Found another quarry over the weekend. Just North of Ramsbottom. The downside is that it's been used for tipping, so there's a load of rubbish. But on the upside, some of the problems are really excellent. Here's a short film of me falling off most of em. So, right click and save away:

...It was just an idea, but I thought it might be quite handy if people posted new videos on this thread like with the pics?
(Shoot me down in flames if it's a bad idea. I never was one of the fly kids. :( )
-
Souns like a v good idea to me youth
-
Only a little bouldering, but these look pretty good (haven't checked em out with sound yet):

(Shoot me down in flames if it's a bad idea. I never was one of the fly kids. :( )
its nice in theory but its a bandwidth killer for the people hosting the vids as people just keep on clicking (i always change the url of my vids after they appear on lists like this)
more than happy for everyone elses bandwidth to take a bashing though so keep it up
-
ive got 17Gb of various climbing vids on my puter if any ones to P2P
-
have seen em all, not very inspiring :wink:
-
new vid on moonclimbing.com of ben moon making first ascent of a V12 in little cottonwood. looks flava.
-
Is that the beer can cave direct thing? Does look flavourful.
Came across some more vids. Not sure where this is, but that roof looks luvvelly.
http://www.yunt.tk/
...having watched all the rock solid bouldering ones, they're not that great. Looks like a fantastic location (anyone know where?) but the 5 videos would be a lot better if they were all be edited into one short one. Mind you, it does say it's a work in progress, so maybe that's a long term plan.
-
nice to see underworld being done sans block on moon thing (https://www.moonclimbing.com/index.php?form_action=video_detail&video_id=42&offset=36), and being down from 8a....
-
Im the owner of http://www.Yunt.Tk. i cannot edit the Rock SOlid Bouldering as it is a long project and it was not initially intended for internet streaming.
Hope you enjoy the videos, any negatives about the site?
thanks

Yo. Does anyone know the internet location of the vid of Kehl on Evilution. Did a quick search, but couldn't find it. Did it used to be on the Petzl site or something?
Oh yeah http://www.petzl.com/petzl/frontoffice/Sport/static/Video/index.jsp has got some good vids on, including that ultimate route thing, and all the international visitors getting drenched in the peak...
-
that evilution thing used to be on climbxmedia i think. you could try searching for the many threads on here where we've mentioned those dodgy eastern european sites which have load of old videos off the web - its bound to be in there somewhere.

...with most movie making software it should be fairly simple to slice clips up and move them around. I only use windows movie maker (the one that comes free with new pcs) and that will do it.
What's the crag in the rocksolid ones? Looks pretty good.

What crag is that at?
You live in South East Lancs and you've not been to Earl? No wonder you think those quarries are good. ;)
-
You live in South East Lancs and you've not been to Earl?
Only since september. Before that I lived in the flatlands of Norwich for four years, where I got into climbing.
So say it now:
No wonder you think those quarries are good.
-
the first one is called Back Bowden and the second one in the video is called Caley
-
Seen the size of the fall on http://www.petzl.com/petzl/frontoffice/Sport/static/Video/index.jsp on Roc Trip Millau its absolutley massive - wouldnt mind having a fall like that :)
-
new dose added to the bigUP website now (www.bigupproductions.com)
-
that new dose shit looks well weapon. totally mencap.
-
http://www.bigupproductions.com/bigUpSite2/The_Ozarks.mov
Gravy. All of it. That next Dosage looks tastier than a Sunday Roast after a potato famine.
-
class dose - theres some good remixes of witness on roots manuva's site too
-
look's good
-

Which bouldering DVDs have got good NZ footage in them? I think Frequent Flyers, anything else?

there was summert called like "contact" or summert that i never seen but i think was about NZ.

The old video EOS 1 (which I personally thought sucked) was all NZ stuff with a big chunk on Castle Hill. There is a new Castle Hill dvd coming tho'.

Can't believe that Vineyard prob gets V12. Would get 7C (V9) in the peak, it's almost identical to Quine but with better handholds and footholds!

Btw Bonjoy, I'm pretty sure that the Vineyard has been downgraded already. Trouble is, people wanna claim the V12 rather than say what they *really* think it is. And I can't believe how much of a pigs ear that guy makes of 'Who Killed the Kennedys'- Thats one of the easiest V6's around. (waves willy in the air :wink: )
-
I swear, Carnage, you keep going on about "Who killed the Kennedys" just to make me sad. And I don't mean a bit upset sad, I mean sobbing uncontrollably. Not sure what "Pigs Ear" means, but... Hardest V6 in the universe!!
And Vineyard V9? Well, no one here thinks it's twelve, I'll agree to that, at least..
-
'Pigs Ear'? - I guess I mean faffing around and making it look harder than it is.
If Doctor Wong was here he'd agree with me! :lol:
-
New video on Petzl site of the last 2 years Mello Blocco events - the usual nicely produced little films that Petzl seem to make.
http://www.petzl.com/petzl/frontoffice/Sport/static/Video/index.jsp
-
nice little film, spooky bird impressions
-
someone might have mentioned it already but whatever. just watched the ozarks dose on beardown wannabees bigupproductions site. looks pretty flava with chris 'cofe' sharma, jason 'dave' kehl, and nate 'scouse' gold all pulling down.
looking forward to dosage 3. "my name's josh, i make climbing movies". go on son.
-
Yep, it's here
http://www.bigupproductions.com/bigUpSite2/The_Ozarks.mov
There's a bunch more videos on the http://www.moonclimbing.com site as well. In the Lofoten islands section. I wish there were dates on the videos, though I guess it means you have to read the blogs to know what's new.
-
Here's that petzl one:
http://www.petzl.com/frontoffice/Sport/static/Video/fr_high/melloblocco.mov
-
Utah bouldering. Found this on the black diamond website. Not the best video, but some reasonable looking problems. The one at the end looks pretty good.
http://www.bdel.com/vids/climbers_haven.mov
-
that chocolate starfish problem looks qualidy
-
dunno if this has been mentioned but there's a sick fall and some nice looking action:
IreLand (http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/VideoFiles/underdeveloped.mpg)
with a huge fall!
-
don't know where else to post it but "best of the west" doesn't belong under the heading "quality". poorly filmed, cheesy sharma from a distance zen type shots. a few bit's of good footage but overall shite. this was confirmed by a number of sharma worshippers in the room at the time
-
Found a couple of trailers for spanish climbing videos:
Remember watching this a while ago. It's pretty good. Some pretty impressive sport routes, and people like Josune, Iker Pou, Dani Andrada
Pais de Roca
http://www.avistamultimedia.com/Trailers/PaisClipWm.wmv
( http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://www.libreriadesnivel.com/fichavideo.php%3Fisbn%3D1080040&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%2522Pais%2Bde%2BRoca%2522%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D )
This one looks a little boring though. the music suggests something epic is about to happen, but right when it should be building up to a preview of said epic nature, you get a yoga demonstration. Epic flexibility.
http://www.avistamultimedia.com/TrailerEscaladorasWMA.wmv
And a bouldering thing. Only short, but there's a crazy dyno halfway through.
http://www.avistamultimedia.com/Trailers/BulderClipdWm.wmv
-
And this is just bonkers.
Warning: this movie contains partial nudity, bad music and an incomprehensible narrative that some viewers may find distressing.
http://www.avistamultimedia.com/Trailers/PodiumWMVStreaming1.wmv
:shock: What the hell?
And that was just the trailer...
Can you imagine if baldy popped up every time you topped out a solo? There'd be a lot more accidents.
Poor baldy. Probably can't help it. He audutioned for quantam leap, but they said they were looking for someone with more hair. Now he's reduced to this. Playing in the dark, and being transported randomly through time and space, never knowing what clifftop he'll end up on. I sense much anger and confusion.
-
Christ that offended me enough without the sound on!
Not least the mis-matched juxtaposition of at least 3 different Costa Blanca climbing areas which are several miles apart...
Hardly quality bouldering videos :?
-
Pais de Roca was good tho!
-
Yep, I apologise. Not that good and mostly not bouldering. There haven't been any great bouldering thingies out for a while. Last one was west coast gimps. And before that, perhaps something beardown. Any more vids in the pipeline, beardown people?
Pais de Roca is certainly worth a watch though. Think it's out on Dvd. There are some slightly boring sections, but highlights are Josune on something horribly thin (and also when she's indoors training like a demon), Dani Andrada on La Rambla extension, trying again and again to link it, and some bloke on an 8b+ slab (!).
-
You have several bouldering vids here : http://www.zebloc.com/video/video.php
-
not my best work by far but another teaser of HK bouldering none the less:
http://www.hongkongclimbing.com/gallery/videos/fantastic.htm
-
R-man, you are a very psyched forum (ab)user mate :)
Some esoteric areas and problems in a vid on Bleau.info, climbed by Kevin Lopta. It's nice see problems you've been on but never seen in the media on video! He gave the last problem 'La Force Du Destin' 8c originally. The roof with Satan i helvete on it is amazing!
You need realplayer as always on Bleau.
http://bleau.info/forum/9135.html
Go on Kev....
-
have you been to the roof huff? if not you would cream yourself
-
Yeah, was there just before the sitter got done to Satan i Helvete by Dai.
The area is mental though hey? That scramble up to the problems beyond the roof is treacherous to say the least.
Need to get back there soon.
-
very good vid. that roof truley is amazing, conquibus (sp?) isn't it?
-
http://www.nadventure.com/galleries/video/index.htm
-
Need to get back there soon
will be there next wk huff. gite already booked for new year as well :D
-
loads of random folks heading out there the same time as you.
If you see a big yank sasquach called Josh around (he'll be dynoing), tell him i'll see him in Wales...
Get on Fata moranga(sp?), just one move and good value for 8a.
Bon chance soldier!
-

naturally, i was inrtriugued... but there actually isn't any need for it...
-
Trailer for a forthcoming Irish thingy. Looks good. That slab deckout!
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/VideoFiles/underdeveloped.mpg
Banter clearly means something a little different in Ireland.
This has some good looking problems. Not too keen on the jerky effect though. Glendabloc.
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/VideoFiles/Glendabloc.4.wmv

R-man do keep up with what your grotty quarry comrades are posting :wink:

IreLand (http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/VideoFiles/underdeveloped.mpg)
with a huge fall!
Does look good though!
-
Oh aye. Sorry Andi, I don't tend to read your posts that much as they usually have something to do with wad stalking, or souped up cars. ;)
Dunno if this has been on here before, but here are the Irish lads again in font in 2004.
http://www.maths.tcd.ie/~moroneyk/VideoFiles/font-web-large.wmv
-
I know you'll have seen this before, but bear with me. It's Ben Moon on Autumn. Watch his legs, no spring at all. Not even just a little. He points at the hold, then he flies... Either its a crazy dynamic one arm pull up monkey move on a crimp, or Bonjoy has worked his magic on the wires...
http://www.moonclimbing.com/videos/eagle_tor_autumn.mov
-
Ummm, there is a fair bit of spring in his right leg and left foot. It's not that esoteric a move.
Moonie needs to sort out the quality of his vids. Hope the Voyage one is better.
-
Doesn't look like it to me. His right leg is the one he's going off, and he hardly bends it. But anyway.
Does look like they are mostly done with the video function on a normal camera, and some possibly with a mobile phone. If they were all on camcorder he'd be some way to making a DVD of the best boulder problems on grit, which would be nice. Some of the foreign stuff looks good too, though some is a bit pants. Still, it's good that he's taken the time to get as many as he has.
Reckon he should get a decent camera and start making 8B. (Like 8 mile, but with subtle differences*.) He's certainly done enough of em...
Tagline possibilities:
- Once you pop, you just can't stop.
- It's hard, but it's always that hard.
- In space, no-one can hear you gurn.
*1.The rapping will be better.
2.There will be less rap and more rock.
3.The baggy clothes and beanies and chains will be replac- ok maybe not.
4.There will be more white stuff.
-
His leg blantantly bends quite a bit, he's just wearing baggy pants.
Some of the videos on that site are a lot better quality than others, you can't knock the content though, he's/they've done well with that website since it was redone, in my opinion anyway.
-
Not knocking the site - there might be one or two slightly samey foreign problems, but overall there's some great footage on there, as well as some good photos and articles. Just wish he had slightly higher quality footage, but it's a minor quibble.
Back to my earlier idea, but even better... A dvd of all the 8Bs and above in the uk... that would be something special.
-
dunno if it has been mentioned
Director's Cut (http://www.northumberlandbouldering.co.uk/parisellas.htm)
warning, it's quite "cheeky" at the end

You couldn't link the video because it's named in a retarded fashion.

Couple of lakes problems:
Impailed (V7) at Dove Crag - first ascent (the video is a bit dark, but it looks like a great highball)

Overbeck Arete (V4) at Wasdale
http://www.lakesbouldering.co.uk/images/videos/MOV03160.MPG

I made a video yesterday of a cornish boulder problem:
http://s22.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=34BLLT0087KQQ2BPFLAVGAX21S
-
looks like a nice problem, is there much else around there?
-
Yeah there's a lot of stuff in the area, especally just round the point at godreavy. It's all tidal and the sea-washed stuff is safe, but it becomes a bit more fragile higher up.

Quality vids curtosy of our Polish counterparts. Check out the Dan Osman clip, classic footage from the old Masters of Stone Days! :8)
http://www.zanik.pl/filmy/
Double dyno on the speed solo is sick!
-
Three vids here - of variable quality:
http://tripsalomon.free.fr
There's an indifferent clip of Loic Gaidoz flashing La Balance.
A reasonable (but overproduced) film of bouldering in Brittany (Click on "Video de Bretagne" to get breizh.wmv)
And a rather strange film called "Demain c'est Loin" (demain.rm so you need realplayer). This has an utterly shitty and wholly incomprehensible first section involving guns, but fortunately once that's over (after 2mins30secs) the bouldering gets going; Ailefroide, Meschia, Font. It's a little hard to see what's going on, because of all the effects, BUT this film is worthwhile solely for the footage of a problem called Clark Kent in Meschia. Full-body backwards double dyno across a roof.
-
o.k. so we've all bouldered at Brimham, but Nidderdale has much more to offer if you get off the beaten track.
http://uk.geocities.com/a.crome@btopenworld.com/blocsandrocks.wmv
(about 5meg wmv - 5 minutes long. - thanks to Kim and Bonjoy)
The big G, panorama, whitehouses and several others not mentioned here are all within easy striking distance for a good day out.
You should be able to find climbable rock in all but the worst weather.
Make sure you pay big Frank a visit in his shop at Pateley Bridge http://www.sypeland.com/shop and check out the awesome olde sweetie shop too.
I'm almost certain that some of the problems on the video still need second ascents, and a confirmation of grade and quality.
Let me know what you think - both to the vid and probs if you try them.
If the vid doesn't work, I apologise - I struggle with yahoo! as a host.
Quality off the beaten track Yorks bouldering.
-
Some fine looking problems.
Fine donkey mark or two as well.
-
Pretty cool stuff, nice to see some different areas. The compression on the vid is a bit rough though.
Nice that ALS gets the attention it deserves - but who is that using an unauthorised sequence? Shocking, no tick for you sir!
-
Just call me The Maverick.
-

Cheers - Best viewed small screen - very cheap point and press camera and editing, and three of the vids were done from a tripod whilst out on my tod!
Could there be any interest in a full length properly filmed and edited Yorks DVD?

Dave Suttcliffe's been out filming this grit season, he's got some good footage. Don't think he's got enough for the whole thing yet though, probably be next year as he'll needs to get more footage next season. He did mention it here:

Yes I was wondering the same. I think I only got thew rainbow rocket/voltex one myself despite having never seen it in the flesh
-
The guy in the orange top firstly does entorse (arete and jump) 7A+, then does Modulor (twin aretes with toehook) 7B+ before seeing him on rainbow rocket.
Don't know the others...

entorse and modular look quality. going on the list me thinks

ps I notice parry has done entorse. Is it any good?
-
1 - Chausseur du prises (7a)
2 - ?something at 95.2?
3 - entorse (7a+)
4 - Jokari (7b)
5 - Modulor (7b+)
6 - Rainbow Rocket (7c+)
-
4th one's Jokari droite - jokari goes to the arete on the left from the underclings. Modular is fuckin nails unless you've got serious wingspan!

For those of you that use bittorrent there is currently a torrent for a Dosage 3. I saw it on Pirate Bay but sure it will be available on other tracker sites. Not too healthy at the moment but you should be able to get it if you hurry. I'm told that the video quality is excellent.
Ridni and Depthcahrge are also still available.

Is this what Dawes calls a second generation dyno? Amazing anyway
-
Could be wrong, but I always got the impression that Dawes was thinking more about transitional handholds, which are much harder to use. (Not that I'm saying this is easy, mind). Does look like great fun. If only there were more of these moves around outdoors.
-
He is using a transitional foothold. Basically he initiates the dyno with feet set in one position and then uses another foothold midway through the spring.
-
I can remember speaking to Johnny about 2nd generation dynos and thats definately what he meant, your feet jumping to another hold on the way.
Found some stuff on hard disk which have uploaded onto YouTube :

I can remember speaking to Johnny about 2nd generation dynos and thats definately what he meant, your feet jumping to another hold on the way.
Ah, must be getting mixed up. Was there another term for using transitional handholds in a move? Was that a 3rd generation move or something?
He is using a transitional foothold. Basically he initiates the dyno with feet set in one position and then uses another foothold midway through the spring.
Yes, but this sort of thing isn't nearly as tricky as using transitional handholds. Which isn't to say Solid Air is going to be easy, just that doing it with handholds is really hard - I can't think of many problems that involve this - the Joker original way? There must be others though... I could imagine it being doable on a vertical wall for example, using a sidepull at speed to change direction (perhaps to redirect a second generation dyno)...
Sadly these sort of moves never seem to turn up. Hopefully Percy et al will create a few though... Maybe there could be a 2nd generation wall... ;)
-
Johnny used to have a 2nd gen dyno on the right hand side of the wave at the foundry. It involved running round the bottom of the wall on feature smears before jumping for a jug at the end. I never managed it, but he did.

best of the west is actually quite offensive to watch. we all know it goes on but probably telling the climbing world that u'll burn copies of climbing dvd's is a bit much. big fuckin game, give me strength, no seriously.

maybe a bit harsh on BOTW, the first time i saw it i was staying at a friends in cali, to say he worships the big man would be an understatement. however even he was cringing. it was a bit better on second viewing i will admit. i will go on record saying NG needs a blow torch and pliers taking to him. you can tell him that if you're sat next to him ;)

Fair enough, its not Pilgrimige cringeworthy though!

Yeah the presence of NG does somewhat ruin the video, but i think most of the footage is excellent, and it's probably one of my favourite videos.
THe Hueco footage on the new Dosage video is fooking quality.

You got it already? Did you order from bigup?
-
is it the usual 2 gems enclosed by 4 pieces of offal?
-
Went to a showing of Dosage while I was in Yosemite. You can order it from today.
Depends what stuff you're into re: offal.
THe hueco footage is awesome, the return to swizzy footage (which they only showed a short clip of) will be great, it includes sharma on the dyno graham was trying on the last video and graham on coup de grace. The Sharma dreamcatcher footage is also brilliant, and they only made it a short dose, so as not to over egg it. Besides that you get Tommy doing laps on the Nose - seeing somebody be happy that he got to 5.11 chimneys after 50 pitches 'because he didn't have to use his arms any more' is pretty damn impressive. Then you get Lisa Rands on Gaia, which is impressive if only to see how she does the crux.
So I guess that's three good uns and two ok ones. At least there's no 'return to balance' bollocks.
-
Just ordered from Bigup, cheers
-
Bigup are definitely pretty good re customer service - sent it out on the day of order. I've admittedly not received it yet, but if Dosage3 was any guide it should be here no later than most UK mailorder places generally take. Praise be to the exchange rate - I think you can still get a subscription to Climbing for about £13 too. In spite of the number of adverts it still usually has far more good, interesting reading than any of the UK mags... the features and articles are just somehow far more personal and engaging than the usual "guide to the laetest Rockfax guide area" stuff published here (with the odd laudable exception).
Whilst seeing Dosage4 did you get to see much of First Ascent? There's some spectacular stuff on that but a lot of it seems curiously underplayed. The eventual ascent of Cobra Crack feels almost resentfully included because it wasn't done by Didier, the ostensible "hero" of those sections (though Greenspit looked awesome)?! Same with some of other footage - spectacularly hard run-out climbing (e.g. Dean Potter) but relatively little drama comes across. One of the few occassions I've felt a bit more "over-egging" and Dosage style whizziness would be welcome. Although subsequent viewing have engaged me more.
Some of the extras are pretty good though, including a sickish looking trad route called Iron Monkey. But, of possibly more interest there's some Fred Nicole footage. Very welcome for me anyway as I have only ever heard the controversies(Akira 9b etc) rather than seen the climber. He struck me as akin to a looser, more acrobatic version of Sharma (if that's possible). There was something almost feral about him... swinging gleefully footless off the monos of his home-crag. The possible 5.15 he does for the cameras looked... well everybit as evil as you would expect.
-
Yeah they showed a lot of first ascent, was thankfully spared the footage of timmy o neil.... the footage of Didier was awesome, he seems like such a chilled out but focused guy, and yeah, Trotter was definitely the 'villain' of the piece.
That Black Canyon of the Gunnison looks like the scariest place in the world....
-
you mean Rouhling. Fred Rouhling.
Some of the extras are pretty good though, including a sickish looking trad route called Iron Monkey. But, of possibly more interest there's some Fred Nicole footage. Very welcome for me anyway as I have only ever heard the controversies(Akira 9b etc) rather than seen the climber. He struck me as akin to a looser, more acrobatic version of Sharma (if that's possible). There was something almost feral about him... swinging gleefully footless off the monos of his home-crag. The possible 5.15 he does for the cameras looked... well everybit as evil as you would expect.

And his other dvd probably.

Sorry for the mistake fellas... thankfully you are all knowledgable enough not be led astray by my ineptitude with names (would it be possible to re-edit... for clarity if nothing else?!). Agreed that Fred seems a lovely humble bloke.... the sheer physical glee he expressed in his movements was wonderful. His climbing hard moves just appeared a means of his accessing even greater levels of personal joy (although he did appear to be using it as an excuse for some earlier chipping).

Dunno, one of the following maybe...
-It's a small clip of a woody problem, much like a splinter is a small piece of wood.
-Splinters hurt - so do the holds on that thing.
-Splinters get under your skin - this problem got under malc's.
-Splinters break away from the main body - malc's approach to climbing is also outside the mainstream.
Tis a great little clip. I don't think I'd actually seen it before, though remember people speaking of it in awe. Seems to have become legendary, in the obscure world of climbing related internet clips. :)

The holds are pretty much exactly as they appear in the video, just clamping on the square cut lip!
And that is the whole of the splinter film.

Question: Does the DVD version of Stick It have good video quality?
I am watching my VHS version and the video sucks, perhaps this is due to poor conversion from PAL format to NTSC?

the shadow track is official yes, yes it is heat. it is from the second disk in the entroducing deulux edition. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Endtroducing-Deluxe-DJ-Shadow/dp/B0009F2C34/sr=8-6/qid=1166478682/ref=pd_ka_6/203-5494773-6412714?ie=UTF8&s=music
if you wanna get the tume by other means its full title is: "Stem (Cops & Robbers Mix)" BUT that said, i would recomend buying the disk, the whole thisg is great, has some live organ stuff and a mini interview with the man himself.
thanks for the feedback guys...is there any way to get a better quality on line? the dvd one ive made is well, dvd quality, that one i exported as an mpeg4 using final cut.
F'kin fall!
my ribs still hurt.
thanks again guys.

will defo be up in the lakes visiting family more often, some of those problems look desperate reaches.... is that so??
the stone is amazing. My third time there and that is the first time that i have gone and climbed anything apart from "bowderizer". so i was well chuffed, one of the best sessions that i have ever had outside. Boulderuk has done alot for me!
the holds are generally ok (on the problems in the video), and like you say there are a number of problems that have long reaches. it is a strange place though, that inaudible vaudible (or whatever it is called) thing i tried it on saturday for the first time, felt the holds and didnt think i would be able to pull off the ground. 20mins later the problem is in the bag.
sweet place, get gregs guide printed off and go there! i will certainly be going back more often now.

judging from the dirt road the walk down and from the right turn, id say meschia nuova, the sector that is still open, and not secret at all (the owner is a friend of mine and has opened an agriturismo there, so its happy if people go there and sleep at his place), but dunno the wall. maybe its somewhere further down the woods, i havent found every problem thats been done.
maybe worth the search. :)

anyways here's another vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD23Fh8TJaM) for you all.... the quality's a bit shit because I had to compress it to get it on youtube (it's too long for photobucket) if you've got the patience it'll be on my website once the wife and I (she's the computer wizz kid) get round to finishing the rewrite..... :whistle:
if you can put up with the fuzz enjoy........ (and if anyone has some footwork beta for G Warfare......)

and here's a vid with some actual quality hard climbing in it....

Don't know if this has been postred elsewhere, but there's a new online video magazine http://www.momentumvm.com (http://www.momentumvm.com) well worth checking out, if only for Herun and the Sea of Stories
-
Don't know if you have the same problem Stubbs, but the videos on that site continually stutter during playback. Even after leaving to buffer completely, still the same problem. Any ideas?

Hmm the Kehl one did when i watched it earlier, but they all seem to work fine now.

Looks a cool problem, i like the way there is a disappearing spotter in the video! :lol:
-
i watched "memento" yesterday, and i think im a bit disappointed.
anyone else got the same feeling?
theres not a big number of problems shown, many shots from far away, of from the cave to show just a silhouette moving, and generally too much "look at our incredible new kind of filming" attitude.
-
I am down with that.. It was the first bouldering video that I have ever turned off in order to go to bed. I liked the fact that it was a bit more ambitious, cinematographically speaking, but not enough umph. 4 out of 10
-
i watched "memento" yesterday, and i think im a bit disappointed.

i got the same feeling after watching Specimen - one to let your mates buy and watch it round their place
-
Aye agree with both points! Memento is too arty and promotes over-caffeinated sugary drink company way too often and specimen is just plain shit! Best bit on that is seeing Fred do that sick move with his hands and feet on the same hold!

Quality video! That move Lamiche does on plain high drifter takes open handing to a new level!
I wanna go lots and lots the place looks amazing!
-
if you like that one its from the DVD The Road by Movement Films - the rest of the DVD isn't bad either, but not quite the same quality as the Bishop segment
-
Is Specimen really shit? Why? I was thinking of getting it.
-
one word, first letter d last letter t :thumbsdown:
-
Is Specimen really shit? Why? I was thinking of getting it.
More shit in it than pilgrimage, with poorer filming. None of the climbs shown are worked really, they just seem to do them! Very few close ups of the holds or good filming angles. It is just that bad, your money would be better spent on aything else in the world!

Was going to go to that. Apparently it was quite good, dub's not my scene though.
-
Is Specimen really shit? Why? I was thinking of getting it.
it's just possibly one of the least inspiring climbing vids I've seen in a long while
I thought some of the cinematography was quite good (although as monkey boy says, you don't really get much of a feel for what they're climbing) and there's some nice footage of SA but ultimately there's too much talking (mostly from people we really don't want to hear from) and too little action
also, the main 'character' it follows isn't really that enigmatic and certainly not enough to base a whole film around, even if surrounded by a bunch of strong folk
its worth watching (once) but not worth splashing out dosh for

Cheers Stu.

A video (http://bleau.info/real/thepeak.ram)of the dutch climbing team who came to The Peak (read; stanage) to prepare for their world cup in Birmingham.
you'll need realplayer or a realplayer codec to watch this, it's streaming.

Niice. Some good footage of Worm smoking a rolly on there! Liking the way those dutch boys used identical sequences to me on stuff like Storm and Captain Hook, obviously technical geniouses.

Or stoned.

he'll get it next time. just needs to go back and try the first few moves. ::)

tut tut bonjoy. next you'll be telling us you've got a beard. well i've got a beard. a chinny beard. bbbbbbeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrddddddd.

Look again, look again, he matches the top to move feet up, then brings LH down to push left, just as I do. Chew on that one sap-suckers!!!!!!!!!!

so am i chewing or sucking texas pete? you don't bloody know do you? jimmy hiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

Chewing it right up, then sucking it down, like a jelly snake, all in rush cos you fear the wrath
-
Look again, look again, he matches the top to move feet up, then brings LH down to push left, just as I do. Chew on that one sap-suckers!!!!!!!!!!
are you watching a different video to everyone else muthalicker? he doesn't touch that top ramp hold with his left hand at all, its on the lower hold all the time, unless he touches it during the second that the left hand side of the top hold is obscured from view - either way it ain't your sequence sunbeam. kiss my face.
-
kiss mine too, arsechops.

there's a small library of quality French stuff here (http://teamlescollets.ovh.org/site/index.php)

dunno whether these really qualify for quality bouldering videos but i made them today whilst housebound from a trashed knee mountainboarding
apologies for the light flare but i dont have a video camera and they were recorded on the m-peg feature on my digi camera

2 other clips http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-0vVIjzj2w
-
Blimey, is there anything there you haven't done? Definitely quality stuff. Some brilliant looking problems. Would be nice to see a name and grade flash briefly at the start of each problem. If I lived down that way I'm sure these clips would be beta mana from heaven. Nice work!
-
Awesome - A familiar face and a lot of familiar problems (a lot of which I got spanked on ;D). Good stuff. Watching someone do Happy Days always makes me laugh for some reason.
-
well i deliberately did not add the names and grades, as i did not want to enter into debate about that sort of thing + also i have my own names for some of the problems.
there still must be about 2 dozen or so problems i don't have clips of at high rocks , maybe a little project for the summer
-
Slightly off topic but follows on from the previous posts
what's the deal with access at High rocks at the moment?
is there an available Bouldering topo?
-
access if fine as long as you either have a day or season ticket, if people go it is important that this is stuck to or access may change

Loads of other on there too.
-
Heres a video that I made of me and my friends on the week August 12-19 2003 in Fontainebleau,the grades aren't hard but Im sure a lot of you might recognise certain problems and places,unfortunately for me I was recovering from a broken kneecap at the time so ended up filming most of the time ,Im the fat baldy one he he.
About NE5
NE5 is the name we made up for ourselves,poking fun at S7,it consists of myself Toddy (Yoda),Broony,Max (Wee man),Speedy (Swiss Toni) and Pie despite our age difference we have a mutual love for bouldering,snowboarding,B-Boying etc..the NE5 have probably around 10 members now youll might have seen us in our native Northumberland,North Yorkshire or at the lakes at some point.Im currently editing my new film Moonwalk the Planet Ill post that too if it ever gets finished???
Ive posted this video to bid farewell to Speedy who is off to Castlehill to stay there for a year with Max (lucky Gits),if you bump into em say hello for me .
anyway heres the video,Unfortunately Ive had to split it into 3 parts
Part 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbW1ORLDVU0
Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d36nITeG1-A
Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdqAh_Dg8pk

Awesome. Reminds me why I like climbing so much
-
very nice!!! :thumbsup:
do NE5 accept foreign members?
-
very nice!!! :thumbsup:
do NE5 accept foreign members?
It could probably be arranged Nibile ;D,Funnily enough we went to Cresciano/Magic woods last year for 4 days then crossed the border to climb in Italy Val di mello It looked sweet but rained for 3 days running, being in tents we were not amused,no video footage either only pics as I couldnt be bothered.We passed that place that has houses built into the sides of boulders cant remember the name of the place, have you been there?

