Watching Ste Mac do Overshadow, then casually cruise The Groove as a warm dowm was quite impressive.

Ditto!

Pay homage to the Huffmeister 1-5-9 static

A few things i've witnessed in recent years that have dismayed:

Uncle crushing General Dissaray like it was 8a!
Danny crushing Louis Armstrong in the cave, surely this is an 8b!!!
Simpson climbing Action Directe from the crux to the end with ease!
The mighty Mawson flashing to the last move of the boulder problem of Violent Illusion in Ceuse and then pissing it 2nd go!
Neil Dyer doing Melancholie 8b without warming up (its quite fingery!) and then proceding to do some pulls up upon reaching bad boy!

Watching Malc warm up on Magnetic Fields, doing the crux as easy as you like, having a chat along the way  :jaw:. Made it look as difficult as Consenting.

Another Malky Smith anecdote. Shuffling around Bas Cuvier, American chap we'd met the day before stumbles dazed from the Carnage area;
'Dude, your buddy Malcolm' s like, warming up on V10's and smoking hand rolled cigarettes between sends, like, is that normal?!'

Had the same experience in the same place. Me, Irish Alan and Jay Warren (tallented Headcharge DJ) were lying down in the baking sun and chatting to Malc about life and stuff. Malc then did everything in sight whilst politely declining many offers of a spot from various concerned strong men who had seen the rest of us clowns falling off everything. Al and Jay were both on their first proper go at climbing and they both agreed that Malc was even better than me - shows how much they know  :lol:

The most unlikely looking piece of climbing i've ever witnessed was pascals flying heelhook method on special cases, instead of slapping out for the lip with his right hand he just 180'd from the sidepulls and landed his heel on the ledge it was enlightening for sure.

spotting nic sellars as he WALKED up loaded with power at hueco tanks say what you want about the problem he just floated up it with consumate ease (twas a flash ascent)

mule doing halfway house was pretty cool. he was knackered, it was damp nand he was about to give in but with one last go he crushed it. looked like it was 7a+ not 8a+. awesome.

Climbing with huff - awesome

Watching ben moon turn up at the school, warmed up on turd reich 7c+, then did stuey5 8a+, the black problem 8a+, then snot 8a+ and went home. jaw dropping stuff.

watching dave buchannon do laps on curious yellow for a film.

seeing doyle pissed up on the pull in llandudno.............now thats waddage for you :o

Watching Leo do malcs one armer at Raven Tor, repeatedly.

Have there been many other repeats of this feat? I'm sure plenty of people could if they could be bothered...

Watching James make Keen Roof look easy. Watching Polish Dave do Andronicus (craziest piece of climbing I've ever seen). Watching Mark Katz doing much of Pilgrimmage whilst he was very hungover. Watching Zaf years ago do that traverse across the bottom of Remergence buttress, then tell us he only climbed once a month at the moment.

Another Malc anecdote: a Scottish friend of mine said he was out with Malc Smith one night, and asked him if the story about the lamp-post was true. Malc proved it was by pinching a lamp-post with one hand. His feet were no longer touching the floor.

Have some videos:

Keen Roof


Andronicus
