That looks brilliant, some big whippers in there

Some good-looking clips in that trailer.

Best climbing area in Scandinavia? Some 'Olas' might beg to differ...

I suspect the filmmaker use superlatives in the american sense. (I.e. as synonyms for the comparative or even the positive form.) Not everyone uses British english you know.

well they should. It's the only proper one

Cross thread pollination :D

Looks a fun climb. Offwidth-calibre climbing without an offwidth.

I'm this close to puntering, Fiend.

Can we have a written disclaimer that must be included in all posts combining the worst, most annoying video with the worst, most annoying audio?

I have to agree - where the feck was the quality chuffing? I admit I only managed to watch about 2 minutes of that guy having some sort of fit on a step before I got bored - is there hidden climbing at the end, or did the guy get taken to hospital?

Fiend · December 20, 2009, 08:39:56 pm

Read the title of the video and the one above it

Just a bit of fun

Ondra with a nice easy warm up for an 8c+/9a

Ondra's belay-bunny deserves a mention surely as a DFBWBelays?

The trailer for Crackoholic gave me properly swaety hands, looks ace!

She's not his belayer. He just takes her to the crag to observe his climbing. Gives you a grade right there. Andi E takes Stubbs.

Jeewooth doing Cider Soak.

Not sure if this was posted at the time or not, I thought it had been taken off vimeo. The thank god ledge bit looks terrifying!

Durbs · January 08, 2010, 04:49:44 pm

Nice, bit of an odd video really - quite an epic climb, compressed into 3 minutes, including a tour of his van...
Somehow doesn't do it justice

Stubbs · January 08, 2010, 05:02:56 pm

I think it's just an excerpt from the film made for National Geographic TV

It's useful that Vimeo videos embed with their title underneath, innit?

I saw that, but i am not one of these people that agree it should be called Biogrpahie.

GCW · January 13, 2010, 09:00:38 pm

Ah, but do you refer to the first half as such? If so he climbed both $:-\$

In some ways it's a sensible system.

Just think, you could go round bolting limestone in the UK and naming stuff "Ryan's cock's so small, you can't see it at all" and "Mick the twunt". Then when someone finally does it the name sticks, and has to get put in guidebooks.

Tris · January 13, 2010, 10:05:30 pm

Personally I think it's a bit daft. If I hadn't climbed any of the routes I've bolted, then I wouldn't expect to be able to name them. Until that time, they will be called 'Project'.
Luckily all of the routes I've bolted I've been able to climb, so I haven't come across this issue; however Like you say what's to stop me spotting some mint new mega line in Ceuse or Buoux sticking some bolts on it and calling it 'GCW dresses like a frenchman'?

Surely any fool can bolt a route, climbing a 9a or whatever requires slightly more technique and therefore the right to name it...