JWI; Do you know the grades of those problems in the video?
The first one, Indora, is about 2-dan (http://thousand-cranes.blogspot.com/2007/04/grades-and-steps.html) or so, so around 7b+ then. The other two problems I don't know, I wasn't showed those boulders. I can ask around.
Hopefully I'll go there again on golden week.
Oh, and spot Mr. 5-dan slab.
-
I browsed through some back issues of Rock&Snow (http://www.yamakei.co.jp/prev.php?id=11457) in the gym last night and found some pics of Kouyahijiri, the second problem in the Mizugaki clip. Kouyahijiri is 1Dan/2Dan, so 7b/b+ then.

Damn their site designer makes it fucking annoying to download that film. Tedious bollox.
The file is called Buegeleisen.mov , but I can't find a way to get it out of the site. They provide a download link only if your browser doesn't embed the Quicktime film. There's probably an easy way to change that, but if there isn't, the following works:

Posted this in NON quality B' Vid's...
maybe I should have been less modest and posted here.... (awaiting stream of no, you were right first time blah etc!) :-[
anyway people might actually see it here
...so the other half and myself have finally got round to up dating our website, ok I'll be fair she's done 99% of the work I've been making cups of tea and unhelpful suggestions. Still the outcome is that we've managed to re-host the video's I've put together, the portland one is quite long so either leave it to down load or pimp fish it, the curbar one was on youtube but the quality was bollocks.
well have a look see what you think, for a couple of punters (at both websites and climbing) I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.... :dance1:

Perhaps he hadn't seen your post?
Anyway, despite having quicktime enabled players (Mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/)) installed and configured as a plugin for the firefox based browser I use, posingproductions and bigupproductions videos never play and advise to "click to download" a plugin when I already have them. So I usually opt to find the URL where the file is and download it rather than using the "embeded players" at the respective sites.

Bloody hell..... if the Hueco video is so filthy that it's unreleasable even to hardened ukb'ers I cannot imagine what it must feature: I'm naive enough to feel "Stoned Love" approached the theoretical limits of smut. What the hell were you doing there, more importantly did you clean the holds afterwards?! I'm frankly surprised you came back alive - the Texans nearly shot Ozzy Osborne just for pissing on the Alamo!
Please reassure me, for the sake of the children, that this video is locked away safely... preferably in that big warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant is stored at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Alternatively pass a copy onto me and I will soberly and rationally judge its threat level to humanity and recommend the necessary steps, possibly involving a hollowed out volcano and a magnetically levitated "iso-booth". I ask only to do this as a service to my fellow man, not at all for shallow, selfish reasons such as being bored, depressed by the weather, and feeling in need of seeing hard climbing and inventive filth in sunnier climes!
-
For some reason some Sheffielders thing the Hueco thing is verging on Homosexual. If they had seen Stonedlove though they would know that it is tame! Will get some more footage cranked soon.

Perhaps that what drives his success: he's just trying to evade molestation!? It's distinctly possible that he's never heard of "bouldering" and spends his time wondering why hoards of perverts with cameras are always chasing him towards steep rock faces. We laud his achievements but to him, the one consolation in his otherwise unhappy and bewildered life, is that the easiest escape route has often been highlighted in advance. Nightly he gives thanks to Childline and watches out for Ester Rantzen, wandering Hueco with her handbag full of chalk and Lapis brushes, so that he might thank her in person.

Lowell certainly knows how to build the psyche for his films - think I'll get my preorder sorted today. It would be quite easy to say he goes a bit over the top with these promos, but I think the Dosage series has improved with every new film (apart from the Ivan Greene section obviously) and after watching First Ascent it will be interesting to see what Peter Mortimer brings to the mix.
-
i have to say the ivan greene section on the last momentumvm is depressing.
as far as king lines go...that must be ace. almost better than actually doing them...

I think this is what you call taking things to the next level. A climbing film that looks like a "proper" movie. Very impressive.

if thats the one i think it is (i can't play em at work but the title looks familiar) its a few years old, i think i've got it saved at home. is it the one where he sends it on his own with the camera running, screaming at himself etc?
Locationwise it'll be austria, possibly in the maltatal valley. i was never sure cos theres sod-all info available.

Good vid! Shame it doesn't tell you what the tune is. :(

Dave is right. Buegeleisen 8B+/C is located in Maltatal valley, Austria. Very hard and appart fast repetition from Markus Bock don't think that have any other ascents.

This is a video I made, rather quickly, of my recent trip to magic wood (for danny and sara whom I was there with). I thought some others might like to see it, so here you go... Some of you know that it wasn't exactly a success in terms of what I climbed, but it did give me an opportunity to use my new video camera a little bit. This was it's first real outing, so I'm still learning how to use it, and this film is more a test of the video camera with some bouldering... as opposed to a bouldering film I made with this camera!
The ONLY reason it's going under quality bouldering video's is because I encoded it as 720p (the poor man's HD) to retain some of the magnificient quality that this camera delivers (actually HDV 1080). It is not quality in terms of the bouldering that goes on! Also, this means it is about a 615Mb download, for something around 15mins. Don't waste your time if you are on a slow internet connection. It should take about 20min for those on a decent broadband connection.

sorry, I should have mentioned. It's been encoded with h.264. The best way to watch it is to get an h264 codec. I would suggest downloading this pack, since it will only make your life more complete;

Nice vid uncle. It makes such a difference seeing things in high quality.
For what it's worth, 3 seconds is apparently regarded as a good length to show stills, if you want to give the viewer enough time to take them in but not lose interest. Anything more than that and you force people out of their comfort zones. Not necessarily a bad thing, but there you go, just something I heard once. But anyway, I enjoyed your vid!

Nope. After a quick trial run with premier elements I realised it didn't have the creative power I needed, so I am now using Sony Vegas (not the movie studio) for all my needs.

I've got a room with one of those in, always wondered what it was. It talks to you in a robotic voice and those panels flash. I generally don't go in there anymore.

I hear the very latest ones have a panel which opens to reveal a tea tray with scones and jam and everything. Its not clear from the operating instructions how one requests the scones - I can only hope this will be addressed in a service pack or similar.

I used to have a kray supercomputer but after reggie died in 2000 it was impossible to get it serviced. In the end I had to get mad frankie fraser round to pull out the offending conponents with pliers.

supernova will strangely morph into a superior, beautiful problem just after i've done it.
before, it's just a shitty hole.

I know what you mean. I fell off the second last move three times due to heels slipping, then did it with a dab and had to de-pump for ages before finally not fucking it up. :wall: Pretty frustrating.
-
Piranja, done the direct and proper way is not 7b irrespective of lank. What height are you clocking Mr Chapman? I have a feeling you may be dangerously close to joining the lank ranks!
-
I have a feeling you may be dangerously close to joining the lank ranks!
What is the official cut off for "lanky"?
The mean height of UK citizens is 1,755.1mm (5ft 9in).
I think this means men in the article (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk_news/story/0,3604,781616,00.html#article_continue)
So 95th centile for Lank? I'd guess 6ft 1" ish? Any other ideas?

Yes let's call the cut off for lanky 6'1" then all the shortarses can stop complaining about my lankiness. At bang on 6' I am officially in with the non-lanks. ;D

Houdini, I nearly puntered you for the original comment, but instead take a wad point for having the humility to admit that you were wrong. (It's a broad church 'n'all that)

How do you grade stuff like this though? Bouldering grades don't make sense but then neither does a route grade. Actually it's OK cos it's been given a V grade....... :whistle:
-
Font traverse grades, obviously!!

are those shoes any good for heel hooking?

Excellent for toe, ok for heel. If you need proper heal hooking shoe I'll go for lace version of this MAGO.

ok i'll try again.

I enjoyed that Wheel Of Life video. Shame Andi_e and his mates had parked their car under the boulder, had people standing on top of his car spotting, tunes blazing etc...

The 'amateur' was very strong, as Wolfgang saw, and he really should've shook his hand first and not that streak of piss Thomas Göttschalks' (who alas still works in TV). Especially as he just burned him off.
(Wolfgang must've been a pussy magnet. Handsome chap.)

Going to bravely put this in the quality bouldering videos thread rather than the non-quality bouldering videos, I'm sure a moderator could move it if needed. It doesn't feature any hard climbing, varied camera angles, close-ups of chalky holds, exciting failures nor a banging soundtrack. But it's on here for the light and the shadow climber (which surprised even me).

Yes... I'm working on them, need more saturated fat....

But it's on here for the light and the shadow climber (which surprised even me).
The shadow thang is pretty damn cool. Was it premeditated or serendipity playing its subtle hand?
-
Ta. It was serenthingymajiggy I guess - I didn't plan it, I just took the video for the light (i.e. lit-up Fiend against shadowed rock), and only noticed the shadow when I got back home.
-
Sweet clip - the shadow is the icing on the cake :thumbsup:
-
I seem to have my orbital socket plugs in and don't know what or where this problem is, can anyone knowledge me up?
It looks like a sweet problem BTW, is there anything just left of it?
-
It's called Love Handles, Jim...
Stanage End - the bay on the right with all the highball / micro-route things in. LH is V3, there's a V4 just to the left, the arete is V2, there's quite a lot more similar in the area.

I don't know the bay, looks good for a visit

The gentle whirr of the camera is 1000 times better than some wanky, foreign, rap soundtrack.

one is gabri moroni flashing ganymede takeover, the other one is mauro calibani back in tha day, flashing mano aperta (ex 8a) in triora in front of a shocked cristian core. here you will often hear "porca troia" as a disbelief comment. mauro gave the problem 7b+, a big fuss ensued, and now no one knows how to rate it.

oh, i thought he did, sorry.
my mistake.
but you did, didn't you?
-
Nibz, the lower of the two vids is gash. I'm sure he's a 8C+/EX wad but he climbed that like a Christmas turkey.
Also he needs to reaquaint himself with problems around the V8+ mark as he's clearly overly-strong and couldn't grade flour.
but you did, didn't you?
Damn it Nibz; I was hoping to keep my flash quiet . . .

It has been drawn to my attention that the vid's don't play if you have an old version of internet explorer
according to the web mistress i.e the wife - computer boffin etc... you need a quick time plug in and should go to the apple quick time site and the plug in is there

although he's a bit of a fannyhaddock i'm loving his fluffy jowelburners, a powerful look i feel for the modern boulderer.

Awesome looking problem and a great little film.

Antoine Vandeputte on Kheops Assis, 8C, Font.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogTs1YFsp6g
-
There was a high res version of that God Module vid floating around somewhere. Unfortunately I can't remember where.
Can't diss Kehl hairstyles really. Well, you can, but it would be missing the point.
-
a friend of mine knows jason quite well, and he told me he is very disciplined and serious. doesn't smoke, drink alcohol, he is veggy and goes to bed at nine. quite different from the idea he gives...
-
I dunno Nibs. That's exactly the idea I get from the look(s). It's often the way whereas your proper caners look relatively er... normal. ;)
-
yes, but i like to misjudge people by just their look.
;)
-
And rightly so.
-
thanks for the kheops vid unc - always make a point of going to drool at this when nearby.
Antoine (http://profiles.bleau.info/antoine.vandeputte/) is a monster.
-
It's not a bad cv is it...........
http://profiles.bleau.info/antoine.vandeputte/repsdifficulty.html
-
slightly OT, but love the soundtrack to this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFUpyxtSos8&feature=related)
-
Hmmm, looking at this: http://bleau.info/rempart/12297.html it looks to me as if Kheops wouldn't naturally lend itself to a sitter, with that boulder on the left and stuff. The video doesn't show it really either, only shows it from the 5th photo in the sequence I think. Obviously there's some substantial climbing to go from the sit to the stand tho...
-
although he's a bit of a fannyhaddock. . .
What in god's name is a fannyhaddock? An arsefish?
-
Someone who makes more of a meal of it than they need to. RE the vid: making a V11 look like V13.
-
Thank you Houdi! Hopefully I'll be able to use that during my next session:
"Bit of a fannyhaddock isn't he?"
"Oh shut up Blunk. Been surfing the Brit sites again haven't you?"
:lol:
-
FWIW - It's obvious that Kehl is old skool _ fundamentally weak.
I too am old skool_
Arent we all?
I saw another climber on youtube piss this V11, he was clearly stronger, but his bodypositioning was awful compared to Kehls'.
Is anyboedy else out there piss bored of strength?
-
bored of what?
-
People/climbers who still climb like an (overly developed weight training) turkey a dozen years into climbing.
Nibile, bitte . . .

More technical than Kehl though - unlike Kehl he doesn't skip a handhold and a foothold. What was that about Kehl being weak?

wow.
-
Odd problem that. It seems to use all the same holds as the clown (assis), but in a different order, which makes it two grades harder. Now that's eliminate!
-
From what I can see Le Clown uses the right hand edge on Les Beaux Quartiers. Gecko doesn't use this and actually looks a less eliminate problem. But it is rather confusing. :-\

That's got to one of the most beautiful looking problems I've seen on video in a long time. Anyone on UKB ever tried it/done it?

Christopher, they sound like the words of a man nervous of a potential Ormesman crown theft!? Nah, keeping the youth on his toes eh ;)

Ormesman?
What? Is there one man enough to challenge the mighty Shelmerdine?
-
I was under the impression that that man's status was cemented and Pantontino and Doylo were next heirs to the throne respectively. Men of honour.
-
well no offence to what's probably an excellent achievement, but a poorly-climbed, poorly filmed version of a FA is hardly a 'quality bouldering video".
-
Well I`m sure if he`d had to work the problem instead of practically flashing it ie. sending it second go he might of climbed it in a style you would approve of.
-
Oh pretty much on site.
-
don't get me wrong, i'm not for a second belittling the achievement, i've never made a first ascent in better style myself, it's just the thread title that should dictate the content. This should have it's own thread in 'news' imho. All FAs of new boulders at the climber's limit are worth publicising, regardless of grade, but there's a place for it, that's all.
Think camera angles, multiple shot angles, good editing and music in time with the moves etc. Hopefully you get my point
-
I'd take issue with that. I consider West Coast Gimps to be the best bouldering film of all time and captures the essence of roadtrips/having a laugh with your hombres etc far more than something like any of the dosages do (although such productions have their place of course).
Far from saying Doylo hasn't paid any attention to the edit, it was filmed in situ and as such comes across as such. For an example of how NOT to make a climbing film (in my opinion), refer to Memento. That's what happens when someone gets hold of an expensive boom for the first time (p.s. I'm aware of the film makers credentials).
-
I think Momento is great as it gives me exactly what I want in a flick, hardcore action. Plus insight into inspiration and just how hungry top flight boulderers look, ie. Anything for double egg and chips. I swear the man was tripping on hunger . . .
Dicking around is for dicks, been there etc.. Just not interesting - in JACKASS for sure, in a climibing film, self-indulgent shit and a case in point of what a good editor should leave on the floor.
-

Drop Doylo a pm and I'm sure the man will supply you with some top quality homosocial musculo-entertainment when not on the road with his fellow truckers. Don't go into any public lavatories in Kent at the moment ;)
-
Something from the other day. I'm getting lots of nice font footage, but will release it as a longer thing rather than lots of little bits. I posted this to try and clear up where a line went with the FA but still have no idea. Anyway, whatever it is, it's cool.

He was probably shitting it. Isn't the landing meant to be death from that point? ???

Tyler Landman wrote this on moonclimbing:
The topout is not hard but it is exposed as it is over a dropzone that would most likely result in death.

I had to really commit to the scary unspottable topout

Interesting vid, Blunk. Not least as it shows how far off her limit she is on this climb. Fully in control hardly any wildness - she can climb V14 that's obvious. She really wasn't balls-out anywhere in this film was she?
Shows you just how limited boulderers are by fear, doesn't it?

My thoughts exactly Houdini. Occaionally I manage to climb that well. Although not on V-12's... ;)

Hmmm, you make a good point there jim.

I know its hard to tell from a video but there is no way that's 8B! All the holds were big and even when he used the smaller ones on the finishing prow the foot holds looked really big! No disrespect to the problem though it looks good.

No.
Seriously, often when you see someone do something at their limit they look like they piss it. Sometimes total control is the only way you can do something at your limit and hence it looks as if you could do something way harder but that isn't the case.
Of course I don't know if this is the case with Lisa Rands on Mandala (good fucking effort). Just a general point.

Nice. I found that little vid more inspriing than The Quest by Total Climbing.
-
I didn't! The Quest is awesome! That vid was too small to see anything. The direct finish to Hokum is ridiculously high...
-
'spose it depends what you were looking for. Im the Quest I was hoping for a video that might inspire me over the damp winter months and showcase the best problems on yorkshire grit in some of the best venues in the country. Instead, there was no story, poor editting, uninspired music and problems almost exclusively Font7 and upwards.
In the video above I saw story, context, engagement with the climbing experience and climbers, editing, cutting between camera angles, music that actually complimented the video and a variety of problems that didn't seem to be chosen just because they were high in the graded list.
Granted the quality wasn't great, but it showed great promise, was free and worth every penny. I paid good money for The Quest and felt cheated.

What it be like for a bad right shoulder? it doesnt look to intensive in that department! Maybe one for a few weeks time.
-
There are a couple of other ways of doing this move. I originally did it by getting the visible sloper on the lip with my left and another sloper (hidden on vid) with right, making a hard cutloose, wacking heel next to right hand the getting hold on arete with right. Probably the easiest way to do it is the way Somebody's Fool and Nige did it (although neither manage to top it out), by getting a hold in the roof with LH, going to RH sloper, throwing up the right heel, then going again with RH to lip hold below LH sloper, then again to the hold folk are jumping to in vid. 7b+ with easiest beta. All versions look good.
There is also a prob traversing rightward into the top along the lip - Goose Cannon, also 7b+

Yes, its these god climbers (the foreign ones at least) who beat the rock to a pulp with big sticks and kick chalk all over the place that cause access problems for the rest of us... I hope he's using coloured chalk... perhaps he was just trying to wipe stray turds and paper off the rock...

I'm sure you probably know this slack, but for the rest, you can download these videos very easily using Super (which is freeware!). Basically, you just need to get the rtsp address which is visible when you load the video (it is with media player classic) and then you put that address into Super. You can even batch capture which is great. Just load up all the video's you want, capture them, then encode them to something useful like mp4 and you're away with videos on your mobile! If this isn't clear enough I'll further explain the procedure in another thread.

Nice, reminds me of the time I went along it (although I started in the middle of the gorge, went to the far end, turned round and came back to where they started from.
Definately got balls walking across that beam holding the camera instead of the via ferrata, its a good 60m drop.

Cool. What a great idea. Never seen a video of it before. JB Hofer of the Finca la Campana has cycled that fucker! He crossed the girders with a bike in each hand. At 5 mins 25 secs on the vid he walks past one of the best vert 8a's around - Musas inquietantes and the Bernabe fernandez 8c Hari Kiri. Another Stunna. The via ferrata is a new addition, not been on it since then but it makes it all a lot more punter friendly. Good Work.
-
i have been there climbing as well, at it scared me like hell.
anyway now i'm proud we did it!!!
musas inquietantes is a wonderful route, it was the first female 8a ascent of spain and when i went there there were two massive holes in the caminito on both sides of where you had to stay while belaying...
-
btw, and being pedantic, i think the description of the vid is wrong, the caminito doesn't lead to makinodromo. to get to makinodromo you pass through the railway tunnels and cross the hill up. if i remember correctly.

not really bouldering but there is an interesting feat of strength by steven jeffery, dropping two handed from a considerable height on a (much) lower campus rung.

Well Eddies, if you start it from there you miss the first 3 moves out. I suppose your version might be worth doing if you cant do the proper full-lie-down-backwards-grovel start ;) :lol:

i kind of thought it would be easy at the top and i was right, all the hard climbing is at the bottom, then its about 2+, but some of the holds were a bit thin, its fine but scary with no spotters, I would def recoment going and doing it, the arete to the left aswell, I did not even bother trying that one, def need a spotter or two for it as the crux is at the top.

Thanks for the link to the vid nibs would be interesting to see the one of the above shots too (although maybe its not been posted out of respect for the climber, didn't you say he broke/fractured his elbow?).
-
It looks incredible. When can you take me there Lore? The video inspires me, the photo scares me.
-
yes he broke his elbow, but it's been a while ago and he's cranking hard. he was also the routesetter at the last comp i entered.
uncle,
i'd wait for cool temps to go there. to be honest it's not my game at all, but i've always wanted to try the moves on a top rope.

Cheers clm. So is the bit I linked 8B, or is that for the whole thing? Google translate doesn't make it too clear... this bit: "+ 7c to the lip, then rest, then 8b/8b + to confirm the lip to the summit. The sequence total is open ...
" seems to imply the whole thing is still a project - 7C into 8B :o Anyone got better french?
Edit - ignore my ramblings, just found the bleau.info (http://bleau.info/orsay/2734.html) page.
-
Part 1 starts at the back of the roof and finishes in the middle (7c), Part 2 starts in the middle and goes to the jug over the lip (this is whats in the video). The link up of part 1 into part 2 is a project. Godoffe has been trying it on and off for a long time, and has recently got back on it after a long layoff where he lost the plot (he got so pissed off with dropping the last move of the 8b on the link he thought he was going crackers!)
Luckily, all of you who've met the man know he is already crackers...... 8b+/8c for the link-up, anybody?

I think he looks like some climbing Austin Powers, back to crank having been cryogenically frozen in 1978. The women in the vid posted by Mini ain't exactly lardy either.

After 3 years and at least 100 tries, Ingo Gräbner has made the first ascent of Sea of green at Tretboot. The problem is short, only 6 moves, something that is pretty rare when it comes to high end problems. According to Ingo, the 5th move is a one-percenter. Last 30 days he has done four 8A+ but no 8B yet. All things taken into account, 8B+ sounds nothing but brave and logic;) Congrats ol' chap!
Bouldering in Frankenjura. My hardest project yet. 3 years effort, 5 kilos to loose, more than 30 days, more than 100 tries. FB 8B or 8B+.
Skip to first two minutes if you don't want to get bored. Skip to 3.35 for the ascent.
-
if he gains back those 5 kilos the ascent is not valid.

Kimera looks a bit easy....
(just to remind you the above is obviously stupid)

i know what you mean, it is proberbly one of those that looks easier than it is.

I know what you mean too but he tends to make everything look like that.

honestly, the video is deceiving. i too was thinking hey that's easy. i'm sure it's not. anyway this is how he does new base line...

I did ab it to have a look. Straight up is V11, and pretty scary. Going left is supposedly V12, but after a look on a rope, probably V11 but less scary.

Fuck me, just checked out the Island! How cool? This has to go on the the must do list. Is it pointed at in any of the recent guides? I think its awsome that an 8c in font has finally come to a point when it's less than 10 moves.
-
Satan I Helvete Assis is 8C and under 10 moves. In fact, it was the first 8C in the forest. Kheops assis is probably 10 moves or less too, and that's 8C (or maybe 8B+). Mecanique Elementaire is also 8C and probably about 10 moves but I can't remember exactly. Le Dernier Fleau is about 10 moves too and that is 8B+/C. In fact, that's all the 8C's I can think of, and they're all 10 moves (or thereabouts) and less.
To find the Island, go to Coquibus Rumont and find Serenite. It's very obviously on the same bloc.

Think it's called Superman, 8a, in Meschia. If not, there's a dyno that's very similar by that name.

yes i also think the dyno is clark kent. sadly it's not in meschia, but close to there, in a secret and closed area.
the swiss vid is well psyching. apart from la grotte de souspirs every problem in that vid is on my tick list. especially le vent nous portera and souvenir, which are both nicole's ticks and a must do for evey good man.

cheers. weather in week one was a bit shit but week 2 was amazing, cimiganda and murgtal are a 30/40 minute drive from andeer, but the sustenpass is 1 hour 30 but well worth the trip, but be warned the day before the video footage it was -1 and snowing, you are almost at 3000 meters, but what an amazing place, all road side a cafe. what more could you ask for. the cimiganda area is superb, unfortunatly both times I climbed there it was raining. so not much footage, also I spent all day there trying this amazing 8a arete thinking it was a 6c :-\ but so much undeveloped rock, all the areas are in the bloc heart book

i don't know much about grades, but that's the grade people give to the traverse. i can tell you the first moves are the hardest, the rest is just blowing balloons ;)

looks like we'll have plenty more to go at soon momentum are giving away all of the videos they've been selling to pople for ages from their website
Yes, the rumors are true. As we announced in Boulder at the screening of Perfecto, we are taking the whole site and the archive of videos we've been building and giving it up to the public.
Stay tuned. The Free MVM launches the first week of September and we'll be adding new features shortly after that. We're reloading once again!

Drew,
did my groovey film show the beta clearly enough for you? I know it cuts about a lot between different angles, so I was wondering whether it makes sense to anyone who doesn't know the problem.

Yeah, it was pretty clear really. I suppose I knew the problem by that point, but it's pretty damn obvious. The cuts are all in suitable places. And the music is amaaaaaaaaazing. I want a copy! (That's a lie, don't email me a copy!)
-
only those with a big span can reach straight to the big hold, I find that move desperate and have to go again from the hold just below it and its at the limit of my reach
-
shuddup jim! i can make that reach and i've got t rex arms.
-
I'm not telling lies, its just at my limit. I must have t-rex arms -1.
Do you find that move easy?

I can do it. I've measured my APE index as -2cm at one point. Sometimes it's evens though.

I'm liking that left heel on the starting pinch (I was using toe on), and also the footwork you use to get your right hand on the top. Much less slappy than my tenuous heel out right.
Nice one.
-
Also looks like you have your left foot on the starting hold for iron man when you do the big slap out right at the start. Is that right? Can't quite see because of the spotter. Keen to get back up there.

Vitruvian Man, about 15 times.... Didn't try iron man as have strained a tendon on a problem at Earl, and the way i want to do it hurts. Did the sitter to the pit problem instead. Could be keen for next week. I go to New york on Thursday though, and am out Monday in Yorkshire.

Ah, well Thursday was the planned day so I'm guessing you'd probably rather visit the states than a North Lancs Quarry (although it is doubtless a close call).

The Duel is on the Momentum site far as I remember, think it's listed four or five pages back in the archive under Hueco bouldering - sorry can't link due to firewall at work.

-
cheers Dr T, one day we might get to meet out here, since we keep missing each other, I can render to ipod size for you if you like, or just hire me as a guide,
I already done some nice stuff for december, couple of really nice roof problems, this month will all be all about roof problems...
-
DrT if you register with vimeo then you can download Neils original upload file. This will be better quality than the re-rendered vimeo output (but obviously a pretty big file size). Is that any help?

find a bit of software called TMPGenc 4.0 Xpress, you can convert to whatever size and file output you want, you can even edit the clips in there to cut it down if there are problems you dont want

He took 8a+, not sure why he put the 8b on there.

According to his 8a card. About 63kg. So fuck all wet through.

Actually, I've just re-read the end of that thread and it seems Blunk answered the main question. Which means Trice still hasn't been properly repeated?

Bernd Zangerl makes the second ascent of Fred Nicole Entlinge 8c, Murgtal, Switzerland
Nive vid, there a skip/glitch at around 1:10 though (at least to my eyes) :shrug:
-
True say but if a fake its very well done, no? I'm sure we can trust him :please:
-
Eh? What glitch? There isn't any, as far as I can see. 1.10 is where he hits the crimp before the jug. Chalk puffs off the hold and blows slowly upwards whilst he is moving. Are you sure you aren't just having problems with youtube?
-

I watched it a couple of times to check and its the shadow on the rock in front of his left knee on that move that seems to change, but could easily (and mostly likely if we follow Ocham) be attributed to the shadow changing due to his body movement.
-
Having been back and watched it many times I'd have to say - get a grip slack! The shadow does move - well fuck me so does his knee! This is Bernd Zangerl FFS not someone who's just popped up from nowhere. That promise thread has a lot to answer for.
Good find Rastata - loving the toe hooks.
-
DAB! ;)
I can't see a glitch at all. Looks like the problem revolves around one hard move. Must be fucking desperate.

I made no assertion that the video was chopped/edited/tampered with, in fact I thought it was most likely to be an encoding/youtube issue (hence the use of "skip/glitch" as opposed to "edit"), and as I wrote below I'm happy to go with Ockham (got the spelling right this time!) that its his knee/shadow. At no point was I insinuating that the ascent was invalid, thats what you've read into my posts.
Looks like Bernd has been taking film lessons at the Uncle school of cinematography!
-
these days video evidence doesn't cut it. You have to film it from 3 different angles simultaneously on 3 different cameras (all with synchronised shutters) on 35mm cinema film stock, one camera shooting infrea-red film, and supply it to an independant verification panel. The developed film must come direct from the lab to the panel via armed UPS courier to kake sure there's no touching up of any frames. All the lab staff must be CRB checked and undertake daily polygraph tests and full cavity searches. Then and only then does anyone get a free pair of boreals.
To get free fivetens you also have to have an atomic clock in shot at all times.

Apologies if I was a bit aggresive.
But to say that, in the current climate, your post made no insinuations is a bit weak IMO - maybe it's my reading of your post, but I would say that my reading is not an unreasonable one. If you were confident it was a encoding/youtube issue then why post - most people wouldn't have noticed. If on the other hand you thought there was a reasonable chance it wasn't, then your post is insinuating something.

