Brilliant. It seems to be working again now. For some reason the Beardown stuff wouldn't play a few weeks ago.

U k b(ackintheday)
Ironic how I was pretending to limp at the start of the video and now thats how I actually walk...

Walk with a limp like an old school pimp.

Not sure if this vid of Burden of Dreams will embed as it's on the BD website and free to view but only for the next 5 days. It should help folk to decide for definite the true grade ...

What a great film, Dan C keep up your great work

Some great droning of Font, the start made me feel a bit queasy, good vibes.

Don't think it's been put up here before, apologies if it has
Everything looked gritty and tough in terms of how things were shot.
Akiyo showed what a class act she is, evilution looked really desperate.
Tomoa looked gutted at the end, there always next time.

Watching them two on the swarm has reiterated just how much of a f**king beast Alex Puccio is!

Yep great effort by Puch, but don't discount what akiyo and tomoa were doing it was a road trip at the end of the day. Looks as though conditions weren't great.
Anyway back with quality

The Japanese countryside looks fantastic, would love to visit.

FWIW, The Chieftain, which Steve does at the end of the video is not the same as the thing I was trying at Earl Seat which is described here:
http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,25204.msg541130.html#msg541130

Rob Fenton did a problem up the right of the slab which is steady away until you're established on the good foothold and eyeing up the top. Rob then used the crack and jumped, presumably to the jug which Steve crimps the edge of to move up and left. The Chieftain starts on the left and makes hard moves right to get established in the good foothold and then improves on Rob's finish by hard and reachy moves to get the top without recourse to putting your hand in the crack. Steve's top move looks like a gripper! The concave nature of the wall means you can pick up some nasty grazes from pushing away from it mid-fall!

I'm not dissing Steve's problem, which looks like it adds some good hard moves, using some impressively non-existant pebbles and crimps, just pointing out to those who might be interested that there is still very much something to do here in climbing the left rib and wall direct to the obvious slot. It's still worth the visit as I think this left direct would make the more logical problem.

Good effort, Steve. Glad to see something get done up there!
