Jamie showed me a video of Sorle on Millenium Drive a while back. Smoothest ascent imaginable, pissed it.

After one of my many ascents obviously

He's a strong bastard and the thing is he doesn't know it yet!

Gotta at least be 7b+ that heel hook way must make texas alot easier? good effort anyway!!!

superfurrymonkey · February 03, 2008, 03:14:18 pm

With the heel hook Texas Karaoke feels like a 7a+ although Sorle reckoned V6, the words pinch of salt come to mind!

Christopher, they sound like the words of a man nervous of a potential Ormesman crown theft!? Nah, keeping the youth on his toes eh

Houdini · February 03, 2008, 07:12:25 pm

Ormesman?

What? Is there one man enough to challenge the mighty Shelmerdine?

Monolith · February 03, 2008, 07:22:35 pm

I was under the impression that that man's status was cemented and Pantontino and Doylo were next heirs to the throne respectively. Men of honour.

Resonate · February 03, 2008, 09:01:45 pm

well no offence to what's probably an excellent achievement, but a poorly-climbed, poorly filmed version of a FA is hardly a 'quality bouldering video".

superfurrymonkey · February 03, 2008, 09:37:07 pm

Well I`m sure if he`d had to work the problem instead of practically flashing it ie. sending it second go he might of climbed it in a style you would approve of.

superfurrymonkey · February 03, 2008, 09:37:49 pm

Oh pretty much on site.

Resonate · February 03, 2008, 10:00:39 pm

don't get me wrong, i'm not for a second belittling the achievement, i've never made a first ascent in better style myself, it's just the thread title that should dictate the content. This should have it's own thread in 'news' imho. All FAs of new boulders at the climber's limit are worth publicising, regardless of grade, but there's a place for it, that's all.

Think camera angles, multiple shot angles, good editing and music in time with the moves etc. Hopefully you get my point

Monolith · February 03, 2008, 10:08:23 pm

I'd take issue with that. I consider West Coast Gimps to be the best bouldering film of all time and captures the essence of roadtrips/having a laugh with your hombres etc far more than something like any of the dosages do (although such productions have their place of course).

Far from saying Doylo hasn't paid any attention to the edit, it was filmed in situ and as such comes across as such. For an example of how NOT to make a climbing film (in my opinion), refer to Memento. That's what happens when someone gets hold of an expensive boom for the first time (p.s. I'm aware of the film makers credentials).

Houdini · February 03, 2008, 10:32:35 pm

I think Momento is great as it gives me exactly what I want in a flick, hardcore action. Plus insight into inspiration and just how hungry top flight boulderers look, ie. Anything for double egg and chips. I swear the man was tripping on hunger . . .

Dicking around is for dicks, been there etc.. Just not interesting - in JACKASS for sure, in a climibing film, self-indulgent shit and a case in point of what a good editor should leave on the floor.

Trailer for a whole movie about climbing on the beach... http://www.spraymovie.com/

Lots of American stuff - http://www.boulderingmedia.com/videos.html

Anyone got a copy of West Coast Gimps , how can I get hold of one?
Cheers

Drop Doylo a pm and I'm sure the man will supply you with some top quality homosocial musculo-entertainment when not on the road with his fellow truckers. Don't go into any public lavatories in Kent at the moment

unclesomebody · February 13, 2008, 11:52:31 am

Something from the other day. I'm getting lots of nice font footage, but will release it as a longer thing rather than lots of little bits. I posted this to try and clear up where a line went with the FA but still have no idea. Anyway, whatever it is, it's cool.

cowboyhat · February 13, 2008, 04:52:47 pm

another one of your knee topouts. It should become your signature move.

Jim · February 14, 2008, 06:42:47 am

That first problem, looks stickier than shit on a blanket! Looks awesome. HP40 towards the end (noticed from the gurning thread), but where was everything else?

Carnage · February 18, 2008, 11:57:57 pm

The others were Little Rock City and the one by the river was some gaff called Dayton.

r-man · February 19, 2008, 12:05:50 am

Looks like there's lots of good stuff round there

The three main areas in the South are apparently Little Rock City, Rocktown and HP40.