I commented as it seemed at odds with the (apparently) high-quality/definition of the video, nothing more nor less. I shall endeavour to qualify all future statements/observations so that they are not taken out of context. :hug:
Some people have really been riled by an enthusiastic youngsters cock-up (viz. Liam's reporting and failing to check facts/collect evidence). Let it fade into the distant past as it should do and don't let it cloud whatever "climate" is around you.

how does it not look it? if you got a line of massive jugs, and a set of holds in the roof next to it that would be a 7c if you ignore the jugs, then to me there are 2 things there, an good eliminate 7c and a 5a jug lip. thats what I concluded when i was there, its also what my reading of the spanish topo is, although granted if the topo said "climb the roof handholds but with your feet hooked in the massive jugline for a dubious half-and-half problem tick" then my spanish wouldn't be up to that.

Not-a-great video of Nacho doing Real Keelhaul from the crack under the roof (i.e. not including the C&A traverse). Excuse the commentary. He did top out into the snow, which was commendable.

Did he do the full thing or just from the crack? I thought it was 8B, or is he saying 8A+ from the crack, or proposing a downgrade?
Questions, questions so many questions...
-
8a+ from the crack (i.e. without the full traverse in). No downgrade proposed, that's for sure.

I watched this the other day. What settings were you using to shoot that? Looks really really good..... Nice one.
-
Nice vid Keef.
I notice Tyler does the first move on the Prou, starting from the match, and takes 8b for it. I was told it was 8b+ from there, and you get 8b for doing it with the left hand higher a la Jerry in StoneLove.
Was this discussed at all?
As Percy jokingly pointed out to Dobbin on the YYFY thread its, its a battle with yourself etc, especially when not vying for props/sponsorship or anything.
But missing a hard move at the start of a problem is very different to missing a '5a' topout.
-
the official start is the low start matched.starting a move in is just that.god knows what grade it is the way ty did it,beasting it off that intermediate!
-
Great video. Really enjoyed that - keep em' coming!

jerry does la proue and exclaims "who's your fuckin daddy?" to malc. someone says "he's done it" he's fucking done it." then someone, i think richie, says "hold on, hold on. the foreign judge..." and so on.
them malc crushes it to bits, but IIRC it's a left left go again move. i think the way ty does it is around v34.
-
Thanks Nibs though I know all that; glad people are psyched on StoneLove, I think its an underated video.
I meant that; Prou has been claimed the Jerry way, at 8b, thats all.

It is a great video- a bunch of guys go to switzerland, moral is low, everyone gets spanked, but then malc does some hard pulling and everyone's successful. Wonderful.
Whilst we're on the topic, what's the name of that 8a wall that malc tries with the really big mantel/rockover off edges to a high hold? Looks michael fuckin' jackson.

I'll upload more when i know i'm doing it right. now i'm goint to try and create my 1st ukbouldering avatar from my 1st bit of digital videography!
-
we'd been relaibly told that la proue started matched on the low hold, swiss style not starting on a mat but a t-shirt! Nobody had repeated it at this time and it was graded 8b+. Malc was getting shut down then Jerry did it missing out the 1st move in a couple of goes inspiring malc to crush. Jerry got v.close from the start even fallling off after the hard climbing. For what it's worth he thought it was 8a, the same as the joker. Nobody should be taking this tick missing out move 1.

Judging by the tunes (and dodgy haircuts), these are the same guys who made Playground.
Decent movie with an horrendous soundtrack.

Your meant to slap that crux move Neil. :o
-
What no toe hook? tall + strong is just not fair.
-
I have to say I put 3 sessions in on this and I was no were near it, but when I did it I did it so easy and very static on every move, I then had to repeat it twice for the camera which is why I look not so in control as I was tired
-
Is it going in the March dose :P
-
Is it going in the March dose :P
:lol:
prob not, as i only just put the footage on the computer last night and march dose was finished, been a busy month this month
-
Nice one Neil. Looking beastly on that move!
This is on the ever growing list.........
-
i have 10 ever growing lists
get it on the top of the short list :)
-
thought I might stick this months dose on here, since most of the uk will be heading out sometime over the next couple of weeks, This month has some of the best low to mid grade 7's for you, including futebol, one of the best 7b+'s in the forest, and for all you dyno lovers, a superb 7c double dyno in a cave to two very bad sloppy pinches. AMAZING that's all i will say

Quality as ever Neil. Just returned myself and could have done with the beta on some of those before I went! Was that the first time you've done L'Angle Bens? I would have thought a font resident like yourself would have chalked that one off ages ago! I still haven't done it.....bastard thing...

L'Angle Bens? yes first time I have done it, never tried it till last week, not really my cup of tea, but wow what an amazing little problem, almost flashed it, then spent about an hour trying to finish it. ::)
-
good dose neil. where are mort sur and chaquilles (completely forgot what it was called)? look good
-
mort sur is at berlots, an easy flash if you can crimp the left hand is very small ind you have to put all you weight on the heal and that crimp, the other one is just by crazy horse at apramont, another easy flash if you get a mate to point at the holds as it is just 2 blind slaps
hotline tomorow ;D
-
not petit phoque, god my spelling is becoming atrocious. i meant the 7a+???? roof into big topout, your mate in e9 t-shirt does it. looks quarried.
hotline tomorrow, damn font is so good. don't think your reach on le bidoight went unnoticed. i hate that right hand hold with a passion

that one, if you walk up onto the hill from fata, then follow the ridge leftwards for 300 meters you will be right on top of it, its an ace problem, but fucking hard for 7a+, took us all day to work out the sequence.
Lets see if I can get up hotline, I injured myself on the last visit
-
Did you do it Neil?!

Prob posted before, but a couple of HD vids here

Did you do it Neil?!
no cigar, boosted into the first move as my shoes were shit and couldnt stand on first foot hold, figured it all out for next time, you up for it when you come out
-
Yes mate. Provided I don't break myself again before we come out I'll be up for having a bash for sure.

Although all I can see is a circle with some men in it I'm guessing that's the Maria Alba vid.
Has anyone been bouldering there? I'd be interested to hear what it's actually like.

I've been - not a huge area, but some nice problems. Some very good highballs and the routes are awesome too. Plenty of hard stuff from Ramonet if you like 9a sport routes. A good area to 'tie in' (geddit?!) with a routes trip around some of the other local crags

This months dose of font for you all to enjoy.....I have been pretty ill this month so not much climbing but what I did do was quality, also found some footage of kook so thought I would fill the video out with this, just incase you were all wondering how he managed to get to font when he lives in the cave.
Enjoy all..... Hopefully I will be better this month, but its of to melloblocco for a week

This is Babelfish's opinion:
video of the visit of the Cantabrians Javier Meng and Maria to Seville to see the zone of the Hill of Hierro and Bologna. First Ascent of I am gay: 7c+ by Rodrigo Rodriguez, and a few of beautiful blocks.
Make of that what you will.

Well exactly. Gay Spy is the early 7c+ problem that actually climbs up a good looking independent bit of rock that you can't just sit on the top of whilst standing on the ground.

Sean recently made the second ascent of Velcro Low in the Squamish North Wall boulders. Tim Doyle, who did the first ascent, never graded this but Sean thought it V13 and the fact it's remained unrepeated for so long is probably confirmation of that.

If you ask me, watching that vid and the Jorgenson one of him in Japan are pretty much akin to watching an Ad for Nike or Adidas. Good to see the commercialism in some ways, but I think the raw power of the bouldering video is lost to the logo.
Give me Free Hueco or The Real Thing editing any day! ;D
-
agree about logos. Didn't notice it so much in the videos but doing guidebooks you often see a pic and what you see is the logo, and some time later a climber then a climb. I remember years ago see a Mammut ad on the front of On The Edge. A while later i noticed that George Smith was behind it, and perhaps a bit of Gogarth. It underscored the whole authenticness of the pic. I wonder how JB's pic of Bransby at Eigg would have seemed if instead of the Joe Brown helmut there was a massive Petzl logo down his sleeves and legs?

Thanks for the props guys ;D
What's perhaps ironic is that all of Ben's sponsors' logos are clearly visible for anyone who is actually interested in what gear he uses (except the boots, but they're pretty obvious). As it looks, it is just the stuff he happened to be wearing/ using, and we didn't make any efforts made to ensure they were on display, but some of those logos are extra compared to the kit you'd buy. I think the trousers were logoed on both leg pockets instead of one, and my quickdraws never had DMM sleeves on them. Just goes to show it doesn't need to be in your face, I always thought it must be more effective advertising to have a climber looking like he actually uses the kit rather than just being paid to wear it... or has that ruined the shot for you?
-
FWIW I don't care if climbers are logoed right up, if it pays the rent and gets these heroes out climbing great things then fair enough. You can't realistically expect sponsored sports(wo)men not to chapion their sponsors, and you can't expect companies to provide sponsorship for no tangible return.
-
Theres wearing logos and theres wearing logos. Sometimes it's just like people only do things because they get paid.

hi nic, I don't have any problem with them wearing logos either, and could never begrudge what Neil Gresham, Keen Youth, Tim Emmett, Leo etc earn from it. I'm sure they work very hard for what they get and do a good job for their sponsors. I just find that it takes away from images in climbing terms for some reason. It's like the pic of the girl on the old front cover of the Yosemite Climbs guide. It seemed to me the image was all about the pretty girl, less about the place or the climbing. Same too with logo shots.
I saw Leo do a lecture one time, and there was a relly big Audi presence in it. He drove around in an Audi, the logo was on this clothes and his parachute had the massive logo. My impression was the Leo was trying to sell me a car. If someone approaches you in the street and tries to sell me something, i get defensive because this person wants something from me, and I close myself off to them. Leo's lecture had the same effect on me, and it turned me off. Logos, especially in your face ones, have a lesser version of the same effect on me, personally. A sponsored climbers get paid because a company believes that their actions and image will have an influence on those of a viewer.
But again, no problem with it. If Dave Simmonite, for example, wasn't getting paid for his part in this process than It's unlikely he would have got to take so many great pics, or Leo wouldn't get to do so many great things.
-
I'm sure we pretty much completely agree Grimer.
I doubt very much that Audi were trying to sell YOU a car, I am equaly sure that they spent a large sum of money getting a marketing company to focus group their target demographic to assess which type and level of marketing was going to be most effective, and acted accordingly. I imagine middle managers in multi-national organisations with a golf handicap of between 2 and 26 who considered themselves to be solid and dependable but slightly left of field were very impressed with the lecture and branding. You're just not Audi's target audience, and as such they won't pander to your wants. Equally I'd say that the majority of people on this board are not Beal/DMM/Wild Coutry/etc target audience from the perspective of marketing. We are people who buy the products these companies sell but I imagine that our purchasing strategies are somewhat more refined and sophisticated than caring what X was wearing when he climbed Y as featured on the front cover of Z. I may be overstating the savvy of people here, but I don't think so. So we can grumble about the use of logos or look past them. The more logos the harder it is to see through them and I guess we all have our personal thresholds of tolerance for this kind of thing.
If someone offered to sponsor me (riiiiight....) then I'd have no problem with logo-ing up, that's the deal. I wouldn't feel like a sell out, I want to climb and these theoretical sponsors want to help me do that (for their own reasons) sounds good. Of course they'd have to be 5.10 if it was a boot deal...

Anyway, please can some rockboot company who knows what there product is used for, sponsor the following climbers, (or can someone let me know what boots they wear): Nik Jennings, Sean Myles, Nick Dixon, Johnny Dawes, Marc le Menestral, etc.
Obviously in order of influence (most to least) and unrepeated esoteric wall problems.
-
i have nothing against all the logo's in view, well i do i think it's ridiculous. what really gets me is the taking the t-shirt etc etc out of the bag and putting it on for the shot. the photo of katz on cirque de freak made me cringe. he's a boulderer doing hard moves close to the ground and watching his back, not a snow rock and trek advert
-
I was holding the 'top rope round the corner' on the gresham shot, and when it came out I had a pretty similar view to Dave's. I guess the thing to note is that at the time of our respective front covers we were both on the same photo incentive deal with dmm the difference being they will have paid out for gresham and (if I had sent an invoice in which I don't think I did) not paid out for me as my logos were to small.
In my 18 years of dmm sponsorship I don't think I have ever had a photo incentive paid for any of my front covers, this never really bothered me as I felt like a twat if I had logos all over the place, but in the last few years (since being a father) I have been doing all I can to try to still climb as much as I want and this has involved trying to make some money from climbing (also means I get to say "just off to work dear" and go to Stanage)
At least if the majority of the people on here feel the same as me about logos I will just continue keeping them subtle(ish) and continue having Paul refuse photo incentives.
I don't know who is more made up JB for taking the 'best cover shot ever' or me for being in it. If you could change all the comments along the lines of:
shit helmet, crap looking clothes, stupid face, overbite, looks like he is shitting his pants, ugly fucker...
to
My favourite mag cover shot. The hansom side profile, crag, manly lack of fear, location, the obvious power, fanatstic!
then it would def be me...
-
Ben, I preferred the one you did when sponsored by Durex

Well, you're the one who's inspiring everyone seeing the covershot and JB is the man who captured the image so it could be on the cover so equal "props" to you both.
The reason it's such a great shot is that you don't look like a sponsored hero (sorry!), you look like a climber, doing what everyone does and feels at the weekend, just at a level most weekend warriors could only dream of.
-
As a one time chef (and probably closer to a mention in the red book than a well known mockney cunt) who was a one time Vespa rider I fucking hate sponsorship, and I'll tell you why. Fucking Sainsbury's never offered me a Million quid a year to sell shit food to the proles, and there's another thing for that sort of cash I'd have got my old fella out and genuinely cooked naked.
So in short, I'm not bothered by it at all.
-
I think the best thing about that photo was the fact it obviously wasn't staged and captures some proper climbing, not the fact its lacking in logo's.
Personally I couldn't give a shit if someone is covered in logo's or not, its the last thing my eyes are drawn to, its the climbing I look for
-
Exactly what I meant Jim. Much rather a logo pasted climber in a genuine situation than a logo-less one in a staged photo-op.
-
not paid out for me as my logos were to small.
In my 18 years of dmm sponsorship I don't think I have ever had a photo incentive paid for any of my front covers
I didn't realise that, I always had DMM down as 'the good guys' of sponsorship. If you can identify the gear they should pay up. I don't see how having a DMM t-shirt on a bouldering shot is better advertsisng than someone clearly climbing fucking hard trad with a DMM rack!

I was thinking the same thing. The holds and moves look was too easy for 8c but I suppose you can't judge it until you have actually seen or tried it. Maybe it's one of these cases of over inflated grades on the continent but they guy has done other hard things so I assume he knows what he's talking about.

This month has been so hot 30+ most days. so I decided to re kindle my love affair with the forest by choosing to climb some of the best the forest has to offer, so I made a list of the 15 of the most classic (according to bleau.info stats), most climbed routes of the forest, mainly low 7's and the clasiic mary rose. These are all good climbs to do when its really hot.......
Hopefully this will give you some inspiration to come climbing in the summer months........
enjoy.........

By the magic of intertextuality, I give you...Ukbouldering and Franz Widmer in conversation
The holds look rather large for 8C too but what do I know...
Beside a few nice problems that I opened out there it is definitely Kryptos which is the hardest and one of the most beautiful lines.
The holds and moves look too easy for 8c but I suppose you can't judge it until you have actually seen or tried it.
A friend of mine, who discovered the whole area, showed me the line a few years ago. I tried it already by then, but it was too hard. Last automne I went back and I found a good solution. But still I couldn't link it together. The problem was to match a very poor slopy hold in about the middle of a slopy edge that leads from a sitstart to the top of the boulder.
This spring I went back and I felt stronger than before, having done as well quite a few other problems in the 8B range. Last Sunday I finally made it through Kryptos.
Just jugs!
It felt not easy and think it is one of the hardest problems I've ever done. That's why I suggest 8C.
may not be 8c
It's a tough grade as I know. But for me it seems right and I'm open to hear what other people think.
Jonny Jugs!
Who is this Jonny? I must seek him out and learn from the master. I am ready and willing to forsake all material possessions and take a solemn oath never to unleash the crimp of G upon unarmed women. I also promise to teach Markus Bock how to climb.

did you ever finish it?

so fucking close, two years ago...about 5 times from the jug on one day...then fucked my ankle in the States and wasnt confident enough to lob off on it for about a year. Jumped on it this year and hit top third try and ripped off the jug and tweaked my neck....
being a fat dwarf doesnt help!

Nice vid TM, still not been to CyL but it looks a bit weird bouldering so close behind those posh houses?
-
Them posh houses are holiday cottages. Think they were supposed to be caravans when the initial plan was made.
Used to be a much better atmosphere when it was just a field but it's good to still have use of it

That's fuckin wicked! Makes it look piss. Interesting to see the sequence. I was doing it very differently (not that I've done it...yet). He seems to go from the mono to that terrible chicken head then lock the chicken head like it was a jug. I was going from the mono with left hand straight to the pocket crimp and then getting the chicken head. Absolute beast Malc. What a problem. Love it!

Sorry, "monk life" was deleted at 9:50:24 Fri Aug 14, 2009.
gutted!
-
It is about time that clip was public viewing.
If it has been deleted because 'The County' is still in production then the producers should be fucking well ashamed of themselves. Nobody cares anymore.
Massive respect to Malc though.
-
dick teasers
-
Seriously? That footage was pretty shit quality! Can't believe it's going into a film. Nothing against the climbing. Uber-waddage to Malc, but with current films looking as slick and sexy as Grit Flick, I can't imagine it.
Unless it's just a short section, like the Young James bit in HXS.
-
that clip was taken by a 13 yr old gangle who had just started climbing. get it sorted small fries
-
Shit, missed it. Thats what I get for trying to go climbing today instead of staying on the compooter! :furious:
-
It could've been taken by Al Lee, or your Mum, I don't think it changes my point that these days, video footage is top notch, HD, slick sexy stuff (Ste Mac on Hubble). This one just aint. It's showing it's age (isn't it about 6 years old?).
-
I happened to catch the clip. Although the quality was a bit poor, the significance of the footage etc etc more than made up for that.
I find that that I'm frequently becoming very bored with so called 'slick footage' and gangsta rap soundtracks that always seem completely at odds with the footage, personally I would like to hear more real/ambient sound. Bouldering is a visceral process and denying that in favour of the 'skate' inspired video footage/soundtrack seems to leave me feeling short changed.
-
my mum has never been to the county and would certainly have had no interest in stopping and taking a video clip of a mutant scotsman on the hardest problem in britain at the time. of course it's a shit quality clip, not that i've seen it, but not everyone has the time, or inclination, to go out with a new hd camera to film everything that they do. i would rather watch a shit quality clip of something like this than not
-
well said dense, we're not all gcw/uncle/lincoln etc... with a tripod and HD camera constantly with you.
I remember seeing a short vid of andy brown doing careless torque many years ago, it was terrible quality on an early camera phone but I would rather of watched it than not
-
Watch it slim! I only film eveything 'cos there's fuck all chance of me doing something twice :'(
I've got that Careless vid on my Hard Drive. Class.
-
Don't get me wrong, I was well glad I managed to see it in time, and thought it was an amazing piece of climbing,but do definitely much prefer the glossier, sexier videos, especially ones of equally hard ascents.
-
I remember seeing a short vid of andy brown doing careless torque many years ago, it was terrible quality on an early camera phone but I would rather of watched it than not
I was trying the pebble problem to the right of cresent arete at the time and saw him do it. Worth a wad point, or a punter point for giggling like children as we'd watched something special?

there is, bu :)
Its quite common really (I believe the technical name is a "boom"). How else would you get shots from above when there's nothing behind the boulders/wall thats being climbed (in the video t its being used for spotting and you can see, presumably Derek Thatcher, on an ab rope taking pictures, but that still limits the angles/perspective you can get to).
Modern HD cameras are pretty light really so are unlikely to fall off and get damaged (and besides which they're relatively cheap too).
-
Judging by the quality of the video that camera cost about £1.50.
-
on an ab rope taking pictures, but that still limits the angles/perspective you can get to
a common trick when doing photos/video from ab-rope is to use stilts or some kinda a-frame you get you out from the rock. i shit you not.
-
Another tactic is tethering the ab-rope 2 miles from the crag, but thats just a pain in the arse (and 2 miles of rope is expensive!)
-
Has this been on?

Probably about right. The raw footage was 320x240 pixels!

does that count as superman/II? I thought the idea with superman/II was that once you'd got the RH sloper you pulled straight through to the high hold without any matching or intermediates?
Looks to me its more like superwoman II.
good effort anyway, good to see this stuff on video.
-
Yes you're almost right there Dave except Superwoman uses the Hulk side pull as the intermediate. I have to say that this is the hardest move if you're short. I could do Superwoman but never did Superman.
-
so a kind of supershemale II ?
-
Yes you're almost right there Dave except Superwoman uses the Hulk side pull as the intermediate. I have to say that this is the hardest move if you're short. I could do Superwoman but never did Superman.
I always thought it made little difference which intermediate you used, but yes, Superman is supposed to pull straight through.

Funnily enough I was thinking something similar - only not as good? In fact I've never seen a photo or video of a RMNP problem that's really stopped me in my tracks. There's rarely a fantastic line, a lot seem to have contrived starting positions, the landings look horrible and the crimps mingingly sharp. Even if I climbed the sort of grades necessary to get the best out of the place I don't think I'd be rushing there. Nice location obviously though.

I would say most of the grades are all over the place in that vid.
Next dylog will be telling us that brad pit is only 7b+

7c tops ;)

Hohenrausch felt more like E2 6b :thumbsup:
The last 7a+ shown looks good and a bit tricky at the grade but Brione looks the best by a mile, Molunk and that 8a he does look superb.

Nice, does anyone else think that Gus looks like Streaky?

I remember paying £18 for that film from Rope Race about 3 years back, slightly dissappointed at how short it was for the cost.

Nice film, but shows how far films have come in the last few years. That Jim Calum guy was strong.

Awesome nom

Fall guy starts from the holds you can reach (with a bit of pad stacking for me) off the ground. Did James do the FA of Fall Guy? It's a great problem, longer than most of the RH routes at the Tor!

I excpect a good slagging for using the chip on cul de chien, but hey :P
Font Bouldering...... (http://vimeo.com/7892924)
-
Love the handclap. :lol:
The thing about the chip on Cul De Chien is that it's in exactly the place you want to stand so it makes it very annoying and artificially hard trying to avoid it. I don't get why they don't just fill it in as then you could smear your foot there as you used to be able to (which isn't really any harder than using the chip) and do the move without feeling like your forcing yourself to make it more difficult.
-
here you go all, the last monthly video I am going to make, enjoy.......

The hand clap was my little tribute to keith for his efforts on the DVD, ;D man its hard
I use the chip now, just becasue of what you said, its pretty pointless trying to avoid were the smear is, hence why the route only gets 6c/+ now, they keep filling it in but people keep knocking it off

I think it about time I actually started climbing, the problem is most of my climbing time is showing people around and to good problems, and making the video each month, I don't really get time to get stuck into some harder lines. I am still going to be making my little videos, just don't want to get tied down to the monthly ones, you know over the winter the weather can be a bit shit. So time is precious to me.
-
Good plan. As much as I enjoy them, would be more pleased to see the occasional one of you sending big.

Hey Neil, them dyno's look good. You'll have to show us them next year when I'm next over.
Sloppy work on oasis, I love to see you do it the rock over way ;D.
Is this prow thing at isatis reachy? had a brief look at it last time but didn't bother trying it.
Did you treat the orc to a new top?

I cant do the rockover, its hard, not flexable enought, the prow is not reachy, there is a good crimp on the face to get to the arete right hand.
Orc has 2 new tops :thumbsup: he is here for 3 months, he brought 2 tops and 2 pairs of jeans... So all my vids for the enxt months will look the same

I am very jealous of someone being nicknamed The Orc >:(
Although I don't really have the stature for it myself :(

I could do 1-4-7 on those rungs, and I use a 15kg waist weight. Permanently.

Probably because you're copying and pasting the html code from the video's web-page and handy link to embed the video which contains the URL of the video twice (as opposed to bbcode).
Next time just go to the address bar (the bit at the top which starts "http://") copy that and paste it into your post, the software thats running the forums (Simple Machines Forums) and the way in which Bubba has configured it is set up to automagically embed it properly. Works this way for both YouTube and Vimeo.
EDIT : Oh and having just clocked bigd492's link in another video thread, don't copy the URL when you've viewed it maximised to the browser, just the standard page the video is displayed on.

Some cool looking things in Sardinia
3 dalla Gallura (http://vimeo.com/8593862)
I though Players was pretty average, the Kinder sport climbing bit is good, but mainly because he's so entertaining; the Woods Moe's Valley section is excellent, the China and Vietnam sections are weak, as are the Puccio and Graham sections, as the trailers for both show them climbing the best problems in their sections. The Pringle trad bit is pretty good, mainly just to see the lines. If I had my chance again I probably wouldn't but it, but it's worth borrowing.
-
that vid had some beautifull boulders in it.

I'm sorry, but they look like massive holds for an 8b
-
I was thinking the same sort of thing about those ones R-man posted before :lol:
-
That's what I thought, big moves but big holds. Looks like an amazing problem though!
-
That's what I thought, big moves but big holds.
and.. its about 50 deg! hehe
-
does Pascal do spectre on Stoned Love? could Doylo have some info on it? i think it took Jorgeson a long time to do it and he aint no slouch.
here is a picture of said holds
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_u3yQ-O8Mgws/SzwreWkNeJI/AAAAAAAAAUY/xe_hg_z36p4/s1600/Picture%2B1a.jpg)
(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_u3yQ-O8Mgws/SzwreuXbAyI/AAAAAAAAAUg/TZjPN6J2998/s400/Picture+4b.jpg)
-
I've seen this in the flesh. It's very steep and very far between those moves. Impressive for Jorgeson to do this as it seems pretty morpho. Oh, the holds ain't that juggy either
-
The holds aren't small but extreme tension is needed.
-
The Spectre is the best looking hard boulder problem I've ever seen in the flesh, it must be about 70 degrees overhanging and the holds are quite big but not that positive, which is obviously preferable to something like The Swarm with tiny sharp holds. I think the best thing is that it's the only problem on that boulder, which is obviously massive.
Fuck Font Sausage let's go to Beeshop, you'll be all over it!

Ok, here is my Font effort from last month. Didn't film all problems (wish i had), but gives some valuable beta and hopefully a bit of psyche. It is not fully polished as i was learning how to use Vegas as i went. Two days was enough time to sacrafice.

Well you can in Premiere Pro anyway :P

Hey, it's you from that brilliant thread on UKC, years ago! I remember this was the problem you said you wanted to do. Well done for sticking with it, even if you didn't get it by April. :thumbsup:

Good effort Chris, I remember meeting you down there last January or Feb and you seemed quite psyched for the Portland ;D. (p.s. Still got that project on the go under the cavity roof or has it been done now?)

Being syked for Portland is possible more impressive than climbnig Guy Fawkes. Good effort Sircumfrins shows what a bit of dedication and determination can do.

Is that a variant of the Island (doesn't the original start further round to the right?)

The Big Island is a lower start than The Island. Was a big discussion on numerous forums about it.

Even if Dave started in a slightly unobvious place, Font is full of these starts. Bas/Assis....
-
Exactly.
As someone on that thread points out, are they going to scrub every problem that has a lower start off the list? I think not. End of argument.
If they did scrub The Island (and therefore set a precedent) would there be a rush to do pointless sitters to all the classics so they can be claimed and renamed?
If a Frenchman had done The Island first then they wouldn't even be having the discussion.
-
That is a pile of cock. Les Francais and their stupid naming conventions (which UKC are jumping on, quel surprise) ::)

I was tempted to look for the discussion but came to my senses and backed off quickly when I saw a thread titled "When was the last time you ate corned beef?".

Super Submarine (http://www.vimeo.com/9680744)

^ Where's the hard bit?
-
Fucking hell you pissed that Tanners, beast! I'm guessing conditions were mint.
P.S. Is super submarine not a proper sitter? Not being critical just wondering.
-
When done originally it was a sitter, but now the ground is lower only tallies can apply. TanMan starts off the proper holds, and misses out a lot of Gaz Parry's faffing.
If you wanted to be awkward you could claim he should have pulled on with the right foot and placed the left heel, but it makes no difference.
-
^ Where's the hard bit?
The throw right to the crimp start of Big Marine. The left hand pinch is poor. Its then V8 to the top.

Blimey I used to struggle using that starting right handhold for my feet. Didn't the original standup used to be V7 though, is it V8 now it's a jump start?
-
Blimey I used to struggle using that starting right handhold for my feet. Didn't the original standup used to be V7 though, is it V8 now it's a jump start?
Yeah, its quite height dependent. Its one of those that should get a slash grade. Feels a tad scary at top, if you were to blow off the gaston you would land awkwardly.
-
Easy V7, compared to similar angled stuff like Kudos or Rattle n Hump!
Anyway, top effort Adam!

oh man I want to get back there now, I love this problem, used to use a heel next to my right hand at the start to make getting the pocket easier, fantastic move. Then up to that pop for the top, I bet if feels scary now, used to be bad enough when the ground was higher, although not quite as bad as Eat Em and Smile, that must be worth an E grade now.

Marvellous! He properley crushes it. It's a very different sequence to mine, I've been trying a classicmantle of the edge with heel on the same sloper he uses. Will give this a go if the Peak is ever dry again.

-
Did the victorian overmantle the other day but with my sequence rather than our young japanese friends.Felt like you would need some amazing heel work to press of your LH to the edge with RH. I mantled on RH, turned the heel to a toe, turned the LH to a palm down (ie. both hands mantling down), then RH to crimp. A shame there's not more graunches like this! Anyone know of any project mantles?

Looks a nice wall, lets you top out too - but not as inspiring as real rock. (Having said that, it did make me get back on my fingerboard, so perhaps it is...)

Maybe the day I get shut down by an eight year old girl is the day I should give up climbing :wall:

Pretty cool looking place, like the top out idea but it wouldn't have been cheap. Seems to be pretty short on matting as well. Wouldn't moan if it was my local wall though.
-
Golt they had a similar matting idea at the Spot in boulder: the whole area is covered in normal bouldering wall matting then they have those big moveable ones, which are softer, for when you're trying high stuff. Works really well as you're less scared up high

There was rubberized flooring throughout with a few portable crash-mats that had to be dragged into place (vital as the flooring wasn't really soft enough to drop onto from more than around 1m). Unfortunately, someone broke an ankle falling onto the edge of a mat, so the owners removed all of the mats and just told climbers "don't climb too high"! Madness: the portable mats weren't perfect but they were a damn sight better than nothing. Especially as it was an old-skool Bendcrete wall with tiny slippery holds that made down-climbing harder than topping out! Thankfully, after around a year they installed proper deep matting throughout.

