Sessions is one of the first climbing DVDs I ever bought, and I've always fancied going there. Where's dense along to slate it?

climbed a lot of the lines on that video from HP40 - great lines. God Module is awesome. Rocktown is also worth a visit.

Not at all. Stringray he clearly hangs the holds and then moves. God Module has a very specific start. You must have both hands on the flake, put your foot on the wall, pull on and hold it for a second and then move. A french start would be easier. Dave does it perfectly.

WTF are you talking about? If you're going to be critical you could at least be a bit more specific, so you can be totally shut down on whatever point you're trying to make.

I think his point is pretty clear. It's just completely wrong.

Not watched the vid but stingray and god module do have starts that could look almost French, so prob not too far off the mark

They don't look like French starts at all in the video.

"WTF are you talking about? If you're going to be critical you could at least be a bit more specific, so you can be totally shut down on whatever point you're trying to make."

Oooft id forgotten the internet had such aggressive folk. i wasnt looking for an fight or anything. French was in inverted commas as two of the starts looked funny to me but clearly arent the full leap. it was a fairly through away comment. i ll not comment on the further to avoid keyboard gansterism, feel free to rip into me further...

It's only aggressive if you take it that way. The trick is not to take it that seriously. It's possible to say WTF with a smile, as well as a frown. Try it in the mirror!

I'll let the spelling and punctuation pass as you're obviously feeling sensitive :jab:

Which problems are you talking about? I can't see anything but static starts. David takes his foot off the ground before even initiating movement on God Module and Hangs completely static on Stingray before moving. I'm not sure what more you could ask for?

As you should...

Anything Else?
Don't resort to critcising people's grammar or spelling when arguing/debating - firstly it's rather scraping the insults barrel; secondly people often type to forums quickly whilst at work, etc; and lastly some people may be dyslexic.

People do get called out for french starts on God Module but I clearly don't french start it. The friends I was there with and I had spoken about it the night before. My left foot clearly leaves the floor, a pause, and then I go for the hold. I can assure you I would not be claiming the ascent if I had. As for Stingray you start dangling from a jug, if you are shorter than me it's actually a jump start. I could just reach it to pull off the ground and campus.

Other than that glad you are all enjoying the video. The South is a brilliant venue!

It was quite obviously aggressive. The trick is being able to read.

Good post that last one Dave. Brilliant place, that and god module hard 8A will keep my core going for days. Enjoy hueco

Accompanying the Sportiva comp vid from a while back and answering the question of 'is Jimmy Webb huge?'

1.84 metres, which is about what Sasquatch said.  Hojer is indeed huger and has the most positive ape index.

The HP40 vid problems looked great and not a French start in sight as far as I could see.

About the agro reply- I thought it was standard ukb practice. Like a kind of superior ukc. Different but the same.
