Second problem in, starts at 0:58



Amazing dab on that 4th problem, that's the one that's features umpteed times on here in the past isn't it? You'd maybe think given the dab that the doubled pad to start from might have been overkill.

Maybe CORISCOC need to come up with some handy signs to alert people to the dangers - "ATTENTION: RISQUE DE DABBAGE"

how did no one there call it out?? the start on triple pads (one plus a double one) or the second start

Ermm.. isn't that Nicotine Alley minus the finish? Surely it finishes on the high jug- tricky when tired?

Yep, definitely finishes on the high jug. One of the best, and well-known, problems on the sandstone so it seems strange not to finish it properly.

Yep, definitely finishes by rocking around the arete onto the slab. One of the only good bits of climbing on southern sandstone so it seems strange not to finish it properly.

I'm not convinced. Certainly something stopped the swing (his body stops dead while its still right of the hold) but it could well have been the very well coordinated toe hook he gets in as he jumps?

And a sit start, of course.

Yes, he is occasionally touching me on this go. No, I don't care about your opinion. My spotter kept me safe with limited pads. Minimizing my risk while I am trying hard is more important than risking injury that could prevent me from climbing. Got it? Good 👍

Yes, I landed flat on my butt a couple tries


Fair play, I say. Better going home in one piece than with a dicky spine. As discussed further up the thread, on a problem like that if you haven't got your hands right next to someone then you're not really spotting them.

Great. Just don't post how proud you are to send it.

Couldn't watch the video, the accompanying spray blinded me.

That is denial right there, back around.

That kind of goes without saying regardless of any t-shirt dabs.

For me its the fact shes posted how proud she is to have conquered the fear element of doing it!

How by having someone carry you along the moves, obviously not overcome a great deal?

Just my two pence and not that it really matters! But it does!

To be honest, I don't think the guy actually interferes with the climbing that much, but if she'dve cut loose on any single move he'd have ended up holding her.

But there is NO WAY that I could climb with someone that close to me. It would completely freak me out, even if I really liked them. I might watch it again, just to feel really uncomfortable.

I need a second opinion on this one, as it's quite controversial.

Dai Koyamada on the FA of "The Story of Two Worlds low start V16"

Although the dab in question is not actually in shot, @14:06 there's that faint scrap against the mat sound that haunts every lowball boulderer's nightmare.



perhaps that's why he bursts into tears afterwards :worms: (I know my eyes swelled up when I caught the finishing jug on Jess' Roof only to become aware of that faint lingering scrap sounds that meant I had to do it again) ;)

No doubt this is a duplicate but he's just re-posted it to his blog as a reminder, anyway etc
