For those of us who like our bouldering videos with energy (or who are soulless, as others have accused me of being for my relentlessly American-style taste for climbing vids)...
How do I embed from epictv?

I'm pleased to share a cracking wee film starring UKB's very own tc. He wanted me to put it in the non-quality section I think, no way!

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. The internet is full of bouldering videos with athletic, good looking young people performing extensively rehearsed bouldering sequences for the camera. We decided that there weren't enough videos of opinionated old blokes with missing teeth in baggy jumpers making it look like hard work. So we made a bouldering film with very little bouldering in it.

Link didn't work for me but it's currently on the front page. I liked that, nice tune for day 2 especially, start of problem looked cool although a bit dabby after that.

 Great film Tim and Matt. Sat here in London it seems a world away.....

Drop Sam and me a text and jump on the train. We'll supply transport, pads, psyche and coffee (or some weird tea concoction in Sam's case....).

Bouldering in Petrohrad another nice short from Jen Randall.

I think I'd place gear...

That arete to the right reminded me of the Monty Project.

Bit steep, but I see what you mean...

[stfu]

the arete is a pipe dream... if anything , you could move onto the face at a couple points

Not a bad comp - interesting to see Megos crush #3 after being spat off 1 and 2.

To be a legend, do you have to be sponsored by La Sportiva (and male)?

[turnipturned]

Just a Male Comp! I don't think you have to be sponsored by La Sportiva as JWebb is on 5:10 and god knows what Megos is wearing. I think its just like surfing comps were the Company just sponsors an event i.e. Volcom Fiji Pro!

JWebb is a total monster, met him in Rocklands, the guys is huge, tall and built like a machine, no wonder he screaming about his skin after that crimp problem, he must weigh the same as a small car!

[abarro81]

I think in previous years it was Sportiva climbers only but this year they brought in some others. Megos is Tenaya.

Indeed, he pissed that compared to the rest.

Problem 2 was a bit horrible to watch, the rest looked great. 4 was fine finish despite the lack of tops.

Nice commentary, both for the discussions of morphology and technique, and the regular "ooooh la la"

[a dense loner]

Jwebb is huge? Is this true? I thought he was but according to some stats he's 6ft tall

[Stubbs]

Turnip was standing closer to him than he thought, so he just looked bigger.

[ferret]

It might have been the perspective. For example if somebody saw only your head they would expect you have to the body of a small child, not that adonis like figure that i dream about on lonely nights.

I think JWebb wins the prize for worst look. Is the Amish thing hip right now stateside?

I'm in Bishop right now - there are a lot of folks rocking the scraggly beard/Fleet Foxes look - I'm not qualified to comment on the hipness of anything...
