The only route climbing video I ever bothered making - just too much easier to film bouldering stuff.

Done years ago which explains the small size, dodgy editing, fact i still have hair in it etc. but doesn't explain how its still my hardest roped tick....

I have no idea if this is quality or not, as I can't get ReallycrapPlayer going at work.

It's pretty good. There's a crazy looking mission impossible style move towards the end.

Some 9a called KinematiX and a man called Cédric Lo Piccolo...



Awesome route. Awful musique.

I know that route is long and that, but it looks well juggy. If I was to try a 9a I reckon it'd be that one.

They do look like good holds, but maybe they aren't. Christian Bindhammer seems to think it was a mite tricky...

That looked path-like for an 9a, jug hauling (and some manufactured jugs at that :spank:) on steep ground.

http://www.tvmountain.com/rouhling/video_ciel.htm

fuck me.

I remember reading the fred article in ote 102, seeing that picture of this route and being totally blown away by it, if not by the climbing by the fact he was wearing a long sleeved salmon-pastel-shade t-shirt and a baseball cap on backwards. Its an enduring image. Great though that photo was it turns out after watching that video that it failed to convey the true nature of the route. For example i had no idea that the roof was that long with other massive moves off 2 finger pockets, or that before the crux theres a footless clip to be made off a 2finger pocket, or that theres a headwall to finish on monos. jesus H.

as for that other 9a video, it looks fucking piss in comparison.

Damn straight, them's not normal moves...



That's what 9a should be about: mind-bogglingly monstrous beastliness at ridiculous angles on improbable holds.

Seems Paxti Usobiaga has recently repeated KinematiX. He got it 5th go. But considering he's done a couple of 8c+s 2nd go (check all time score), and others 3rd and 4th go, maybe that means it's hard...  ;D

Ramon Julian on La Rambla Original - 9a+. Not a great video, but it gives you an idea of the route.

World's hardest crack climb? - F8c/+...

Quote
June 28, 2006 - Cobra Crack Update
Yesterday we reported that Canadian Sonnie Trotter had successfully climbed the hardest crack line in the world, Cobra Crack 5.14 b/c. Today we have more details about the climb and style of the ascent. Many climbers have noted that almost all of the modern hard crack lines are being climbed with protection pre-placed. This is often a result of gear being fixed from repeated falls or from the difficulty of cleaning such steep overhanging lines (for example, La Zebree 5.14a in Quebec). This has created a situation where certain individuals feel that traditional climbs made with pre-placed gear are less valid than ones where the leader has placed gear during the successful ascent. Other climbers don't agree with this position and view pre-placed gear as simply an opportunity for future ascents to improve on the existing style. Being aware of the potential for controversy, Trotter has removed any doubt about the validity of his ascent of Cobra Crack by placing gear on lead during his successful FA.

June 27, 2006 - Trotter Climbs the World's Hardest Crack
Canada's own Sonnie Trotter has freed one of the most coveted crack testpieces in North America, Squamish's Cobra Crack. It had been attempted by many of the world's hardest climbers, most recently by Swiss crack master Didier Berthod. Trotter tried the route 30-40 times over three years. He says “The rating seems to be falling in around the 5.14b/c mark.  It deserves a variable grade because of it's thin nature.  For some, the climb may feel like 5.14a/b, for others the climb may feel like 5.14c/d and on some rare occassions it could very well be impossible.  So, for now, it's certainly the hardest pure crack climb in the world. Cobra is 30 m long, with the crux pulling over the lip around the 2/3 mark. It involves huge dynamic throws between one and two finger locks, pain is ever present and the mental crux is overlooking the pain move after move.  The redpoint crux comes over the lip on a slippery side pull, the feet are next to nothing and it takes momentum and a huge throw to latch the final edge, at which point you're about 15-20 feet about your last piece of gear; it's really exciting.”

Didier Berthod attempting it:

Is this one of the most ambiguous statements ever made?

A few shots of Dave MacLeod's new 8c...

A few annoying close ups though (not just feet). Wish you could see the moves properly.

Bit boring till the end, but the fall is impressive...

Skip to 2:45 for the good bit.
http://www.yourclimbing.com/video-whipper_therapy_katies_scary_tombstone_fall

More of that. All seems to be speeded up. Skip to 2:20 for a fall.

Ru, more info here:

http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=57

There are approach details in the NWB guide and in the CC Tremadog guide. 15 minute walk in, very sunny place. There is also one of the most gob smacking unclimbed lines to go at, sort of a micro route/highball hanging prow with a groove in it. Could be protected with wires IIRC. Very hard though.
