You can still access a Facebook Live app with an Amazon fire stick and i think some smart TVs without an account.

Such a great film, pads look woefully inadequate by modern standards.

Has this made it here already? Full length film of the Huber brothers having a right fight at Mt Asgard freeing the Bavarian Direct while complaining of being too old. Great film i thought. The slow pacing really helps set the atmosphere and the dynamics between the brothers. Some quality climbing as well

I posted it a little bit back but I don't think it got any reaction so happy to see it posted it again - I thought the relationship between the brothers was fascinating.

I thought it was great, and cool to see the links between the various teams that have done it too.

One gripe though, I hate it when expedition films like this don't include the film crew or any other support in any of the story. The team dynamic would have actually been very different to the one portrayed on film if there were any other people there (and credits suggest there was at least a camera man I think).  And when they get off the boat to start the big approach its suggested that it's just them and their backpacks but you then see them at base camp with big tents, cooking gear, haul bags, porta-ledges etc. They sure as hell didnt have all that on their backs when they were filming the big approach, so theirs part of the story that isn't shown.

It doesn't detract at all from what they achieved, of course.

Another similar gripe is when films of big wall first ascents totally ignore to mention that they aided the pitches first and yet miraculously have someone with a camera hanging from a rope above them when they're climbing.

Huber film not guilty  of this though, which was nice (and rare) to see.

Great film and not totally up on big walling, but do they get to claim it as they didn’t do the climb in one push? I know they did all the pitches clean between them on the trip but is that legit?

I thought it was great. It also confirmed everything I'd heard about Thomas!

If I recall correctly they discussed this would be a "team free" ascent; no single person freeing all the pitches. Which they said didn't count when Todd Skinner and Paul Piana freed The Salathe!

More Hubers, this time on Eternal Flame:

I thought this was shite. Nicely filmed sitting about bits etc but utterly boring.

Not sure if this has been shared before, but an amazing looking climb, and a beautiful and poignant little film.

Agreed. To begin with I thought “ooh this is different” by the end I realised I had wasted 10 or so minutes of my life

The New Deal video was great. Scott Cosgrove features in lots of classic 90s Greg Epperson mullet-tastic photos but I didn't know much about his climbing.  8b+ in 1988 is not shabby.

The 80s - Birth of Extreme (with Buoux 8c) goes for really high prices at pizbube (they have *everything*) and Liberia La Montagna: https://www.mntnfilm.com/en/film/buoux-8c-1989
Very thin market I'd guess....

£8-10 on the tax dodger's marketplace. I have a copy which I'm happy to let go for a similar donation to the Dorset bolt fund.

For sure, the top grade was 8c, no? Wallstreet had been done (87) but not Hubble (90)
