I'm going to find it very difficult to get past the title of the video. Whoever has to come up with the clickbait titles at EpicTV was clearly low on inspiration that day.

Jani Lehtola doesn’t give up easily. Eight years of tries.

“Vittu” means c*nt and “Perkele” is an evil spirit.

I actually sat and watched the wholle thing. Strangely hypnotic seeing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

His body position on the send at the end was just amazing. Cool to see the progression through the attempts..

'A Christmas Carol' is a terrible title for a great book. Worth reading; all about a miserable dude called scrooge.

Well said Robbie, i think Ryan's {same guy who has done vids and pics for Dave Mac & Robbie Phillips} video is an honest light-hearted capture of a strong young climber projecting and topping out a really hard line. Well worth a watch, please don't be put off by Epic's title :)

 Interesting it says at the end that he's the 5th Scot to climb 8B+. I wonder who's keeping a list... Remus?

Dave Mc
Malc
Rhys
Will Bosi
Max Milne
Hamish Potokar

So Rhys is maybe #6 but are there more?

Is Hamish Potokar Scottish? I thought he was a Bristol lad. You might be thinking of Hamish McArthur but as far as Im aware he hasn't climbed 8B+, happy to be corrected though.

The rest of your list looks about right though (based on a quick filter through https://climbing-history.org/list/3/strong-british-male-boulderers).

Hamish McArthur is also English anyway.

Aaaah, I guess being called Hamish and having spent plenty of time at Dumby I must have just got his Bristol accent mixed up with an Edinburgh Uni one....

I'll happily accept "transient new Scot"  ;)

Being called Hamish McArthur and not being Scottish must be breaking some sort of law surely!

Hamish P is from Bristol, went uni in Scotland, but is now living in Spain afaik

New one from us lot at Stoned.

Some classics over at the school room! And before anyone asks, Turd Reich in the video is from what we found on the Stōkt app which is also why it’s 7C not 7C+!

Apart from ignoring the longstanding tradition of not putting your own videos in the quality thread, that was okay  ;)

Bit disorientating to watch at times but nice bit of psych to it.

I mean, Wedge vids are always excellent, but I particularly enjoyed this one. Really cool to see how Crescendo actually climbs; it's certainly not obvious when you're stood under it!

Nice, well put together. I think my favourite bit is how quickly and precisely he got the post-crux heel hook in - smooth as an oiled seal.

Really good! Hard to say why it so much better than most similar efforts, but I guess it is partly down to attention to detail on the part of the film maker and partly because the main protagonists have climbing styles that are pleasing to watch and can articulate what they are thinking.
It's because it's really quite calm and peaceful, lets the climbing speak for itself, clear footage with nothing getting in the way, and the little bits of colour / filler and short and fun. I really enjoyed it, simultaneously impressive climbing and a gentle vibe - like the last problem Jim is on, great music, calm celebrations, and just feeling how his success was fought for.

Loved Sam completely pissing the pinch block thing! Beast.

Properly inspiring stuff, got me psyched for my board.
