Awesome video and imagine how much more productive Dan could be if he upped his weather forecast game! Relying on a single source (in this case the BBC app apparently) seems so last decade.

Think it was Dartmoor. Devon Sent in Bovey Woods and something on The Wave at Bonehill. But I could be talking utter bollocks.

That's right. The problem at Bonehill might have been Catching the Wave? There's quite a few variations on that part of the face though.

Thanks for the positive feedback, full credit to Rowan

That’s correct, one of the 8A from a sit, can’t remember which.

The other is Devon sent, got to be one of the best lines out there!

Isn't there also bit of footage of something in the lakes, and then one of your new brimham things near the end?

The wall near the end is Cashmere Cat at Sour Milk Ghyll.

Was wavering between quality or non, but the tune pushes it this side for me, plus Jim's a pleasure to watch climb. Love the way on Jerry's he only seems to decide which hand to go with after initiating the move!

I nearly posted the Timonov in non-quality as an example of how not to make a decent bouldering video.

Nice to see some falls off "Little Gem."

Those were my favourite bits too. I thought the 'driving to the crag' shots were so short they were almost ironic. Replaced by the 'drone over the crag' shot - which are pretty though.

(I didnt like the music...)

Kinda surprising Timonov hasn't managed OtW Sit yet considering how utterly piss he made the stand look. First move looks Hard.

This. Usually annoying sped up footage on full problems. Skimmed through some of it. Music was impressively bad. I wanted to see the top out of OTW more than anything.

It's one of the worst videos I have ever seen of such high quality crushing!

Some great stuff here. Sadly includes a perfect example of a pet hate: crouched ascents of sit starts, he barely bends down to start Thick End of the Wedge!
If your arse wasn't the last thing to leave the floor, it's not a sit, whether or not you used the same hand holds to start. And yes it often makes a massive difference.
Back around.

What if you can't reach the sit-start holds from sitting?? That's a pet hate of mine, sit starts put up by lanksters where the more compact gentleman can't even pull on to the SS...

Anyway, clicked on that video for the lowball choss, there wasn't any. 2/10 would not watch again.

😂

Folding pads so you can reach is OK. Some problems only work from a crouch, and that's OK too (but put it in the description, and don't call it "problem x sit"). But if it's a sit, that means your arse leaves the ground last!

Are bar stools in or they have to be stacked pads? Asking for a friend  :unsure:

#shortpeoplematter

Edit: Just watched the video and you are right. No excuse for that...

It shows a standing start? Or am I missing something?

TEotW is the sit start to Home Cooking.

Have to agree, well out of my pay grade but that is not a sit start?

Not done the problem so may be talking out of my arse, but hasn't he just done Home Cooking there at about 7A?! Taking the piss a bit as I'm sure theres an extra move or two in there but surely that isn't TTotW?

Great video though, I do enjoy that channel.
