Future? An approach used in quite a few grit routes, for many years.

At one point he says it must be one of the hardest trad routes in the world. I don't see how that can possibly be true, no matter how hard the opening boulder problem is. The ledge from which hangs to haul the gear really isn't that high at all and from there its a couple of moves to a good break where the gear looks solid and easy to place. Of course, this is all written from the safety of my armchair ...

Maybe the large volumes of SNOT in my head are altering my trad/empathy feeling centres - but that film didn't really do anything for me. Sorry....

I mean, I'm happy he's back on the wagon and enjoying his climbing after injury, but what a load of OTT shite that vid was. Though not quite as over-egged as the Primin Beetle vids.

My thoughts exactly. Bernd will always be a hero for me as the Momentum Video Magazine parts are incredible. That, however, was about as exciting as a tepid, soggy teabag because of the whack angles used, and being able to gain very little understanding of how hard it is.

Does he have any sponsors? Hard to tell.

What was wrong with it? The vid I mean. Apart from the bit about it being hard trad in a new style, which maybe gets lost in translation?

I liked it, and thought others might as well, obviously not.
I get the idea, but top protected with cams ends up looking like uk hard trad rather than futuristic new climbing style. Its a fair height to the break, you'd hit the ground hard if you messed things up. I'd be leg jiving if I got to this point but then I probably wouldn't be able to get off the ground.
Maybe that's why we are leaving Europe, the euros simply aren't as ballsy as ukb wads.
Product placement, how else are high level climbers going to produce and pay for the quality footage found in a lot of the vids floating around at the moment without some type of sponsorship/support. We all pay for this through buying gear and what not, it's great that these short vids are free to view.

I didn't think the video itself was terrible - though obviously a pretty commercial affair, despite the highly personal "return from injury" storyline - I just thought the claim that this is one of the hardest trad routes in the world was faintly ridiculous.

Yup - wasn't bad - just didn't do anything for me. Different folks etc...

Yeah, I definitely thought those things but wondered if it was just the edit or how it was translated that made it seem like that maybe for comercial purposes?

Bernard really missed a trick there. He could have put a bolt in higher up and waited for some snow in order to combine an additional two disciplines.

Bernard should have used this guy to help him out with the technicalities of protecting the climbing at the top of his new high ball. The future of climbing? ;D

A new addition to the Kalbarri Gorge, Western Australia. I thought I'd pop this in the quality thread due to the quality of the problem. Really happy with this one, that place is just amazing.

Happy days!  :)

Always nice to see a spot of local action!

Young blood is also a bit of a classic. The angle doesn't do justice to the height, the awful landing and the amount I was papping myself!

Thanks for sharing.
