That's some serious dingy dab-tastic grot - great features in the roof but more like bad beta for a kid's weaselling cave. Having said that, the final ascent footage / vibe / finish was brilliant.


Andrew Macfarlane on the other hand, what a prime clickbait chode, his endless sycophantic videos of Louis fucking haircut Parkinson around the London walls are an embarrassment to climbing, almost as much as them actually getting any views. I feel slightly dirty even seeing the thumbnail for his video.

I missing something or is it also that Sale Gosse means dirty kid so this kid is being the opposite of that?

It doesn't mean dirty kid, it means brat/little shit/bad kid.

I know quality videos is becoming a bit of a mellow-fest, but I found this particularly brilliant.



Phwoar, eat your heart out Gaskins! From a pure bouldering perspective that's pretty flipping inspiring, to me anyway.

Fantastic video too. Really nicely done.

 :lol:

I’m not going to watch either of these videos ‘cos there’s no way they can be as entertaining as reading Fiend’s comments about them.

The best thing about that is how the onlookers just let them climb without screaming ‘tight’, ‘’everything you’ve got ‘ and ‘you’ve got this’ like most Yank vids. Just let people try hard in peace ffs.

I thought the vid of Drew R on Box Therapy was notable for this - so much so that I was just commenting on it to the gf when the classic "how'd it feel?" rang out at the end...

I loved the end of that with Nathaniel Coleman. That surreal, zen-like feeling of topping something you've been working out, that it just happens after all that time suddenly.

Another beautiful Mellow video and Part 1 of 4. Kevin Takashi Smith is making some great stuff at the moment.

I watched the first one, and was left thinking why are Daniel woods and Jimmy Webb the famous ones when there's all these other blokes doing the same stuff.

Then I watched part 2. Bloody heck. That snail cave project. And the sheer number of 8C and 8C+ that the 2 of them do.

Some amazing looking stuff, but the unclimbed (or just not shown?) big lines look better than some of the ones they do.

Howling gales and even Nalle said they were too highball.

Anyway, linking this especially for the miserable old sods in the house, proper minging board-style shuffling on horrible rat crimps. He must be training for Rubicon or X. As a bonus there's a bare minimum of American whooping encouragement nor portable fans in shot to offend you grumpy fuckers:

Thanks for the insight, my ears stopped working at the beginning of the video.

I rather liked this - both in terms of the climbing and the overall look of it. I was thinking on the way to the wall yesterday what a bouldering film made by Stefan Sagmeister might look like, and bizarrely this is probably not a million miles away.

Haha that's a good description. Feels like something you'd watch on a Creative Review monthly CD ~15-20 years ago