BD athlete Nalle Hukkataival bouldering in Finland (http://vimeo.com/11808643)
Some slow mo stuff on here that must be from the Red, looks reet good. Click through if HD doesn't work, etc.
-
All of that stuff is off Core, the new Chuck Fryberger film. Worth getting if only to see Nalle to that highball 8C arete in the rocklands.
-
friends say that core is wank. 80 % mumbo jumbo. in climbing films just go n climb a piece of rock, leave art-house to the showroom

loved the black diamond one!!! most boukdering films should bee like that it was brillant took me back to my mountain bike days where biking films are more like that sort of music and slow mo!!

I dunno about it being Bullshit, Dave*.
He says:
Grades are abritary
A problem that you've worked for a while can feel easy when you nail it perfectly
He's not sure how hard Jade is
And he wants to travel and try other hard stuff. Come to the UK Carlo, there's an easy send for you up in the lakes.

Agree with GCW, that wasn't a bullshit rant, he is absolutely on the money in everything he said. In my opinion.
-
What he said.
-
Amazing skillz, but whoever did the sound on that video needs to be shot, it was out of synch with the footage of him speaking, and the level of background noise was ridiculous £30-40 to hire a decent mic so you can actually hear the guy is worthwhile in my opinion, I heard him speak but I don't want to know what food people are ordering in the background or be bombarded with road noise!

completely agree with duma, strolled it. very impressive
also completely agreed with his rant, spoke a lot of sense

Unfortunately, Speed of Life is waaaay too hard for me, and it looks much higher that it does in the vid when you're stood underneath it! :o Did manage to tick some other quality stuff there.

He certainly is, I've dragged him down for a session or two in the last week. He's still got it.....even talking of a trip away. Problem is he spends very little time actual climbing at the wall, keeps trying to hug men at the wall, he's been 'training' so hard at it apparently.

Its because the Embed code from Vimeo is html code, whilst these forums utilise BBcode for mark up (so that users of forums don't have to learn the intricacies of html code.....)

I guess that is nice of them...I just wont try and understand it.

Quality of footage out of all proportion to the climbing there Camear - what was it filmed on?
-
Looks like a Canon 7D to me.
-
Looks like a Canon 7D to me.
With a 24-105 lens.
-
It says under the video I think
Canon 7D
Jack (who made it) bought it earlier this year I think and had some seriously good stuff. 1.2 lens, 1.4 lens etc etc. big bag of gear - I hear that having loads of expensive stuff completely guarantees a good video and must be the only reason I havent made anything particularly impressive.
However I think I should put in a word for the hard work syncing moves to music and all the other little things he did with it, vignetting, slo mo, adjustments and so on.
Enough gushing of praise though. I shall stop.
The other videos on his profile are done with a typical HD camcorder (can't remember which though)

Interesting to see that bloke start the mantel with no sunnies, and finish it with them... :oops:

Tom Peckitt - Bulbhaul Edit (http://vimeo.com/13687705)
-
What an amazing line.
-
Nice video and nice looking linkup that, But
I hate the advertising pish at the start, i appreciate that folk have sponsors to please, but i doubt it takes anyone 6 seconds to read each logo. 6 seconds is long enough to think...........hmmmm prana, i quite like prana, when is the climbing going to start, fuck prana, why won't they get their logo off my screen, i just wanted to see tom climb the, oh here we go, oh no it's metolius etc......... :furious:
1 second each, max, would suffice, especially with recognisable brands.
-
It was done to fit with the music, and I hate sponsor logos too, but meh, it's only a short video and if you really wanted to not watch some logos for a few seconds, then just look away or skip through it.
-
This might of already been on here, but I can't be arsed to check the previous 88 pages....
The Masterpiece- Joe's Valley, Utah (http://www.vimeo.com/4228114)

Was it only me that noticed about a half a ton of torn down trees at 2.09 used to patio out the landing, fucking disgrace, they're not exactly fast growing in Utah.
Right where's me drum, I'm gonna be late for the workshop..
-
and I hate sponsor logos too.
Why do you hate sponsors logos? Why did you put them in if you hate them so much? Did Tom ask for them to be included? Or did you have a pow-wow with the CEO of Metolius and Prana and come up with a concept for the video?
I'm not taking the piss (well I am a bit ;)) I'm just curious about why the logos are there.
Anyway nice climbing :)
-
Tom and I discussed this, as it's essentially a publicity video (I believe) for a few commercial events in the next few weeks. I don't hate sponsor logos that much, but I wouldn't normally use them unless a) I'd been given financial support by that company to make a video or b) it was a company that is homegrown and could use the publicity. Meh, whatever, I know you're not having a go (or much of one, at least) and it's only a few seconds of film and anyway, the same footage is available on a video without any logos and with many many more fantastic problems that yorkshire has to offer.
-
8)
-
so a) or b) don't apply and yet you've still put them in.
Intresting
-
I have no problem at all with sponsorship and logos. Hell if I was sponsored ( :lol:) I'd happily logo up to the max if that was what my sponsor requested (although I'd hope they'd have the wisdom to realise this might not be the best strategy to encourage sales...). For me they neither particularly detract or add to the video. I was just curious as you said you hated them, which is pretty strong wording. Anyway nice vid, keep 'em coming.
-
I understand everybody's distaste for the logos but it is free.
-
I understand everybody's distaste for the logos but it is free.
I don't find it distasteful. I think that the length of time that the logos are visible for gives me negative feelings towards the companies. 3 seconds in total would be more than adequate.
-
i agree with rodma. i nearly turned off after the first logo. it fits the music? have u no ears?
-
Are people really this irritated by a couple of seconds of adverts floating around? I don't think Daniel Woods had this much complaint after the excessive TNF-ing of The Game video.
Personally I don't think it was over the top, and did notice (and kinda liked) how it fitted with the soundtrack.
-
Summertime in font (http://www.vimeo.com/13771692)

-
Some cool problems. The dyno at the end is great.
-
drew i haven't seen the game vid so couldn't complain ligitimately. to be fair there are only a few people that have said they don't like it. am afraid i'm one of them people where less is more, one of the side effects of being born with a tiny cock
-
another dose of font inspiration :bow:
Great vid, shite music.
-
Dense, how disturbingly honest...
And I have to admit I meant the teaser for The Game, rather than the full blown vid. Surely you watched that? Basically, every other second there is a massive TNF logo plastered over DW somewhere or other.
-
no, not watched the teaser either. all the hyperbole around the prob put me off
whereas all the probs in that font vid look great neil
-
Been away so in Andi's defense I had asked him to put logos in that vid for an event I was helping with on the Isle Of Wight, which has now been cnacelled unfortuantely. They wanted logoed up vids of climbing. He's pretty good at editing so I let him do what he thought best and I personally like the end product. Seems to be a fuss over nothing
-
not really tom, seems to be a fuss over overly long exposures of logos for climbing companies that get more than enough exposure through every other aspect of the video. for instance prana will give you clothing for nothing apart from you having to obviously wear it to get the brand in the public eye, i'm quite sure they won't give you extra incentives for putting a 3 second advert on a film that shows one boulder problem. don't get me wrong i thought the ascent and problem looked great just that the start detracted from the rest of the quality. unfortunately this is going to be the way vids go in future. i've yet to break the news to my mum that itv are going to try and charge pay per view for corrie, then we'll see some real fireworks
-
I agree with your principle actually (but not particularly irritated by it) and wouldn't logo in most circumstances. I haven't done that before for any vids on here and wouldn't for a normal one. However the PR people from an extreme sports festival on the Isle of Wight, which I am involved with, asked for a short clip of something cool with sponsor logos so we whacked some at the start of that Bulbhaul vid (PR love that stuff for events). They do the same for all their skaters, bmxers and other extreme sports atheletes incorporated in the festival/event and this was the first year bouldering had been introduced. In context I don't really see a problem with that. It just happens that andi has posted it as it might prove of interest, which is fair enough. That's why I still think it's a fuss over nothing.... :shrug:
-
Awesome final dyno in that font vid, how does that measure up against others? Looks relatively long hold to hold...
-
thats fair enough tom. from that pov it would be a fuss over nothing. sponsors damn them! life was so much easier when tetleys had no idea that they were sponsoring you
-
i've yet to break the news to my mum that itv are going to try and charge pay per view for corrie, then we'll see some real fireworks
WHAT!? This is an outrage! Fuss over nothing? this means war...

Yep it is, most newspapers web-sites have advert trailers that precede video footage.
Fortunately as a sentient being I can choose to ignore these and still enjoy the main show (just as people have done for years in cinemas).

I think the main problem with the logos is that this isn't an extreme sports festival, its a bouldering forum and there was not need or incentive to keep the adverts on it and could of easily uploaded a shorter version without logos.
nice crushing however, made it look a path (you can see the foriegners hudled round the computer "look at those jugs, its piss, lets catch the next plane over" etc...)

Chris Graham says so. Apparently Earl tried it and was close, Tom Peckitt's mate was really close as well.
Someone logged it on UKC a couple of days after I first tried it, I started to ask people about it in the forums then all of a sudden someone logged it?
I'm pretty sure it's the second but I'm sure we'll find out if it isn't

Be bold and claim it. If there is a ghost out there, I'm, sure they will make themselves known.

-
what do you mean? people wear different shoes on the same problem quite a lot
-
really thats news to me. i would of thought you would want the same feel from both feet. i guess if your doing a problem where one foot needs a stiff shoe on an edge and the other a smear two shoes could work well. just never thought of doing that before
-
Quite a common practice really. Usually due to the fact one type of boot works better on a toe or heal hook. Some climbers even change shoe mid-problem. See Mark Katz on Mr Fantastic in Stick It for details!
-
Yeah, but Mark goes one better by changing boots mid crux. That's specific for ya!!

Nice vid Omega! I'm visiting Wellington in late Nov and was wondering if there was any decent bouldering in the vicinity (had planned to just head to Castle Hill). Anyway, looks good. Psyched now :-)

I'll be in Wellington in November as well. Planning to stay for a month or two before travelling round the south island. Been following Powerband, and I'm keen to check out the Rak. Liked the video. Hopefully see you both out there!

Probably not to everyone's taste but a short video of training theory from the original beast!
Wolfgang Güllich - Training theory (http://www.vimeo.com/5997391)
Could somebody give a translation of this please?
a literal translation:
the main transmission of power to the rock is performed by the arms and these are performing static (holding) power only for instance.
consequently i am training static holding power using static exercises, e.g. on ridges.
in contrast the other bulk musculature requires both stresses: dynamic and static holding power.
for instance blocking at a right angle needs static holding power (of) the upper arm, the whole upper body.
Pulling is dynamic work.
thus specific exercises for specific stresses, this is the uttermost important principle of training.
wolfgang is using a very scientific "trainingslehre"-lingo, so i may miss some termini technici in the translation...
the last sentence sums it all up...

Wondering if anyone could help me, looking for a video i've seen before which im pretty sure i found in here but i've looked for it and cant' find it. Problems where overhanging crimpy ones, there was snow on the ground, mats where really colourful. There where shots of one problem of him trying and failing and then for the send he had had a hair cut... think thats all i can remember about it.....
Anyone know what im on about? lol

As in lots of random colours not just one? Sounds like Organic pads.

If so, you can pretty much narrow it down to being Americans in the footage.
-
One tip that Milford Cubicle may find useful in the future is to use bookmarks to be able to find things that they come across in the future.
You can even used web-based bookmarks such as the service provided by Delicious (http://www.delicious.com/).
Another option might be to sign up at YourTube and/or Vimeo and when you watch a video that you like to add it to a playlist/favourites that accounts at each allow you to create, thus providing a way of building a library of videos on a specific topic that you enjoyed/may want to watch again in the future.
Otherwise you may as well just go and piss in the wind, a bouldering video with snow and bright pads, hmm, must be several thousands of those floating around the net.
-
Yea it was organic pads, think it might of been filmed in colarado, and i do have vimeo and youtube acounts now so i can find stuff again but i watched it before i got them :/

Virtually all of Chad Greedy's vids are annoying. The more so when the climbing is so good! :thumbsdown:

-
if you find annoying Chad's videos then don't watch it :shrug:
or stick to something safe & :yawn:
PURE - A Bouldering Flick by Chuck Fryberger OFFICIAL TRAILER (http://vimeo.com/3018853)
-
:agree: - not everything has to be overproduced, with brooding dramatic music, slomo close ups etc. The contrast of the style of his videos is welcome, and the quality of the ascents often incredibly high. At the end of the day you're watching a free climbing film so you can't really complain.
Also - great vid Will; I really enjoyed watching that, having been in the forest at the time and failing on many of the problems featured!
-
I thought the wolvo thing was great. Made me instantly want to go climbing and search the web for get rich quick schemes so i could go.
-
i agree, it was good, but theres only so many times you can hear Mr Greedy's catch phrases and watch his fist tagging before it starts to grate. If he kept quiet while filming his films would be much better. His section on Dosage 5 was really good except the catch phrases.
-
I fell asleep during the wolvo vid (although I was jet lagged), didn't like the split screen's and over-use of dude (although that was to be expected). I do however like free videos and so wont complain too much..
-
i watched a couple of minutes then went and did something else. can't remember what. might have been washing up, cutting toe nails etc. a lot more worthwhile, that's for sure.
-
His section on Dosage 5 was really good except the catch phrases.

Awesome video Will. I'll be sticking it on my phone (if that's ok?) for beta for my trip in December. There's a few probs i hadn't seen before that look great! What is the consensus opinion of Magic Bus? I've heard it's soft but it looks great so I'm keen to get on it regardless of the grade
-
Cheers mate, I hope you get the same weather as we did.
Magic Bus is the softest 7b+ I think I've done to be honest, I wouldn't argue if it was 7a+!, the holds are massive and there is a couple of different sequences as well. I think you'll piss it. It's worth doing if you're there but I wouldn't go to Buthiers just to try it.
You should try Appartenance and Controle A which are both at buthiers, two of the best 7c's I have ever done!, amazing!

brilliant videos, makes me want to skip work on the next dry day and head for the peak!

Brilliant, looks like they had a great trip. Some nice holiday grades for them as well.

Superb.
For someone who's aspirations are to climb many of the things filmed, the style of ascents (ie; the lack of the problems looking overly practiced, then filmed) in particular made it really stand out.
Great stuff.

Can we stop putting those in the 'Quality' thread
-
I have the same dilemma with the Vimeo group, especially as I tend to watch all the stuff that gets added. :yawn:
-
Well the video is clearly labelled as to who its from, no need to actually watch it if you know you're not going to like the editing/production.
Editorial standards are however laudable GCW.
-
what is it people dont like about them?? I think they could be better but they are still quite good.
-

Go back a couple of pages and see comments that follow the posting of the "Wolverine" video from Jon Glassenberg for objections.
-
Well the video is clearly labelled as to who its from, no need to actually watch it if you know you're not going to like the editing/production.
Editorial standards are however laudable GCW.
Yes, but I'm not going to blanket cull all of someone's videos if one was rubbish.
I don't know what's wrong with those ones, they just don't have much soul. They don't make me want to rush out and boulder like a good film should.
-
Guess there's only one way to separate the wheat from the chaff. As I say laudable endeavour from yourself.
-
There is something strangely joyless about those videos, the Klem Loskot video on the previous page is way more fun to watch. The LT11 stuff you just sit through like a spectator, and then they try to put some personality in at the end with a 'lifestyle' segment... :yawn:
-
cant say i liked that giant bullshit (although jon glassberg looks like his uni stuff must being goin well as the effects were quite impressive) and it kinda put me off the video.
i just watched chads wolvo video, and i know what people are saying about the hip hop style rhetoric getting wearing. i do however always enjoy watchin dave graham climbing, i think he displays genuine emotion and a love for what hes doing, in particular i like the way he looks like hes just been asaulted everytime he tops out, the look of somebody who just put everything he had into 30 seconds of intense climbing. gets me psyched to try that hard.
BTW chad is a very genuine guy with a passion climbing, i spent 2 weeks in his spare room, and i wasnt the first or last foreign climber to hav received this kind of hospitality.

To go against the tide of opinion, I really enjoyed the LT11 swiss videos as they made me want to go there and try the problems. I thought the editing was good and the music too, slick production for shorts. (I can maybe see this is why they were a bit lacking in 'soul' but I enjoyed them regardless!)
Really liked the Wolverine vid too as Dave Graham is always good to watch climb. it was quite rough around the edges which worked well in this case

Very comfortable. Almost like a slipper but good enough to give all-day support to the arch of the foot. The big thing for me was how easy it was to remove, thus facilitating many goes and in effect possibilizing the problem.

"I went to Joe's Valley to refresh my mind...."
Didn't refresh his thunderpants though. Same red/white stinkers......some people.

That vid was fine except the editing meant that the time he did it, there were so many ccut aways, different angles etc.. you didnt really get an idea for the problem as a whole...
Neat looking rock though - looked like bark 8)

Is this what its come to? Making video's soley to take the piss out of someone else.
Could this result in a hip-hop style video dissing battle?
I dunno, maybe I'm a little sensitive as Chris is a mate but to me thats a new low. :wank:

It does make Carlo look like a bit of a dick though.......

I know. Its all very lame.

Personally I think this is the best effort from Team America I think the concept is funny. Just a shame they had to have a personal swipe at another boulderer. They just look like a bunch of c**ts now, I'm sure there sponsors are very proud.

They might also take an interest in the pink-eye and references to ketamine too ;)
Not sure it belongs in quality section though - as he didn't get the flash, and the climbg was like 10% of the video...

it doesnt belong in QBV because its shit and not funny. However maybe a good dose of K would have made it considerably better, but i doubt it. I mean really, how can you have access to crushers of 8B and above and still make poor videos. It makes me feel sad.

Even wads can't control the weather.

the weather doesnt make you put together shit videos though.
-
No, but making shit videos passes the time when one can't climb 8B's.
Aside from the swipe at Chris Webb Parsons I really don't see what everyone's problem with this is, clearly it would be more at home in the "Non-Quality" as oppossed to "Quality", but then there are a number of videos in the former that should be here, e.g. lagerstarfish's. So go shoot Willacker's for being the messenger and choosing the wrong thread to post it in.
If people are aggrieved at having lost 9minutes of their life watching something that didn't entertain them they could easily have stopped watching after the first couple of minutes of boring chat to camera. Reading the comments that have been posted since the video itself would also have give an indication as to whether its worth watching. If the video really wrangles some inner tension go and post feedback on the Vimeo page 'cause I reckon there's only a very slim chance of the creator's reading comments posted here and without feedback they make another video that is "shit and not funny" and that would be a travesty.
-

Don't shoot me!
I watched it and it made me laugh, I enjoyed watching it and thought it was well put together. It's a shame they had a sly pop at Parsons but I still enjoyed watching it so I popped it in the quality thread. :shrug:

Can anyone tell me where Chris got "pissed" about the downgrade? He seemed quite reasonable about it all on his blog thingy.

Reasonable? Doesn't sound that reasonable. I can imagine off the internet he was probably less so.
although I was personally hurt by some of the video. I found part of the video to be disrespectful and I know I would never try to do that to someone even if I did not like the person.

The video was well made and entertaining and it made me laugh in some parts although I was personally hurt by some of the video. I found part of the video to be disrespectful and I know I would never try to do that to someone even if I did not like the person.
I'm sure Carlo, Jon and Paul etc... know that grading first ascents is not the easiest thing to do.
There are a lot more variables that go into putting up a first ascent than there are to repeat an existing problem.
I would have found this video to be super funny if the unnecessary start of the video was not included.
If you're going to quote don't be selective to support your view point, and more importantly link to your sources (post dated 6th December 2010) (http://www.chriswebbparsons.com/news.php). He looks soooo upset in the picture, like he's just cried a river!
Perhaps dm is questioning where Chris originally disputed the problem downgrade (and not where he was upset by the video, which if you read the above blog post and look at the picture does indeed suggest that he's not that bothered (as I read it at least)).
Further down Chris's blog he writes this about the downgrade (post dated 16th November 2010) (http://www.chriswebbparsons.com/news.php) and it doesn't sound that upset/pissed off and actually quite reasonable as dm wrote)..
Bella Luna my new problem I climbed in Chironico has seen a very fast repeat from Carlo Traversi.
First of all congratulations to Carlo.
Carlo has logged Bella Luna on his 8a.nu scorecard as V12 and I logged it on as V14.
I climbed Bella Luna after 3 days of work and I found it to be a hard challenge for myself.
I was not sure if the grade of V14 was appropriate for Bella Luna but after talking with Two friends of mine who are very talented climbers, one of which has climbed V14, we thought the grade of V14 would be ok due to Bella Luna being harder than other V13s in Switzerland.
I except the down grade, but I do not believe that V12 is appropriate and a grade of V13 would better suit Bella Luna.
Maybe I climbed Bella Luna different to how Carlo climbed it or maybe not, but that's the great thing about climbing Every move is going to be different for everyone.[/i]
I think a) you mis-interpreted what dm was asking; b) the way you wrote the above Adam is mis-representing the facts and adding fuel to a non-existent fire, when its exceptionally simple to be accurate by linking directly to sources.

Oh right, so you take some post on a blog to be the true thinking? I actually heard it direct from a friend in Oz who is good friends with him actually. (I didn't want to say that originally as i usually get stick for it) Its ok though, you can stay up on that high horse though if you want. ;D

I'm not disputing that you may have heard it from other sources, but you and your mates must be world champions at Chinese Whispers and having amazing powers of recall as your italicised text is verbatim whats written on the blog post I linked. As I wrote its a piece of piss to link to sources (not doing so is tantamount to plagiarism), my suspicion (in case you hadn't worked it out) is that you copy and pasted from the blog, so why the fuck didn't you link to it? :shrug:
Regardless, you still mis-interpreted what dm was asking (read it again if you're not clear) and commented on Chris's response to the video, and not the downgrading of Bella Luna which was the second quote and link (with date) I provided.

I thought it was pretty obvious where i got it from? Anyway, i guess we will have to agree to disagree. I am off out climbing.

:-\ Confusing, you first provide a quote without context/source, then assert that it was from a friend of a friend, and now say that you felt it was clear that it was copied from a blog?
If its that obvious why didn't you link to it? After all you had the web-page open and it would have taken a few more seconds to copy the URL and incorporate the BBcode. Why didn't you include the part where he says he found the video amusing instead of selectively quoting the bit that supported the point of view you wished to portray (which may have been influence by what you had heard third-hand)?
This is how things get blown out of proportion on t'net, and as you seem pretty tech savvy I'd have expected you to use your knowledge to provide very simple links (they are after all what the net is built upon) to avoid such confusion as you can link and embed pictures and video and other articles fine.
Reading both posts its clear that Webb Parson had no problem with the downgrade (although did feel it was harder than V12), and that he thought it was a shame they had made a personal dig in the video, but that this doesn't appear to have changed his feelings about the proposed downgrade.
Hope you found some dry rock and you enjoyed climbing. :-*
-
That sort of personal feud (not that I know anything about it) is best kept as such rather than making a film about it and putting it on the internet I reckon. Pretty undignified stuff really.
-
Another example that Americans can't do comedy! Seems like an easy way to publically rip into someone. And its obviously more deep rooted than someone getting a grade wrong!
-
Yes and it's not as if CWP is some sort of punter with no history of hard ascents who's claimed a ridiculous grade (in which case a public takedown would possibly be justified and/or amusing).
-
Regardless of whats going on off t'net CWP doesn't appear to wish to make an issue of it on the net if his blog posts are anything to go by (at least thats how I've read and interpreted them).

I am not going to argue with you. If you knew the true story behind it all you would see my point. Sorry for the confusion.
-
I am not going to argue with you.
I'm not arguing, I'm asking that you cite your sources properly, rather than selectively copy and paste because it really is a piece of piss to do so.
If you knew the true story behind it all you would see my point. Sorry for the confusion.
If you don't wish to get drawn into a debate about a given topic because you have "insider" info from those involved which you're not willing to post/verify because you've been asked not to or you don't think its appropriate, then as with every other instance where you've hinted at things you should keep them off the net/forums. I don't see any point in hinting that one might know more than is being revealed by individuals involved but that being privy to such information prevents it from being divulged.
In this instance though you copy and pasted directly from a blog which was out there for anyone to read, and my only gripe was that it wasn't linked so that others could go and read all of it rather than the part of the sentence you felt worthy of copying and pasting.
Where was the rock dry?

Whatever dude. :yawn: Yes i was a very naughty boy for not quoting the full original source, :spank: Not sure i will sleep tonight. There, happy now?
It was you that forced my hand into saying it went deeper, i was just quoting what i thought might make it clear that the video was a bit petty. You not leaving it alone forced the rest of the issue. Now please, just leave it. Lets just let it all fade away into the giant whole that is the internet.
-
It was you that forced my hand into saying it went deeper,
I forced nothing other than asking that you cite the source of your quote, I didn't ask about the other information you seemed to be forming your opinion around, read the first sentence of this again (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289718.html#msg289718).
Timeline...
0. You selectively quoted from Chris Webb Parsons blog. (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289710.html#msg289710)
1. I clarified your source for quotes/b] with links and greater context. (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289718.html#msg289718)
2. Of your own volition you cited "friend in Oz who is good friends" as providing more information than Chris Webb Parsons has chosen to put into the public domain (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289720.html#msg289720).
3. I'm surprised that you had hit the exact text used in the blog from speaking to "friend in Oz who is good friends" (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289722.html#msg289722)
4. You then state that you thought it was clear it came from a blog post and not from your "friend in Oz who is good friends" (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289723.html#msg289723)*
Taking point 2, quite how you think I forced you into saying this I don't know, all I did was link and quote the full blog post which when read suggests that the video is considered to be petty which is not how your post reads despite your assertion...
i was just quoting what i thought might make it clear that the video was a bit petty.
...because you originally wrote....
Reasonable? Doesn't sound that reasonable. I can imagine off the internet he was probably less so.
lthough I was personally hurt by some of the video. I found part of the video to be disrespectful and I know I would never try to do that to someone even if I did not like the person.
These two seem to contradict each other as in the original you are directly insinuating by...
a) selectively quoting from the blog
b) asserting that he's not being that reasonable
c) your own caveat about off the internet
...that Chris Webb Parsons is not taking it as lightly as his full blogpost suggests. This is why I linked to the full thing, because reading it in full suggests that he's either a) not that bothered and thinks its petty (contrary to what you are insinuating) or b) not willing to make an issue of things on the internet. Either way I felt that the above selective quote you made was mis-representative of the public side Chris Webb Parsons wished to portray over the issue.
You not leaving it alone forced the rest of the issue.
Again I did not force anything other than asking that you cite the source of your quotes (particularly if you are only going to selectively quote it).
Now please, just leave it. Lets just let it all fade away into the giant whole that is the internet.
You have a bit of a history of hinting/suggesting at details of ascents/goings on from those you are in contact with but not supposed to reveal details of. By your own admission you've been admonished for doing this in the past (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4073.msg289720.html#msg289720) (and whilst I've had the time and inclination to write this I don't have either to go and dig up the threads to reference here, but since you admit this is something that has happened in the past there is at least one point on which we agree).
Oh right, so you take some post on a blog to be the true thinking?
I'm interested in the information that individuals choose to put on their blogs themselves and not gossip from friends of friends (which I can not hope to verify, so it holds less weight than what individuals write on their blogs). If Chris Webb Parsons didn't want to make an issue of it on the internet (as his full blog post suggests) you shouldn't be hinting that what he has written on his blog isn't the whole truth because perhaps he wishes to keep his private life private.
If you don't wish to add fuel to a fire/start unfounded rumours/betray the trust people place in you then I'd politely suggest you are more circumspect in what you post and not conflate what you have been told in private with what individuals have put in the public domain themselves.
Invariably when such issues arise and you are taken to task you break out the :yawn: and say lets drop it (I've a vague recollection of you and Sloper having a spat a while back) yet you keep on making the same mistakes. To try and say your hand was forced, particularly in this instance, is nonsense. No one is forced to post anything on the internet and I certainly didn't push you to reveal why you had insinuated that Chris was upset, what I did was clarify his publicly stated stance because you had failed to do so. When people do post and quote then the post should include a link to the source of the quote, its exceptionally simple to do and is a common courtesy to those who you are quoting so that they are not misconstrued.

Oh and by the way Neil, yes, am bored and had time to read through your post. I never said the text that i posted in italics was what i heard from a friend. (The stuff i heard from a friend was separate to this) (I assumed this was obvious from my post, obviously not) It should also have been obvious it was from his blog because of the italics.

Anyway, the grades are out in Switzerland of all places? Whatever next :wank:.

I'm sure its been said before but it aint about the grade.

Yes and it's not as if CWP is some sort of punter with no history of hard ascents who's claimed a ridiculous grade (in which case a public takedown would possibly be justified and/or amusing).
Any one want to post the SoC Atlantic Bridge vid again.
Not looked at QBV for a while due to work restricting access to vids. Looks like I haven't missed much.

Fair Head Bloddering (http://vimeo.com/18627033)

Now that's what I call a quality bouldering video, Fair Head looks ace except for the landings!
-
Its an awesome place to climb alright. And a lot of the landings really aren't that bad, you can try pretty much everything with 3 or 4 pads and a spotter. The new print bouldering guide to Ireland will be out soon as well, so theres going to be a lot more info out there :)
-
Now that's what I call quality dancing. Brilliant video that is.

Did you use the toehook ru?

It fits me perfectly and I still thought it was easier than without. Saying that I only played on it for half an hour. Good effort Mina!

What's going on with the purple problem? It looked like cool climbing until he stood onto the opposite wall :shrug:
-
That's just where it finishes. It is hard to explain because of the way they've filmed it, but the problem is on a boulder that sits on top of another boulder, basically if you don't "turn right" to the side wall you are instantly over Death Drop 2000. The holds also lead you here. It is a very good problem at around 7b+/c, V10 seems to span a large range there!
-
Sorry the sarcasm was lost in my last post. I knew how it climb but it just looked a little bit of an anti-climax stepping off, although a Death Drop 2000 would make me step off too!

Cool stuff. I wonder how one works out all the combinations of 360 spins, toehooks, horizontal gastons and feet first shenanigans in such roof climbing....

seconded,
seems like it was put together from a distinct lack of footage.
It can he a right faff to achieve anything decent so most of the time I dont even bother...
It may well give a very nice reflection of their day out so if that is the case I have no qualms.
-
if you're going to animate a series of stills, maybe use a tripod?

It's a friends video, I just though it was quite nice.

Nice work as always Neil. Does Katioushka (http://bleau.info/beorlots/10015.html) climb as well as it looks? Have been meaning to look at this since the new 7+8 came out with that lovely photo of it in.
Looking forward to the hidden gems vid, I try and visit a couple of new spots every trip, but it's getting pretty tricky after 10+ years.
-
Katioushka is a real good problem, its a little short, but climbs realy well, very tech for such a short problem, def go do it, but dont park were it tells you, there is a different parking just up the road meaning that the boulder is only a 2 minute walk ;)
-
Are you being cunningly obtuse? Or is the forestry road open now?
Just looked at satellite pics - are you talking about the parking just beyond the Autoroute services?
-
copy this tp google maps, this is were you park for the main area 48.365374,2.578912 its 200 meters to the boulders
and this is were to park for katioushka 48.378202,2.563848

brilliant, thanks!

[quick rant] Can I just say that with all the new use of DLSR HD video can people please focus on things properly. I know that it's very trendy to be out of focus and then sharp or mess with the depth of field but can we use it sparingly as it's as annoying as watching people drive to the crag. [/quick rant]

BD athlete Nalle Hukkataival bouldering in Fontainebleau, France (http://vimeo.com/25477821)
-
Font is just a training venue? :jaw: and to think i train for trips there, obviously where I've been going wrong!
-
so typical of Nalle: you struggle on a 7a+ and then you crush one of the most coveted 8a+ in the world.
it's called being world class.
-
Or just typical of Font?
-
I don't know, I have struggled on many 7a+'s but still I am waiting for 8a+ crushfests...
-
No double entorse either! Hession told me impasse du hazard was something like the easiest problem of its grade in the forest. I didn't find it so! This video just made me feel 10000% better about myself in a very small way.

BD athlete Chris Schulte bouldering in Fontainebleau (http://vimeo.com/22630089)

There are quite a few Chris Shulte videos on the BD account and they tend to take that approach of showing the work put into doing problems rather than the final polished ascent (or flash by wads).

Alizée Dufraisse: Just My Style (http://vimeo.com/21811424)

Let me tell you a story.
One New Year's Eve, returning home from a party with friends well into the small hours, I set about making some food/drink. One of my (intoxicated) mates started to watch a film while he was waiting (actually a 70s disaster movie about earthquake devastation in San Francisco starring Victoria Principal). When I came into the room I asked him what the film was about. His answer?
It's about Victoria Principal's tits
I said no, come on, what's it about really? His answer?
No it is really. I've been watching it!
I could see crashing buildings, burst pipes, panic and Victoria Principal running around in tight clothing. I guess he was at some fundamental level quite right.
BTW, I think you posted on the wrong thread Slackers.

Medonnet is a really nice spot near Sallanches (down valley from Chamonix). Reminicent of Font, but granite. Not loads there, but worth a visit...
-
so it was your chalk plastered all over the boulders today :), did you do the traverse cause there was no chalk along the lip,
I did this today in the rain, such a cool line, I didnt do the traverse left as it was a bit wet :(
-
No, didn't do the traverse bit. Didn't have a topo, just a vague description of how to get there off UKC. Yes, lots of chalk required - v humid.

Dont know if this is quality, as I cant seem to use my new DSLR properly, any help would be great, but a bit of july in the forest
July Dose of Font 2011 (http://www.vimeo.com/27084845)
-
Quality looks OK to me most of the time Neil. Focus is maybe not pin sharp on that respect d'intentions (?) prob and some times you look to be struggling with really contrasty lighting, but that's always going to be tricky to deal with.
-
Thanks, respect was the first problem I filmed with it and yes I agree, it's so hard to get the light right especially in the forest, I have been watching a lot of tutorials, and Paul has been a great help with the settings, finally getting some good footage out, I am struggling with over exposing when I follow people
-

I quite liked the moody contrasty look - I think this (greater depth of colours?) is what makes DSLR video stand out from sometimes flat looking regular footage... Some shots looked a bit bleached out but thats hard when everything gets a bit grey with the Font rock/sand etc..
A couple of the shots did look out of focus - though two ideas here.... firstly, if you had less depth of field it would not be so obvious (as everything in these shots was kind of in focus) so the area of interest would be sharp(er) and thus highlighted compared to the rest of the shot.. second, on my SLR it can be a bastard to get the focus right for vid, so if its a static shot I use the AF in photo mode to get the focus then flick the tab over to manual focus etc. and dont touch the lens.
-
For focussing and exposure I have a white tea towel with a check pattern made of fine blue lines. I drape the tea towel over the top out (usually where the light is brightest) or use my brush-on-a-stick to hold it against the rock. If I can get the towel to look OK then skin (and chalked skin) usually look OK. It's hard to compensate for bald head glare.
A lot of the time I can't seem to get it right, so just knock the exposure down "a bit" and correct gamma/brightness/contrast/colour on the computer
Have you got zebra stripes on your camera? That helps me loads.

i take it back. are the other areas still sensitive? either that or mike's sold his soul
-
ure not supposed to promote bouldering around here are u?
yes....Granted that´s not the purpose of the thread but there are some areas of the world with great potential that are still somewhat unknown in other parts of the world. My intent isn´t to "promote" Brasil....or to "promote Brasilian boulderers" of which there are many very strong ones......but.....how can it be a bad thing to make my focus on this thread bouldering areas in Brasil if the videos actually have something catchy about them eg great problem, good vibe, good scenery, something witty or amusing. There´s a lot of bad video´s out there as well and i´m not posting those. The ones I´ve chosen have been selected because they show something. Maybe if people watch and enjoy, they may consider visiting this country at some stage when they are considering their next holiday......If so, I´de be all too happy to advise and support should they wish........and that includes you too dense loner ;D
-
mandando, i'm not sure what u mean? i was referring to the video of anston stones not the videos of brasil, which do look good. plus i also watched "reach" this morning which has a good section on your turf
-
sorry dense......mis-interpreted your statement because it came after my Brasil posts and didn´t see Mike´s video above. Only saw afterwards then couldn´t change my entry :oops:
I take it back....except the bit about people being welcome to contact me if anyone ever fancies visiting Brasil :-)
In the meantime will keep posting brasil videos as i find them if thet´s ok with everyone.

Old King Cascade, 7B+ (http://vimeo.com/28205808)
Nice one - since the new guide I'm well keen for a look at that once temps drop a bit. Must admit 7b+ is a touch optimistic gradewise for me but as long as there's slopers and heel-hooking I reckon I'll be in with a chance.
Just to check - that move out to the nose isn't excessively lank-dependant is it?
-
With a bit of lank, the move out to the notch on the nose is much easier - the way dave does it at the end of the vid. But the beta I used should work for everyone else. Have fun!

Nice one, cheers - will be getting to it once JB makes that call...

Slight tangent, but on this front I read a comment on one of his blog posts (or perhaps under one of the videos, anyway can't find it now, may well have been removed) that the areas around Cape Town that Paul Robinson had been to recently had sensitive access issues (which he'd apparently ignored).

michele is italian.
i guess the problem with what having what appears to be a world class bouldering area is that people will want to go there.
Fine Line looks interesting.

Still loads of other bouldering to do around capetown which is unrestricted though.
Yeah, Rocklands is world class, but point I was trying to make is that there are loads of other world class climbing spots in SA; bouldering, sport, trad bid walls, which seem to get overlooked.

Spent 4 weeks or so in SA about 15 years ago and I (along with most of the people I was with) thought Rocklands was the worst place we went to! So much so that I didn't bother climbing one day and spent another doing some routes there. It isn't shit it is just everywhere else is soooo much better.

To be fair, a lot has been developed at Rocklands in the last 10 years and when I was there last year, I thought the poorest areas were those that were originally developed (e.g. Roadside). The thing with Rocklands is that there's just not the concentration of quality problems that you get elsewhere (hence seeing the same ones over and over on videos). But there are definitely some fully amazing world-class problems there. If I went back to SA though (which, as a place, I really liked), I'd definitely want to get on the trad...

I'd echo this too. We went to SA on our honeymoon 4 years ago and although we had an amazing time I thought I'd been to better climbing destinations for bouldering. However that was 4 years ago......

There's a pattern forming here... didn't the same thing happen when you went to Bishop?
-

Yeah, the extremely featured nature of a lot of the rock does cut down on the quantity of quality somewhat.
Frustrating thing is that I have been to places where there is a high concentration of quality problems (some within spitting distance of Rocklands itself) but they seems to be overshadowed by the self perpetuating hype about Rocklands.

I'd say the problems are world class, and have been to Hueco/Bishop/Font/Switzerland etc over the last 10 yrs so have a lot to compare it to. The place and the general atmosphere have to be taken into consideration too. I loved it and would go back if I'd run out of new places to visit.

Nah, I did Controle A same as that lanky bastard above. 'Cept my tiny arms slid off the top about fifteen times first - topping out is the crux and no mistake.
The knee-pad-scum cheating beta was on Dosage to the right... though it didn't get me up it. Maybe bigger guns are the answer?

Those videos of Staffordshire are great! I love the Stone Donkey video, genius.
They are good, but (mean spirited rant approaching)
Who needs ready brek? in that style is not E4, it's 7C - hes got at least three mats!
the latest vid (http://vimeo.com/30679890) - all these problems, as I understand it, are SS, and given this, none of the ascents are valid. The tetris "ascent" is laughable. The climber's obviously done them before, and doesn't look like he's even near his limit, so why not do them properly? Obviously I don't give a fuck what you do if you're happy with it, just don't stick it up on the web as Tetris!
SS means the last thing to leave the ground is your arse.
/rant
and exhale.
-
Good rant. I've seen a few people 'sit' start the likes of Tetris...
-
The rant did indeed seem a bit mean spirited. These routes are all in guidebooks so if people want the information on what constitutes the kosher tick it's there for them to follow, however if people aren't too interested in whether or not you need to perform a sit start in a specific way all the time then they will probably carry on doing this regardless of how it's done in the video. To me it just looked like a good quality video that someone's put a bit of time and effort into that's got me quite psyched to try thud (from the approved start of course). :P
-
Duma, your attitude highlights everything that is wrong with climbing and human relations in general. End of argument.

Duma your attitude highlights everything that is wrong with climbing. End of argument.
Steady on now, what you having a go at 'climbing' for, there's nowt wrong with climbing, climbing's bloody fantastic, you can leave chimps and urangutans out of it too.
There's definitely some cheeky 'French starting' going on in that vid though. :P
-
dont know much about these problems (other than tertris)
agree tetris is a bit sloppy
thud, unless your supposed to start matched on the undercut what he did seems pretty valid, his arms would have to be a foot longer to SS in that position
turbo, i for one would start just like he did, and i bet most people would do too, starting sitting and pulling on footless to throw your heel up, i mean really climbing supposed to be fun, applying a little common sense rather than a strict set of rules is the way i look at it, but each to their own

Jungle V.I.P - Font 8a - Lakeside Boulders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFXYZAd4EiM#)
-
The only trouble with putting videos out on the public domain is that some people use beta gleaned from them as the gospel, and don't bother checking with the guidebook, or thinking for themselves. This then leads to perpetuation of incorrect information, grade discrepancies and confusion.
Other than that, it's not really that important.
-
I agree with Duma. Problems start and finish in defined places. If you climb for fun, and want to start or finish somewhere else that's fine, but you won't have done the problem. On relatively long and non cruxy problems like Tetris, starting a few moves in can have a significant effect on the difficulty, and on Thud, the difference in difficulty between running and kicking off the floor to get the toe hook up versus pulling on before inverting (regardless of whether you can reach the dish from sitting) should be obvious. If these details are regarded as mean spirited knit picking, then I wish I'd saved myself a few sessions on Staminaband by stepping off at the two finger pocket. It's only two extra moves to the end after all.
-
Yes, but those who are bothered by the details can be proud/happy/content (or even smug) in knowing that you did it "the right way" and others didn't.
To stem the problem SA Chris highlights, perhaps leave a comment on the video's page itself so that others who view it just might read that it doesn't represent the correct sequence. Beyond that not much else that can be done (as I'd imagine its already "bleedin' obvious" that if we saw people trying problems with incorrect sequences at the crag we'd helpfully point it out to them).
No point losing sleep over it.

Jungle V.I.P - Font 8a - Lakeside Boulders (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PFXYZAd4EiM#)
For those of you that know Mikey C who's doing the FA of this problem in the video, unfortunately he was admitted to hospital last week having had a stroke. Saw him on Wednesday and he is doing OK but will have to have some sort of op to put things right. All fingers are crossed that he makes a good recovery and we see him putting up more insane problems such as Jungle V.I.P. in the future.
-
on Thud, the difference in difficulty between running and kicking off the floor to get the toe hook up versus pulling on before inverting (regardless of whether you can reach the dish from sitting) should be obvious.
I'm sure the difference is obvious, although I believe that Duma said Thud was a SS, which it clearly isn't, hence my comment.
Still i find you idea of pulling on before kicking the toe hook on a bit abitrary, many problems start like this and often its a hard move to kick the foot on.
should the next guidebook describe it as: start crouched with dish and undercut, pulling off the ground before swinging right foot to toehook is obligitary. ?
personally i'd rather see it downgraded (if its really that much easier) than have silly rules applied. moves look fun.
-
Of course it's arbitrary. The entire activity of bouldering is arbitrary. That's my point; where problems start and finish, and how they are ascended in bouldering are all arbitrarily decided, and because of this, small differences take on more importance than is natural. As for whether you should pull on before swinging your foot up on Thud is a silly rule or not I would see it as similar to the difference between jump starting a problem or not. Do you think it's legit to jump start any problem? Re. the guide description, it doesn't say it's a sit start, but does say to start with your feet on the back wall. Of course, how you start Thud was only part of what I said. How do you feel about the rest of it?

Crikey, I'm shocked to hear this Grant! Please wish him all the best from me when you next see him and I hope he'll be out and about again soon.

-
Totally agree with Duma here, the description in the first vertebrate peak district guide states 'start from the perfect scallop and the undercut under the roof, with your feet on the back wall.' I along with many others i assume have no problem with him starting the problem where he does (or tetris with assistance from the floor for 2 moves) but he shouldn't claim these as a full ascent as it may change the views of people on where the proper start is. Despite this I very much enjoyed the video which was well put together and clearly the guy is a blooming good boulderer!
-
Jeez, you guys need to stop hating on the geez.

All fingers are crossed that he makes a good recovery and we see him putting up more insane problems such as Jungle V.I.P. in the future.
Crikey, I'm shocked to hear this Grant! Please wish him all the best from me when you next see him and I hope he'll be out and about again soon.
Barney C.
No worries Barney. Taken us all a bit bu surprise, hope to get down and see him (he's in Derriford) some point this week. Will pass on your regards. Cheers G.

Awful news about that Mikey lad, Hope he makes a full recovery.

@Duma
Dude I first did ready brek 18 years ago before the advent of boulderig mats so to do it with mats is just some fun! Also thud starts like that because me and Paul both did it the same day apothem years ago. He got the first accent tho!
Great problems :) :great:
-
Justin - re ready brek there was no intention to imply anything negative about your ascent, it's just that the caption E4 seemed odd given the style, if I ever get up it it'll certainly involve a couple of mats. I stand corrected on thud, I was just going off the guide saying "start with feet on back wall"
Great problems indeed :great:
-
Yeah, the guide is wrong with what it says about Thud, it starts with a kick at that grade. Tetris start, pah, where Pete starts from makes no difference whatsoever. I'd be intersted on Ru's take of this. I wonder where he sit started turbo from? From a mat or two perhaps....
-

Nice. I'm gonna get on ZY this Winter. Looks awesome.
And yes, JB called the Grit a few days ago.

I actually started Thud, when I first did it, matched on the undercuts. I thought they'd snap if everyone started like that, so described it from the dish which is where I was told it was originally done from (although I was also told that Paul Higginson had done it from the undercuts aswell).
Turbo, I started matched on the lowest part of the ledge. I probably sat on a mat. My method was completely different. I put my left toe straight on the nubbin that you use on the normal Inertia Reel, shuffled my hands leftwards a bit, rocked up leftwards into the left hand undercut, then did a hard standup/mantel. There's a photo of my original sequence in the last (not latest) Roaches guide. I thought/still think it's a hard move that way.

Dave Graham and The Bouldering Island (http://vimeo.com/30020749)
-
to me DG had a little bit disappeared from the main scene, but this video reminded to me that he is one of the few who truly knows his shit.
a beautiful characther and personality emerge from the vid, and also some nice anger.
-
I like where DG is coming from - he's much more in tune with the anarchic spirit of climbing years ago. Just passion for the sport, wherever it leads. Interesting guy to listen to, someone with ideas and articulate enough to make them entertaining.
-
Good to see him still operating at the top end with that new 8c too
-
There's a really good interview with Dave at udini:

Well worth a look, if only for the discussion he has half-way through with the interviewer about "7c climbers", who are viewed with some bewilderment: a mixture of compassion and frustration at their inexplicable crapness. At one point, Dave claims that he's not any stronger than a 7c climber, just better at moving. I somehow feel a career in coaching does not await!
-
I love DG & the way he looks at climbing & life in general. I would love to sit in a pub with him & big Fred.
-
great interview really.
the man is becoming my hero.

Christ, is he on something?! I can hardly keep up with what he's saying. Mind you, not all of it makes a whole lot of sense, but better than some of the anodyne waffle we hear from others.

Interviewer
What is the crux of Realization?
Dave Graham
7b+ pff! It's piss. It's like not hard, it's a 7b+ boulder. I mean come on, it's like 8c+ to a 7b+ boulder to a 7a route. With a rest. That's pathetic.
:blink:
-
I've spent a bit of time hanging out with Davey G abroad over the years and always found it entertaining. Others i was with found it a bit much at times ;D He does talk a lot of shit though and i can confirm he can't do a one arm pull up!
-
ok this is only quality because of the route, gerald messed up the render on the footage side of things :), so two days ago we hit accelerator at greau, 8 meter arete 7b bad landing, the climbing is amazing but its 7b all the way to the very top, on a rope its fine, ditch the rope and this is what you get

Thought I was bored of SA clips until this! Nice to see some footage of the geordie dark horse sending hard, off to train because of it all!! :2thumbsup:

the Rocklands video is amazing.
makes me really want to go there for the first time.
then, again it'd be pointless, I'd miss the company.
thanks.

Bit gutted we didn't get any footage of Dense. He did only stay for a miserable 3 weeks though.
-
Tomorrow... is probably the best looking bouldering vid I've seen to date. Good work chaps!! If you combined this quality of footage with more "storytelling" you'd have a real classic on your hands.
-
Real nice, great effort to all involved. You could film a slug with those cameras and it would be captivating but glad its climbing. Got me looking forward to the full thing!
-
Got me looking forward to the full thing!
Um.. it is the full thing isn't it?

You can't have too much Varian....
-
Amazing video, looks so slick and the climbing is very very motivating. I thought Micky Page was strong but changing you shoes whilst on holds that small is something else (3.12 on)
all joking apart one of the best films I'v seen in years. Makes Pure look like a youtube video
-
The lack of story telling didnt detract from it for me because it was done well. I know how much most climbers hate being interviewed.especially when they re on holiday. I also struggle to sit through all the rocklands vids but this was easy peasy in one sitting.keep up the good work!
-
I liked it. Was really well shot, especially in some blatantly challenging lighting. Good to see grads used for video. Good smooth pans etc without it drawing attention to itself. Sat through it virtually in a oner, which is good going considering I was bored 5 minutes into Between The Trees.
I thought it could have done with some story/talking/narrative though. And maybe some more ambient noise, something lacking for the most part. I always find it strangely distracting when you've got music, someone climbing, but no climbing noises. Can make the action seem detatched (http:bloc did this too). That bit of mickey on the second 8b+ came alive for me because it had climbing noises.

Nice to see some footage of the geordie dark horse sending hard,
How dare you! There were no Geordies on that trip.
Video's OK but the tortoises are a bit small.
-
Story == driving to the crag? :chair:
I tend to think the same. If you're filming some great character, or there really is a story to tell, or you capture some nice moments then including that sort of stuff would improve the film, but to be honest I can do without the driving to the crag or the "I like bouldering because of the freedom and craic with my mates" type interviews. I enjoyed the lack of any of that in this film.
-
Unless there is some genuinely funny banter, fuck the story, get on with the bearing down.
-
I'm not so much bothered about any characters coming through, I do enjoy it when you get a feel of the trip though a la west coast gimps. Personal battles are always a winner too, rich Patterson in stone love for example

-

I watched it last night. Great fun, although I did note that, unlike in the all-too-brief footage of Mina Leslie-Wowsohot, we did not get any lingering closeups of the boys' bottoms during topouts. Somebody should organise a symposium about it.
-
dosage 5 struck the best balance for me between crag crack and bearing down, if I had to go one way or the other though I'd do what these guys have done good job folks :thumbsup:

I did, but i wish i didnt.
Did it stir up a few latent emotions? A few deep seated doubts and smothered feelings? :-*
-
Dave Graham lecture at the Works was the most inspiring thing I've seen climbing related. Highly entertaining and a good message about having a positive and active attitude to life itself can reap such rewards in one's climbing experiences. Some day I'll manage to act that out too....

Tomorrow I Will Be Gone (http://vimeo.com/31326082)
I thought this vid was fucking brilliant. Great camera work, really great camera. The late evening light shots were spot on, loved that solar warmth on the distant crag. And Messer Whittaker is always a pleasure to watch climb--Mrs. Whittaker has to be thrilled with those biceps! No posing Frenchies or Americans, and yes I am an American. I am absolutely sick of people taking themselves so seriously.
No fucking bullshit, just good climbing. And a flair for capturing the moment on film.
Go on!
-
Tomorrow I Will Be Gone is a quality watch...
For me it's serving a taster for the main event which I am really looking forward to.
A little more chat would have been appreciated, but seems this will be the case for Life on Hold...
-
I get the feeling this was a bit of filming Nick B did while he was on a holiday, and spent more of his time getting on with some climbing. Can you blame him??
Also keen for LOH.

Anyone else wince and look at their tips at 5.35?

Wow.
I like how he seems to have to try just as hard on everything, 7A / 7B+ / 8A+ all look the same. It's the combination of a positive bouncy style of climbing and being an absolute monster.

Good work Neil, you got a bit of a (somewhat undeserved) pasting over on bleau.info recently didn't you? I suppose the mates vid didn't set a great precedent but some folk did seem to get rather over the top! Anyway good response in this vid.
That last shot of Fantasia is lovely, almost super8 type feel.

Big question is, is how soon is "coming soon"? :w00t:
-
Great stuff.
Can I 'critique' the Life on Hold clip? Presuming it's still a work in progress and such a thing is not unwelcome.
The cuts are a bit jumpy.
The footage is great and really drew me in. The music is perfect for the footage. But every time there was a cut it took me out of it for a moment. I think when you have such good content as this the simplicity is a good way to go?
Just a nopinion.

The edits didn't seem that jumpy to me, i'm no expert on these things though.
What i did notice was the higher camera angle is noticeably darker, maybe a quick tweak of the levels will sort that no bother.
Great clip, psyched to see the whole thing.

we will be showing a 30 min edit at Shaff, and the first full premier at the works on the 25th of march, then around the country.
DVD and digital download should be available at the same time.

For what it's worth I enjoyed them both.
Debating whether or not any video is 'quality' or not is very difficult nowadays with the advent of affordable HD cameras. I think the trouble is that the 'non-quality' title of the thread is misleading and is (I assume) a hangover from vhs cam footage. Maybe a 'professional' and 'non-professional' vids title would be better? Although often one doesn't imply greater quality than the other.

I think they are neither quality or not quality but merely somewhere in-between.
It is getting noticeably harder and harder nowadays to make a vid that stands out. Not just to do with the HD thing but lots of people are making lots of really good vids. I thought these two were good and watched them all the way through, but there was nothing in them that made them stand out to me.
You don't need flying camera helicopter things to make it standout. Rocklands showed that sometimes loads of cool climbing is enough to make a great film and the vid of Paul Pritchard and Dawes shows sometimes it's just about the personalities. It's getting that balance right ( along with decent filming and editing ) that makes a film really watchable. If you get that right ( and i've no idea how ) then you're onto a winner,.

Climb Me (http://vimeo.com/31340082)

agree with ferret. self indulgent, severe 4as, bum shots, climbing in the dark, driving to he bloody crag. how does this constitute quality?
if you want to make a video for your mates, that is fine, just don't big it up.
-
It was a good for your mates video. It felt like there was stuff in it which didn't make sense to anyone who isn't them. There's a lady who gets a name check but doesn't actually do any climbing in the wet climbing on limestone film. Be under no illusions, it's not promotion these films need - its content.
Don't stop trying, but show some people who aren't your mates first. Pm me and I'll tell you what I think.
-
its content.
agreed you need lots of climbing with less bum shots. don't pm dobbin, its a sure fire grooming strategy

Don't stop trying, but show some people who aren't your mates first. Pm me and I'll tell you what I think.

Every time I watch stuff from Bishop I can't help wondering what the down climbs are like. I would hope there's a nice ladder round the back of each boulder.
Crumbly V7 :ohmy:
-
The best thing to do there is to climb the easiest line on a boulder first to make sure you can downclimb it. On most there's a way down that's V0 max. I haven't even been up the downclimb on the boulder which the Big Easy is on, it's massivead a bit crumbly...

ambrosia looking to easy
Fucking astonishing. First vid I've seen that really gives an impression of how massive Ambrosia is. And 2 pads/1spotter! The guy that turns up stage left at 3:27 could at least have tossed his pad onto the (meager) pile! (though I'd probably have just stood and gawped too!)
Also, This Side of Paradise may now be my favourite problem in the world.

He's 'just' done the sit-start to Agratha (http://www.planetmountain.com/english/News/shownews1.lasso?l=2&keyid=39002) that you see being attempted at 10 minutes in that video.

Lore, does your project in the roof share the same start as Michele's new 8B+, and if not, have you done it from this start? Seems the logical line to me.

hey Duma!!! it's a bit complicated but not so much: I'll try to be clear.
there are two lines straight under the roof now: Michele's 8b+ and an old 8a/+. the both share the same start on the juggy rail.
my problem avoids the juggy rail: starts lower and takes a series of holds on the right, then goes back again left to join the big jug at the end of the rail, where you are matched before getting the horrible pinch left hand.
so my line puts together a starting variation and then the easier line.
a wad's line could put together my starting variation and Michele's 8b+!!! I suggested it to him but he said "no way!!!"
if you watch a few of my videos and Michele's one, all these differences will be clear!!!
then, to finally answer your question, I have done the classic line but never tried the 8b+ seriously.

Started watching it. Turned it off after 9 mins. I'd argue that it's 15 euros for far less than 30 mins, as I didn't see any climbing in that time. Could we start a 'non quality getting to a climbing destination vids' thread?

BD athlete Nalle Hukkataival climbing in the Grampians of Australia (http://vimeo.com/36517719)
-
Groove Train looks fucking awesome! :o
-
its not right. They get amazing weather, amazing surf and amazing looking rock. damn you australia.
-
Full of fucking spiders though :thumbsdown:
Ammagamma is a great bit of rock too.
-
i do hate those horrible little fuckers, but, its a small price to pay for the surf, the sun, the rock and all the DFBWGS ::)
-
Ah, but most Grampians ‘locals’ have to live three hours away in Melbourne and there is perhaps only half as much bouldering in the Gramps as in the Peak.
-
And the beer's shit
-
Not all of it....
(http://www.beermerchants.com/Images/Products/Original/1235_633664989475469725.jpg)
(although it does have to be shipped over from the West Coast (https://www.littlecreatures.com.au/))
-
Slackers does actually have a point - Little Creatures is very nice.
-
Yeah I got bitten by a spider in the Gramps. Wound up in hospital, had to go back twice a day for a week & still having complications over a year on!
But it was worth it & so was the 3 hour drive, would love to go back some time.
-
I'd love to go back and never leave. It is a better place to live. I've been looking forward to this footage appearing. The Nathan Bancroft stuff with Dave Graham should be epic I reckon.
-
Ah, but most Grampians ‘locals’ have to live three hours away in Melbourne and there is perhaps only half as much bouldering in the Gramps as in the Peak.
Yeah, but the developed part of the Gramps is only one tiny area. Lots of potential elsewhere, though the stuff actually near Melbourne is mostly quite esoteric. There is a lifetime of bouldering there for keen explorers.
Plus the lack of recession and cheaper lifestyle (relative to income) means living over there is so much cushier than here.
-
They get amazing weather,
Are you serious? Its been fucking raining for days. Worst summer ever....... :'(
And its not cheaper anymore - Sydney and Melbourne are 7th and 8th most expensive cities to live in the world on the recent list. London and New York don't even feature in the top 10.
http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/about-town/think-sydney-is-expensive-youre-right-20120214-1t3jl.html (http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/about-town/think-sydney-is-expensive-youre-right-20120214-1t3jl.html)
The Gramps are still awesome tho ;D
-
Are you serious? Its been fucking raining for days.
Sometimes it rains for weeks here. That's why there's no trouble with drought. The price of stuff had gone up a lot when I was last there but I reckon when you factor in how much higher wages are the overall standard of living is still a lot better.
-
That article makes no mention of the average wage. If you tried to live in Australia on an English salary, you'd be scuppered. Things do cost more. Except for petrol. But my experience last year was that Australian wages were much more generous than English wages.
Weather in Melbourne is very English.
-
You got the holiday experience ;)
I can't comment on whether wages are higher or not than in England. What i can say tho is that we get taxed to fuck on just about everything and get absolutely nothing for it. We pay through the arse for healthcare, childcare/schools, pensions, public transport, random climatic events - you name it, we probably pay for it. Theres even a tax on a tax somewhere (can't remember exactly but discovered this little joy when we bought our house.)
Thankfully there's enough good stuff here to make it all worthwhile.
Anyway, this debate is for another thread - Quick somebody post a video!

Day 8 - Freak Brothers (https://vimeo.com/36782987)
-
a great problem, i'd love to do it one day
-
Does anyone know the history of this problem? Am I right in saying it was originally given 8A+? Carlo Traversi says in the Swiss Account he doesn't think it's any harder than V10. Does look classic.
-
its pretty basic (like most things in swiss). I'm sure its one of those "it's easy if you're strong..."
-
I was thinking it looks like the kind of flat crimpy line that could feel two grades easier to a new school wall rat beast than it did to some old school first ascentionist.
-
Weeks? Weeks? You desert-dwellers don't know lucky are! Months in Scotland....they should move all the crops up here. And move all the Scots down south and let them and londoners kill each other off.
-

Dobbin tried this recently. He said it was hard, but as we know he's shit on board problems with crimps

I moved from Scotland to London via Australia, I know exactly how lucky I am. :) Months of rain < weeks of rain < Sydney.

