Kai Webler does some great vids of the bouldering we have here in the North East US. There is so much good stuff, worth thinking about as a trip from the UK in my opinion if you come in fall, you can guarantee blue skies and cheap accommodation in upstate NY close to most of it.

His latest vid is pretty good.

Nothing particularly special about the video, but the problem looks incredible:

What if you don't like committing crimp ladders on impending walls tho??

I could do V7, in theory, with much working. So it is quite inspiring :)

Monkeyboy in font. Some amazing looking stuff that I'd not seen on video, or in a few cases even heard of.

Looks awesome. I'm really looking forward to seeing some of the footage of Jimmy from that trip.

Never seen anything like this, a kind of bouldering movie short.
Great camera work.... 8)

Hmm, if you turn the sound off it's just another bouldering edit. I was going to say the soundtrack is inappropriate but then I guess most are.

The production in that is superb, well shot and graded, really nicely done apart from the split screen - splitscreens are immediately confusing for the brain and a shitty production technique. Not so much of a fan of the soundtrack either, could see what they were trying but actually detracted from the quality of the climbing footage.

Got to get myself over to HCR at some point, looks amazing.

Whats the Ark and whats the Experiment? I thought that was awful.

It's blokes scuttling and scuffing up rocks, why can't we hear that instead, I completely sick of bouldering videos these days...

Totally agree, didn't even make it to the end. Too many close up shots of climbers and problems, no perspective. Too few continuous shots of climbing and too many single moves. Terrible soundtrack, no idea what they were going for with that...

I don't want to claim much, but click on my website and you will I am making an effort  ;) But surely I can complain... so I now know what the Ark is, maybe the experiment was to see how far they could push the genre of bouldering video somewhere dark and private.  :-\

Just out of interest why did you bother to watch / comment on it? I wasn't a fan of the video but respect the effort and can see some thought and creativity went into it. What do you think makes a good bouldering video? It would be good to know.

Someone has obviously put a lot of effort in to making it but personally I prefer videos with minimal editing/cutting and long uninterrupted sequences.
