Nalle's new line in Magic Wood.

Some nice filming, but is it just me, or are there a few moves missing towards the end?  He all of a sudden seems to gain a lot of height with his left hand from the ramp he jumps to.

Incredible looking rock, but yes, the edit misses out about a body length.

I've noticed how his accent has changed from spending so much time with American 'dudes'. It's strange how he's developed the 'like' thing, although his English is so good that I guess it's inevitable that he'd pick up traits that can be seen as annoying by some.
That aside, how the living fcuk did he hold that swing? That goes down as one of the most impressive things I've seen a climber do.

[biscuit]

It was pretty amazing wasn't it.

The slo mo was pretty cool. I've always really struggled at any move like that ( not like THAT of course but at my level ) and you can see he starts to throw his leg towards the wall as soon as he can to counterbalance the swing. It's not for a foothold just to stop him coming off. Great coordination.

Sorry about the off topic. But i don't think i've ever heard so many likes in my life. I use fillers a lot when i am trying to speak Spanish. It gives my brain time to catch up with what  want to say. I'm going to have to make sure i don't sound like he does.

That walk in is epic compared to the climbing!

It does seem odd to devote 50% of the video to that and not include all of the ascent which in real time must be about 30 seconds.

Problem looks good though.

[slackline]

Could it be that the footage was shot after the actual ascent and he couldn't repeat the problem on the day(s) it was being filmed hence the final edit not showing every single second? 



[Occams Razor]A mistake when editing[/Occams Razor]


 

[Wood FT]

yeah, and then the star can't even repeat good size links leaving you suspicious and with more work to do *cough*BARROWS*cough*

I liked the slo-mo too, it's great that with optimum camera settings and judicious use of twixtor people can create some very interesting footage, you can really see the forces being applied.

I think everyone actually knows that.... And it was all tongue in cheek.

Maybe some will say it’s a route. To Rafael Passos, it’s a boulder. And it would be the first of such graduation to be climbed in Brazil (still in November 2009, by himself). In this case, the chronological order is important: it represents a big milestone, a great achievement - we all know that the reminded and celebrated are always the firsts, the ones that dared. They are, at last, the ones who tamed the distant and unachievable, transformed the fantasy into concreteness. Explorers. Perhaps this is the best adjective to describe Rafinha. To us, obsessively passionate about climbing, what remains is a beautiful line, an extremely classic, gorgeous, hard climbing. Really hard. Now, since we’ve got the power of the words (and images), we say: cheers to the first V14 climbed in Brazil!

[JackAus]

Awesome rest..

[miso soup]

Wasn't that one in Reach supposed to be the first V14 in Brazil?

This thing's clearly a route anyway.   

Nice line and film though.

I totally, like, agree, like.

His skills are superb, though, and it's always a pleasure to watch him climb so well.

Christian Core casually running another lap on the hardest problem in the world.



I'm always surprised how little news we hear about this thing since Ondra decided it was the hardest problem in the world, I assume at least some of the usual globe-trotting 8C-climbing superstars have been on it and got shut down?

[Nibile]

I've been there - and not done it - but I can tell that the holds are very painful, at least on the first part of the problem. Then, the setting is not the most beautiful you can imagine: it's in a nice wood with a river, but the rock is not beautiful and given that that boulder sees a lot of traffic the ground is badly kept. Maybe this, and the fact that Ondra gave it 8c+, make it little appealing.
Having said this, I add that If I could, I would go there and climb it, no matter what.

[iain]

Didn't Woods have a proper go? I 'think' Ondra said in an interview that only he and Woods could use one of the holds from the superstars who had tried.

[Jaspersharpe]

Perhaps too many people have seen the video of Ondra having to try REALLY hard on it and thought "fuck that!". Core is ridiculously strong.

[SA Chris]

Good Core strength