I tried it ages ago. I can also confirm that its hard and that i'm also shit on board problems with crimps
-
Paul Robinson and traversi both said 7c+ but the consensus is still 8a+ as far as I'm aware. Let's call it hard 8a then ;D
-
That looks total quality. Cannot wait to get to Swizz now!
-
Paul Robinson and traversi both said 7c+ (who both climb 8c and have no idea about grades) but the consensus is still 8a+ as far as I'm aware. Let's call it hard 8a then ;D

Tyler!

Was just watching elsewhere. Haven't seen it all, had to turn off in dismay. Ty simply destroys God Module.
-
Geek Squad! :geek:
-
Thought that south video was great, and Ty looks so effortless on God Module and the barn door.
If they're the geek squad I guess I'm a fully signed up member!
-
You definitely are Tim!! Agreed the South looks minty!
-
Best video i've seen in a long time, that rock does look simply brilliant.
-
For me, Ty is just one of those people that you watch and can't help feeling psyched. The rock looks great, sure, but he could be climbing on wye valley sandstone and I'd still get excited.
-
I can hear the patter of tiny feet......hang on for a little while longer and dense will be here soon to tell you how shit the climbing is in the southern states
-
But not as shit as Rocklands!
-
Dense is a lovely and wise man but I don't think I'd believe him in this case. That stuff looked cool and the easier problems got me really $yked.
-
The South really is that good. The rock is solid and varied, always interesting. Biggest issue is of course the weather, and one can get mighty bored waiting for it to get better. Thank god for beer! :beer2:

Ha ha, not far from the truth with a few tied up hookers thrown in for good measure
-
I had a copy of black lung and frequent flyers but lent them both to someone who got out of the country and lost them...what hurts the most is that i also lent them my copy of west coast gimps that I paid hard cash for from you all those years ago doylo....have you linked it anyway - would enjoy watching the bit in the van again....
spoke to ulysesses for the first time in 4 years over christmas - that graffiti still there???? ;)
-
No i'm not sure i can put it online, only have a image file of it. Ha dunno pal
-
thats a real shame....
about the vid and the 'etching'
hope alls well big man - take it easy..
-
I can put gimps online for ya doyle. I've got black lung somewhere on my hard drive. awesome clip
-
just checked, defo got Black lung, its an 18 minute short, mines a fairly poor quality VHS rip tho, pretty blocky. still good to watch Ben & Jerry cranking it out in the US
-
There used to be a Polish website that had many videos, defo Black Lung was there and also other rarities.
It was something like www.lezeni.pl (http://www.lezeni.pl) but now I can't find it anymore.
-
Just watched black lung again on the computer. awesome. Those were the days - stingers & S7. Whatever happened to ben taking over america with S7?
-
I think America ripped him off.

I bet he was pissed.

BAZI Skyler Weekes World Record Dyno on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/13905070)
-
Quality? Really? The guy seems like a massive douchebag
-
Yea I have to agree, I don't think quality film or dyno. I always thought the purpose of having to jump was because there was no other possibility, e.g. a jug between the start and finish holds which are only an arm span apart! Please go and try sum world class dynos sky! NOT COMPETITION!
-
Woops, I meant to post in non quality.
Out of interest, what and where are the world class dynos?
-
Ones that don't go diagonally.
-
Well they are all over the world, lots in the US no doubt. The amount of media this guy gets I have never seen him do anything that really stood out. Things such as Hale Bopp in bleau, Iberia in navalosa, sprung in sundergrund and solid air at eastby for just a few, there are many many more that I don't know of. The amount of rock thats around where sky found Kodiak, you would have thought he could find a piece blank enough to make a worthy dyno. This is just my opinion of course, personally Im always looking for dynos, its something I enjoy as does sky, clearly. But its gotta make people jump who try it after you, not have them turn up and say why didn't they use this hold in the middle! Diagonal is fine if they are good, like Souis D'air at saint germain in font, amazing dyno! My opinion
-
Maybe the 8C+ incident has put him off.
-
Yea exactly, 8c+, what a joke! And then some hillbilly turned up and did it what like 2nd go? But don't forget he used different foot holds! Rubbish they are there so use them!
-
To be fair (although it pains me) it was actually that dick on 8a.log that proposed 8C+ for the problem. Skyler Weak had said it was the hardest dyno in the world though after it took him 76 days.
-
Coming Up For Air @ Stanage
Catapult @ Kyloe
Tank project @ Wimberry
Block project @ Black Rocks
Maybe not world class difficulty, but world class quality.
-
You been back on Catapult yet Dave?
-
Yea fair enough, 76 days is a while, but its still personal as to worlds hardest. Maybe a thread of worlds hardest dynos should be started like the slab one. I can only comment on one of the dynos mentioned as I haven't done catapult or the other two. Whats this block project at black rocks? I heard about it, but never seen it. Hard? No I havnt been back on catapult E, I will once Ive healed, just had shoulder surgery No2!

i'm not interested enough to ask him on his blog. i was hoping someone here could tell me the difference

I hate to be pedantic but he starts 2 moves in. The moves he misses out aren't entirely trivial either..........contraversial
-
Nice fall at the end Neil! :2thumbsup:
Ouch!
-
I hate to be pedantic
Admit it, you love it really.
-
Not 2 moves in, just different handholds:
Conquistador Direkt, 8b/+, Chironico, Switzerland (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUpEh20zdik#) --- ss, reach off the crimps to the big slopey shelf thing.
Conquistador Direct 8b Chironico Dave MacLeod (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghqzTD1I4Xk#ws) --- ss, reach off a different crimp and gaston to the big slopey shelf thing.
I doubt he's lanked passed the start so why would you ignore a natural starting position you can reach in favour of an unnatural eliminate??
Not only that.....the so-called FA of this problem used the arete above the bulge....but Dave doesn't :devangel:
-
Nice fall at the end Neil! :2thumbsup:
Ouch!
i was actaullt sick after that, spend a good ten minutes throwing up :) I have never landed that hard, my good friend then told me I am too big to fall (bastard)

Nice one Will.
Worth mentioning that the farmer/ gamekeeper paid us a visit later in the day and asked us to spread the word for climbers to avoid Brandrith during nesting season - May and June mainly.
Strictly speaking, this is open access land under the terms of the CRoW act and to enforce this he needs to apply for a temporary restriction on access, and put signs on the access points etc (as they do on Bamford every year, and must still allow access on certain sundays and bank holidays). However he was a very nice chap, and didn't ask us to leave, just to put the word out, so its your call. He'd also prefer folk to approach from the east (park on Hall lane) and walk around the edge of the moor rather than straight across.
None of this is likely to cause problems unless every boulderer in England suddenly heads up here, so if your inspired by Will's vid maybe stick it on the list for autumn rather than all rush up next week...

Is it worth adding this to the comments section on the Vimeo page? I alwys wanted to go to Brandith, but tried the old phone number dozens of times, and as we never got an answer like good little freaks we avoided it. Looks ace.
-
Am waiting for a response from the head office at the mo, but the short version is you have every right to go whenever you want. Interestingly it is not just mapped as open access under CRoW, but common land too.
-
Scoop Dragon looks great.
Yup - nice problem (looked desperate for 6A!).. but that film is far to grim for the Qualidy vids section, Shirley?

Unfortunately wasn't the case when I lived nearby.

Be interesting to hear from someone with more local knowledge/ history, but at the mo it looks rather like back then they were claiming common land as private. Wonderful thing the CRoW act, no wonder the landowners hated it...

34 mins. Dave Graham features quite a bit and it's a Carlo Traversi film really so I didn't find it as cringe-worthy as welcome to the hood.

Great viewing that Dai Koyamada video. It was great to see some raw, unedited emotion. Makes a refreshing change from "Hey, my daddy is paying for me to travel the world and climb hard shit while I act like I'm from the South Side".
-
Even though I haven't got a clue what dai is saying I believe the things he says. When I hear Paul Robinson or Daniel Woods speak I feel like I'm chewing on a cheese grater. Dai is a total inspiration at a time when I really feel like I need some, I salute you my tiny eastern friend :bow:

Leishmaniose Upgrade (V6) - Cocalzinho Escalada on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/43754484)
Gabriel Oliveira climbs Leishmaniose Upgrade (V6/7A+) in one of the bouldering sites in the world, Cocalzinho, Brazil.
More videos in: www.pedraviva.net (http://www.pedraviva.net)

He's 5' 5''
-
He's a giant among men
-
That Dai video is one of the best climbing things I've watched in ages, so well done! On a side note I like how he appears to be wearing a Pontas and a Shaman with all the straps cut off totally covered in stealth paint!

You were sponsored by Mad Rock for many years, but have now switched to Evolv. How come?
I liked Mad Rock using it, but there were problems in delivery and I started to look for another sponsor. Then I came across the distributor of Evolv in Japan whom I knew from the past, we hit it off and decided to switch. Right now we are developing a model with my idea. I'm excited about how it'll come out.
maybe there the prototype

Install Opera and the install the Download Media Bar Extension (https://addons.opera.com/en-gb/extensions/details/download-media-bar/)
Go to the Vimeo page and make sure you are not logged in and you should now be able to download the videos (works for me with most Vimeo/YouTube things, although its the second from left of the two little buttons the extension makes appear that works most consistently).
Alternatively you could go routing around in the cache folders for your browser, as "watching" something actually downloads it to your local hard-drive.

Ian Dory's ascent of the Wheel of Life. Interesting vid - Shows the new beta for extreme cool at the start and for Dead Can't Dance at the end, avoiding the heinous gaston move. So many kneebars and scums. And at 6.30, I wonder if holding your foot is considered aid? ;)
Warning - this is the uncut ascent so features lots of resting.

That is interesting. Lots of inventive rests. Do you know if the new beta makes Dead Can't Dance much easier, or is there not much in it?
-
That looks so damn good! Is there an online topo for the cave to see how it all breaks down?
-
Looking at that sequence I wouldn't think so - I'd guess it just makes it higher percentage. The original method on DCD is weird and easily blown when you try to throw your foot up on the smear to after hitting the gaston. After all those moves, you'd want a bit of consistency!
I don't think theres any online topo - the gramps guide has the best pics.
-

Hollow Mountain Cave really is amazing. Wheel of Life is roughly 60 moves, with the hardest being the crux of Dead Can't Dance, right near the end.

fuck me that thing looks amazing, I'd so love to kick that place's back doors in, and paint it white on the way out.
Watching that I lost respect for the guy after about the eighth ten-minute shakeout, but he won my respect back after holding it together WHEN THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM ON WAS HIM HOLDING ONTO HIS OWN FUCKING FOOT!!!!1111111111!!!!!!! OMG. Ledge.
Just out of interest, is any of what he's done part of that old Cave Rave thing, the travelling V10 climber's favourite V13 from back in the day?
-
I lv this. That sequence on extreme cool makes the v9 into a v4/5. Missing out the gaston move at the end and using the ledge for your feet? Using double knee pads! Naughty.
Not my words, I've never been or climbed 9a/+ and couldn't if I wanted to
Have a nice day

No, the "at least" 7C+ is the 23 move problem in the video. The extension is longer.
the standard start; still 23 moves with the crux being the last few. After one go I reassessed my initial estimate up to at least Font 7c+.

Posted solely because there is a short shot of a gun on a table (is it real? or just a toy? we must know because it's earth-shatteringly important), which may or may not send the staunchly miserably Brits into daily mail-esque spasms of offense at the very idea anyone might be having a bit of a laugh playing around with pseudo-gangster japes.
Oh it also features some world-class boulderers doing world-class bouldering, but hey when there's americans pretending they're from the hood, no-one cares about the climbing right...

Damn, I was just editing a driving to the crag time lapse, instagram stylee with tilt shit shift... ;)
-
It's beautifully artificial, or artificially beautiful.
The climber seems a proper beast.
-
I think there's a time and place for each different type of filming. I didn't have any problem with te time lapse, the scenery or such. I think having the whole thing be off color was a bit too much. For certain scenes, sure it's fine, but there's a time and a place to use it. It felt like too much of a dream, and not enough reality..
I find that for introductions to crags/areas you've never been to or seen, the driving and time lapse give a sense of that area to make it somehow more relatable, which I like.
-
Don't get me wrong, there's nowt wrong with the odd timelapse, they're nowhere near as objectionable as the out-of-date-polaroid colours. Its just they seem to be becoming a bit trite/cliched at the minute, and for me the novelty of seeing one was long since worn off, especially when it seems like half of the videos you see now have a timelapse before every scene.

I suspect its the nature of the beast... in bouldering there is generally a couple of hours of ferk all for a couple of mins of action - so its a good way of trying to convey all that. Personally I like making time lapses when there are things moving in the scenery - like clouds rushing by, or sheep wandering randomly around in the field. Then there seems to be some sort of artistic (take with a pinch of salt with my shitty films!) merit in using them...
-
They can make fantastic intros/segues but every man and his dog are using them nowadays. Dave's after a new angle. I'm thinking of using "driving back from the crag to the pub" footage in my next short. No-one's done that before.

8) Heli-cam shots are also becoming too mainstream now.. How about starting underground and the camera emerging from below...
-
if people were really "creative" they'd learn to paraglide and film swooping silent flypasts from the air. But since I've just thought of it, its already unoriginal and old hat.

NBT will be nanobots with HD quality cameras placed at critical points on the problem. Mark my words.

NBT will be memory copies so that you can actually experience the send just like the actual sender. No more need for climbing at all. Just sit on the couch and "recall"...

Nice, but the repetitive narration gets irritating very fast.
-
Personally, I really enjoy the slick the LT11 films. That Swissy one is still one I'd watch again. Despite still using the old "show a couple of attempts then put the problem name and grade up so you know it's going to get sent" trick, the little things like the turny circle next to each bit of text and the generally very slick editing I like. I also like the fact that everything they put out is free.
I thought the commentary on this helped show that these guys don't actually take themselves too seriously!?

I'm appreciative that it's free and the editing is indeed swanky but there's something 'samey' about their videos that I can't quite put my finger on and the movies feel forgettable, or possibly i'm just jealous or their multiple skills :alien:

Quite liked this one. Stuff about access and the local town was interesting too. Far too often these kind of bouldering videos feign some passing interest in the local flora, fauna and culture. Absolute bullshit for the most part: cue some clip of a poor looking kid, or a wrinkly old man, followed by an arty shot of a flower, then back to the bouldering pr0n. I'd rather people not try to pretend they give a shit unless they really put the effort into getting some good shots and communicating some worthwhile information.

Sonnie Trotter: A Highball Honeymoon in Bishop on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/50567281)
-
Disclaimer: I watched it at work, so with the sound off.
I barely made through the first two and half minutes without a single bouldering shot, but with: driving to the crag, close in on roadsigns, life in the van, the same fucking coffe that every fucking climber drinks, the usual night time timelapse, yoga, walking to the boulders, and a fucking wedding sequence.
Could have been worse only with a slackline sequence (no offence intended here).
Also, the climbing footage was just the usual.
Just my opinion, but I really disliked it.

None taken :P

I watched it with the sound on and I liked it, it was inspiring. Needed more coffee shots tho.

A touch off topic but does anyone know the standard ethic that these lines are approached with? Ie has ambosia been done ground up? or is it just headpointed, always wondered.....
-
Ambrosia was headpointed by Jorgeson originally (footage on Progression), and I think most repeats have been in that style, I found this blog where Honnold warned Jorg Verhoven against trying it GU because it was loose and unobvious http://blog.jorgverhoeven.com/?p=562 (http://blog.jorgverhoeven.com/?p=562)
I think quite a few of the not super highballs (Evilution, etc) have been done GU now.

Some really good problems there, with a unique style. Dawid showed me some of his and Mike's new stuff a while back - hard bouldering on overhanging slate, a nice alternative to peak limestone for fans of steepness. I'm sure it will be popular with the Nottingham/Derby crowd as it's only 30min down the road and no walk in.

Is Shades of Grey chipped/drilled?

Yes, it has drilled pockets, no idea when or why they were drilled.
Fiend, it's very different to the Joker. Fingery pocket dangling, to an easy-if-it-weren't-the-last-move slap.

That topo doesn't show the new stuff though. If anyone wants the tour, get in touch with Dawid (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?action=profile;u=2617) - I'm sure he'd be keen to show you around.
Think the traverse and arch problem should be fairly obvious, especially if you use the videos. Enchantress, just make sure you start on the right holds and don't bridge out right - Mike's video shows the beta most people will use. Bring a kneepad for this, or your thigh will be destroyed! Check out Mike's vimeo (https://vimeo.com/user7044532/) for several videos of the other new stuff. Conditions are pretty reliable apparently - Dawid and Mike have been going all summer when most of the lime was wet.
Nunckley quarry is also 10min away, so the two can be combined well.

re. Shades of Grey
Is anyone else concerned by the fact that this is a purely manufactured problem? On facebook the comments are really rather congratulationary which stikes me as odd. I see how it's a good problem to climb and have no issue with the fact it's been climbed but the fella who drilled it has even posted saying how he 'drilled it 4 years ago but couldn't touch it'.
I know it's in a quarry.I know how quarries are made. But I also had the understanding that as climbers we take on the challenges that the rock presents us and statements such a 'it was unclimbable' are poor justification for vandalism and 'problem creation'. How many problems have been deemed unclimbable in the past and are now being climbed? Is it an issue that a wall is unclimbable? Can we not just leave it at that?
Another comment suggests that the problem was a 'visionary creation'. I would suggest it was quite the opposite.
If we start applauding this behaviour where might it lead?
-
What dave said.
Watching the video i kinda assumed it was something drilled decades ago, a mistake of the 80s or something like that. What kind of dick drills problems in the 21st century? If anyone is down Leicestershire way with a bit of sika or cement you know what to do.
-
I agree. I thought it had been chipped for other purposes, being in a quarry, and then Mike climbed it.
-
After learning this was drilled only 4/5 years ago, I too share your concerns. I did put on Facebook that I thought that this was a perfect problem and for the move alone that would be true. I also put it was a visionary creation and in some sense this is also true. However I was clearly riding high after being pleased to climb the line. Learning that this was drilled recently has totally spoilt it for me. When I first saw this line I assumed it was done 30 years ago, when people were more narrow minded. It seemed okay to climb on it as it was someone's genious mistake. Learning it was done in modern times fills me with dread that the person responsible (not naming names) will do this again! This clearly can not be allowed to happen. It's a dark road to head down, wether the rock is blank or not.
I do not think this particular problem should be filled in as it's an well known local challenge (another reason I thought it was ancient). I think it is best to draw a line under it. Ensure it never happens again and move one. If people decide that this really needs the pockets filling in to make a statement, I will even offer to do it my self.
Finally let me just state that categorically I am against chipping n any way shape or form!!!
-
Well said Scouse.
-
Although not well spelled. The post should say 'congratulatory', not 'congratulationary'. Teachers today...

However I was clearly riding high after being pleased to climb the line.

Hey, not trying to be a pedant and I only mention it because I may try the problem tomorrow, but didn't you finish Jerry's traverse in the wrong place at 11:28?
-
Really good post Dolph. One of the sadest thing to me about chipping problems like this is that it takes away the sense of satisfaction you deserve for putting in the effort. We all dream of a classic first ascent and you have been robbed of this feeling; as you say you didn't know it was recently chipped, you should be pissed off. I would be. We have a finite amount of quality rock, who cares if it was originally quarried, create holds at climbing walls not on rock.
-
Whats the Facebook page 50 shades is being discussed on? Has anyone had a look at the line to the left of the drilled pockets, in the corner, on small uppercuts? Looks like it would go.... Good effort on shades of grey, had a dabble a few months back.
-
Well said Scouse.
-
Yes well said Dolph. Very responsible of you. :2thumbsup:
-
What Scouse said. The uncritical congrat I put on fb were before any mention of drilled holds, I had no idea. This sort of thing sets a bad precedent even if it's on unclimbable ground in an obscure location, one man's unclimbable and obscure may be very different to another's and these notions tend to drift once one thing is considered justifiable

Possibly refined sequence (http://www.ukclimbing.com/news/item.php?id=49630) (original 8C+ was for a huge dyno, although there still looks to be some big moves on it).
-
The sequence of Bernd in the vid looks very similar to what Nacho does (except Nacho's vid isn't through a massive fisheye lens!).
-
Yeah same holds and same dyno, slightly different sequence up to there but that bit looks 2A. I know Bernd is no punter, he obviously just cocked the grade up on that one.
-
Nacho is no man. He's a climbing cyborg from the future....

He does seem to make 8b+ look rather easy these days...

-
The Japanese seem to be especially deep as a race of climbers. Any videos I've seen of Toru, Yuji and Dai succeeding on long term goals clearly show the emotional connection they have to the climbs and how much the success means to them, especially with TSOTW for Dai. Makes a refreshing change from Americans 'just syyyyyked to crush maaaaaan'.

Personally I'm not a great fan. Think the intro was really good, genuinely interesting, but it looks like its two different full ascents to me. Maybe thats me getting it wrong but got bored after he topped out once.

If Warp made bouldering videos...
Nice to see somebody doing some non sick, rad, stoked etc. Has led me to ask myself a question I've been asking myself a lot of late though - are leaf drops and running water shot in HD the new driving to the crag shot? I'm either a terrible, miserable human being for asking myself this (probably) or are such shots really are quite as beautiful as they are and I should stop poking holes for the sake of it? Yours, confused.
The problem looks really very good (Gaskins V15?) and the venue amazing.

Overall I liked it, but was left feeling like I wasted my time. I got the "essence" but felt it lacked cohesiveness. Could have trimmed it down by about 1-2minutes and it would have been smoother and tighter to the story he was telling. Good effort though.

Leicestershire Bouldering 2012 on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/51167497)
Some really good problems there, with a unique style. Dawid showed me some of his and Mike's new stuff a while back - hard bouldering on overhanging slate, a nice alternative to peak limestone for fans of steepness. I'm sure it will be popular with the Nottingham/Derby crowd as it's only 30min down the road and no walk in.
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my home county on the front page of ukb. Then I watched the video and discovered that it appears to be made by somebody who lives in Fontainebleau and chooses to go bouldering in Leicestershire.
That is so far beyond esoteric :jaw:

The House sponsors Dawid. He lives in Sheffield.

The house don't sponsor anyone, they haven't got a pot to piss in. Sponsorship is when u get paid by a company to climb, or ure given shit loads of products to promote said company. If ure given a few bars of cereal by a company ure not sponsored, if a company give u a couple of pairs of shoes a yr ure not sponsored, what a big bag of
I bought nick brown a steak in rocklands for doing a move I didn't think he'd do, I wouldn't consider that sponsorship. If u do I want to get rid of him
-
If we all clubbed together and bought you steak Dense, how much would you need to feel sponsored? 1 steak per every successful deadhanging session?
-
I wrote quite a lengthy piece on this but fortunately for everyone else it didn't send. That's not sponsorship fiend that's what I'm saying

I don't know what deal they have. Maybe Dawid is just doing them a favour. Maybe I used the wrong terminology. Don't really see why it matters?
-
Don't see why it matters? Don't see why it matters? This is why people are ousted as liars, this is why people die, ure giving out nonsense info to the general public. What u know and what you don't know are 2 completely different things
-
Yes. This calls for a public inquiry. You phone The Mail and I'll phone The Sun. Someone should be sacked. I'm already looking forward to the docudrama.
-
Not good enough Robin, David Kelly set an example now get to it...
-
It doesn't call for any kind of inquiry at all. Uve stated something which happens to be wrong n misleading. If we worked in the media I'd be more than happy to sack u
-
No, I don't really agree with your grand ideas of sponsorship. If someone gives me a free boulder bucket and I put an ad on a video in return, it's sponsorship. I don't know what deal Dawid has, and I doubt you do either. I'd be happy to sack you too.
-
If someone gives u a boulder bucket n u put a shit 3 min video up including said bucket u think that's sponsorship? That is priceless, but also explains a lot
I've got a few t-shirts n pad off a friend who works for wild country, I had no idea I was a sponsored hero, I guess I should've known better, after all talent will out
-
If someone gives u a boulder bucket n u put a shit 3 min video up including said bucket u think that's sponsorship? That is priceless
No, it would only be priceless if you signed it.
Can I have a signed chalk bucket for Christmas please?
-
So what uve done is try to make a joke to take people's eye off the fact that ure just wrong
-
No, it was more to derail a boring disagreement that neither of us seem to be able to let go of, despite the fact that it's about as important, and probably less interesting, as whether we can both fart and burp at the same time.
-
Well you'd be the weak link there cos I can fart n burp at the same time. If someone does u a favour n u do them a favour back that's not sponsorship that's returning a favour
-
I seem to remember you were sponsored by scarpa for a whole day in font once Ken

Agreed, what a problem. Is Squamish worth the trip just for bouldering? I've heard the route climbing is amazing.
-
The guide has something like 2500 probs across the grades. I was there for 2 weeks and only bouldered for one day and whilst I enjoyed it it still felt a bit like catching tadpoles in a salmon river; bouldering with the Grand Wall looming over you. And I really love bouldering.

Seems like a daft question, but we have no decent kit shops here in Ireland and mail order without beta is bound to be a lottery.
Back on the subject of dynos. I occasionally enjoy them too, but never count them as stuff I have done at the grade unless it's one of those rock and hop type harder for lanks ones.

Prana stretch Zion are long enough for my pins and I'm a skinny 6'5". Great climbing kegs, but they have updated them recently so should check they're still the same fit.

yup, it was only ten days ago I was looking at Big Dragon thinking fuuuuck that looks nails - seemed so easy for JW I started to doubt I was looking at the right problem. Like that they downgraded all the hard stuff but had Big Jim at 7A+ ;D

I'd take 7A+ for Big Jim. The climbing isn't anywhere near that hard but it would mean it would be the equal hardest problem I've done in font... ;D

Good vid but isn't that were dai started?
dai starts with both hands down for the low one, it might not seem like much but it seemed to require lots of swapping toehooks to get established on the sit.
-
That's dais low start to the story. The story starts where dave started, obviously, but isn't this where dai started when he first did the story?
-
Sounds like it from this
Dai: The lower part moves are complex and particular. Start with right-hand(RH) undercling and left-hand(LH) sloper.

-
This should help the beta police:
http://vimeo.com/43727285
-
Yes, Dai climbed the low start after beta police told him he had done the wrong start when repeating the original version.
...But it sounds like he had the same start as Dave?
-
A nano move difference according to that vid. DG sat down and climbed it, so did Dai. Was it DG who pulled Dai up on start or some other goon? Glad to finally see that vid anyway.
-
Is 2 extra moves now a nano move? He quite obviously added the low start so he wouldn't be called out again.
-
Dai does a different top-out to Dave as well, is he going to have to go round for a third lap?
-
Looks like dave just wanted to keep climbing! The obvious top out is direct.

This seems to have wound up mattbirch (on UKC) into frothing fits of anti-young-american hatred, so I wanted to give it more promotion on here. The bouldering footage looks like it will be pretty good :2thumbsup:
-
He's said a few controversial things since he's been posting. Sounds like he's calling Robinson a liar over lucid Dreaming to me
-
Do people think that's actual Matt Birch? I think he'd be smarter than posting snarky comments on UKC.

the lucid dreaming thats on video........? :-\ :-\ :-\

Is that the actual ascent? (Not that I doubt him). Robinson did have a few doubters (I don't really see why given his track record?) and birch was trying the FA. It might be him..

Technically he's ok but he does need to work on his power more. I'd say the dearth of pads at 1,50 suggests he isn't taking safety seriously enough.

I was Mexican what are u talking about? PRobs ascent of lucid dreaming isn't on vid. He woke up at 4am after dreaming that he'd done it n went out to do it on his own. This is from his own account of things btw.
Neither did he do ill trill on vid.
Note to people watching climbing vids, when a camera zooms in to show a close up on a hold there's normally a reason for this. This doesn't mean someone hasn't done something but edits are getting better n better

Isle of Skye - Coire Lagan Bouldering on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/56216688)
Was looking forward to that but a bit underwhelming in the end - a few too many distant shots of unremarkable looking problems, we know the scenery is epic so don't need so many sweeping panoramas of it. The close ups of harder stuff were good and inspiring though.
-
"Do people think that's actual Matt Birch? I think he'd be smarter than posting snarky comments on UKC." - Stubbs
It is very definitely NOT the Matt Birch that lives in Yorkshire and climbs 8B+ - I checked with him a while back. Of course it could easily be someone else called Matt Birch, but it's a shame that whoever it is hasn't either chosen a different user name or added a profile. The other Matt Birch is in the States at the moment, but I suspect he'll be fairly unimpressed at being associated with those posts.

Sort of agree with Fiend, however, it's always a pleasure to watch The Bear climb... :wave:

I actually think your both being too kind. The long shot problems and the constant cuts to the scenery are not the biggest problems with this vid. I would say its the constant camera shaking and the low quality of most of the footage. It really shouldn't be amonst the actual quality videos on here. I made a video that was as much for Dawid and Andy as myself and summed up the trip/s up there, as well as just showing how I interpreted the Si O' problems. Whilst there we all spent loads of time just looking around at the breathtaking scenery. I have been to Scotland a few times now but even i was taken aback by it. I think it is the most beautiful place I have ever bouldered in.
-
Dolph, I noticed you put the guide grades down for SO'C's problems on the video, did you have any personal thoughts on the grades, or are you keeping them to yourself?
Looks like an amazing spot anyway, then the midge net reminded me why it isn't a popular destination!

I put the Si O' grades down more as reference. In the list I just put 8? For Extradition, Darken and It's Over. I really have no idea. They're 8 something. I am not the best at grading and my performances can vary wildly from being on form and doing several 8b's all in a day on a trip, to struggling up 7c's. I hope that I climbed really well and seemed totally at home on that rock. A point reinforced as Polish struggled to make any moves on the harder stuff and he's no slouch by a long shot! It is also hard to be objective as when I think about the grades as I get lead by the grades Si tagged them with and my own ego. On extradition i was psyched out of my mind and made the crux move from the start after only managing to do it once whilst working it. All this above one of the most serious landings I have ever climbed above. Think rolling dome leading to a sear cliff drop, it's dangerous even for the spotter (Thanks again Andy!). How can you grade something like this? There are to many things all playing a part and it seems like a while ago now, so I'd rather just not get drawn in to comment and move on to the next challenge.
As regards the midges you forgot about the ticks as well.

