maybe a bit harsh on BOTW, the first time i saw it i was staying at a friends in cali, to say he worships the big man would be an understatement. however even he was cringing. it was a bit better on second viewing i will admit. i will go on record saying NG needs a blow torch and pliers taking to him. you can tell him that if you're sat next to him ;)

Fair enough, its not Pilgrimige cringeworthy though!

Yeah the presence of NG does somewhat ruin the video, but i think most of the footage is excellent, and it's probably one of my favourite videos.

THe Hueco footage on the new Dosage video is fooking quality.

Went to a showing of Dosage while I was in Yosemite. You can order it from today.

Depends what stuff you're into re: offal.

THe hueco footage is awesome, the return to swizzy footage (which they only showed a short clip of) will be great, it includes sharma on the dyno graham was trying on the last video and graham on coup de grace. The Sharma dreamcatcher footage is also brilliant, and they only made it a short dose, so as not to over egg it. Besides that you get Tommy doing laps on the Nose - seeing somebody be happy that he got to 5.11 chimneys after 50 pitches 'because he didn't have to use his arms any more' is pretty damn impressive. Then you get Lisa Rands on Gaia, which is impressive if only to see how she does the crux.

So I guess that's three good uns and two ok ones.  At least there's no 'return to balance' bollocks.

Bigup are definitely pretty good re customer service - sent it out on the day of order.  I've admittedly not received it yet, but if Dosage3 was any guide it should be here no later than most UK mailorder places generally take.  Praise be to the exchange rate - I think you can still get a subscription to Climbing for about £13 too.  In spite of the number of adverts it still usually has far more good, interesting reading than any of the UK mags... the features and articles are just somehow far more personal and engaging than the usual "guide to the laetest Rockfax guide area" stuff published here (with the odd laudable exception).

Whilst seeing Dosage4 did you get to see much of First Ascent?  There's some spectacular stuff on that but a lot of it seems curiously underplayed.  The eventual ascent of Cobra Crack feels almost resentfully included because it wasn't done by Didier, the ostensible "hero" of those sections (though Greenspit looked awesome)?!  Same with some of other footage - spectacularly hard run-out climbing (e.g. Dean Potter) but relatively little drama comes across.  One of the few occassions I've felt a bit more "over-egging" and Dosage style whizziness would be welcome.  Although subsequent viewing have engaged me more.

Some of the extras are pretty good though, including a sickish looking trad route called Iron Monkey.  But, of possibly more interest there's some Fred Nicole footage.  Very welcome for me anyway as I have only ever heard the controversies(Akira 9b etc) rather than seen the climber.  He struck me as akin to a looser, more acrobatic version of Sharma (if that's possible).  There was something almost feral about him... swinging gleefully footless off the monos of his home-crag.  The possible 5.15 he does for the cameras looked... well everybit as evil as you would expect.

Yeah they showed a lot of first ascent, was thankfully spared the footage of timmy o neil....  the footage of Didier was awesome, he seems like such a chilled out but focused guy, and yeah, Trotter was definitely the 'villain' of the piece.

That Black Canyon of the Gunnison looks like the scariest place in the world....

Did you miss the "H" on purpose to try and say that I had spelt it incorrectly, because I put it to you that it is YOU who have spelt it incorrectly.

Sorry for the mistake fellas... thankfully you are all knowledgable enough not be led astray by my ineptitude with names (would it be possible to re-edit... for clarity if nothing else?!).  Agreed that Fred seems a lovely humble bloke.... the sheer physical glee he expressed in his movements was wonderful.  His climbing hard moves just appeared a means of his accessing even greater levels of personal joy (although he did appear to be using it as an excuse for some earlier chipping).

Guilty your Honour.  Guilty of slowly, but most definitely surely becoming a fucking pisshead...
