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?

The first problem is featured on sessions dvd.

Herm climbing Ganymede Takeover 8A+. Well done Herm!

A nice line: The Marrietta Mangler.

It's .swf so you'll need to open it in explorer

Quality top out

Another person, who can climb an 8b+ roof, but gets stuck on the 4+ slab top out!

Not sure if I liked the excessive post-production crap that was thrown in.

[Doylo]

yeah ty topped it out in a lot more style!

[Jaspersharpe]

He was probably shitting it. Isn't the landing meant to be death from that point?  ???

Tyler Landman wrote this on moonclimbing:

The topout is not hard but it is exposed as it is over a dropzone that would most likely result in death.

and

I had to really commit to the scary unspottable topout

  Fuck that! Matching and dropping off is good enough surely...

Interesting vid, Blunk.  Not least as it shows how far off her limit she is on this climb.  Fully in control hardly any wildness - she can climb V14 that's obvious.  She really wasn't balls-out anywhere in this film was she?

Shows you just how limited boulderers are by fear, doesn't it?

[Blunk]

My thoughts exactly Houdini. Occaionally I manage to climb that well. Although not on V-12's...

Another vid, this from a Greek area I've never heard of:

If thats 8b, I'm getting my flight to greece booked now

[Fiend]

Hmmm, you make a good point there jim.

[JohnM]

I know its hard to tell from a video but there is no way that's 8B!  All the holds were big and even when he used the smaller ones on the finishing prow the foot holds looked really big!  No disrespect to the problem though it looks good.

No.

Seriously, often when you see someone do something at their limit they look like they piss it. Sometimes total control is the only way you can do something at your limit and hence it looks as if you could do something way harder but that isn't the case.

Of course I don't know if this is the case with Lisa Rands on Mandala (good fucking effort). Just a general point.

Seen this before and thought the same.

Get stretching then Jim looks like you need to flexible!!

I don't know how many people check UKC anyway, but this seemed like it's a pretty good amalgamation of lot's of good bouldering vids, most importantly, from British (or at least part-British) climbers.

Pretty cool video, funny stuff and some good-looking problems. Holds look a bit smaller than Greek 8b.
