Wot Dense sed. That looks very cool.

Is Sweden a good summer venue? I thought it was quite hot at this time of year

Nice one - since the new guide I'm well keen for a look at that once temps drop a bit. Must admit 7b+ is a touch optimistic gradewise for me but as long as there's slopers and heel-hooking I reckon I'll be in with a chance.

Just to check - that move out to the nose isn't excessively lank-dependant is it?

r-man · August 31, 2011, 01:40:36 pm

With a bit of lank, the move out to the notch on the nose is much easier - the way dave does it at the end of the vid. But the beta I used should work for everyone else. Have fun!

Nice one, cheers - will be getting to it once JB makes that call...

August dose for you all, any pointers on the camera footage would be great as well, as I am still learning

surfchimpster · September 01, 2011, 01:43:22 pm

Nice Footage Neil

Camera works fine but that first track is whack, have you been in France to long ?

Too much french radio can damage your health yea know

Good work besides

Great work by Jen at Posing Productions. Also embedded at the Borg but seems to be available for general view so I have linked it here.

Your sponsors are one step ahead (although perhaps slightly technically challenged)

Arty video of bouldering in Albarracin from Liam Cook

SA Chris · September 08, 2011, 10:53:42 am

American Wads. Going bouldering.

r-man · September 08, 2011, 11:51:09 am

Here's another one. Compare and contrast. Will either be any good? This one has a nice bridge shot, anyway.

SA Chris · September 08, 2011, 12:10:31 pm

American Wads. Going bouldering.....in South Africa.

Does feel like deja vu after a while. Do they do all these videos using a standard template?

And that people think Rocklands bouldering is all there is to SA.

Slight tangent, but on this front I read a comment on one of his blog posts (or perhaps under one of the videos, anyway can't find it now, may well have been removed) that the areas around Cape Town that Paul Robinson had been to recently had sensitive access issues (which he'd apparently ignored).

cofe · September 08, 2011, 12:45:02 pm

michele is italian.

i guess the problem with what having what appears to be a world class bouldering area is that people will want to go there.

Fine Line looks interesting.

Jaspersharpe · September 08, 2011, 12:51:09 pm

Anything with Mad Davey G in tends to make for more interesting viewing than most climbing films.

cofe · September 08, 2011, 12:56:42 pm

amen to that, preacher man.

Yeah, it would seem. http://www.climb.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=7369&hilit=Paul+Robinson

Still loads of other bouldering to do around capetown which is unrestricted though.

Yeah, Rocklands is world class, but point I was trying to make is that there are loads of other world class climbing spots in SA; bouldering, sport, trad bid walls, which seem to get overlooked.

Spent 4 weeks or so in SA about 15 years ago and I (along with most of the people I was with) thought Rocklands was the worst place we went to! So much so that I didn't bother climbing one day and spent another doing some routes there. It isn't shit it is just everywhere else is soooo much better.
