He’s got an 8a.nu logbook for those interested. Like Adam said he’s done 5 8B+s. Done like 80 8th grade boulders all told. Far from the worst of the insta famous folk.

Those fucking little cut edit things on problem 2 can just go jump in a bottomless pit. Stopped watching then, can't be doing with good problems and footage ruined like that.

Seems strange to do it on that, small hard thing. Don’t mind it to speed up boring topouts etc

Yes definitely agree on that!

Only me that liked it then.

Feel free to move to non-quality.

I thought it was good

Plenty of time for Yves nailing some nasty little crimps.

If Kerrang made bouldering videos. :-) I quite enjoyed it, that last problem looked nasty.

Hah, it's fine. I'm sure some of the climbing is quality. Just out of interest, I gave it another chance and skipped through to the last problem you lot are talking about.... The first thing I saw when I hit play was a dramatic slo-mo close up of the person brushing then blowing on a hold, and that was enough.

To extrapolate further from what Doylo mentioned, I like watching cool movement on bouldering videos (i.e. usually the bulk of the problem and the harder climbing - slow top-outs or extended shake-outs etc are quite different). I especially like well-framed, good-angled, high quality, cleanly presented footage of cool movement. A fair amount of boulderers / video editors choose to do stuff that gets in the way of that footage and obscures the cool movement (those jittery cuts are especially bad, as is constant changing angles, slo-mo can be fine if it's edited in well), and I just don't like that - and my viewpoint, although increasingly cantankerous, is based on a positive desire to just see the climbing.

Some pretty cool looking limestone, if you like that sort of thing, which I do

Filmed on a crappy iPhone, the quality is the climbing

Might be a crappy iphone but the footage is nice and clear

Looks like a strong lad.

Needs more dog footage

Fuck that’s a cool vid. Better than the Colorado ones for me cause I know how hard all that stuff is and can really relate to it. A million sessions deep up there.
