Nicely done, some good rock strata action there. I like the shot from inside the slot...

Cheers both! It's very chossy in places (as highlighted in the post-reel outtake) but it is a lovely quiet place. Plenty of interesting bird life too.

Lovely. Lived there for 6 years up to 2005 and it made me really miss the place. Suspect some of those blocs have been unearthed/fallen there since then! Used to wander down there from tanybwlch.

Cheers Tom! It really is a wonderful place. My better half lives up there, so I have lots of excuses to get back there when things are a bit more normal.

One of the good things about the Wen is that it gets a reset after every storm  :lol:

A few random clips of mine from the last few years. Mainly bouldering in the UK, France and Austria. Also some DWS and a route thrown in for good measure. The essence of non-quality but hopefully a bit entertaining!

An eclectic mix of non-quality, nice one.

Niche!!! An hour long documentary on Pennsylvanian bouldering. The state is completely unknown when it comes to climbing but as the film shows it's packed with a huge variety of great looking venues. I'm pissed off with myself that I did virtually nothing to take advantage of it while I lived there (though I never managed to meet another climber and a lot of the best areas are hours from where I lived). It looks like exactly the kind of thing I like: backwater venues hidden in the woods, interesting local scenes. Also, it really is a beautiful state.

One from the weekend. I got lucky with a small patch of dry rock in a Narnian winterscape. And I managed my summer project. Magical.

That neither looks like a summer project, nor a summer beard. Good effort on both.

Cheers all. Glad the vid/facial hair was entertaining. ;D

That neither looks like a summer project, nor a summer beard. Good effort on both.

It's a handy nearby crag for me, just 7min drive from home. So not a bad place for a lockdown project. The fan made it climbable in summer, if not ideal - I very nearly did it, just dropped the finish (the bit I thought I wouldn't drop! Changed the sequence after that).

But after about 10 sessions I decided I needed to do something else and come back in winter. I'd just come off an even longer siege and my siege psyche had run out. And yeah, it was easier in the cold.

Nice legwarmers, very flashdance. looks like it needs he coldest of the cold!

Legwarmers are brilliant. I hate the cold, have to use all the tricks.

The temps definitely helped, though with a fan it's perfectly possible in summer. Maybe even in winter I wouldn't have done it without a fan. My hands were too hot, I just couldn't stick to the holds until I used it to cool my skin.

Good effort. reminds me of The Revenant .... just need a grizzly bear!

I made sure to film the ascent in one take as well. And it's all natural light. 😆

was that an "air Egyptian"?

Well spotted, that's what makes it so wierd! I've been calling it a dropknee toehook, though I quite like air Egyptian. There is something small there to hook. Opposition between that and the Rh sloper slap is what keeps you on. It's hard to place as the right foot is on a marginal smear, so you are basically dangling on slopers whilst trying to fiddle it into position. Very finicky.and very unusual. I tried all sorts but couldn't make anything else work.

Thought this was ace, good to see some psyched locals and developers, good scenes, innovative landings, and some awesome rock! That diabase looks right up my street!

Hopefully provide some kind of entertainment during LD. Some boulders climbed early Dec. I think Superbloc might be the contender for one of the best boulders I have done in the UK.

Enjoyed that, lovely light. And the fly on the lens when you do master of stone. Somehow brought it alive for me.
