World record repost there! Same page, 3 posts up, and a big video image for guidance

more consumed clips on again

It's the overall atmosphere that makes that one....eerie field recordings noises and such a bleak looking day...

can see its at shining clough, is it in the new moors guide?

Interesting film:

really enjoyed that, good find.

Agreed, very nice balance of adventure and self exploration without getting all zen n'shit. What's more impressive was that there wasn't really any climbing in it. I liked his objective of the day " To get everyone to as high as they want to go and then back down safely", made a nice change from "We're going to push it to the max and it's going to be like totally rad".

I would assume so, it's pretty well researched, and there were plenty of bumpy boys involved (Mark S, Andi Turner, The Enigma etc) checking out some of the harder stuff on the moors.

This is what I liked about the Consumed stuff....although the excess of constant headpointing is slightly nauseating and Dan Honneyman makes Jason Kehl look restrained and peaceful, their clips do show a lot of cool and interesting looking routes you never see videos or even photos of....and some gems no-one's even heard of.

Hven't watched it but presume its 'Cover me In Chocolate and Feed me to the Lesbians' the direct on Big Wall.

Another big thumbs up for Crusher's film - I've heard so many outrageous tales about him that his calm and happy approach totally threw me, not what I was expecting at all.

Very nice, inspiring.

Can't believe Al Hughes has had that under his bed for so long. Great find

[slackline]

Climbing on 'Natures Poreclain'

Also has a some stuff on Gogarth

Saw Dawes him in a pub just off the A55 we'd stopped in on the way back from a weekend in Llanberis sometime last year I think and he was having dinner with what sounded like a film crew from the snippets over-heard from the bar.

keeping on the esoteric grit front....



cheers to bonjoy for the belay!

[saulgilsenan]

You're unreal Nathan!

I don't believe you exist!

[Bonjoy]

Was good up there on Sat. Half decent nick and not a midge in sight. Beats scratching around trying to find dry lime when everything's seeping, condensed or in the sun!

[Johnny Brown]

Nice work! Amazingly Tetler soloed this as he didn't trust that flake at all - he didn't touch it on the lead and wouldn't put any gear in it (have a look at the chalk below). And you mantelled it with a sling around it - yikes!

James Pearson was there the day Ben did it, and was clearly angling for a quick second ascent. That soon stopped when he pulled a hold off the start, decked out on stretch, all before taking a closer look at the booming flake and scrittly top for himself... he muttered something about Ben being off his head.

Much prefer the original name Heartthrob. Ben's always been popular with the ladies...

. . .And you mantelled it with a sling around it - yikes!

Luckily Nathan weighs around the same as a bag of chips

Nice one Nath and Tetler    great pic, the flake looks particularly shipwrecked there

Why is it that I always 'hear' the word 'shipwreck' in my head with a distinctly Northern Irish accent?

I'd seen the chalk on the photo but that rock up seemed sketchy and the slopers felt awful in the sun. The leftwards exit just happened to be easier, not that you'd trust the flake really!

[Bonjoy]

It felt okayish to stand on top of (on a toprope), especially on its far left. You're on good handholds as you teeter over the worst bit. You would NOT want to test the sling though, but as I said to Leeroy, if you fall off the top without it you WILL be dead, if you fall off with it you MIGHT be dead (under a flake). Avoiding it totally looked gnarly, especially with sun on the slopers.
To be honest I thought the bit lower down was more worrying. The holds Ben is stood on in the photo are over-positive up pointing little flakes that you have to do a huge lock off on.

[Tommy]

Great looking line. I remember going over there one year and being so knackered with the walk-in that I never climbed anything! Such a wimp.
