He could have had the decency to make it look a bit tricky.

I think Pirmin Bertle is a pretty cool name too.

Amazing looking route.

It's weird watching ondra on these 8c+s.you watch with the grade in mind and its bizarre as theres just not much indication of how hard the moves are.you can't tell if he s doing a font 7b move or a font 8a move,he just looks the same most the way up and doesn't look at his limit.he cant be if hes doing routes with wet sections!

Indeed. Still good though. Good filming, nice to see almost all the route. He looked a little bit under pressure at the top...

Jungle Speed looks like someone spilled orange paint down the rubicon wall....

Looks cool but the filming is scrappy, too many angle cuts, just show the climbing goddamit.

Cool looking route.

Wood FT · April 11, 2011, 09:45:06 pm

agreed, good ramping and lovely looking rock

Nice route but not so sure about the cigarette. I don't think it's possible to smoke and climb at the same time without looking like a d!ck.

$:-\$

Wood FT · April 11, 2011, 11:00:37 pm

oh I dont know, that casual looking chap in the BMC burbage guide on green death has got it down.
I didn't think it was a beer at the start either at first, more like one of those cans of energy drink that confuse the po po

its a PBR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pabst_Blue_Ribbon

a bit like a budweiser i guess, but for some reason seems to be considered slightly cooler (still pretty crap beer)

It's the hipster's choice! As I understood it, its popularity in the states was more due to its cheapness than its quality.

Nice!

SA Chris · April 14, 2011, 11:40:37 am

No Buoux style tears to the eye Jasper?

Never went to High Rocks, maybe should try and get there when we go visit family in Surrey next month.

Stubbs · April 14, 2011, 11:42:02 am

Would love to climb at High Rocks if it didn't cost £10 per visit!

grimer · April 14, 2011, 11:52:31 am

If you go to High Rocks a top roping kit would be handy. Never did any but the routes look brilliant, really inspiring.

Crazy that it's come to that. However, when you think about how much most climbing walls in London charge then maybe it's not so bad........

Look, as much as I love High Rocks even I'm not going to compare it to Buoux.

Go! But like grimer says, take a rope as well as a mat.

chriss · April 14, 2011, 07:06:03 pm

Haven't been down to High since my return from Oz, looks in really good nick.

I'm with Jasper £10 for a day there or £?? for a wall in London- no brainer really. On the plus side the price does keep the twats out......

Edit- Forgot to add good effort that lad!

Doylo · April 14, 2011, 08:45:58 pm

I was there last week.chimaera is a cool line .the ten quid thing is ridiculous.

Jaspersharpe · April 15, 2011, 01:08:32 pm

It's gone up and up because of the owner getting pissed off with twats not paying and breaking in apparently.

It works at about £6 to go to the wall with my annual membership, and its 15 minutes on my bike, rather than an hour+ in the car, so in some ways it is a no brainer. I just can't get my head around the idea of having to pay to climb outside, and as such will be attempting to find some free southern sandstone quality to boulder on this spring, I don't rate my chances!

Just move to somewhere north of Birmingham.
