I know what you mean Sasquatch but I think there can be good fluff and bad fluff and I think Pedra's is normally the good sort. I feel like I'm getting a little glimpse in to a local scene and don't mind in all remains a little enigmatic and not quite defined.And the climbers always seem to be trying really hard, which is always fun to watch.
little video of a short roadtrip earlier this summer, criticisms welcome, only my second video:

Thought the movie was good especially bit at Vitruvian Man, made me want to go climbing at those places again. One problem i have with bouldering videos in general is the convention of showing numerous attempts on a problem followed by the name and grade of the problem and then the successful ascent, or worse the name and grade of the route staying on screen during the ascent. It totally ruins any will s/he won't s/he tension plus i want to know what we are dealing with as soon we arrive at the problem.

List it as a project, then name/grade after sendage?

List it as a project, then name/grade after sendage?I think title: project- proposed grade ? then attempts would be fine. Name comes after ascent unless it is already named. Was quite relieved in video of that Finnish guy doing his 8b+ when the music changed and he fell off again. If films do what you expect them to do you are already bored because of the inevitability of it all. Playing with convention is always fun.
