I don't know if "quality" is the right word.  But it's certainly interesting viewing:

 :jaw: If you're watching the trifecta middle vid, watch it to the very end...


Nai, believe the malc smith video has already been in.  But still good as ever!

Unless you're of a queasy disposition (wasn;t quite prepared for that at 6am this morning!)

Clocked shots of this problem the other day on Derek Thatcher's stream, those top slopers look horrendous...

That guy at the back of the picture, what is he doing!?  Filming from a very long stick??

Seems quite a bizarre way to film from high up, I wouldn't want to risk using a camera on that...  That's what I meant to get across by my last posting, oops...   :lol:

there is, bu :)

Its quite common really (I believe the technical name is a "boom").  How else would you get shots from above when there's nothing behind the boulders/wall thats being climbed (in the video t its being used for spotting and you can see, presumably Derek Thatcher, on an ab rope taking pictures, but that still limits the angles/perspective you can get to).

Modern HD cameras are pretty light really so are unlikely to fall off and get damaged (and besides which they're relatively cheap too).

Judging by the quality of the video that camera cost about £1.50.

a common trick when doing photos/video from ab-rope is to use stilts or some kinda a-frame you get you out from the rock. i shit you not.

Another tactic is tethering the ab-rope 2 miles from the crag, but thats just a pain in the arse (and 2 miles of rope is expensive!)

Probably about right.  The raw footage was 320x240 pixels!

As for Peter (the broken leg guy), you can't fault his enthusiasm for trying the problem:
