I had a copy of Doylo’s euro masterpiece - the one with the mushroom session at Ceuse, etc. I really need to see it again - Chris, can you help?

Doylo that film is fantastic. Brought back so many memories of my own trips around Europe and the stupid shit you get up to. Top tracks and banter. Everything climbing should be!

Nah young and impoverished. I couldn’t afford brothels until I got into rope access.

I enjoyed it (who doesn't enjoy watching sketchy hard grit ascents) but with the odd exception it doesn't feel like time has moved on from the Consumed era of 20 years ago.

I'd love to see the new 8c/9a generation tackling some obvious challenges rather than going over old ground e.g.

New Statesman ground up? Surely a contender with modern volumes of bouldering mats. Michele Caminati took the ride from pretty much the last point before good gear arrives and walked away (and went back the following week(?) and did it)

Mother of Pearl repeat - has this seen much attention? Has Ben Bransby made progress on it in his quest to tick Stanage?

I can see what you mean, I was thinking something similar (and you could argue it's not actually from 20 years ago, but more like 30+ years ago for many of these routes). But I don't think it's meant to be about the cutting edge. It seemed to be about those days out with friends; having a crack at something, sometimes getting up something, sometimes not (but getting away with it anyway).

A similar thought crossed my mind. Good to see all of these routes getting attention. A few of them must be near triple figures for ascents now. It doesn't take anything away from the film, it's not billing itself as the "sickest sends" after all. Are more people falling off these routes than in the past or was that picking out the good bits? I wouldn't fancy many of those falls!

Jim in particular is clearly strong enough to get stuck into some of the less travelled hard routes. I wonder what he's got his sights on?

Interesting to make this into a film rather than endless YouTube/insta clips.

Just watching this now, brilliant! Would be interested to know what the "hierarchy" was on these trips you lot went on. Looks like the rest of you are having to pull out all the stops to keep close to Ryan, was that how it felt or is just me? Missing Europe watching it!  :wavecry:

Pretty much. Pascal was the inspirational, talented one.  Danny wasn’t far behind usually.

Big Balls ... was great in it's straight-out-of-1998 blokeyness complete with authentic sounding soundtrack. Weird to think Jim was a foetus when Hard Grit came out! We all love to have our stereotypes confirmed and it's gained an appreciative audience across the pond who are reassured by Brits. behaving madly.

Michele Caminati took the ride from pretty much the last point before good gear arrives and walked away
Michele was extremely lucky on that occasion (missing the rock by inches) and even more so on Elder Statesman.
