Took the video camera out with me today for the first time in ages - and this was the result (new sit start added to a problem I put up a couple of weeks back)

Worked fine on my PC. Some nice looking problems and some good music too.

Shawn has sent me the Tjugo Pa Kjuge DVD but I've not got round to reviewing it yet - will get a review up soon

Quality vids curtosy of our Polish counterparts. Check out the Dan Osman clip, classic footage from the old Masters of Stone Days! :

Double dyno on the speed solo is sick!

Three vids here - of variable quality:

http://tripsalomon.free.fr

There's an indifferent clip of Loic Gaidoz flashing La Balance.

A reasonable (but overproduced) film of bouldering in Brittany (Click on "Video de Bretagne" to get breizh.wmv)

And a rather strange film called "Demain c'est Loin" (demain.rm so you need realplayer). This has an utterly shitty and wholly incomprehensible first section involving guns, but fortunately once that's over (after 2mins30secs) the bouldering gets going; Ailefroide, Meschia, Font. It's a little hard to see what's going on, because of all the effects, BUT this film is worthwhile solely for the footage of a problem called Clark Kent in Meschia. Full-body backwards double dyno across a roof.

o.k. so we've all bouldered at Brimham, but Nidderdale has much more to offer if you get off the beaten track.

(about 5meg wmv - 5 minutes long. - thanks to Kim and Bonjoy)

The big G, panorama, whitehouses and several others not mentioned here are all within easy striking distance for a good day out.
You should be able to find climbable rock in all but the worst weather.
Make sure you pay big Frank a visit in his shop at Pateley Bridge http://www.sypeland.com/shop and check out the awesome olde sweetie shop too.

I'm almost certain that some of the problems on the video still need second ascents, and a confirmation of grade and quality.

Let me know what you think - both to the vid and probs if you try them.
If the vid doesn't work, I apologise - I struggle with yahoo! as a host.

Quality off the beaten track Yorks bouldering.

SA Chris · March 20, 2006, 01:37:17 pm

Some fine looking problems.

Fine donkey mark or two as well.

Fiend · March 20, 2006, 01:40:21 pm

Pretty cool stuff, nice to see some different areas. The compression on the vid is a bit rough though.

Nice that ALS gets the attention it deserves - but who is that using an unauthorised sequence? Shocking, no tick for you sir!

Bonjoy · March 20, 2006, 01:48:52 pm

Just call me The Maverick.

Cheers - Best viewed small screen - very cheap point and press camera and editing, and three of the vids were done from a tripod whilst out on my tod!
Could there be any interest in a full length properly filmed and edited Yorks DVD?

I'd love to see a bouldering film just about Yorks grit!

Fiend · March 20, 2006, 04:03:01 pm

As long as it's got an interview with Big Frank in it

squeek · March 20, 2006, 07:57:57 pm

There's a DVD of just yorkshire bouldering being put together, or did you already know that?

There's a guidebook as well so I hear - spill the beans squeek.

squeek · March 20, 2006, 09:31:39 pm

Dave Suttcliffe's been out filming this grit season, he's got some good footage. Don't think he's got enough for the whole thing yet though, probably be next year as he'll needs to get more footage next season. He did mention it here:
