Enjoyed this one:



Yeah, best vid i have seen in awhile. I did raise an eyebrow at the best lines/blocs/boulders in britain/Uk narrative.

Tempering my rising Braveheart Scottish patriatism {as that stuff is mostly Bullshit} and seeing that even though Dan has tried a few hard problems in the Celtic nations, its pretty clear that logistically its always hard to project anything more than a few hours away in the UK, plus its probably an edit for an international market.
I would still love to hear Dan's thoughts on whether there was anything worthwile in Ireland/Wales or Scotland that he was saving for another time or just didnt make the list.

Had a conversation this morning with a mate who is popping over to Font for the first time and i was trying to think of great problems specifically for his style, i was reminded of the BD Nalle in Font vid sequence of him trying to send La Puce with a fucked ankle and with "Non, Je ne regrette rien" playing in the background, i tried looking for it on line and have drawn a blank.

Anyone know of a link? or why it no longer exists?

Thanks

Very nice video on Carro Sinno's ascent of C'était demain and Nico Pelorson et Camille Coudert's attempts on the sit of Imothep. I imagine that English subs will be available soon.

Pedriza is on just about everyone's radar, was on my wishlist when i did big Euro trips back in the late 90s. For bouldering it looks nothing like this though.

There’s not only loads of highballs in La Pedriza, there’s about 100x more bouldering in general and and 100x more scope for development than hoyamoros haha

I think it's about a 2 hour uphill walk?
With pads, bivvi gear, food and water.

two hours without all the gear- luckily you dont need to schlep the water in, but works out easier doing one trip with pads then another with as much food as you can carry.

Yeah my understanding was, massive walk (massive enough you want to camp up there) short season (it's high) and brutally sharp rock. The lines do look incredible though.

Only 6 minutes in to this but it's gripping! If the remainder is of the same standard, and I have no doubt it is then it deserves to be here...

Good effort Mr Hutchinson!!!



Edit: just seen this is on the NQBV thread - travesty!!!!

Looks like it's been taken off youtube, hopefully there's another copy knocking around somewhere as it was a nice little vid.

Ryuichi obviously likes bananas (Monkey Wedding footage).

Incredible campus strength on Reverse Cowgirl too.

Sounds like e-bike territory.

Not really, e-biking uphill with pads on is a lot harder certainly than I had anticipated! Possibly harder than walking it, even on an unpaved road. Makes leaving a lot quicker though.

Yep - I think E-biking is more suitable if the approach is 2-3-4 hours by foot but is fairly flat or level terrain, I think anything that has a hard-ish technical gradient with say rock gardens etc it would just be easier to walk it slowly

I think fits the bill of Bouldering Videos That Are Mostly One Guy Not Getting Close To A Move In Bad Conditions, but are worth watching because of quality rock aesthetics, quality backdrop / setting, quality purity of line / move, quality walk-in time and quality perro:
