Loved this, what an ace film, like being 19 again. Well put together, good footage,  coherent story. And Ned on Revelations

Is the whole film available to watch yet?

[mrjonathanr]

I watched a screening at Manchester climbing wall- the download will be available after it has shown in Kendal I believe. Till then it’s at a few walls I think.

He explains the factors that made Hunter House Road the hardest climbing street in the UK rather well I think. I liked the argument as well as the nostalgia- & there’s some really cool footage of the time.

It’s already shown at Kendal. Think there are screenings at some walls then a premiere in Sheffield (odd way round) then it will be available to watch online.

Not seen it but good on Alan (UKC/rockfall evil overlord  ) for putting the money into this. I think it will be a great film.

Sheffield premiere last night, absolute triumph. Props to Nick for really nailing it. The focus is very narrow - on the Hunter House road crew and sport climbing only - but it's a tighter film for it. Good to see a lot of the protagonists in the room and thoroughly enjoying it along with amusing their families.

Q & A started well but unfortunately ended in a rather tedious gender politics cul-de-sac. Get well soon Jerry.

Wot Adam said.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and thought what we saw of the Q and A session added to it well. Bashers comments re. Participation in and promotion of climbing have really changed my mind about a few issues.
Sounds like we were lucky to have to go and relieve the baby sitter just as the gender politics got going.

We didn't stay for the Q&A bit this sounds interesting. What was the jist?

[sheavi]

Saw this last night too - really enjoyed it - well done those involved.  Good Q&A until gender politics but that was just one person with an axe to grind I suspect.  Nick did a good job.

Spot on ...

On a side issue its a shame to see you still don't realise my type of hero was the man I sat next to at the end, not the beginning (big numbers were never my thing.... style and community contribution still are), and I really hope no one got my cold.

[Will Hunt]

I was out with Paul Clarke a couple of weekends ago and we were talking about this film. Hunter House Road came up and he laughed. He'd been round to pick up Basher or someone and they were all on a rest day and the house stunk of onions.
"We're resting today. On a rest day, all you can eat is boiled onions. If you boil 'em for ages they've got no nutritional value but they still make you feel full. Great!"


Anyone care to elaborate more on the Q&A stuff? Both what Basher said and what the gender thing was? Love a bit of goss, me.

[Nibile]

Get well soon Jerry.

Please clarify?

[Johnny Brown]

According to Basher he was in Lanzarote last week, got dumped on his head in the shorebreak and compressed 3 vertebrae. Recovering well but a hell of a knock.

Not so much goss Will, just seemed to be to be a bit tangential.  Props to Basher and Debbie for handling it well.

[Nibile]

Ouch!
Cheers Johnny.

Famara i'll bet. Some sketchy sandbars there.

Re: Jerry's injury which was originally not diagnosed, was transported to G.Canaria for surgery - rods inserted to stabilise the fractures (C5-7).  On the mend hopefully.

Fucking hell!!!

I may be biased as it’s my favourite era but SOY is the best British climbing film in years. Great work Nick B.

Yeah I loved it too, fantastic. So glad it’s been recorded this way. It was really stirring watching those routes get done in tandem at the end.

Thanks, Nick.

We could have an Online scrap like Shark and Offwidth?

[moose]

like Don Quixote with a broken Caps Lock key; tilting at wind-mills, fighting hard with the gifts of obscenity and imagination against a largely imaginary enemy.

Don’t talk about Shark like that, how rude.....

Update on JM's injury?
