I find the Mitbo ones generally quite meh (though there are some ok ones, and I quite liked spying on walls around the world when he was travelling - i was wondering about the vibe at the NYC ones whilst daydreaming / considering moving there).

But I really like the Emil Abrahamsson ones, and the Erik Karlsson ones are often really good too. Lots of strong women (daughter loves that) and I have a serious man crush on Thor.

Pre-pandemic, I was musing the possibility of a board-based YouTube channel, vaguely based on Come Dine With Me, in which various sweaty beasts dish out dirty cellar problems to strong locals and the occasional wildcard wad, whilst an overexcited Grimer and Doylo provide a barely legal commentary. This became the primary focus for LDNCLMBR’s transition into a VICEsque multimedia channel but until I can find a way to pitch for Pete’s investment on AIM and employ some helpers it’s likely to remain a distant dream.

If you cast your mind back to the Thing, I am sure there is a market for a satirical digital version. But it needs to be scurrilous, not too high brow, unless you want to be very niche.

Kind of like Viz, with grit rash.

I'd sub, and maybe even join the patreon at the lowest tier.

Really enjoyed this one. The mix of climbing, music and the culture of Morocco was pretty enticing.

[gardinrm]

p.s. not very much bouldering, but rather a mix of all sorts. Didn't know where exactly to put it.

OBG's!!!

Classic Sharma. Nice! Also, how on earth did they get Fugazi on the soundtrack. I presume without their permission. :-)

[teestub]

I think it says at the end that Mike Call is a big fan, so maybe he contacted Ian MacKaye? I can imagine him being cool enough to let someone use it, and I guess it’s sort of a movie soundtrack rather than an album.

Yeah I love fugazi, but was always under the impression that they didn’t like their music being used for anything else. Maybe bouldering was such a weird small sport back then they didn’t really care. Off topic but I see Ian MacKaye has a new band and released a new album with a couple of fugazi band mates called Coriky.

I used the wonderful world of social media and asked Mike Call, said he got the rights from Ian and he only wanted as much as the other artists were getting paid!

[Wood FT]

So sound

Amazing. That is really cool.

Good work Tim!

On a point of order, isn't that a tawny owl?

[andy moles]

Totally tawny. A reprehensible failure of wildlife ID. 

[Will Hunt]

You are forgiven. Good viddy.

[Duma]

This is fucking ace. Owls, tunnels, dank quarries, bouldering on bits of collapsed routes, pads held together with string.

Nice one Andy.

Nalle, no dodgy music

some new stuff here, at least I've never seen it.

"Nearly 20 years ago a professional climber and a self-taught cinematographer created a movie project called, no_comment! They invited friends to collaborate by climbing their favorite routes and boulder problems. The project’s founders Ric and Roc, aka ricroc pictures, sought to highlight young talents and professional climbers all over Europe. Roc, better known as Gerhard Hörhager, invited Ben Moon, Jerry Moffat, Markus Bock, Bernd Zangerl, Luca Zardini, Mauro Calibani, Michael Mayr, Cristian Brenna, Alberto Gnerro, Christoph Finkel, Luca Giapponi, Stefano Romanussi, Wolfgang Rottensteiner, Werner Thon and the then 11 year old David Lama to take part. Over the last two decades climbing and the climbing scene have grown exponentially. Now in 2021, we feel it’s the right moment is right to bring the movie back to life! All segments of, no_comment! are available to watch on YouTube and unseen footage will be made available on Instagram. Stay tuned.. "

Excellent. That DVD would rarely play in any machine I tried it in. Looking forward to watching people climbing in Moffatt Peak later.

[SA Chris]

Some cool looking stuff from Joshua Tree.

[Fiend]

Yeah aesthetic bloque that. Pity the left arete doesn't seem to go direct (yet?)

[SA Chris]

I thought that, felt disappointed when he slinked off right. Looks slabby would probably go to a sufficiently talented slabmeister / showpony.
