Lovely! And a dashing beard too....

Yossarian....I'd go along, once elbows are fixed!

P.S. I had that cut loose picture at 8;10 on my wall, back in the day

Let’s do it...

I’d love to climb in Buoux as well. I’ve always thought “that’s not my style” but I’m not really sure I have a style any more!



I enjoyed this. Feels a bit like it has a beginning and an end but no middle but maybe BD asked him to edit it down.

That was great! Make you realise how much of a hero Chuck Pratt was to do this in 1965

There are a lot of different styles there. But 95% of them involve pockets, so train that before you go to help avoid injury.

Found this hidden away on the Mammut YouTube channel. Trishul Direct (750m 7b / A2) on Shoshala in the Baspa Valley, Himachal Pradesh. Amazingly it was apparently discovered during a Fred Nicole / Bernt Zangerl bouldering trip. They had a pretty unfortunate time with the weather, but the route looks epic.

Thanks, I really enjoyed that, low key in every sense but many lovely scenes. And Elie Chevieux!

And Elie Chevieux!

Onsights vertical 8a off the couch, after having spent a few months working as a photo journalists, god knows where. The most talented climber of his generation.

Jacopo Larcher climbing what might be the hardest gear protected climb in the world.

Ace!! Looks beautiful, would like to have seen more full climb footage. Good name too. Patio hall of shame tho?

[remus]

Enjoyed that, Looks fucking desperate.

Nice little video of a great route. Back in the days when it was a mixed route (as in bolts+gear) I dogged Electric Avenue but wasn't a good enough climber to do it in a day.

I appreciate that neither the filmmaker nor the climber has any control over this, as I'm sure that it is BD media-team that set the title of the video, but what is up with the american style of constantly bumping the grades in magazines and videos? Electric avenue must have had at least thirty ascents by now (more than a dozen before chopping the bolts, more than a dozen after) and I never heard anyone claim that the original grade of 8a is out of line. 8a < 5.13+.

Very nice, really enjoyed it, absolutely gagging to go back to Bohuslan now!!

Meltdown 2nd ascent

Up to Speed It’s not a perfect fit for this thread (couldn’t find a “Quality comp climbing videos” thread  but I thought this was a really entertaining film (a perfect fit for the played-for-laughs Reel Rock style) that educated me on speed climbing and what the general public’s main interest in/ reaction to climbing in the Olympics is likely to be.

Unless it's my work blocking it, I think that the UKB conversion from "RB" to "overcaffeinated...etc" has stopped the link working.

Oh yeah. Works if you change the url back manually in the address bar.

Seb, Mamichula (and some product placements).

Two videos of Alain Robert in all his glory

https://www.grimper.com/video-alain-robert-les-extraits-collector-solos-les-plus-fremissants

The first one shows an interview and bits of a solo of Compilation 8b in 1991

The second shows bits of Pol Pot in Verdon, surely one the most audacious Free solos of all time. Every time I rap in over the line I get nauseous at the thought that some mad cap has soloed that.

Blue Wave had some nice climbing footage but a pretty bland overall. Also liked the comment about him pushing so hard without injury....and then showing most fingers and one shoulder mummified in tape...

Liked the footage in this three-part series of Nathaniel Coleman chuffing in Arizona
