Bouldering, buildering and chuffing. Quality for historical value (north face of Dru in 1935 etc)

I found this video where Lucien Martinez discuss long-term projects (“Fight or Flight” in Oliana in this case) very interesting, but Lucien speaks quite conversational in it, so I took the liberty to add english subs (well the owner of the video edited my subs slightly, now they are closer to the French original but somewhat ... hmm... less idiomatic).

Really liked that Fight or Flight video. Can relate to the feelings not being so amazing if the challenge isn’t so amazing. As I’m sure we all can.

Then the dedication to take a year off and train intensely then rent a room for 4 months in order to climb a specific route. Its inspiring. You have to wish the guy well with it.

I’m not going to give up work but I am going to get back on the proj tomorrow and dig a bit deeper with the training. Thanks Lucien - and jwi!

Looks incredible. Wouldn’t fancy that climbing with rope in mouth business though.

Another wad for the subs, thanks jwi. Really enjoyed the video to, feels like you could show it to your grandma and they might be a little closer to understanding why you spend every weekend in some grotty limestone cave trying to link the same 5 moves together.

Apologies if this one's been posted before.

Some nice footage of Tasmanian sea stacks. The first one (Slap Dancer) is a couple of miles from my in-laws place. Pity it takes about 3 days and a remortgage to get there...

Thanks, looking forward to watching that! Slap Dancer is really hard for 27 I thought, with a really weird crux. Very good climbing, though not a sea stack!

Indeed. Just watched the vid. Nice footage but was I the only one to find both the participants highly annoying?

I'm quite glad I didn't know that as I was able to give a completely detached opinion!

As Tasmania goes, those three places are not off grid, but admittedly they are pretty cool bits of rock. I acknowledge the possibility/likelihood I am being a grumpy old bastard :)

Yeah sorry, was more meaning Little Babylon in NZ, Peru and Serbia with that statement

Strange that’s it’s not credited on her Petzl team page (it is on her EB profile). Has all that stuff been cleared up?


For the sins of her father she will be forgiven. But... nobody knows really.

Caroline Ciavaldini and James Pearson not entirely selling the climbing at Ordessa, focused around an ascent of A Critical Eye (400m 8a on trad. gear)

Part 1: driving to the crag


Part 2: The route


Part 3: includes a snippet of RACS which has tentatively been on mine and AJMs list. I think we might both have to find rope guns!

Oh my God, there's going to be three of them.

I quite enjoyed the climbing footage, but all the low impact tokenism is very vomworthy. It's all very well filming yourself recycling a plastic bottle, but if youre that arsed why are you buying a plastic bottle in the first place? I presume it's linked to the travel slow stuff on the wild country website that popped up somewhere? Deluded at best, patronising at worst.

Good to see the Ordesa footage, have wanted to climb there since hiking through the canyon almost 20 years ago. The guidebook's sitting on my shelf ready for when I get the slow bus out there!

The usual slightly vom-inducing film.. but fair play for the message they're trying to send. However hypocritical or simply attention-grabbing an exercise it may (or may not) be. It's still a good message at heart to point out the relative impact of public and non-carbon powered transport versus private carbon powered transport.

I await the first sponsored climber to promote their low-carbon worthiness by racing a Tesla model 3 to the top of Verdon. Won't be long before electric vans are commonplace.
