The Rabotou/Cameroni one won't play here for some copyright reason. I want to know what the hell goes on?

He reverses Karma from standing on the top to the jug, chalks up a bit, then climbs it. Easily.

The reversing bit is really cool. It’s so smooth and controlled that it looks really like it’s reverse filmed up climbing! No sliding down and dangling off a hold etc..

It completely caught me off guard. I was sat there, happily eating peanut butter on toast, and I assumed the editor was just pissing around reversing the clip in slow motion. But then something seemed a little off and then he started chalking up, just as I realised what was happening. It was another minute before I realised I still had food in my mouth.

Goodness me some people make climbing look easy.

Enjoyed the whole video tbh, nice Real Thing nostalgia as well.

Do you mean, he hadn't been on Karma before that day, or that he downclimbed Karma and then up it after a few attempts, or is that a flash downclimb followed by a flash upclimb?

The way he downclimbs it easier than he goes up. Mental.

Just watched the whole thing and loved it. Average camerawork, average editing, great music, mates pissing around in the forest bouldering with a sprinkling of WTF. Bingo

And not a single person was #blessed

More please.

I wouldn't have otherwise posted this next video in the "quality" thread, but Chad Greedy's youtube videos are pretty much the same. Enjoy :)

Maybe he couldn't do the jump start?

Is it just me, or is that not surprising at all? I guess most people don't do much downclimbing.

I thought that to but was a bit worried about ‘pissing on the karma reversing bonfire’


Doylo’s vid top notch as always but I was a bit disappointed by the lack of lateness. Looked like an old school whitey on the hill there fellah

What's  your hardest downclimb? (can be a back-off if it was from the very top)

It's not surprising that he might have felt fresher at the start of the climb than towards the end.

Anyway, it's dubbed "Karma 2.0" in the credits and it's only given 8B.

It makes sense though for this problem I suppose. You get to place your hand on the horrible sloper while hanging the finishing hold. You also get your heel sorted in advance of touching it. There's the small matter of lowering into it, but that should be easier to do because you're raising gravity as opposed to overcoming it. It's all static with no slapping.

Basically piss, but it'll make you a bit more tired for the main event of going back up.

Not much actual bouldering footage, but a bouldering legend nonetheless

I was wondering if the third one was ever going to see the light of day. Since all notion of it seemingly vanished for a year or so. Thanks for linking. :bow:
