Might have already be on the thread, but came across from those Planet Fear people, and from the dangeroussite.

Worst climbing video of a classic grit route ever??

Still at least there's not even a whiff of useful beta...

Leave it out, that website dates back to when the interweb was new and uncool and all about actual climbing content rather than bullshit and people scanned in their photos and camcorder videos using scart leads and shit. It's proper old school, and there's some well good photos on there, and a really good essay on Flying Buttress Direct .

Anyway you've prompted me to add Old Friends to America to form a 70s ticklist of Simon and Garfunkel routes.

Andreas Bindhammer repeating Abyss, 9a.

Good stuff. Was intrigued by this route when I saw the pics of its FA. Not an amazing video, but it gives you a fair idea of the climbing. Hard to see where the crux is, but it all looks like hard work. Like the soundtrack, nice touch.

I don't know what these are like, due to an embarrassing little bandwidth problem

(12MB - Chabot & Lindner in South America)

(21MB - Chabot on some 8c+)

Can anyone tell me if they're worth the effort?

#1 - 1 minute of faffing around and scenery shots, then a load of dark and distant flashes of sport climbing, very occasionally showing an actual move, then a lot of faffing and horseriding and kayaking and whatever else. My eyes glazed over.

#2 - A short clip of Alex falling off an 8c+, revolutionary. Shows some moves clearly though.

Skip both.

Downloaded too much pr0n?

Some thin 8c thing in Czech. Not great filming, but tricky looking moves. The footage towards the end of the video is better.

Potter soloing Heaven Crack

I think he has mental problems

Control freak · November 22, 2006, 09:20:25 am

I've soloed Heaven Crack. Don't remember it feeling that hard though

AndiT · November 27, 2006, 09:25:52 am

That Czech stuff looks quality, I'd be really keen to get out there soon.

I agree, what is all that about. Spoils the film I think. Imagine how embarrased you'd be to be there! The climbing does look quality though and he must have a screw loose to be doing that sort of stuff anyway. Nutter.

As requested DWS speed comp footage:
If you manage to sit through 10 people doing freeborn man not too quickly, and the credits you can see the girlfreind throw herself off the top of conner cove (she doesnt climb so getting back up was interesting

), putting all the other wimps standing on the ledge and not jumping to shame!

Excuse the poor editing/repetitvness...

Seen this before, but it's great -

No fear!

SA Chris · January 08, 2007, 04:01:44 pm

Clearly not enough fear, as young Biscuit (the dog in the vid) apparently ended up as a meal for a mountain lion.

No shit! Unlucky...

Only watched Front Range Freaks for the first time recently and whilst Biscuit was impressive, the Derek Hersey (sp?) segment was amazing. A true legend...

Oli · January 21, 2007, 01:44:29 pm

Don't know if it has been posted before, but go to www.fredrouhling.com then media (bottom right) and scroll down until L'autre cote de ciel. It's got some awesome looking footless moves on small pockets. It looks stunning, and nails...

Aye, man's a legend. Apparently Return2Sender has some more Biscuit Footage, plus another young pup. Not seen it though.

Fiend · January 23, 2007, 09:53:48 am

Return2Sender does have Biscuit and her pup in it, both doing class stuff. Good DVD, worth it for Parallelojams alone.

P.S. http://www.fredrouhling.com/modvid.htm or http://www.tvmountain.com/rouhling/video_ciel.htm to download. Annoyingly spliced in the middle of a few of the hard moves so I'm not sure it's a clean ascent.

i never knew this kind of thing happened:

Some bouldering, but the meat of this is an impressive sport route.

Also worth watching for the painful looking dismount at a bouldering comp. Check out the deckout - she lands on her head...

Adam Lincoln · March 14, 2007, 02:38:36 am

Appologies if this has been posted already. Not really checking net much nowadays.

New website from Mike Call, with some good footage.

This months edition has a cool section with Ty on Nagual.

Oops, can Bubba move this to bouldering vids. My mistake!

it's already been in that one for a while Adam
