I love the reading of the summit book in that. In fact, summit books are just great. There's one in Yorkshire which only has a few entries and must have been there for something like 30 years now. The staples holding all the paper together have rusted and the soft pencil in the box is really blunt - I think if it was sharpened it would rip the paper. It's got Jerry Peel, Dave Musgrove, Tom Peckitt, and poignantly, Tony Barley - a Yorkshire great who has sadly passed, but who's routes and words still linger on Yorkshire's moors.
Jerry Peel's entry reads: "Some days are meant to be, and this is one of them".

Brilliant!

This is how I enjoy trad now, from a distance.

[Duncan campbell]

 :weakbench:Great to see that even masters of trad like Caff gibber sometimes!

Mega effort on the successful go Caff! Looks wild the whole way.

Now that is a quality chuffing video. First time I’ve felt inspired to film for ages.

[andy popp]

Amazing looking pitch, it looks like it goes on forever! Presume that was ground up (looks like all the placements had been marked up)?

[duncan]

Caff blogged about his ascent. 

I’d clocked it was going to be a sandbag and on arriving at the base and looking up at it I immediately gave up on trying it without an inspection. If Ryan had been there I would have sent him up for a laugh to check out the flight paths and test some gear.

Loved the video, thanks for posting, good to see the struggle and failure of big cliff trad. climbing occasionally. 

It's great to see some Fairhead too, this early June I'm planning to be be in Ceuse but time to start planning for 2021!

Really enjoyed that - esp as I didn’t know it was anyone famous etc... thought it was just someone having a great battle! Which it was...

[UnkArl]

Someone should Chuck money at Ricky Bell to make more films, they’re always fantastic!

Could one of the mods rename this thread “What’s going to be the UKC Friday Night Vid next week?”

We could get some publicity for some of Doylo's vids.

Next time you are down the wall, you will hear people chanting "there's somebody at the door, there's somebody at the door"

Let's see if this works!


'Ledge to Ledge': Yuji Hirayama on El Nino (pitch 3, Black Dike; pitch 4 Missing Link; pitch 13 M&M flake; and Steve Schneider's variation to pitch 27).





Onsight attempt on the Salathe:


Golden Gate:


Lurking Fear (Attempt, I think he didn't finish this?):


Lots more Yuji and Dai Koyamada on this channel.

Hah!

[grimer]

Yuji!

[hongkongstuey]

a little vid from a crag I've been helping develop over the past few months:

[andy popp]

Talk about a teaser!

Crag looks good.

[hongkongstuey]

Crag looks good.

We're pretty chuffed with what we've done - just wish i'd done it 10-years ago when I first spotted them...

Did a count yesterday and I've notched up over 100km of hiking (with over 4km of elevation gain) to develop this place. That bit wasn't so pleasant (but did wonders for weight loss  ) 

[SA Chris]

How many times did you fall over on the approaches? Or has yoga cured you of that?

Your bro' said you were back in the game, welcome back o' prodigal one. Looks cool. (should still be in non-quality though!)

[duncan]

Yuji!

What a dude!

[jwi]

Seb Bouin on La Rage d'Adam

[andy popp]

There's some great footage in that.

[duncan]

Great looking route(s), great movement, and good to see a local climbing culture still exists: the Verdon spot (pointing the drill at the climbers arse) and 'we don't need no stinkin' stick clips'!

[Fiend]

F me that looks hard. Good stuff.

[mark20]

Just seen this on the other channel. Lovely little video
