Tresor does being asked that give you the same feeling a Canadian gets if being asked if they're American? 

[fatneck]

It's the cry of encouragement that I have no idea of spelling for but sounds something like "Go Bien" that I associate with Swedish Meatballs and that other awesome climbing film Kjugecull (apologies for bad spelling Tresor) that made me think they were Swedish...

Is it a Scandinavian thing?
What does it mean excatly?
How do you spell it?
And can I shout it at my mates in Font?

Thanks...

Kom igen?

[tomtom]

Hoya Moros looks amazing... anyone on here ever been?

[fatneck]

Kom igen?

That's what I got when I googled "Come On in Swedish" too John Doesn't look right though....

[tomtom]

This might have the requisite motivational response...

LOL!!!

No need to appologise for your swedish, if you all put up with my english I will gladly accept any attempt at swedish from everyone here.

Watched the movie again and it is actually "Kom igen" and an occasional "Kom igen då" they say, come on/come on then in english. Same in norwegian and swedish and I guess the danish would say it also. No problems for a swede to understand a norwegian and vice versa it just sounds a bit funny then a norwegian person says it, they always sopunds so damn happy/jolly then they speak atleast for a swedish person.

Proper swedish "Kom igen" with my local dialect:

Your not allowed to spot here if you can't say it repeteadly until the climb is finnished.

More "Swedes Crush Font" pr0n, this time from Shitty Productions...

The first problem Nemesis looks ace, shame some fucker chipped it down to 6B

[Grubes]

Still worth a visit even if it only 6B now. the 6A crack on left is really good too.

[fried]

Never been to Tennis, I'll add it to my already extremely long list. The crack looks class too.

I always find it interesting how much some of the words in the Scandinavian languages sounds like Scots. Like in the video you link they say something that sounds really like the scots word 'braw' which means good. I guess its the viking influence.

Interesting song lyrics in that video too . . . .

Well yes, I'm told Faroese is basically scandinavian although I believe the dialect is about die out.  Far north scots sound very scandinavian to me. They're a lot closer to Bergen than London after all. There's a lot of norse in northern England, eg thwaite, mirk and probably a load more remains in local dialects. Don't they say ' laken' for 'play' round Bradford?

[Mike Tyson]

Laken around used in Cumbria meaning messing or fooling about.

I think 7a is a bit mean for the Anchor, and 7c very generous for Ripple Effect. And I always thought Pair In A Cubicle stayed right of the crack. Otherwise, a nice video.

I'd heard the 7c/b+ for Ripple Effect referred to an eliminate that started quite far to the right and lip traversed the right-hand side before reaching the arete - that the version that used the left-hand side as well was a good few grades easier (possibly called the Green Room?).  Anyone know what the current consensus is - is it an eliminate or was it just bad beta did the first ascensionist just use bad beta?

[andyd]

I do ripple effect from double leg bars out to the right and pull up to the lip with my right hand and work left to where this guy started. I don't think it makes a big difference in grade where he started but it's a strenuous yet fun couple of extra moves.
I think it's 7b+ in this style.
This guy crushes the crux move.

Dave on the FA:



Starts a move in from where I start (matched on ledge), but otherwise the same (although I guppy the arête like in the prev video). I'd say 7b?

looks like an easy but rather cool hand-crack topout, what's the problem?

Dafuck?? The top-out is the proudest bit of the line!! I like how he takes a while on the VS jamming section, obviously just relishing the fun of it. The rest does look like an impressive masterclass in body tension too.
