Full Uncharted Lines is on YT, an hour of Paul Robinson and friends developing:

Toru (of 'making everything in the peak look easy in the middle of summer' fame) repeating Dai Koyamada's Epitaph after all the good holds fell off. Looks savage.

Rat crimp board style brutality! Great stuff all round, good commentary.

Cheers Remus I was wondering what to watch over an early dinner!

Edit:

12 seconds in... "There are only four boulders worldwide that have been given this grade"

Okay that was good. Pretty cool that the crux is the exact link move into the stand.

I proper like how Shawn Raboutou comes across. You see him fall on the last hard move and he's like "awww maaan" but he's still smiling and laughing, like he genuinely loves it and loves being there, he's 100% motivated but he's not kicking off and screaming. I like that.

Probably won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I enjoyed this. Is the final problem the 8C with longest walk-in in the world?

Is this problem the 9A with the shortest walk-in in the world?

This place looks absolutely stunning, so cool. A quick google satellite image recon makes it look like there’s huge potential there too, endless talus fields. Not sure how I feel about the bear potential!!

I couldn’t get through it. Beautiful scenery, artfully shot and some amazing looking boulders. But too many jump cuts, weird stuttering sections and too little just straight up climbing. I understand they were trying to be arty but it just ended up feeling cluttered. Shame, but maybe just not my taste.

I was wishing for it to be a bit documentary esque, in the same vein as the video of Megatron with some chat and description of the area etc. Which, agree, looks utterly incredible.

There was a previous Wind River vid which had a bit more context from memory, can’t remember if it was part of that possessed film or a separate one.

Edit it is the first section of Possessed, which gives a more watchable overview for those who don’t want jump cuts and lofi hip hop remixes

Yup my thoughts exactly, i couldn't get through either

The Winds certainly have insane potential, I've climbed in the area but not yet committed to the backcountry. I've heard of several different groups who rent donkeys to carry the pads in - certainly more logistic than a normal bouldering trip!

The Mellow video didn't quite deliver for me either.

After a few minutes, I was convinced it would be their best video yet; I enjoyed the arty style and the music fit well, but then the intro never ended and it was essentially 20 minutes of B-roll! I still give them props for trying something different and I think this direction has legs if they can find the right balance (more uncut climbing, interviews).

The final boulder is incredible.

I didn't make it to the final boulder, maybe I should try again.
I might just be an oversensitive grandad but I wasn't keen on that track that used the 'N' word every 3 seconds.

Magnus occasionally puts out good videos inbetween the silly stuff and I enjoyed this one. It's also interesting to see Shawn struggle so much with a problem Will and Aidan flashed!

Enjoyed that one, and the similar one he did with Ondra. Magnus makes a surprisingly good interviewer imo.

It's also interesting to see Shawn struggle so much with a problem Will and Aidan flashed!

From the vid it sounds like it's largely a wrist flexibility thing. I've got similarly inflexible wrists and it shuts me down on some problems (at a much more punter level). There's a sequence on Peckitt's Traverse at Biblins Cave where you reach behind you to a pretty decent pinch, but I just can't flex my wrist back enough to get my thumb on so it feels completely desperate (luckily there's loads of other sequences).

I'd be interested to know if anyone has had any luck improving their wrist flexibility, I've tried it a couple of times but it feels pretty painful (and boring) so I gave up pretty quickly.

I enjoyed that video, As said above Magnus’ interviewing of contemporary wads is nice. He talks from a position of understanding (as he is flipping handy himself) but also honestly wanting to know more.

Hard to put my finger on it all exactly just seems so wholesome.

Shawn is weirdly chill for an American? Funny to see him struggle on Vechio (obvs wrist flexibility is an issue) but also cool to see him happy to be filmed on something way below his limit that he finds hard. Obviously there is nothing wrong or unusual about this occurrence but must feel like you are opening yourself up to people making judgements. Nice one Shawn.

I hope Magnus gets himself into a Mellow vid.
