Here is a film I made when my girlfriend and I had 3 weeks up in the Peaks.

ODB?

Quite liked this one. Stuff about access and the local town was interesting too. Far too often these kind of bouldering videos feign some passing interest in the local flora, fauna and culture. Absolute bullshit for the most part: cue some clip of a poor looking kid, or a wrinkly old man, followed by an arty shot of a flower, then back to the bouldering pr0n. I'd rather people not try to pretend they give a shit unless they really put the effort into getting some good shots and communicating some worthwhile information.

Disclaimer: I watched it at work, so with the sound off.
I barely made through the first two and half minutes without a single bouldering shot, but with: driving to the crag, close in on roadsigns, life in the van, the same fucking coffe that every fucking climber drinks, the usual night time timelapse, yoga, walking to the boulders, and a fucking wedding sequence.
Could have been worse only with a slackline sequence (no offence intended here).
Also, the climbing footage was just the usual.
Just my opinion, but I really disliked it.

I watched it with the sound on and I liked it, it was inspiring. Needed more coffee shots tho.

I liked it but then I love Bishop

I heard you love clown and monkey too

I liked the demonstration of the honeymoon "yoga" positions available to you in a van

Ditto.

A touch off topic but does anyone know the standard ethic that these lines are approached with? Ie has ambosia been done ground up? or is it just headpointed, always wondered.....

[Stubbs]

Ambrosia was headpointed by Jorgeson originally (footage on Progression), and I think most repeats have been in that style, I found this blog where Honnold warned Jorg Verhoven against trying it GU because it was loose and unobvious http://blog.jorgverhoeven.com/?p=562

I think quite a few of the not super highballs (Evilution, etc) have been done GU now.

You spotted that quickly!  But you need to remove the s at the end of http for it to display correctly...



Some really good problems there, with a unique style. Dawid showed me some of his and Mike's new stuff a while back - hard bouldering on overhanging slate, a nice alternative to peak limestone for fans of steepness. I'm sure it will be popular with the Nottingham/Derby crowd as it's only 30min down the road and no walk in.

fuck sake i always forget... but there are some cool looking problems in that for sure

[r-man]

Here's another from Leicester. This is a brilliant problem. I slapped the top years ago, but close aint good enough. Psyched it's been done now, and keen to go back again. Nice one Mike!

[Richie Crouch]

Really enjoyed this. The last few problems look superb!

[Fiend]

That (Shades of Grey) looks well good. Better than the Joker??

[Stubbs]

Is Shades of Grey chipped/drilled?

[r-man]

Yes, it has drilled pockets, no idea when or why they were drilled.
 
Fiend, it's very different to the Joker. Fingery pocket dangling, to an easy-if-it-weren't-the-last-move slap.

Whereabouts is that overhanging slate stuff r-man? Any topo around? Looks kinda cool.
