Props to whoever that is in the vids, a decent haul of classics ticked off

I guess if you can climb 8b (FA Partage ss) then 7b isn't so hard. Monsieur Collignon's 3rd film should be interesting.

Tis on the Quality Thread

Thanks

So, following some nice comments about the Sheigra video I made i am fully expecting to be torn apart for this one. Before you watch, this was just a bit of fun (on a super windy day when climbing elsewhere would have been silly/dangerous). After making the movie i needed 6 mins of music and found a piece by John Williams called "Summon the Heroes". As a laugh i put it in, and found it so hilarious how it matched with the music that i couldn't change it. Particular highlight is the slap in the second ascent in the film of "one-per-cent". Hope you enjoy the outrageously OTT music. (and apologies also  )

Liking the Sheigra vid - looks great.

Resistance is Foot-Heel? 

Fancy a trip Adam? Might even get you surfing!

Defo!

is that a sock kneepad? 

[Beegsyboy]

Well spotted 
Had shorts on as it was roasting so had to improvise. It actually worked really well, pretty grippy!

[Stewart]

Nice Beegsy. Are you based anywhere near the Thirlstane? It's my new localish venue and i've seen holds chalked up there but not any other climbers yet.

Gillercombe looks ace

[Beegsyboy]

Cheers. Stay in Edinburgh so not that close, been down a few times but only ever seen one person trad climbing.

Gillercombe is awesome, bit of a hike in but well worth it, stunning location.

[Stewart]

I'll hopefully check out Gillercombe soon then. Sounds good.

I did a variation of Grade Obsessed at Thirlstane on Friday without the big hold on the left arete. Obvious eliminate and I think it improves the problem. Added it to the database as 'Grade Progressed'. Nice wee venue for an evening and plenty hard stuff to go at.

[Stewart]

Speaking of the Thirlstane, here's a low budget offering of some more problems there. It's not exactly st bees but it's got some good problems for a wee crag.

[GCW]

Interesting, we always used to go righ hand to the hold on Jihad.  I always thought it was hard!

And why doesn't anyone ever do mine nor Tom's traverses?!?   

[Stewart]

Aha, I would like to do them but the descriptions are a bit confusing! They are basically traverses along the different breaks roughly where grade obsessed is? Jihad is nails! I'm still to do nitro which is even nailsier.

[GCW]

No, opposite wall to Goodnight Irene. Same wall as red roof.

[Stewart]

Ah ok, the lower foot hold round there tend to be a bit slimey. I'll have a look though next time i'm down. Do you know the line for smack heid by any chance? The description for that says start at the niche and traverse into craig's wall which suggests doing your problem, crossing the cave mouth, traversing grade obsessed and then doing craig's wall which seems tough considering it gets the same grade as craig's wall??
