His sequence does look way harder than Webb and Woods, still amazed he's got less span than DW.

I think they are the same height but Daniel's got +4 inch ape index and Nalle's +2

What a monster! And so chilled about it all. Very different top out vibes to the other Mellow films. Impressive stuff.

I normally hate the Mellow vids,but that one's class. Power,precision and biceps the size of his head. Makes Ode to The Modern Man look about 7B. No pretentious grading system. Proper stuff.

Brilliant. I’d like to have seen more of the maps tbh!

There aren’t many artists with a climber’s eye I know of - Phil Gibson is the only one who stands out for me. I have a few pictures. I like being able to stand in the kitchen and trace the lines of holds on Froggatt even though it’s miles away.

Good share Robin. I thoroughly enjoyed that, wish it was longer.

I've had that said to me before.

great film Robin.

Conjetura - a bit all over the place and quite long for 3 ascents. Was it about The Nest? Monkey Wedding? Sud Africa? America? Walking between crags? Driving between crags? Or the typically genetically gifted bastard with zero body fat and a boyband haircut? At least it didn't have anyone flying in first class like fucking Nalle.

Nalle vs Sleepwalker - pretty cool footage, I like him acknowledging that it just boiled down to conditions and luck.

Mapmaker - nice, could have been longer, good vibes in it. Would have liked to have seen more climbing and a lot more maps, they were beautiful.

Forgot to add...

Where Is Everybody? - (presumably all grinding the public transport network to a halt as part of XfuckingR protests instead of jetsetting to the other side of the globe) - great, more quality than most quality videos, although partly that's a cheat because the location is so damn aesthetic. Even so, refreshing simplicity allowing brilliant-looking problems to shine, good effort. Although a few times the camera could have been zoomed in to show more problem and slightly less sky.

Lovely scenes from Ardnamurchan. Amazing rock out there! Climbing starts at 2:20 if not into tartan westerns.

gardinrm · October 26, 2019, 10:34:03 pm

Loved this. Nice to see Scotland looking sunny...

Bradders · October 27, 2019, 07:36:25 am

Proper quality, wanted it to be longer! Thanks for sharing.

grimer · October 31, 2019, 12:38:40 pm

That was spot on!

Urgh, part of me hates myself that one of my initial thoughts was "Capri sun = a single-use straw and an un-recyclable pouch. Just get a water bottle and some squash".

Nice video though :D

Ryuichi crushing. Bit over produced but still quality.

36chambers · November 17, 2019, 10:12:43 am

I love a bit of Ryuichi crushing.

If you haven't already seen it, the no thrills edit of his trip is a great watch. His youtube channel in general is brilliant.

Bradders · November 17, 2019, 06:21:05 pm

Nice, hadn't seen that. Same trip in two different video styles

remus · November 17, 2019, 07:15:36 pm

New Megos film.

spidermonkey09 · November 17, 2019, 09:11:09 pm

That's really good. 16 days on a 9b+ has to be one of if not the quickest ascent of a route that hard?

Think the 40+ day project is Bibliographie at Ceuse?

remus · November 18, 2019, 07:39:47 am

Gotta be, it's not even that much of a siege in the scheme of things!

p.s. just noticed this in bouldering vids not chuffing, whoops!

grimer · November 18, 2019, 10:07:54 am

I went to see the Megos film at Kendal, with Megos talking. He's such a class act, very funny guy.

Jakob Schubert posted on the 1st Nov that it was his 6th day on the route and he did it on the 9th, so significantly quicker unless he was referring to his 6th day that trip maybe? If not, a realistic number of rest days would imply only 11 or 12 days for his ascent.

Enjoyed the film, though given the amount of "greatest climber in the world", "future of climbing" type comments, the complete lack of mention of AO seemed a bit weird. Also while I appreciate they were linking it in with the history of the Frankenjura, painting Megos as the future of redpointing seems odd given that (from my armchair perspective) he seems best known for very quick ascents.

Footwork · November 18, 2019, 11:51:08 pm

Really enjoyed the Megos film. Love the old footage from Germany. I thought mentioning Ondra would have detracted from the whole thing. It's not Paxti telling everyone "to be the best, you must show the best, I am the best!"

Rot-punkt and Wizards Apprentice sit a little like Pokemon red and blue. We love both but we know which one is better!
