Stunning line. The gear looked good?

This.



Man I so love Buoux. Best memories of my life are in this valley.

[Wood FT]

Yep really enjoyed that

[jwi]

That was very good. If the rest of the series is of this standard I'm going to get myself some EBs

We were suppose to go to Margalef next week. Watching videos will have to do.

Ermm… isn't that Gav sat down behind the guy belaying in the middle?

Yup. Early 1992 on the Plage at Buoux.

[mrjonathanr]

I recognise La Plage, not too many of the climbers..although it looks a bit like Matt Saunders lowering off Exces de Zele/. Also that terrifying belaying with rope through big bit of 8 and biner only.

John Boyle, me, chris warmsley, ian harrison, plantpot, steve Adams, Werner gamstrger, mark lowering off.
Not sure who’s in the purple fleece at front.
Happy times when life was so fucking simple.

Steve Mac on Nightmayer

[UnkArl]

Wow! Maximum sweaty palms - Steve Mac, what a legend!

[SA Chris]

Going to get that on the telly tonight rather than watch on phone. So psyched to see it.

[Doylo]

I wonder if he’ll concede he’s not just a scaredy sport climber now 
Hardest/gnarliest trad onsight in history?

Not even a lash. Waddage.

Nalle Hukkataival. Silbergeier. Very little talking. 10 min of getting to the crag.

[andy popp]

Though not actually 10 minutes of simply driving to the crag.

Anyway, not watched it yet (it's long) but this looks like it could be good.

[mr chaz]

Think some driving to the crag footage would actually be pretty welcome right now. Infact, fuck the climbing, I want pure footage of driving to the crag, making a coffee, collecting your crashpads/ rope, saying hi  to your mates in the car park, singing in the car, turding beneath your mates project etc etc.

[HaeMeS]

Here you go. Lots of walking, cooking, fooling around at the crag mountain. Maybe a bit to alpine for some. But with 2 crazy Belgians   






"The Pathan Project is now online until 15 April. The award-winning film directed by Guillaume Broust documents the 2018 climbing expedition to the Thagas Valley, Karakorum, Pakistan carried out by Nicolas Favresse, Mathieu Maynadier, Carlitos Molinan and Jean-Louis Wertz"

[SA Chris]

These got me thinking; with such high quality material out there for free, why would anyone pay to watch a climbing film?

[Muenchener]

Though not actually 10 minutes of simply driving to the crag.

I'd watch a film about somebody trying to drive to that crag. Icelandic style monster ice trucks etc.

Here is something for people who do not have time for hour-long videos.



Agincourt, uncut video. 3 min 16 s.

I agree some absolute class films have been released lately for free. I'm not rushing to buy the latest Reel Rock 14, for example.

Thanks, great to watch. Is there similar footage of older ascents? Be interesting to compare how modern footwear / training / climbing "style" allows it to be climbed.
