Hey Dave,
Looks wicked that. Sounds more like an "S" line than a DWS line though!
Looks great Jack
*I know this sounds a bit lame, but be great if you can subscribe, youtube are taking away some features if you don't have 1k subs
Yeah maybe, but I do try not to bombard people with the same shit. Food for thought.Here is another video:Took a punt on a good forecast and went to Bowden, really wanted to try The rail. I can confirm is extremely hard and well impressive achievement for Varian. Anyone else tried it? (Couple of other bits of footage including Born Lippy and V crimps direct)
Thanks for sharing Dan. Love those full days out.Having a wee think about your drive to increase subscribers. You could see if UKC will feature one of your vlogs. They have a lot of exposure.I've studied a few of the popular climbing vlogs (magnus, Mani the Monkey (wtf!?), Matt Groom). Based on their popular videos I've got these suggestions for future videos. Training tips for beginners, a one armed muscle up, be a 9b beast, name drop some famous climbers in your title - take your top off a lot and do a video called Two Girls One Armed Pullup (unbelievably this title hasn't been used yet). And do all this without selling out.You're welcome.
its a very good day if I can do a one armer!
Regarding the training ones, I have done a couple, but I watch them back and find them pretty cringey.

Your stuff is good Dan—I hope you get over the 1k mark. On the topic of youtube and climbing, the recent explosion of filming everyday stuff at the wall type channels is interesting. They seem to be incredibly popular, and although I don't count myself as a snob WRT the great indoors (it is great), titles like 'Today the krew is climbing outside' bemuse me.I assume it's possible to make at least a little money if you've in the order of 10s of thousands of views per day. Is that the goal you have in mind?
I just want to document British rock climbing (bouldering) better and also the kind of process you have to go through to climb hard (ish) boulders in the UK. I found myself getting into the mindset that climbing hard is only for elite and professional climbers who have 'more time' etc. Actually its not, its the one thing that really makes climbing/bouldering unique as a performance sport, that there is nothing stopping anyone from trying the same problems as professionals or getting to that level (especially in terms of rock climbing).Its sounds a bit cliched but if I can inspire people to get out there, do more, try harder then thats awesome. I would feel like I have contributed a bit more to the sport.

Is that the goal you have in mind? Thanks appreciate it. No not really. Funny, had this conversation with a few people, "whats my motivation for making these videos". It is certainly not about making money (I have a good job that I absolutely love and equally as enthusiastic about).

I think the vids are great Dan and I've just subscribed, something I've never done. Keep it up.
