Oh dammit I knew it wasn't the real one!
Good troll though.

Just wait till the EM-5 arrives

Sounds exciting! What lens(es) are you going for?

[Fultonius]

Just the 12-50 to start,  but keeping an eye on ebay for 20mm f1.7s.

Well, Bonjoy has outed me in the karma stats so...
Sorry, just a bit of fun. And if Jim ever does want to join he can start out with a bunch of positive karma.

First 7a, and then a 2nd the same day. Also took down a bothersome 6c and one-hung a 7a+
YYFY , especially so since the 7as felt solid - no flailing or wailing involved.

[Grubes]

sounds like an awesome day.
What was the 7a?

[krymson]

It's the red line on the left of this picture. Mr. Anonymous, a crimpy 5.11d on the central face of the Gold Wall here in Long Dong, Taiwan. The one hang 7a+ was Very Inconvenient, the red X-ed climb on the right.

Warning:  huge picture ahead

[Will Hunt]

That really is a huge Long Dong 

[mrjonathanr]

Nice one. Always good to get a project ticked !

[SA Chris]

Looks like nice rock and good climbing. Good work.

Sorry, I meant to say; is that all, you really should try harder

It's a personal achievement in yes yes fuckin yes. That's a good effort and it's where it belongs. If it was posted up as news, I'd have said that's the shittest thing I've ever seen and that wouldn't have been disrespectful in any way.
Krymson knows this that's why he posted it here, it's not news it's a good personal achievement.

[Nibile]

Little nice things happening, training wise.
Managed to gain one rep for each arm on the paused reps one armers, and to consistently get to hold number 26 on my 30 moves long circuit project.
Yay.

[Nibile]

Finally! Yesterday was one of those special days in which every hold feels good and you feel indestructible. Just one day like this makes up for a year of toil.

Monster! Are you sure you are merely pulling up, and not just pulling italy down with pure strength??

P.S. Krymson that looks well nice 

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Yikes!  That's a rude performance Lorenzo! Good effort 

[sherlock]

 

[tomtom]

Oof!

It's a still from a video that will soon be broadcasted, intitled "Competitive Training For No Outcome", a beautiful concept by JB that I slightly tweaked, but for which he'll get his royalties nonetheless, because I don't want to give a bad image to Italians, business wise.
The video will be four hours long and it will only feature fingerboarding, with small creative bits of board climbing and foot on campusing.
The soundtrack will be made with the Metronome app set on 60 beats per minute.
It will tour all the most famous climbing towns, Trento, Sheffield, Boulder, etc. and climbing areas, from Rocklands to Bishop to Chironico.
Dates are still uncertain, because it will be presented at midday during the day with the best climbing conditions available, because it clearly doesn't have anything to do with climbing.
Cheers.

Beast nibs 
What's the cummerbund for?
On a similar non climbing related note I did 10 reps of 50 kgs strict military press yesterday, starting to feel half strong

[Nibile]

What's the cummerbund for?

It's to be stylish when fingerboarding.
Jokes apart, it's to keep my lower back muscles warm so that I don't agonize in pain for the following week after every session. Have been using them for a while now and my back's improved.
For moral honesty I have to say that it also improved probably because I stopped doing snatch pulls. The pain wasn't caused bu them, but of course doing snatches on a bad back inflammation wasn't the brightest of ideas.

Will there be scenes of you riding your bike through/past spectacular climbing areas in order to get to the fingerboard locations?

I think that ship has sailed Nibs. 

[Schnell]

After a week of ups and downs I got out for a session today in great conditions and ticked my first rock-solid, incontrovertible 7B, go me!

The producers tried to talk me into that, but finally we decided that it would be shot entirely on my crap phone dangling from tape on the board, or resting on climbing shoes.
We didn't want to lose the aura of depression and worthlessness.
