Pedro Raphael Medeiros and Daniel Martins climb some of the hardest boulders in Goiás, a Brazilian state that concentrates, perhaps, the greatest bouldering areas in the country. In the city of Cristalina, Pedro Raphael climbs "Cartola" (V13), "Quartzo" (V12) and "Firmeza" (V11). Daniel Martins does the third ascent of "Kalunga" (V12), in Cocalzinho de Goiás.

Dead Outrageous Bits Of Rock That Get Climbed

SA Chris · October 29, 2012, 03:02:58 pm

It is pretty mad.

Q1-Why isn't that rock famous (or why haven't I seen it before)? It's truly amazing.
Q2-Where's the gorilla when you need him. Were they seriously chalking around the holds so they could see then better in the dark?!

Incredible that it has stayed in balance all this time! Looks like a good place for some soft 8's!

Paul Robinson in Portugal

Assuming the first couple of short bits were Sintra, anyone know where the rest is?

Moo · October 30, 2012, 12:13:45 pm

I believe it was the bowderstone, no idea how it wound up in portugal

Cheers. That spot looks a bit rich for my blood, but looks like some other nice stuff in the area.

Bouldering and surfing hmmm.

Quality edit, up there with the Dai's story of two worlds video in terms of film making.

Personally I'm not a great fan. Think the intro was really good, genuinely interesting, but it looks like its two different full ascents to me. Maybe thats me getting it wrong but got bored after he topped out once.

Toru Nakajima crushing in Colorado...

Good as a dark ambient video-scape, dire as a bouldering film. The 30 seconds of snatching the middle roof crimps were good tho.

Very cool but went on a bit long

Monolith · November 01, 2012, 09:50:25 pm

If Warp made bouldering videos...

Nice to see somebody doing some non sick, rad, stoked etc. Has led me to ask myself a question I've been asking myself a lot of late though - are leaf drops and running water shot in HD the new driving to the crag shot? I'm either a terrible, miserable human being for asking myself this (probably) or are such shots really are quite as beautiful as they are and I should stop poking holes for the sake of it? Yours, confused.

The problem looks really very good (Gaskins V15?) and the venue amazing.

Overall I liked it, but was left feeling like I wasted my time. I got the "essence" but felt it lacked cohesiveness. Could have trimmed it down by about 1-2minutes and it would have been smoother and tighter to the story he was telling. Good effort though.

slackline · November 02, 2012, 10:51:29 am

Not watched it all yet (although have noticed some horrendous tick-marks, hope they washed them off

)...

andy_e · November 02, 2012, 12:12:42 pm

Didn't know Angela Merkel bouldered...

andy_e · November 02, 2012, 12:20:21 pm

What? He does the last move of Red Roses on its own and says 7A+? Nutjob.

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.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my home county on the front page of ukb. Then I watched the video and discovered that it appears to be made by somebody who lives in Fontainebleau and chooses to go bouldering in Leicestershire.

That is so far beyond esoteric
