Nice film! I always like to see that amount of syke, and how he stresses the importance of a positive climbing community (my pipedream!). Nice footage of the send, like the cameraman's quiet encouragement and the finger slip....

It's cringeworthy isn't it. Interesting though how some people can spend decades in foreign countries yet never lose their accents, whilst others go native in accent very quickly. Must be something to do with re-wiring the part of the brain used for language acquisition. I'm thinking here to some Yorkshire types I met in Canada who'd been out there for twenty years yet hardly sounded different.
Also interesting how I find it odd to hear someone's accent change, like they've dropped part of their personality, but really it's probably a pretty useful thing to be able to do.

I've got to say that if you're from The North or Midlands and spend a significant amount of time talking/ working with Europeans or even Americans, then you just simply have to change the way you speak or they just don't understand you at all. As weird as it might sound it's the only way really, I find myself having to talk like this in these circumstances all the time, as the natural accent from those UK areas means that you miss out quite alot of most words, so you have to start and finish your words instead of just shortening everything.

Considering his wife is French it's hardly that surprising it it?

Still cringe though

Can't imagine Churchill giving in to such weakness of spirit - he'd just have spoken at much higher volume and more slowly

But no, it's not really surprising, however yes it is funny as fuck and yes I (like most) am easily amused, this makes me lol:

And it's not obligatory - seems the Yorkshiremen I met in CA were too stubborn to let their vocal chords submit to their environment!

Probably not a good day to be belaying at the top of Sennen...

Impressive technical, open book pitch climbed by Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll...

There are other videos in the series.

Impressive cave...

Infinite Jest, hard multi-pitch climbing on the Wendenstock, mentioned previously on the long, hard and free thread. Quite a lot of talking but some great footage of this amazing-looking place.

Episode 4

Just watched the Pearson / Schteeve MacLaren / Joey LeBarton vid. I totally get how that can happen but it's still bloody funny.

andyd · January 18, 2014, 04:55:18 pm

Possibly been posted on here before. What an eye opener...

standard · January 27, 2014, 02:36:47 pm

cross post from the other channel.
doesn't look like a legit source, but they linked it...

slackline · January 27, 2014, 02:55:30 pm

Already in ondrawad thread.

UKC most use /r/climbing as a news source

Doylo · January 27, 2014, 05:59:30 pm

I don't think Big Up will be too happy with whoever put that on YouTube . They're trying to sell DVDs!

Footwork · January 27, 2014, 06:10:57 pm

Hahah, looks like it's been put down already. The last bit with James P though, what a wicked line!

Doylo · January 27, 2014, 06:54:46 pm

I was a bit pissed off when I saw it had gone online as I bought Reel Rock purely to see Dura Dura.

Doylo · January 27, 2014, 07:06:35 pm

UKC have deleted the news item and thread. A bit stupid to post it in the first place really

I bought Adam Hocking's Meltdown to see McHaffie climb Meltdown.....a few months later he then stuck it up on Vimeo for all and sundry to watch/download for free.

I've a vague recollection that soon after first registering here I might have bunged you a few quid (no doubt to cover costs/materials/posting rather than profit) for West Coast Gimps and Stoned Love too.

Doylo · January 28, 2014, 09:53:47 am

I put WCG online 8 years after first selling it, I think that's ok.

SA Chris · January 28, 2014, 10:20:51 am

No it's not. Anything you do is not OK, as a rule.

slackline · January 28, 2014, 01:20:51 pm

If it makes you feel any better Doylo it wasn't an official release, so no grievance can be had with Big Up.

Local 8c+ gets it's 2nd ascent after 10 years:
