Clearly quite the discerning gent.

Some very cool looking stuff in that aye.

SA Chris · September 23, 2023, 09:14:08 pm

Aye, none of this bone a set of rat crimps 'cos the number is big.

andy popp · September 24, 2023, 06:56:27 pm

Is this the most beautiful problem in the world (rhetorical question, obviously)?

Fiend · September 24, 2023, 07:34:00 pm

Nice one, that shows the difficulty better than any other footage I can recall

Some pals of mine went bouldering in Wadi Rum earlier this year, putting up new blodder problems. One of them, Eadan Cunningham made a nice vid of their time there.

Check it oot...

Sorry that I don't know how to embed youtube straight onto here... tech isn't my strong point

SA Chris · September 27, 2023, 09:05:32 am

Embedded fine.

Duncan campbell · September 27, 2023, 12:24:45 pm

Ha! I previewed it and it hadn’t!

JamieG · September 27, 2023, 12:32:19 pm

I don’t think they ever show as embedded in preview. Only once you post it.

Nice Dunc, that looks like a pretty sweet spot.

I thought that was absolutely beautiful. Gave an amazing impression of the place, and didn't make too much of the sillliness that is bouldering. Just an amazing experience of being in a stunning place, and finding beautiful pieces of rock to climb. The landscape shots were jawdropping. And sandstone does lend itself to pretty features. Great job Eadan - hope you keep producing films like this. Maybe another one in Scotland....

JamieG · October 09, 2023, 12:16:22 pm

I thought this was great. Bouldering is serious business after all.

Thought this was great, really high quality little film.

I've really enjoyed this whole series of vids, I think it's great that he's putting all the bits in where he's not having a great day and losing his shit a bit, I think a lot of people would have left that out of the edit. Interesting exercise in looking back on it a year later too and seeing where he's improved his tactics and mindset.

SA Chris · October 12, 2023, 08:18:21 am

Just shows, even wads screw up beta. Enjoyed it too, no issues with sound for me.

Anything from the guys at WOAH is great, West Coast Crimps (a modern take on Doylos masterpiece) and the 3 long form volumes are worth the watch.

SA Chris · October 13, 2023, 08:17:20 am

I expect it's more a take on the original West Coast Pimp, which Doylo named his masterpiece after. Probably the first bouldering film I ever watched (on VHS). Looks good though, thanks for putting it up.

"voices ought not to be measured by how pretty they are. Instead they matter only if they convince you that they are telling the truth" Bob Dylan, quoting Sam Cooke.

This, for one single moment at 13:00 minutes when Ondra mantles by his placing both hand on his own shoe. Never seen anything like it!

edshakey · October 17, 2023, 11:20:31 pm

Absolutely mental. Also the drop knee on his own boulder is bonkers, but maybe we should just expect that as normal from him

sirlockoff · October 18, 2023, 07:18:46 am

that knee angle reminds me exactly how I injured my knee for 2 months
