Which is why we called it a whimsical reimagining, not a re creation or Documentary, apart from anything scratching up the lines with hobnailes would've been pretty un ethical , so the desert boots were the closest thing to achieve a look,  ... so I'm sorry our comedy / jovial re imagining isn't historically accurate enough for you ... I am aware of its historical lacking haha
More historically interesting is this :
http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/Bouldering_History1.0.html. and tbh considering we just wanted to make a light hearted re imagining I think the look isn't to far off :p

The look is not far off , I guess that depends on weather you've ever open a book on climbing history. Flat caps are 1940/1950s working class climbers rather 1915s upper middle class.

cerca 1890 flat caps in the Lakes bouldering.

anyway not gona get drawn in to this any further as i say it is meant to be a light hearted re imagining, and to make people realise the lakes is one of the earliest bouldering locations 100 years on. but mainly cause it was a light hearted and fun film to make and most people are happy to look past inaccuracy for the sake of a fun film.  that isn't just more normal  bouldering films like I often make for people ...

Liked this, cool problems.

Some Japanese Granite action...

[J.Kydd]

Really liked that

[Denbob99]

Some Japanese Granite action...

Great video, definitely one to keep on the hit list. I loved Japan while I was there, and that was without touching any rock!

[fatneck]

Here's Vol 1 from a while ago. Feel like it did get posted at the time...

[a dense loner]

Good vids. I really hope Toru is the strongest Jap! So strong. The granite looks great, but i don't think the skin would last an hour!

[Fiend]

^^^ exactly what I think, except I hope Dai is still the strongest.

[Fiend]

P.S. Yeah we did have that one already, I remember the slab at the start. Worth reposting for sure tho.

[Fiend]

Saw this on Ned's vimeo, ace trad-style line with some good action.

[andyd]

Honest question...did you mean to put that in quality rather than non?

[Fiend]

Yes.... It's not a great angle but the line looks quality, the problem looks quality, the cutloose is definitely quality, and a top UK boulderer rated the problem 

[andyd]

It's definitely a quality problem.

[fatneck]

Not super duper quality but what a move!!!

[cheque]

Not super duper quality

We could do with a thread for such videos really.

[Muenchener]

Mate of mine just sent me a link to this.



I assume I'm probably the only person on here who hasn't seen it before?

[andy_e]

It should be shown at climbing wall inductions.

Good ol' fashioned thermals!

Brain Storm is a sitter but I think it's mad to sit start in the dirt on such a tall line. I took a + off for not doing it