2nd problem boulder straight up looks like some Arete at Round Crag on the NYmoors, just a bit less great
-
El Cogul is great as a locals crag, but I wouldn't be too hasty in planning a bouldering trip there in its own right. Especially given the quality of the sport climbing it's surrounded by. That vid has (unsurprisingly) cherry picked some of the most aesthetic lines in amongst some more average lowballs.
Good for a few days as a change from the sport stuff or a long weekend flying to Lleida (and there are some great problems) but I'd stick to one of the bigger destinations for a week-long pure bouldering trip.
-
Having only been there for a couple of days I would concur - nice break from sport climbing for a day or two if you're on a long trip out there but didn't feel like a 'destination' as such.

It reminds me of the effort kids put into making a powerpoint presentation. Everything's whirling in, shooting across the screen and generally detracts from the content. It shows they have the ability to use the software, just need to calm it down a little bit. A re-edit would probably make a great video.

Shame it gets so fucking hot! I have a mate who lived in Flagstaff and said they would just mission into the nearby deserts, forest and hills and find loads of stuff. He's just moved to Albuquerque and says it's the same there.
Sounds like almost as much potential as Scotland :)
-
The southern Utah stuff did look good, for me Utah has the best bouldering of anywhere I've been in the states. However, and it is a big however, none of it compares to the guys tash on the first problem. That was fantastic, if I had dark hair or indeed any hair I would be proud to have a tash like that. Winner

I didn't really try the sit yet because it was super cold the day. I only made one quick "try" where I broke off a little foot- hold and due to freezing feet and hands I decided to call it a day.

did he give it 7c+ also? or am I thinking of something else?
-
I know that core is strong and that he has experience with these lofty grades, but that's not what I imagined font 9a to look like.

I think Laurent Avare gave the stand start Kheops 7c+ after the first ascent, you might be thinking of that.

I'm not saying it's crap, just sure as hell not quality.
I liked the scenics, built well with the music for the surplomb bit, two ultra classics of the forest and the FA of an (admittedly lowball) new prob that looks like it'd be great fun to climb with all the toehooking shenanigans, all in crisp HD showing the forest in its summer glory.
'Tis of course just a matter of taste, but "sure as hell"? It's your opinion, no more valid than mine that it was top.

Cloudsplitter on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/59125692)
This short film chronicles my struggles on a single boulder problem (v6 if you're wondering) near Telluride, CO. Unable to even start the thing a year ago, I began to slowly figure out the movement over the summer months, culminating in a send near the end of my time living in the area. For me it's become truly a classic climb since then, the kind which never gets old even after countless repeats. I've sheltered myself underneath it during a hailstorm, numerous rainstorms, and even climbed it one day in thick smoke. In fact, the eerie reddish color cast you'll see when I finally send the thing in the film was caused by the early afternoon sun refracting through a dense smokescreen, the result of raging wildfires in SW Colorado during the summer of 2012. Anyhow, enough background, hope you enjoy it!
-
was expecting Ron Kauk to do a voice over, waffling on about frogs and shit
-
Quite nice footage for boring hippy drivel though. Although less water dropping and more well-lit footage of the problem would have been good.
-
Think this film is pretty nice, and quite original. Makes a change from the usual american soliloquy about 'finding yourself' and being'in contact with nature' and 'i'm totally amazing at ....... like........ climbing'. Does anyone else find themselves saying, "please just stop talking and climb"?

A shit looking 2A traverse into a shit looking low start into a really good looking stand up problem. Is this the 8C equivalent of Carnage Assis?

There's definately scope to start half a metre further left for the 8c+ tick.

Hip hop n assis are/look like class probs. the traverse into it is dogshit. Much like iceberg n iceberg assis are class probs n iceberg raccouri is dogshit

Iceberg is the sit at the end of the shelf the other side of the roof (ie the original prob).
Iceberg Raccourci is the stand.
Iceberg Raccourci Assis is the sit at the RH end of the shelf.
There is no Iceberg assis.
Raccourci = shortcut
Assume you meant iceberg is shit and the shortcuts are good?
This confusion could be avoided if you spoke french like doylo ;)

Also bollox to adding shit additions for the sake of shitness, surely that is a UK limestone thing not Font. I reckon you gotta knock at least 2 stars off for Trip Hop.
-
Duma, meant iceberg raccouri n raccouri assis are class then. Iceberg is not to be included. For the dogshit extension start at raccouri but traverse left across lip then drop down onto shelf at left end shuffle rightwards finishing up raccouri assis. Think this bumps it up to 8a+ but could be confused. Of course I could walk 20 yards for my guide book but where's the sport in that? Instead I shall walk straight past it get in my car n go for a sauna

My understanding is that there is only one or two reasonable low, but nice, boulders blocs? Is there more than that?

My memory is a but rusty but I'm sure I did a dozen or so enjoyable probs none of which are in that vid. Some probs on a wall to a ledge too. Amazing when you see how the boulders have moved and rubbed against each other in big storms

Two days before the springtime bird protection closure –on January the 29th – I could finally send these 25 hardest moves in my life. 5 months and 40 days of work on a piece of rock in the Lindental near Bern/Switzerland that was meant to be much longer but showed off to be infernally hard.
Sophisticated climbing on perfect sandstone; big moves, tiny crimps and delicate foot work in a bloody tiring run through without any rest. 4 moves of 8B+ plus 11 moves of 8B traverse and 9 moves of 7B boulder to the top jug. I never have given so much of me into a project but on this windy day with perfect conditions and the most professional preparation I’ve ever managed it finally paid off :)

I was quite looking forward to watching this, then after 4 minutes I couldn't take any more. I can't be the only person on the planet that is sick of the soundtracks on bouldering videos. Is it insecurity, are the filmmakers scared we will get bored.
When I'm bouldering I hear a bunch of noises; what's wrong with boot scrapes, finger and hand slaps, scrapes, hard breathing, manly and girly grunts and yelps, profanity, laughing. The current trend seems to pander and aspire to a 'lifestyle' genre, I mean really wtf has some of these tunes got to do with climbing. I can't be the only person that feels like this. This might also explain why there is such an interest in the 'old school' stuff, rock athlete stuff, you can actually 'hear' someone climbing. Simply its more 'real'.
-
At least it wasn't hyped up dubstep and gangsta rap :look: But yeah, i agree in principle that music is nowadays overused in climbing vids
-
I like music over scrittle and grunting. After a quick search on iTunes there is nothing obvious in this genre, so perhaps you are in the minority group. This is no bad thing. It's simply remedied by muting and playing with a bowl of gravel. Then grunt 'til your heart's content. Cue LOB jokes...

Some music is good but all music is simply strange, what does it add? In moderation it works well. But over use, simply kills the 'real' footage. Surely the 'reality' of the bouldering should stand alone as being interesting enough.

Well you are missing my point, of which I'm sure you are aware.
-
The reality of bouldering for anyone who isn't doing it is probably quite boring. Having a lot of time and effort compressed into a short amount of time with a bit of inspiring or uplifting music must be better than watching the raw footage, warts and all.
Plus I like the idea of turning up to the garden centre for some stones for your sound effects. "Two points, ah, two flats, and a packet of gravel."
-
The quality of built-in sound recording on the average camcorder is generally very poor, and wind noise is usually unavoidable even with a light breeze unless you've got a fuzzy / windscreen (the thing that looks like a fluffy squirrel's tail). I expect most videos have soundtracks get added primarily because they'd sound really shit otherwise. And possibly because everyone thinks they have great taste in music and wants to share it with the world.

what he said, if there is any wind it'll sounds like some progressive noise mangle circa year 2058. Getting good audio from the climbing is what sets apart the quality from the bloody good quality, it's just most people cant afford shot gun/radio mics.

First problem is quite drawn out, top was really sandy. Might want to fast forward through top out!

Sorry Adam, the problems and climbing is great - but the cinematography and production is (ahem) not to the same standard... ;)

Straight talking with a gentle approach there TT. Nicely put.
Even if it was epic, you still wait for someone else to blow your trumpet... :yes:

Quality ascent, horrible video... The Klem Loskot one is better by far.

:agree: looks cool problem... But not from that angle... Can hardly see the moves or holds...
-
Comedy innuendo in description though...
-
But not from that angle... Can hardly see the moves or holds...
I hadn't really got how steep it is before though ...
-
Sure klems shows both angles... It sure is steep. But in quality vids I like to see the holds better so I can gauge how ridiculous it must be to climb....

there's more climbing in that trailer than in the actual film, it's just terrible on so many levels.
-

Agreed. I don't usually like to comment on other films because I am well aware of the flaws in mine - but this film was truly terrible.
-
I actually really enjoyed it :shrug:
There is actually a lot of climbing in the film, but it tends to just roll into itself I think and doesnt put many names and grades up.
But I dont think that was the point of the film.
The Network really focusses on Killian Fischuber and a few other people around the world, outlining the process of adding new first ascents (Graham and Hukkataival), talking about why some people do well in worldcups and not outside (Sharafutdinov) and vice versa (Woods/Robinson).
It is more of a 'personality' film than a climbing film I think, and I am sure that will put some people off of it. But I thought it was interesting to watch, in the same way that my favourite part of Progression was the section on Jumbo Love where Sharma was struggling with the pressure.
Each to their own I guess but I think that critiquing it solely on the climbing in it is a bit rough. I'm pretty psyched to climb and train again after watching it yesterday...

I watched this yesterday. I think this would be far more entertaining if I understood what was going on. The film seems more about the trip than the climbing. It struck me as a well filmed holiday movie, not a climbing flick.

Black Diamond often upload videos, but do not make them publicly accessible straight away, instead waiting until the accompanying blog from their "athletes" is published (which for this video was a few days ago).

enjoyed the font video :thumbsup:! whats the song at around 10 mins? cheers...
-
Nice footage in the BD clip!
-
I really enjoy the BD clips; well filmed with interesting effects without being gimmicky, good music, nice contextual stuff avoiding the usual "driving to the crag", nice insigthful interviews without getting too Fryberger. And short enough that I can grab a quick watch at work!
Just a bit annoying when the do the "give name and grade before he succeeds" cliche to take any tension away.

The problem Ben Moon climbs at 7mins is Jerry's features and discs which weighs in at 8A/8A+. :bow:
Without the discs was first done by Malc.

Malc's eliminates the disk for foot, but still uses it for hands as I understand it
-

My bad. I was just going on what I thought you said
-
Malc's problem climbs the whole problem with feet on features only, the original problem uses disc 2 as a foot hold. That single move has to be the hardest move I've ever come across. Malc gave it 8b but wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot harder.
There are numerous other features / disc problems including Justin P's project he recently did after years of effort. Needs a mini guide really.
-
Lucky ure here to set people straight on eliminates as always Andy. Micky warms up on jerrys, its quite frightening really. Had 3sessions on malcs n says its significantly harder, but was told they're 8a n + respectively. He shud have done malcs 2nd session but didn't cos he's shit. We're gonna get Dave Jones down so he can burn micky off again
-
Purely in the interest of historical accuracy..........
I'm almost 100% sure the discs weren't like that when The Wave was originally built and were added/altered at a later date. I basically lived at The Foundry when I first moved up here and knew every inch of that wall (which is why I was able to win the first bouldering league there, cheating really ;) ).
I first did this problem using one bolt on to start (think it was on the classic "blue holds" problem which was the only 'set' problem originally), to gain the first pinch as a handhold and then as a foothold for the match (also did it as a jump start to the pinches as the mats were lower then) then purely features. I did the move from the good edge after the pinches by putting LF on the left pinch and doing a massive step through with RF so as to reach the high edge statically.
I also tried to work out a way of gaining the pinches just on features but this seemed improbably hard (it was 1991 after all) but possible. There was a decent edge which you could do some sort of horrific shoulder press off IIRC and the footholds were shit.

Nice problem - but what a log film... too much (dull) talking about conditions etc.. and did we really need the Nutella pancake scene??
-
if i hate anything about climbing films its footage of cooking/ eating and footage of people making a coffee with them metal things...... :chair:
-
His pancake skillz do look pretty dope tho'
-
fo' shizzle
(insert any current faux gangsta speak here, I don't know what terminology regarded as "street". Or even if the word "street" is used anymore.)
-
if he wants to show off his pancake skills he should do it in a seperate video so i dont have to fast forward through it...
-
Why are we forced to watch him get out of bed and make pancakes before we get to see him crush V14!?
Is that the second coolest thing that happened to him that day?
-
It's in to show that he is not a tosser
-
Good looking boulder but awful video. He spelt American Gangster wrong and used two different fonts!! Ahhh bad film making is frustrating!
-
His video is getting well battered on here
:sorry:
It was all the electricity puns on that other thread. I just thought it was the current thing to do.

I thought the filming of the actual problem was great and does it justice. The filler bits are redundant, can't they just say or do SOMETHING different, I wish I had their time. However I was glad to see he kept the item tag on his pad, poppin' tags be for the birds yo.

2 positive comments in a row. Go lie down dense!

No, here's a third. I apologise I've been away a while and had no net access with any ability to watch vids. I really liked the Jon glassberg Washington one as well.
I always give positive comments if i think it fits with my idea of what's good.
The problem with a forum is that regular office type users, basically those that are on here all the time who may or may not incidentally work in an office, forget that some people have limited access and want to find out about stuff, watch films, make love etc. But the core group of office workers with nothing to do just start chatting about bananas on any given thread and said thread then just descends into farce for everyone else but this core group. Then when one of the manual labourers turns around and says you're all being idiots can you shut up pls, everyone thinks he's a dick and has nothing good to say. Conversely when the labourer turns around and says he likes something everyone says wow what's up with this guy? The answer is nothing's up, sometimes he gives as well as takes away

I like the concept and video a lot but at the same time i'm slightly disapponted that it perpetuates a common misrepresentation that gneiss and granite are the same thing...
normally i wouldn't care too much but last year i attended a short "rock climbing geology" held by a strong french girl for us wannabe climbing instructors...and she said : "Gneiss...[blah blah bla]...very interesting but i've never heard of any climbing on such rock, so it must all be choss!"
That is when it starts being disappointing (maybe the disappointing thing is that the class wasn't held by a geologist)
btw, how many here are aware that:
1-Ticino is all gneiss
2-Some features like the waves on the Molonk boulder can't be mistaken for granite. That's a signature of the metamorphic process.
3-although gneiss is often "messed up granite", some of it isn't...eg cresciano should be "messed up" sand or sandstone (Paragneiss)...
-
Thanks ghisino, I get sick of people saying granite when it's not! I thought a lot of the stuff in switzerland was blueschist/greenschist/eclogite though? Maybe that's just Magic Wood.
-
Jesus Christ, you two are killing all the poetry. Next time I see my girl I'll tell her "You've got very beautiful mammary glands". Thanks.

Gniess Earth has a better ring to it. Anyway, you don't go around calling climbing football, or calling apples oranges. They're two completely different things.

A brilliant idea, from one who was a true expert in the field. Shame he never got round to it. Too busy climbing I'm afraid. :lol:

Had to google boulangeries... But that does sound like a good idea... Another idea for English climbing films would be to show a problem followed by directions to the nearest good pub..... I'm gonna gonna do that.... :icon_beerchug:

EDIT: The long standing open project linking the entire Hollow Mountain Cave end to end. Start as for X-Treme Cool (V9), and keep climbing into all of Sleepy Hollow (V12), Cave Girl (V8/9), Dead Can't Dance (V11) - finishing up Rave Heart. Route grade of 36/37
......with a new start and finish......
-
Speaking to one of ascent ironists, sorry apple spell check thing but I like it so will use it, who's about 3ft away. It is a v9, v11,v9,v11 like jack said so I stand corrected, caveat of the start may be v8. The direct version start is v4/5 instead of 9, he still has no idea why this would be graded harder than original

It's academic anyway, it's a route ;)
-
It's academic anyway, it's a route ;)
:agree: Gets 35/36 (9a/+) as a route grade...
And Sleepy Hollow hasn't gotten V12 in a long time. Widely accepted as V11 these days.
Start looks the same. Don't know why it would be V4/5? :shrug: The only V4 in the cave starts where his first rest is and heads away from the camera...
But the Wheel finishes up Rave Heart whereas the direct finishes up Dead Can't Dance. Looking at the guide and topos, it doesn't look like a direct finish at all... :slap:
-
Start looks same to me too must have meant end, however he's left for work now so can't check. I do remember lots of swearing when direct was done, which is no help to anyone.
Very impressive to watch James sprint through the problems

'tis the season! Another Rocklands vid as per that bloke from the unpronounceables in the Font vid above.
Enjoyed the vid and also interesting to see lots of night sequences (one at 4am!), just wondered is there any issue with African wildlife at night... any chance might you meet something a little more challenging than a fox or a deranged sheep like in the UK??
I only ask because I know folk who have been carp fishing in SA (at Klaseris Dam near Kruger) - one morning they found large leopard prints all round their rods.... only a few feet from where they were sleeping in tents - nearly kacked themselves when they realised what could have met if they had had to go for a dump in the night! They also stopped asking why they could not fish through the night.
-
Leopards can be found anywhere, there were sightings in the Magaliesberg kloofs (gorges) where we used to go climbing. No doubt there are a few in the Cedarberg, but they are generally very shy unless cornered / confronted. Other than that encountering anything toothy larger than a fox would be unusual, just got the usual snakes and spiders to worry about.

Nalle's new line in Magic Wood.

Nice line and repeat from Castle Hill.
Zac Orme has made the second ascent of one of Flock Hill's hardest problems - Moby Dick. This line was written off as too unlikely prior to Chris Sharma's visit, but he gave it a concerted effort and was getting close when his trip ran out. It took a few more years for an FA to eventuate, but James Morris finally pieced it together in 2012, finding a path through the slopey bulge with just a few minimal runnel features for assistance.
With the help of several feet of snow granting cold dry conditions Zac has managed a repeat and suggested it's more V12 than V11. Compared to the steep but hold-strewn testpieces in Europe and the States this ones a real doozy.

Nalle's new line in Magic Wood.
Some nice filming, but is it just me, or are there a few moves missing towards the end? He all of a sudden seems to gain a lot of height with his left hand from the ramp he jumps to.

Incredible looking rock, but yes, the edit misses out about a body length.

Flipping amazing line though.
I've noticed how his accent has changed from spending so much time with American 'dudes'. It's strange how he's developed the 'like' thing, although his English is so good that I guess it's inevitable that he'd pick up traits that can be seen as annoying by some.
That aside, how the living fcuk did he hold that swing? That goes down as one of the most impressive things I've seen a climber do.
-
It was pretty amazing wasn't it.
The slo mo was pretty cool. I've always really struggled at any move like that ( not like THAT of course but at my level ) and you can see he starts to throw his leg towards the wall as soon as he can to counterbalance the swing. It's not for a foothold just to stop him coming off. Great coordination.
Sorry about the off topic. But i don't think i've ever heard so many likes in my life. I use fillers a lot when i am trying to speak Spanish. It gives my brain time to catch up with what want to say. I'm going to have to make sure i don't sound like he does.
-
That walk in is epic compared to the climbing!
It does seem odd to devote 50% of the video to that and not include all of the ascent which in real time must be about 30 seconds.
Problem looks good though.
-
Could it be that the footage was shot after the actual ascent and he couldn't repeat the problem on the day(s) it was being filmed hence the final edit not showing every single second? :shrug:
[Occams Razor]A mistake when editing[/Occams Razor]
:devangel:
-
yeah, and then the star can't even repeat good size links leaving you suspicious and with more work to do *cough*BARROWS*cough*
I liked the slo-mo too, it's great that with optimum camera settings and judicious use of twixtor people can create some very interesting footage, you can really see the forces being applied.

Maybe some will say it’s a route. To Rafael Passos, it’s a boulder. And it would be the first of such graduation to be climbed in Brazil (still in November 2009, by himself). In this case, the chronological order is important: it represents a big milestone, a great achievement - we all know that the reminded and celebrated are always the firsts, the ones that dared. They are, at last, the ones who tamed the distant and unachievable, transformed the fantasy into concreteness. Explorers. Perhaps this is the best adjective to describe Rafinha. To us, obsessively passionate about climbing, what remains is a beautiful line, an extremely classic, gorgeous, hard climbing. Really hard. Now, since we’ve got the power of the words (and images), we say: cheers to the first V14 climbed in Brazil!

Christian Core casually running another lap on the hardest problem in the world.
Christian Core "GIOIA" 8C+ on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/71151970)
I'm always surprised how little news we hear about this thing since Ondra decided it was the hardest problem in the world, I assume at least some of the usual globe-trotting 8C-climbing superstars have been on it and got shut down?
-
I've been there - and not done it - but I can tell that the holds are very painful, at least on the first part of the problem. Then, the setting is not the most beautiful you can imagine: it's in a nice wood with a river, but the rock is not beautiful and given that that boulder sees a lot of traffic the ground is badly kept. Maybe this, and the fact that Ondra gave it 8c+, make it little appealing.
Having said this, I add that If I could, I would go there and climb it, no matter what.
-
Didn't Woods have a proper go? I 'think' Ondra said in an interview that only he and Woods could use one of the holds from the superstars who had tried.
-
Perhaps too many people have seen the video of Ondra having to try REALLY hard on it and thought "fuck that!". Core is ridiculously strong.
-
Good Core strength :)

The first ascent of 'Old Dreams Waiting' 8a+ found in Cadeby Cliff Quarry (Earth Quarry) in Conisbrough. A stunning line with great slopey holds but a terrible landing. I worked the climb on self belay before the ascent in part due to the landing and also because of a lack of spotters.

Bloody good effort Mike. Went here with Noble a while back and looked at this lip traverse, horrid spine breaker of a landing.

I've got to say I'm constantly amazed by Mick's ability to keep knocking off hard and often necky looking lines at crags and areas that everyone else will have written off as complete shite. Yyou've got to take your hat off to him for the psyche and vision.

Ashima is maintaining a healthy standard of awesome shorts. Her feet look enormous though. Strong wee thing.
-
Suspect presence of bonkers father may be a hindrance rather than help! Has team Ashima sacked Obe?
Why do you say that? He does have interesting hair, but if you've ever been to New York, that's par for the course.
In the video I thought he was very supportive and helpful in the way a father should be, and in a way that Ashima seemed to need for that send. Taking weight off like that is also a standard and smart way of working moves on a boulder.
Before Obe came on Ashima just climbed with her father supporting her for years, so it's not like he's popping out of nowhere and spraying random punter beta. While he's not a climber, he seems to have a good feel for the process imo.

God I hate cooking footage....
I hate people who think that the usual rules don't apply to them and climb in areas which they are well aware are closed. And rather than do it quietly on the sly, they put up videos which include images of burnt foliage (easily identifying it as a closed area) putting access for everyone else at risk. Nice work wads. :worms: :clap2: :clap2:

I know, and that Jimmy Webb taking his top clean off and thrusting his brazenly exposed nipples at the camera - it's enough to make me want to write to the editor.

lots of images of Pooch wearing very similar outfits, why does it feel more pervy looking at SBC? Is it because pooch looks like an athlete and SBC looks like a swimwear model? Interesting that it evokes the same response in many of us...

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed it. The internet is full of bouldering videos with athletic, good looking young people performing extensively rehearsed bouldering sequences for the camera. We decided that there weren't enough videos of opinionated old blokes with missing teeth in baggy jumpers making it look like hard work. So we made a bouldering film with very little bouldering in it.

La Sportiva Legends Only 2013 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNUyfgUP-Sk#ws)

Not a bad comp - interesting to see Megos crush #3 after being spat off 1 and 2.
To be a legend, do you have to be sponsored by La Sportiva (and male)?
-
Just a Male Comp! I don't think you have to be sponsored by La Sportiva as JWebb is on 5:10 and god knows what Megos is wearing. I think its just like surfing comps were the Company just sponsors an event i.e. Volcom Fiji Pro!
JWebb is a total monster, met him in Rocklands, the guys is huge, tall and built like a machine, no wonder he screaming about his skin after that crimp problem, he must weigh the same as a small car!
-
I think in previous years it was Sportiva climbers only but this year they brought in some others. Megos is Tenaya.
-
Not a bad comp - interesting to see Megos crush #3 after being spat off 1 and 2.
Indeed, he pissed that compared to the rest.
Problem 2 was a bit horrible to watch, the rest looked great. 4 was fine finish despite the lack of tops.
Nice commentary, both for the discussions of morphology and technique, and the regular "ooooh la la" :)
-
Jwebb is huge? Is this true? I thought he was but according to some stats he's 6ft tall
-
Turnip was standing closer to him than he thought, so he just looked bigger.
-
Jwebb is huge? Is this true? I thought he was but according to some stats he's 6ft tall
It might have been the perspective. For example if somebody saw only your head they would expect you have to the body of a small child, not that adonis like figure that i dream about on lonely nights.

I think JWebb wins the prize for worst look. Is the Amish thing hip right now stateside?

-
but is jwebb huge?
it'll have to be kept a dream ferret
-
but is jwebb huge?
It's all relative.
He weighs the same as me and is 3 inches taller and 6 minchs more of reach, so I consider him a skinny/lanky bastard.
Or maybe I'm a fatty :)
-
can someone who knows his height pls tell me, preferably in ft and inches or can someone tell me sasquatch's height so i can add 3?
-
I'm pretty sure he's about 6ft 1inch and 79kg.
At least that was the weight I saw listed on the sportiva comp. The height is based on what I've been told by other who've climbed with him.
-
cheers sasquatch, so he's not a giant in any way he's just a man who happens to be very good at climbing rocks instead of being built like a boy

I just watched this, great film.
I don't know that guy but being a regular at the Foundry in the early 90's I was massively influenced by his style. I bought some Oakley Frogskins and had clear prescription lenses put in them. An inadvertent side effect was being cool at school because this was Kurt Cobain's look too; I was just trying to fit in with the climbers.

I thought this was great.

That was great. Especially loved all the kids watching looking slightly confused. Reminds of when I took a Kenyan guy climbing at burbage south boulders. He had a great time and at the end I asked him what he thought. He said 'Only in England! In my country, old men would ask you why you are wasting your life!'.
-
There's some good cragging on the lake shore too - my brother showed me some pics and the hot rock tours developed a fair bit.
-
I talked to a girl who was employed on the Africa hot rock tour for 10months. Out of all the countries they went to, she reckoned Zimbabwe was the best for climbing - boulders everywhere. Malawi looks amazing though!

Thanks for sharing the link to my latest video :-)
I wish I knews about Malawi Gold before going there...
The kids were really something. Many of them are orphans of parents who died from AIDS. Unfortunately on this trip we did not have the time to cover the stories of the people we met but I we have the chance to go there again we will definitely include their story in the video, in addition to exploring deeper in the boulder fields.
The bouldering there is something quite special. You will not find AAA quality rock. It varies greatly from one boulder to another. In most areas though you can develop a lot of easy bouldering. You need to search a lot more for hard stuff but it's there. The lake is fun but alos the worst rock of the trip. The rock next to the water is not worth a trip in my opinion, the whole slope going down to the lake is covered with boulders. They might be great further from the water but the boulders and plants make it extremely hard to progress (would take a whole day to go 200m up the slope...
I am making an article with practicle information about climbing in Malawi for 8a.nu. Should be available in a couple weeks tops!
Cheers,
Haroun

I was lucky enough to grab a couple of days at HP40 in 2010 and loved it. Wish I could go back.

God module is a pretty impressive looking climb....
-
Sessions is one of the first climbing DVDs I ever bought, and I've always fancied going there. Where's dense along to slate it?
-
climbed a lot of the lines on that video from HP40 - great lines. God Module is awesome. Rocktown is also worth a visit.
-
anyone else think the starts in the first quarter looked a bit "french"?
not saying i could do the sitters but...
-
Not at all. Stringray he clearly hangs the holds and then moves. God Module has a very specific start. You must have both hands on the flake, put your foot on the wall, pull on and hold it for a second and then move. A french start would be easier. Dave does it perfectly.
-
anyone else think the starts in the first quarter looked a bit "french"?
WTF are you talking about? If you're going to be critical you could at least be a bit more specific, so you can be totally shut down on whatever point you're trying to make.
-
I think his point is pretty clear. It's just completely wrong.
-
Not watched the vid but stingray and god module do have starts that could look almost French, so prob not too far off the mark
-
They don't look like French starts at all in the video.
-
"WTF are you talking about? If you're going to be critical you could at least be a bit more specific, so you can be totally shut down on whatever point you're trying to make."
Oooft id forgotten the internet had such aggressive folk. i wasnt looking for an fight or anything. French was in inverted commas as two of the starts looked funny to me but clearly arent the full leap. it was a fairly through away comment. i ll not comment on the further to avoid keyboard gansterism, feel free to rip into me further...
-
It's only aggressive if you take it that way. The trick is not to take it that seriously. It's possible to say WTF with a smile, as well as a frown. Try it in the mirror!
I'll let the spelling and punctuation pass as you're obviously feeling sensitive :jab:
-

Which problems are you talking about? I can't see anything but static starts. David takes his foot off the ground before even initiating movement on God Module and Hangs completely static on Stingray before moving. I'm not sure what more you could ask for?
-
I'll let the spelling and punctuation pass as you're obviously feeling sensitive :jab:
As you should...
Anything Else?
Don't resort to critcising people's grammar or spelling when arguing/debating - firstly it's rather scraping the insults barrel; secondly people often type to forums quickly whilst at work, etc; and lastly some people may be dyslexic.
-
anyone else think the starts in the first quarter looked a bit "french"?
not saying i could do the sitters but...
People do get called out for french starts on God Module but I clearly don't french start it. The friends I was there with and I had spoken about it the night before. My left foot clearly leaves the floor, a pause, and then I go for the hold. I can assure you I would not be claiming the ascent if I had. As for Stingray you start dangling from a jug, if you are shorter than me it's actually a jump start. I could just reach it to pull off the ground and campus.
Other than that glad you are all enjoying the video. The South is a brilliant venue!

It's only aggressive if you take it that way. The trick is not to take it that seriously. It's possible to say WTF with a smile, as well as a frown. Try it in the mirror!
I'll let the spelling and punctuation pass as you're obviously feeling sensitive :jab:
It was quite obviously aggressive. The trick is being able to read.
Good post that last one Dave. Brilliant place, that and god module hard 8A will keep my core going for days. Enjoy hueco
The HP40 vid problems looked great and not a French start in sight as far as I could see.
About the agro reply- I thought it was standard ukb practice. Like a kind of superior ukc. Different but the same.

