Non quality in terms of visuals but quality in terms of making the effort to explain the process

Crazy how being 6 inches taller makes climbing easier 😄

Nico Pelorson is not very tall and to all accounts found it even easier.

That dude seems to have an agenda to keep Fontainebleau sandbagged, which I respect!

Hilarious and weirdly inspiring.

Not a fan of the overall vid but the actual send footage is really cool

Not to my taste at all. Nevertheless, what a mega siege of what looks to be a uniquely resistant set of moves. Can't see much extra rubber or trickery altering the grade of this one. It's bound to get more attention than BOD given reliable conditions, skin friendly holds, and proximity to other great bouldering.

Surely the (potentially) hardest boulder ever climbed deserves a thread of its own.

Also being strength endurance based (like Grand Illusion) it should suit the newer breed of comp wad climbers too.

I really like the edit, it's distinctive and interesting, and actually made me want to watch for 15 mins, rather than skipping to the send.

We should crowd found Albert to go and try a barefoot ascent

[edit] the video was not to my taste. I liked the music though.

What don't people like about the video!? It's high quality footage of the best boulderer in the world raging on the hardest* boulder in the world!


*Probs gets repeated before BoD though

I liked it too. Glad they did something a bit different with it rather than sticking to the usual formula.

I'm not into the music but that's just personal taste obviously. Anything trying something original/ different gets points from me. Definition of a marmite edit judging by online comments.

Didn't grab me.
Skipped to the send which is a proper beaut.
He looked sooooo close to dropping that top again.
Surely that frenchy with the feet wouldn't piss up this, would he?

I liked that, better than just another talking head harping on about pushing themselves. The rock looks befitting of a 'world's hardest' problem. Anyone notice how tiny his pins were in the send footage? I hope he got himself a burger afterwards.

I liked it too, but 10 minutes would've done it for me rather than 18

I watched it, it was fine, some good aspects, some less good aspects. I don't actually have strong opinions on the video - is that even allowed??

What struck me more than anything about the video was how hard the climbing looks. You’re constantly going into what look like thumb sprags over your shoulder. Never seen anything so thumb intensive in my life!

Anyone notice how tiny his pins were in the send footage?

You’ve been watching too much rugby Guy.  ;)
