn out that he's simply too strong for his own good right now though.

Bloody hell he makes Nalle look a bit on the weak side!!  :o I bet Nalle gives the next one 8b+ even if he think it's 8c (unless Jan has gone home by then)

Christ - I'm even freaking myself out with my new-found fortune-telling skills. I should never doubted my gift. I'll stick my neck out and say that it'll probably rain tomorrow too.

I think I've found the focus for my Feb trip!  Darcy looked like he had it on that trailer - thieving gypsy bastar.....  Oh, must remember that's not on.
