Maybe you get onto the top bit and it would just feel horribly contrived to ignore the obvious holds going off to the right? Maybe the traverse adds interest and spice where there would be an otherwise drab top section? Maybe where the patina has worn off the rock it's a bit shitty?

I assume the man knows his business  :shrug: :tumble:

I was thinking this, J Tree kitty litter. The story of that block is pretty cool too https://www.mountainproject.com/route/106104512/iron-resolution

Ye lovely looking stuff, that first problem looks amazing.  I kind of assumed the arete had maybe already been done and traversing right was a new/ harder variation but that was just based on it being an obvious looking line.

Nice, wonder if the bolts from the sport route are still in it?

I know one of his diary episodes was in non-quality due to product placement but enjoying these episodes from Ghisolfi. This may be a bit geeky but thought it was good.  Nice and laid back/ low key for a guy climbing at this level.

Yeah they are (or were), was trying to find the article about Sharma’s FA which mentions them!

a nice engaging video from DMac being, well, DMac, and dealing with the horror of trying to climb in Scotland.

Really shows the benefit of having mountain rock rather than grit as your local, where you only need a small dry spell to get stuff climbable rather than a dry day. Not sure if this balances out how much wetter Glen Nevis is though!

Love Ryu's climbing style, so floaty. Also like the chilled videos.

English subs. Worth it for the sequence in the end when he calls his mother and explains that Big Island Assis is not, in fact, 9A

Matt Fultz doing a simply obscene number of hard boulders (in a day?) at the Hueco Rock Rodeo last year:

Fuck me, that's a good effort.

Worth clarifying that the rock rodeo is 'what's the 6 hardest problems you can do in a day' format, so it is indeed all the same day. Even more impressive is that it was his first time going to that part of Hueco so he didn't have any of them worked beforehand.

I flippin' love Matt Fultz, he's strong, not twiggy and come across as a cool guy. Bonus points from me because he's not sponsored by one of the top trendy shoe brands. Just feels a bit like he bucks the trend of top boulderers.

Typically eloquent DMaccy with a typically good display of strength and cunning on a typically scenic Scottish bloc.

Shame that the ambience is spoiled by the baldy punter at the beginning  :P
