Not watched it yet, but the latest episode in Seb Bouin's vintage rock tour series - Cimai:


It is very good, of course!

Excellent. Those pics of JBT on are great. Yoss should use them for TRT II

Point is, he doesn't seem to think much of going for it up a 7c new route on small cams
I don't think much of it going for a F5c new route on small cams, which relatively and proportionately indicates the French vs. trad grading system seems to be working spot on.

(Talking of 5c climbing on small cams, I finally got around to do the Ged photo-tick in the Lakes Eastern Crags guide after seeing it for many years i.e. Top Gear, and found the Shield section both fairly amenable and bloody brilliant, although I shat myself in the "high chance of breaking legs on ledge below" groove section just before that).

What a route. I seem to remember the runout being overhyped. But I was young and childless then. AND I was wearing those rubbish white and red scarpa shoes that looked like David Beckhams football boots. I'd probably shit myself now.

I'll have to repay the photo tick by visiting an obscure remote dartmoor tor.

A very touching portrait of Bob Shepton, and his coming to terms with winding down his life of adventure. Well worth a watch.

That was ace. A really moving portrait of an interesting man. Touching on so many different emotions. Both happy and melancholy.

Nice video of Nalle doing some deep water soloing in Finland. He seems much more chilled and happy in this video. In some of his other recent offerings I was worried he'd lost the psyche a bit.

Nice video, I think it might not be from this year as here is another video from last year of the climb getting its 2nd ascent.

Very cool! Though that inky black water looks about as inviting as a slap on the chops.

If it's the Baltic (or a Finnish lake), it will be extremely pleasant at this time of year.

That's good to hear. I once did some soloing on Mingulay with the same colour sea and it was agony trying to get out after dropping in, such was the temperature.  :jab:

As an aside, it's rather strange falling in freshwater, having only soloed above saltwater, you go much deeper when you pencil in and it takes much longer to come back up!

Not the same route as the one focused on in the video Jamie posted.

That was great. I like Nalle's new haircut, more handsome and more Finnish machine rather than floppy indie kid. Also a floating sauna at the crag FFS!

Sammy Dahlman makes very contemplative climbing videos. I like his style.

Here is one in which Matilda Söderlund climbs Elder Statesman, among other things, in the Frankenjura

Half climbing film, half life story; the climbing is gorgeous hard techy trad, and the life story is important.

I've got a bunch of trans and non-binary friends, so this one means a lot to me (also, check the content warnings because it deals with some hard stuff).

I've really struggled with the recent surge in trans / anti trans, anti-transphobic culture wars.

I thought this film was brilliant. Really helped me get it.

Amazing video, as usual from Relais Vertical, about Baptiste Dherbilly's repeat of Mandallaz Drive. Bien old school. And as usual, they have added english subs.

Finally found the time, though broken up into a couple of chunks - I thought this was very well done, with the climbing and life-story really nicely balanced and integrated. I thought they came across really well too; thoughtful, honest, and wry. Thanks to slab_happy for the original post.

That's an absolute corker. Love his psyche for weird moves on ratty holds.

Horses for courses. I found that to the most boring thing I've watched in a while.
