Every time I watch stuff from Bishop I can't help wondering what the down climbs are like. I would hope there's a nice ladder round the back of each boulder.

Crumbly V7  :ohmy:

The best thing to do there is to climb the easiest line on a boulder first to make sure you can downclimb it.  On most there's a way down that's V0 max.  I haven't even been up the downclimb on the boulder which the Big Easy is on, it's massivead a bit crumbly...

ambrosia looking to easy

Fucking astonishing. First vid I've seen that really gives an impression of how massive Ambrosia is. And 2 pads/1spotter! The guy that turns up stage left at 3:27 could at least have tossed his pad onto the (meager) pile! (though I'd probably have just stood and gawped too!)

Also, This Side of Paradise may now be my favourite problem in the world.

Dai is cool, always like seeing his stuff.

Voyager SS, what an awesome swansong, hard to beat really.

He's 'just' done the sit-start to Agratha that you see being attempted at 10 minutes in that video.

I know its ridiculous to judge just from the video but the sit start section of the Dai problem looks easy?  :shrug:

The one arm lock he does at 1:35 is quite impressive

Much prefer this to some of the older Traversi videos; some obvious showboating, but if I was that strong I think I might too!

Theres a 7a called dildo beach with the same start but goes up to the right must be the one you are thinking of.

Yup it still looked closer to 8a than 7a.

Not watched it yet (so it may belong in Non-quality), but ~28minutes of Font action...

Probably some other good ones from the same guy then (although by the looks of it the 2011 may contain sections of others posted through the year).
