Got round to watching this the other night, love that he starts by talking about the proud distinctive arête (which is chalked up), but his problem finishes dropping off a jug some way below it!

Haven't you been following the Brandenburg Gate thread? That's how its done these days

Love that song - far too long since I've heard it.

FA of 'So What' V15 in Tremblant, Canada by Yves Gravelle inc some insane training footage

I'm going to award this guy the London Climber Order of the Monkey Room for services to weighted pull-ups and not going outside very often.

Not sure this meets the bar for "quality bouldering" but relevant. Maybe could be in the Ultimate Feats of Strength thread. Either way, I'd never heard of "Armlifting" before...

Baring Head, lovely place, takes me back to stopping there for a couple of days about 20 years ago. Baring Head trivia - it's one of two locations on the planet used for it's purity of air quality to benchmark atmospheric CO2. The air that hits land there comes from the Antarctic and is free of impurities. Baring Head air is the reference standard of 'southern oceanic air'.

Apparently Baring Head air is out of stock:  https://www-s.nist.gov/m-srmors/view_detail.cfm?srm=1721

Not content with being a tin and copper mogul, I expect your garage is packed to the rafters with Baring Head air cylinders, the result of a dastardly plan to buy up the world's supply, drive up the price, and drip feed it out to desperate climatologists at premium rates.

Mellow vids are all quality, but this one is particularly fun

I love how he does the 8B bit in about 30seconds, then goes in to full ledge shuffling mode for the next 5mins 

[tim palmer]

Even more impressive he flashed it having to do it the jumpy way which I think is supposed to be pretty nails (even for 8b)

I'm pretty sure Carlo Traversi said the jumpy way was one of the hardest single moves he'd ever done.

Also, is it just me or is the audio a few seconds out of sync with the footage??

The pads blowing away was hilarious, really cracked me up!

Not sure it ever got mentioned but Brian Nugent also flashed it a few years back, wonder if he got $11k from Lincoln too?

I wonder if there's much difference in the top outs. The Mellow vid looks a bit techy on the traverse right (but probably not droppable) to get to a juggy plod on the right. This bloke's finish looks scarier and more tenuous.

[dunnyg]

The direct looks a better line, though if I had done the bottom, I likely wouldn't care too much

[turnipturned]

Pretty amazing boulder (in my eyes, the best 8B in the world), the boulder is huge and this is pretty much the only thing up it. Crazy.

Always inspired me hearing the Quill did it all those years ago? Only Brit to have?

Agree, have always thought that, its mega.

Someone else must have done it by now...?

Loved that footage of Ryan on West Coast Gimps...

Pretty sure its never been done again getting the 3rd rail ( crux) with heel in the starting jug! That's some fuckin length that is. Narrow V10-like heel needed too. Hard release after was the crux for Quill. Definitely one of the best in the world.

[cofe]

Footage of Ryan doing it is so good. Unless you suffer from motion sickness, I guess.

[Duma]

This been on?

Big Dyno at Dunlichity, also a sit for a half grade more. Grade to be decided. Probably somewhere between f7B-C for stand and f7B+-f7C/+ for sit depending on dynoing ability.... Had some strong (and sponsored) people try it but it's not been repeated yet....but both thought f7C/+ without topping it!

has the sniff of 7a+ to me bud

[BenjyW]

A strong contender for the strathnairn f7A+ "grade band" that is for sure
