As I remember Geraldine largely climbed (and presumably still climbs) trad.
Thought this was ace. Well put together with the old footage mixed in with some nice reenactment stuff - loved seeing the footage of Jerry on Liquid Ambar. Hopefully it'll inspire one or two of today's wads to see if they're good enough to climb a testpiece power-endurance 8c+ which has defeated most...
Update on JM's injury?
I just watched it and it's absolutely brilliant! On a side note, unless there was some hi-tech editing, Ned did actually solo Revelations, didn't he? I think this should have deserved more recognition.
Not sure of the details but I don't think he did it all in a one-er either.Just to explore Will's theme a little further, I couldn't help noticing it was also a strikingly white film. And not only that, although the protagonists sexuality wasn't explicitly explored, there were strongly heterosexual tones. I had really hoped that a more modern, inclusive view of the 1980's Hunter House Road scene might have recast it somewhere along the lines of Pose/ Paris is Burning?
Some of them must have gone down ‘bournville boulevard’ during barron spells.
...any more than exploring why there weren't any lesbian asians in Cool Runnings.
While watching it I idly wondered how many of the (I presume) virulently anti-Thatcher protaganists at the time might have voted for her in their current incarnations as businessmen? NB: I may be ascribing political views to them that they didn't hold; no idea!
Completely aside from this discussion, I would love to see a Hollywood version of Statement of Youth in the style of Cool Runnings.
