Two videos of the same crack, the crack that seems to be taking more out of me than I am from it...

[Fiend]

So basically it's piss and a burd can do it. Good choice of line though! Move over 5m to the right when you've done it?

[Fultonius]

  Not sure I even want to get involved in Fr8a overhanging offwidths. [shudders]

[Tommy]

I know I'm probably being stupid, but where's the 8a offwidth video?

[Fultonius]

It's not. The offwidth is to the right.

[cheque]

Did anyone else watch this? Non-quality chuffing portions but fairly interesting travelogue thing. Probably more interesting if you understand a word of Italian!

[Fiend]

....not to mention sunset yoga footage

We had this video before on the previous page. I'm not complaining though as it's an awesome vid, got some big ginger nuts.

[tomtom]

Soz.. Don't look at the chuffing vid pages that often..

Aus' resident strong old man, Simon Weill having a rare day actually tieing in to tick an 8b+.

[jwi]

8c+ crack in Austria. Get in.

[Lopez]

Excellent footage completely ruined by an editor suffering of ADHD. But what a brilliant looking route 

[a dense loner]

Weill old? Good lord

[Fiend]

OMG travelogue etc but fuck me some of the climbing footage looks great as does that cute chipmunky blonde girl

I'm sure I could embed this from epiktv somehow, but anyway. That rock looks ace.

Anyone know what Tommy's putting on his fingers around the 40 second mark? Looks super-glueish but I suspect it's something less severe?

[Tommy]

Just normal superglue. You'd think it'd be a terrible idea, but it works very well! I use it occasionally on the back of my hands for very thin tape gloves as well.

Interestingly (or maybe not?) there's an exothermic reaction when you combine chalk and superglue - it's a nice little hand warmer :-)

[kelvin]

I can see all the punters like me coming (un)stuck at Millstone in the not too distant future.

[JohnM]

Is there any danger due to the toxins in superglue being absorbed through the skin?

safe for use sealing wounds and on skin init.

[moose]

The decomposition products of the glue are a bit irritant - might interfere with rapid healing.  Probably not much of an issue given how knackered your fingers would already have to be to use it.  From what I recall, the medical grade stuff is more stable to hydrolysis and less irritant, but absurdly expensive.