No need to appologise for your swedish, if you all put up with my english I will gladly accept any attempt at swedish from everyone here.
Watched the movie again and it is actually "Kom igen" and an occasional "Kom igen då" they say, come on/come on then in english. Same in norwegian and swedish and I guess the danish would say it also. No problems for a swede to understand a norwegian and vice versa it just sounds a bit funny then a norwegian person says it, they always sopunds so damn happy/jolly then they speak atleast for a swedish person.
Proper swedish "Kom igen" with my local dialect:

I always find it interesting how much some of the words in the Scandinavian languages sounds like Scots. Like in the video you link they say something that sounds really like the scots word 'braw' which means good. I guess its the viking influence.

Well yes, I'm told Faroese is basically scandinavian although I believe the dialect is about die out. Far north scots sound very scandinavian to me. They're a lot closer to Bergen than London after all. There's a lot of norse in northern England, eg thwaite, mirk and probably a load more remains in local dialects. Don't they say ' laken' for 'play' round Bradford?

Laken around used in Cumbria meaning messing or fooling about.

I'd heard the 7c/b+ for Ripple Effect referred to an eliminate that started quite far to the right and lip traversed the right-hand side before reaching the arete - that the version that used the left-hand side as well was a good few grades easier (possibly called the Green Room?). Anyone know what the current consensus is - is it an eliminate or was it just bad beta did the first ascensionist just use bad beta?
-
I do ripple effect from double leg bars out to the right and pull up to the lip with my right hand and work left to where this guy started. I don't think it makes a big difference in grade where he started but it's a strenuous yet fun couple of extra moves.
I think it's 7b+ in this style.
This guy crushes the crux move.

This beta is a lot more straight-far ward than mine, however it looks really strong and reachy (not my style). I'd feel hard done by to only get 7b for this. It's significantly harder than many of the 7bs in the area.

I think the eagle that has been spotted nesting there might put paid to any future ascents.

-
What is all this bollocks about Eagles nesting there? Clint eatswood was nowhere to be seen...nay jocks even visit the crag nowadays so it wont affect them anyway as the place had been forgotten since Mr Smith left it. The Eagle looked to be nesting about 1-2 miles away considerably higher up and on a massive crag (where eagles tend to nest), notices are in the village (or speak to the man in the post office), its hardly nesting on top of the bloody boulders and when i saw it last year it was from a good mile or so away as it was flying over a ridge line miles away having a bit of a hunt. The whole valley is being reforested by scottish woodlands (mostly deciduous) and mountain bike trails are being built. If the boulders were in an SPA boundary it'd be folly to grant planning permission for mountain bike trails there! Reforestation is much more likely to affect climbing there. The reforesting will eventually shorten the season in a few years as it'll keep the wind down and the midgies up. However the trees wont come right up to the boulders so it might be ok in june on the right days still. On the plus side i think (vaguely recall a convo about it with a villager) they might be building a car park near the water treatment plant. so the walk in would be reduced even more. As ever if the Eagle has moved (which it may have??) i'd be the first to advise sacking off visiting the place until its moved on but last year that was very much not the case.

Just heard it from a guy that works for the RSPCB up there Dan. Problems at the Anvil possibly too, with a sea eagle.

Sea Eagle! sounds like big bird turf wars, which'd be good to see on the eagle cam. Interested to hear more as will probably visit arrochar a bit more this spring.

(Currently available to download so you can watch it when not on the Internet).
-
I enjoyed that, though for reference I'm pretty sure supersize me starts a few moves further back
-
Yeah, from the obvious undercut. Back around! :lol:
-
wasn't supersize me first reported as one move into huffy's problem, as in just bumping the left hand?
-
I'd presumed it started from the lowest undercut there is (flat/rounded one, just below the sharp one CWP start with his RH on). It makes at least a small difference too, since when I tried I did it from where he starts but not the lower start which I presume is the actual start.
-
This is the original thread
http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?topic=13871.0 (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?topic=13871.0)
-
Oh right, so it actually starts neither where CWP went from nor where I was starting from, but in between, i.e. matched on where CWP has his RH? I suspect one of the ascentionists will have extended it as the rounded undercut 2 moves lower seemed like the obvious low start to me - Mason, where did you start from if you're reading this?
-
Yes. From what I remember, both Kook and Dawid had a go at super low starts (both from the smaller undercut and from the back wall) but they were much harder, and perhaps a bit more grovelly. I think Dawid always wanted to start lower, but he never managed to link it.
-
I can't remember with out being at the boulder but I definitely started lower (we noticed that). Maybe left hand where he starts with his right or something like that.

+1 I was about to post it. I know Gord slightly as he is Squamish-based. I think this video is from their second visit, but I could be wrong. Anyway, he seemed really psyched about the place.
The number of boulders there is unbelievable. As far as the eye can see stuff. For me I'd like to see it remain undocumented (if it hasn't been documented already). Proper adventure bouldering. I scrambled up a couple of things whilst passing through.

Its the organised events that aren't such a good thing.
The Rock Rodeo is incredibly well organised and raises money for Access Fund and other charities within El Paso. It all has to be authorised by the Hueco Tanks Park and guides are used at all times so that hopefully damage is limited.

The park has a maximum number of people that are allowed in each day and this is not exceeded for the Rodeo.
We were sceptical at first but actually the day is really good and pretty laid back and the whole weekend is a lot of fun even for boring bastards like myself.
You wouldn't want it all the time but as an annual event it's pretty good. Agreed with the ears bleeding though Dense!

Speaking of organised events…..
Apart from all the a-whooping and a-hollering and annoying commentary and slow-mo etc etc, the problems do look a bit more fun and create more of a spectacle than our comps.
-
All good, they just don't interest me, I quite like peace and solitude when I head outdoors (virtually impossible, but it is possible to avoid crowds).
The whole permit system at Hueco puts me off ever going, as does US border control.
-
US Border control isn't a problem. Unless you happen to be Mexican and trying to get into El Paso from the south side :)
-
Agreed about quiet and solitude for climbing, I really don't like climbing with lots of people around. That's why I filmed on the day. In fact this year Hueco was the perfect place for that. The whole time we were there (except for a few days before the Rodeo) we barely saw anyone, it was great!
The permit situation isn't too much of a problem as long as you are organised especially for North Mountain and the climbing is definitely worth it. Plus it doesn't rain!!
-
I did wonder about the max person allowance and why you weren't climbing? You know me tho Dave I just don't like people. Not a fan of epilepsy either more the slower paced shit, but not as far as Nick B's timelapses ;)

Bet you would if you could.

This kind of videos always makes me think that superwads' physical potential is way above actual problems.
Crushing a basic, two moves 8b+, means that physically they can do things that are way harder.
-
It's also the thing where when someone strong does something dead basic, it always looks piss. Belying the fact that it's actually still quite hard for them.

LOL. No, it's definitely in the right place here, there's little pretense otherwise in the film. Great little film, nice to have such close footage of the holds and action. Good effort on the top bit especially.

One Week with Alex Megos in the UK (http://dmmclimbing.com/news/2014/05/gimme-kraft-one-week-alex-megos-uk-vid/) by Nick Brown
Nice video Nick.

That was great! Glad to see he enjoyed his stay :strongbench:

Nearly did Hubble in an hour. Decent.
-
Nearly did Hubble in an hour. Decent.
Blimey. Nearly doing Hubble is the new doing Hubble. Ben Moon and Malc Smith will be pissed.
-
Worth noting for future visiting stars that not doing a short 8c+ in an hour will get you more attention than climbing a long 8c second go ;)
Great video, interesting to contrast his style to Ondra's, very slow and deliberate.
-

Blimey. Nearly doing Hubble is the new doing Hubble. Ben Moon and Malc Smith will be pissed.
I think if he'd actually done it an hour, it would be more than 'decent'. so maybe not quite like doing hubble
-
What's quite interesting about the fascination with Adam and Alex not doing Hubble is that it shows
1) Hubble is hard for the grade, which we already knew
2) we haven't really assimilated just how good these guys are. We don't really understand what it means to be a 9a onsight climber. That's nearly a full number grade harder than I climb, so the equivalent for me would be failing on a quick tick of an 8a, which almost never happens. So it's not surprising they did well on it in short order. What is surprising is that neither actually did it. (See 1)
-
The most worrying thing about the bit of the film i have watched (hubble) is that he is close to getting a knee bar in on the crux. It almost looks as if the addition of a pad or a slightly longer leg length would perhaps work.
Surely this is something that must be stopped before it happens.

Re: Hubble is it possible that they both didn't want to trash themselves on a boulder problem on a rope when they could be climbing nice routes instead?
-
Maybe they want to do a boulder problem on a rope? Megos just did Action Directe after all ;)
-
You might note that Megos has only just done it, despite Frankenjura being his local climbing area, he's probably run out of other things to climb!

He was afraid of trying it because of its reputation and then dreamt of doing it in a day (http://www.planetmountain.com/english/News/shownews1.lasso?l=2&keyid=41777).
-
Action Directe is not a boulder problem either.
-
Out of interest, does anybody know what is the quickest send of hubble?
-
Action Directe is not a boulder problem either.
Its not long either. AD around 15-18 moves. Hubble around 10 from ground to when hard bit is finished plus a 7c+ route on top.
-

Sorry, it wasn't clear enough first time round.
-
Out of interest, does anybody know what is the quickest send of hubble?
Taking the ascents by Ben, Malc, Gaskins, Steve Dunning and Ste Mac (not to mention that by Rich S :worms:), I guess the quickest may well have been Ben's, although I have no knowledge of how quick Steve D's ascent was or really any accurate knowledge of number of sessions/ days etc. spent for anyone else.
Anyone know any different? Any more shy Hubble baggers out there? Crazy that its only been climbed 5(6) times in 24 years.
-
Ted I think you just won the prize for most conjecture in a forum post ever. I'll try to better it....
Ben - well someone could ask him or you could work it out from his training diaries that he put online recently. Definitely put some hours in.
Malc - Not much time on the route at all but plenty on his replica.
Steve Mac - I'd guess the quickest ascent as he avoided it, it not being his style, for ages and then crushed it.
Steve Dunning - no idea. Again, someone could just ask him couldn't they?
John Gaskins - See Shark's interview. Improved so much after putting that much effort in to climb it that it became a warm up. Or something.
Rich Simpson - Ran sub 4 minute mile.
For shortest time in days/hours on the route my money would be on Malc or Steve M but possibly only because I know they both did it.
-
In a very old interview on Grimper magazine, Ben told that Malc had spent the same time on the route as he had. Ten days. IIRC.

Epic TV as a whole is stupidly annoying, to the point it detracts from the actual footage and content. The worst is when they say something like "Jimmy Webb opens new v15" in the title, then proceed to chat about it with nothing but a still off instagram to show

Of course. Relationships and access in some areas around Cape Town are tenuous at least. Get your ticks, move on, and leave the locals to deal with the fallout. I think some locals have had their feelings known.

I thought i was in a small minority dissing anklets. I can't quite put my finger on what makes me dislike them so much, all i know is that they make me cringe a little.

Jimmy Webb in Font and Switzerland.
The Magical Forest of Fontainebleau, France - Jimmy Webb (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ui0Zta10svE#ws)
-
Bet Davey G's chuffed he didn't just walk up his 8C in Fionnay.
-
For sure as he's annihilating everything else.
Awesome stuff but I'm still fast forwarding these videos hoping for the Dune footage, which unless I'm being stupid isn't on any of them.
I presume it's being kept for a film but I would love to see it. That's the most impressive thing I've heard he's done.
-
I really didn't like the video of Webb in Font.
Leaving aside personal look choices, like anklets and hipster/Amish beards, I didn't like how it was shot: no close ups on the holds, missed moves and topouts, etc.
Plus, one of the things I hate the most in bouldering videos: they show the boulderer walking peacefully in the forest, with just a tiny pack - because bouldering is so pure, just chalk and shoes - and then, magic! Five or six pads materialize under the boulder, with spotters, pad moving slaves and the likes.
It's as fake as a seven Euros bill.
-
Only about 1/4 of it was Font footage, the rest is in Switzerland. :read:
-
1) The title says "The Magical Forest of Fontainebleau" and that's what I used as a reference.
2) I never implied a specific reference to bad shooting in Fontainebleau, otherwise I would have used Forest with a capital "f".
Nice try, though. ;)
-
That comment wasn't directed at yourself Nibs, it was a more general comment on the inappropriate title of the video, since I was expecting a video of crushing in Fontainebleau. Out of the 6m22sec they switch to Switzerland at the 1m38sec point. To me that makes it predominantly about crushing in Switzerland, not Fontainebleau.
-
Jwebb film was shit. how you can make a shit film when filming people like him in places like that is beyond me.

I'm hoping that this is a 'keep the sponsors happy' quick edit, and there is a full(er) length vid coming out at some point. It will be a real shame if the footage of the trip doesn't come to light. I guess the other almost unthinkable option is that Jimmy was not constantly being followed around with a camera, and some of his ascents weren't captured!
-
i hope this as well, if he isnt constantly followed i think he needs to tripod up, doesnt he realise he climbs for our viewing pleasure ;)
-
The one thing I can't understand about this thread is that big names seem to get videos on it whether they are quality or not. The last two of Jimmy are obvious examples. Yes he is a beast and yes the problems he is sending are hard but neither of the videos have been quality. I do know this is personal choice but really!
They should get put in non-quality then we still get to see him being a beast!
-
Yeah I agree. Not that I even realised they were shit as I was just ffwding looking for Dune footage....
-
Yeah I agree. Not that I even realised they were shit as I was just ffwding looking for Dune footage....
Now that will be quality, however poor the video!
-
The quality bouldering vid originally started as a place to put any vids, because at the time seeing any climbing on the internet was "quality". The non quality thread started as somewhere to put really awful vids, but quickly morphed. Does it really matter which thread they end up in though? Sure we all look them at both.
-
I put one in the non quality bit the other day - she's sponsored but I didn't like the vid muchly. I liked the first problem, my mate's music is in it and still I didn't think it quality, even tho some might. It is better than some in here tho.
Swings and roundabouts.
-
Ones for good vids to watch the others are tolerable or worse. No one puts their own in quality. That goes for whether you're filming or in it. It's quite simple. The last few of the good webbs have been less than poor

Bouldering? Chuffing?
Putting holds on a bridge? Poor form. Does look like fun though.

No worries :)
Obviously I could be wrong...

Talk about a disappointment I expected Sasquatch to have massive feet and be covered in hair!

As opposed to a tiny head with no hair? :)

That would look even more ridiculous!

Glad you guys like it
-
Just watched it. The sceneries amazing Sasquatch! Why did I have to become a slave to the man? :(
On a side note, faced with that why do you feel the need to go and do a sharp piece of shit that doesn't climb well boulder called the mandala? I honestly can't understand
-
I didn't think the Mandala was sharp. Quite friendly actually.(our local granite is gnarly) ;D And aside from it being a crimpfest, I thought it climbed reasonably. More subtle than I thought it would be (at least for me as I have to be perfectly efficient)
Realistically though, Two reasons for now:
1. When the season is done here in late October, it's done till april at the earliest. that leaves many months of "hmm what should I do?"
2. History and Aesthetics - I think it's a beautiful line, and the Buttermilks are a beautiful area.
I like the 'milks more than just about anywhere I've climbed in the US, and really only third overall for me behind Hatcher Pass(local) and Squamish. But then again, I've only done the western US, southeast US a bit, and kalymnos. Not been to Font, Switzerland, etc. yet.

I'm assuming those lines were 8c....I blame Sharma for the lack of grade references. Looks amazing, if a little sharp.
That last problem looked E8! I wonder how long the walk back was :sick:

Oof :(

Good job Lassie was on hand to get help.
Amazing looking place and rock though.

I wonder how long the walk back was :sick:
I read somewhere on the web the approach to the bouldering was 1.5 hours. Ouch.

JAPAN GRANITE on Vimeo (http://vimeo.com/103436039)
-
Enjoyed that and didn't think I would. I always like to have a name and grade or I think the makers can't be arsed to put it on so I can't be bothered to watch it. Obviously these guys had name and grade but my Japanese is a bit rusty these days. Ergo they did give details but I couldn't read them yet I still liked the vid. I don't know what I'm saying anymore
-
Names and grades are in description on video page, between V8 - V12/13
-
agreed, really enjoyed video despite no names or grade in english. I think part of it is just seeing something a bit different (ie not rocklands or the peak) plus it was well edited
-
only just watched the Talib vid, impressive and a fantastic looking line

Looks great. Bristol climbers have been needing something like this for 30 years. Mostly far too hard for me but there is only one way to get better. A family weekend in the Forest of Dean may be on the cards...

Yep its a class venue, stays dry mostly as well. If your planning a trip I'd hurry up. The cave is Banned from sept through to may

I think climbing is permitted to the end of September. This fits well with school holidays and the adjacent campsite (http://www.dowardpark.co.uk/) sounds good for small offspring.

In the first few frames of that film there appeared to be a man wearing a polar bear hat. I then went blind so couldn't see the rest.

I saw the hat - then the leggings - then wondered if the leggings were tattoos - and was then sick.
-
God, I'm going to sound like a bitter miserable pedant, but does anyone else think there's a pretty audible dab on the swing?
-
I thought is, and I had the sound off.
-
God, I'm going to sound like a bitter miserable pedant, but does anyone else think there's a pretty audible dab on the swing?
Yes - thats what I thought its just in the Audio... I looked 2-3 times after without the sound and couldnt see it...
Not sure it would have made a difference - but I've done problems again for small skimming dabs like that...
-
That Tyler guy was pretty good.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
-
Think he clips the top of that little snap pad, no one blew the dab whistle though so it's all good.
-
Technically that's a dab. It obviously didn't affect the ascent but because of that prick in the hat any independent judge would have to give the benefit to the problem.
Back around.
-
Not a dab. None of the pads moved. The noise is from his left hand catching the jug a moment after he gets it with the right.
-
Sounds like it's Umpires call.....
(http://topnews.in/sports/files/DICKIE-BIRD1_0.jpg)
Oh he's gone! No argument. The dab has been called. Think the tit in the hat may have swayed the decision but unfortunately there's no DRS in this series so removal of shit polar bear headgear isn't going to matter.
-

Is it just me or did he make 8b+ look like a path?
-
Is it just me or did he make 8b+ look like a path?
Yes twice.
-
It IS a path for him. If you see him working a problem together with the likes of Woods or Graham, it's as he sticks some moves very easily where the others fail.
Makes me think back of some vids of the comps where Sharma was competing against all these powerhouses and made them look like total beginners.
Strong lads for sure!!
-
He is a bit good. New Base Line isn't a very inspiring line IMO. The other one was much more aesthetic.
-
:oops: :boxing:
If you see him working a problem together with the likes of Woods or Graham, it's as he sticks some moves very easily where the others fail.
Implying he always outperforms woods, and not just on big burly moves which he is better suited to... its like comparong apples and oranges, wonder why he did practice in a session instead of in search of time lost (disregarding aesthetics), considering they are right next door to each to each other
-
To be fair ones a good line the others a shit meandering line
-
Why should it be always a straight line? Quality of moves have much more parameters to it IMO, but I won' argue taste.
-
To be fair ones a good line the others a shit meandering line
Practice meaning webb doing the understanding (duh) but still the same point:
...disregarding aesthetics...
That theres no way he would have done search in a session (not that woods did) but my point is that they are both exceedingly strong towards their limits but in completely different ways
-
I think they're both relatively similar, esp. compared to string beans like Graham or Ondra. Webb is like a scaled up version of Woods. Precise, controlled, insanely strong open. Webb looks to be about as floaty as it is possible for a normally-proportioned human to be.
-
They hang out together as sharing their IQs makes them approach the intelligence of a single normal idiot.

It's got an original feel and some nice ideas but the end result was a bit like a bad A level media project.

Just kidding. It still fucks with my head, but I've accepted it as I really like watching myself climb. (total narcissism)
Still not on board with the "must have film proof" every time though.

from DW farcebook:
"This climb is made up of two heinous moves between very small, sharp, and slick textured holds. The right hand is a half pad shark tooth esq hold which requires iron skin to hold onto. I would place my ring finger on the left side of the tooth and middle finger on the right side and role my thumb over the side of the tooth. From here you do a long move to a left hand quarter pad glassy textured mini pinch look up real quick and jump big to a right hand half pad crimp. Your feet go almost horizontal on this move and it is really difficult to hold the tension. All that remains is a 30 foot quest up a delicate slab. Linking these two moves are some of the more difficult crimp moves that I have done in bouldering."

Some nice precise movement and some very perky trousers.
Really enjoyed that one of Mr. Core. Great sequence of movement over a large boulder - really envy anyone with the opportunity to try it.
Nice story behind the name too - "Raptor Survives" - as explained in the video description.

Nice looking problem. I'm in Sai Kung at the moment, reckon I can get half a day in between now and the flight back on Fri. Do you know of any bouldering near by that is sans mat friendly? Lammu island sounds good from what I've read. Weather has crapped out today so may have a quick sesh indoors somewhere if it doesn't improve.

Claim to fame, I was loudly practising my terrible Spanish on Iker's perro when I turned to see Iker taking a shit under a tree in Albarracin (I was wondering what his dog was doing in the middle of nowhere). I remember being more embarrassed about my Spanish than seeing him with his pants down.

The climbing bits were great and his sequence for Sky made me stand up in disbelief but my god I could do without the driving to the crag and tide lapping in and out bollocks... 4 minutes of climbing max in 11 minutes.
-
Not to mention use of selfie stick and slacklining.
-
Or the silent footage with hip-hop over the top. I enjoy hip-hop more than most but there can't be many more musical genres that are less appropriate for films of polite European people enjoying healthy pursuits in the great outdoors.

Well there didn't seem to be any problem with it apart from breaking off a bit of the top-out on one of the most highly acclaimed problems in one of the most popular areas in the country :shrug:

I nearly said something earlier. I'm not sure why I backed off. But I do wonder if they should have been climbing on The Ace. Didn't we have a debate about this just a couple of weeks ago?

Great effort from the both of them, very jealous of the Ace send, but, when conditions fail, don't climb on damp rock! Glad it wasn't the jug that broke off, again.

Good climbing skills, over-enthusiasm.
BMC have produced several guides to good practice in outdoor bouldering, rightly emphasising looking after the rock. Unfortunately none of them mention the vulnerability of damp sandstone or gritstone.

The video's just the right length in my opinion- these "one man and his camera" sort of films work best as little bite-sized chunks. Nice music.

Everything looks very dry when they're climbing. Looks like they waited in strong winds for 3 hrs. I was out on that day and there's a good chance what I was climbing had been wet 3 hours earlier. If everything looks dry and it's windy should one still not climb if you know it was wet earlier? How long would you have waited?
-
Rosk type matters, so on softer sedimentary type rock(sandstone) the recommendation is generally a full day. On granite, generally shortly after drying its fine. Granite doesn't tend to absorb the moisture. Sandstone does. Flks on this side of the pond think that's why Meadowlark lemon broke. People got on it after rain.

I have been informed of the incorrectness of my information. Meadowlark was not broken due to rain. It was due to uber wads who are too strong to be climbing on soft rock ripping the hold off. :P

Iceland stuff looked cool, I always like seeing very modern bouldering in such wild and out-of-the-way places. Would have been nice to have their homegrown talent Angist (http://"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Asz3-q-k3k") as the soundtrack though....
The clicking and cutting on the grit video made me a bit dizzy. It would be nice if that was cleared up and some of the dark bits were brightened to show off some pretty good footage - like in the Lowrider bit at the end, that looked good (with all the matching colours too!)
-
Opening shot on this one is a belter!! Great looking rock too...
http://vimeo.com/123149238
-
That is very clever and very, very well done - and the whole area looks good
-
Yes it is indeed.
The "discovery" thing is BS though. They may have developed a new sector, but there's been people bouldering in Elba for a long time now. I've been there and opened problems more than 10 years ago and a friend of mine also published an online guide at the same moment...
It's a classic to start something without asking anyone if they started it already.
A couple of friends are very pi***d by this videos and "Rock slave project" about Elba.
I don't care anymore. I have my board luckily.

I think grades of good quality climbs in the 6s tend to gravitate upwards, because obviously if it isn't 7A or above it can't be worth doing, can it?

I'm afraid 7c's tend to head South rather than North, unless holds break.
I've only ever climbed one problem around that level that has been upgraded and that was because it started out as a total sandbag.

You think? It looks to me like the problem involves doing some moves with your foot almost on the ground on that rock. "The pedestal". And like it's way easier if you're 99 foot tall. But hey, just my opinion.

With age, I've become too grumpy to go to happenings like Melloblocco. Lots of smiling faces, people actually having fun while climbing, all proper lines with topouts, blah.

My mate Barti posted a link for this on his facebook the other day. He was pretty excited due to Engelberg being featured at the end. It's in German (by Kurt Hötzel ) with English subtitles. Some great interviews and lots of beta for thems that have the skills and power. I've been to a few of the venues around central Swizzy... such a great place in general. It's a good watch at well over an hour.

Think they were just waiting for Rich to do CoP so they could downgrade ;)

It's quite steady in good connies! Much easier than diesel power for something else that's similarly sharp in the pass.
-
I vote Ty to be considered World's Climbing Heritage and protected and funded to give us more joy.
He is still amazing. The level of movement control is mindblowing.
-
I think Corridors is too easy for 8a. 36 Chambers is dependent on height/beta. It's probably 8a for Ty but it's definitely no harder than 7c+ for me.

There is a stand that goes at 7C+ which is in the video, the sit is 8B+.

I haven't been up to Elephunk, seen it in the flesh, I have not felt the holds but it looks piss.
All the footage I've ever seen of it is of someone making it look fucking piss.
I need some context, like the footage of Font 8b climber Unclesomebody failing on it for two days after Tyler walks up it dead casual.

It'd take uncle 2 days to do the 7b+ stand

It's not 8B in my opinion but apparently some really struggle with it. Arjan has done Gecko Asssis, La Tajine and countless other 8B's in Font and finds Elephunk really hard.

It's good to see just the raw footage where you can hear the scrape of nail on rock, how hard he's trying - controlling breathing (or not). Atmospheric.

Great video, love to see the process of him working it.
Why do filmmakers feel the need to burst all the built up tension by putting up V14/V15 FA just before the successful ascent? Is there a perceived need for this? In my opinion it's much more satisfying as a viewer for the name/grade to be faded in just after top out.
Could you imagine if you were watching The Usual Suspects and just before he walks out a big flashing banner said "Kaiser Soze"...

This is also my pet hate, which bizarrely seems to have become standard practice. Load of footage of buildup and attempts, then flash the name of the problem onscreen just as the guy (or gal) pull his (or her) arse off the ground on the successful ascent, just to completely shatter any sense of tension or uncertainty which has been built up.

True dat - is very annoying.
The only exception being "Flash Attempt" which leaves the will they/won't they in touch.

Yeah, I can deal with Flash Attempt - as you say, the outcome is still unknown.

C'mon you curmudgeonly old so and so's.. they're usually 2-3 min long - and 95% of the time the problem is done - the 'send' is done at the last part of the video - and usually is the one that starts at the beginning of the problem again...

Although you do expect the send footage to arrive eventually, it is still nice to be teased a little and have some doubt. They could throw in a few curve balls, and show the full climb, with you expecting them to do it, only to find they punter off at the top.
Maybe it's better because it's more relatable to actually climbing. When you're at a stage when you know you can do something and the send is (practically) imminent, but is this attempt the one??
-
Enjoyed the video. I presume this is a sandstone boulder that has tumbled through ninety degrees, the vertical orientation of the strata makes for an cool-looking problem.
I wonder if Dai chopped down the several trees (fresh stumps clearly visible) to make the problem possible?
-
I agree about the suspense thing, I really thought he was going to do it on that earlier go and was routing for him, then he dropped it. Then it announces when he does it, totally takes all the tension out of the film.
Its the new driving to the crag.
-

Albeit with out the tension build-up, but then there probably wasn't any given the pedigree of the climber who once burnt Alex Megos off The Joker. :clown:

In what way is putting the name of a problem up at the start of the footage of said problem shattering any sense of tension?
-

Maybe I'm being stupid in stating what I consider to be obvious but I'll explain myself.....
Its an attempt, and one that has clearly failed, at a light-hearted joke (clown emoticon in play) as in that video you flashed up the name of the problem just before you did them, something you have agreed with others that you don't like when this is preceded by a number of failed attempts. I made it clear that this is not valid comparison though since you do not precede the ascents with any failed attempts so no tension could be built up, thats where the "Albeit with out the tension build up" comes into play.

I am aware of its historical lacking haha
More historically interesting is this :
http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/Bouldering_History1.0.html (http://www128.pair.com/r3d4k7/Bouldering_History1.0.html). and tbh considering we just wanted to make a light hearted re imagining I think the look isn't to far off :p
The look is not far off , I guess that depends on weather you've ever open a book on climbing history. Flat caps are 1940/1950s working class climbers rather 1915s upper middle class.

cerca 1890 flat caps in the Lakes bouldering.
anyway not gona get drawn in to this any further as i say it is meant to be a light hearted re imagining, and to make people realise the lakes is one of the earliest bouldering locations 100 years on. but mainly cause it was a light hearted and fun film to make and most people are happy to look past inaccuracy for the sake of a fun film. that isn't just more normal bouldering films like I often make for people ...

Good vids. I really hope Toru is the strongest Jap! So strong. The granite looks great, but i don't think the skin would last an hour!

Saw this on Ned's vimeo, ace trad-style line with some good action.
-
Honest question...did you mean to put that in quality rather than non?
-
Yes.... It's not a great angle but the line looks quality, the problem looks quality, the cutloose is definitely quality, and a top UK boulderer rated the problem :shrug:

Cheers for this, brought back happy memories. Remember looking up at Betty Jo Yablonsky and thinking it was HVS not V0! So I led it with 2 cams ;D Didn't have any pads so didn't want to push my luck too far!
White Rastafarian looked amazing but quite distant from the main area and sadly never went in the end.
-
Good stuff :clap2:
-
Great vid, bit more fluff than I would like, but the climbing bits are good. I always fancied white rasta and slashface after reading about them in a Climbing Article is the late 80s, but didn't get on either when i was there.
-
Also agree with brainstorm being logical as a stand. Tried yellow submarine after you recomended dave. Couldn't work out how to get from matched on the hole to the crimps above. Glad you recomended it though as there was a three star 7C arete next to it that was incredible

I cut my feet and campussed. I couldn't work out anything more technical! Such a cool hole in the middle of the wall.
Yeah that arete is great, although a very sharp pebble on it!

I liked the introspection parts. From following the world cup lead competitions it's always been clear that Desgranges is as strong as anyone but that he has performance anxiety issues.

Now thankfully taken out of that naff and infuriating "Digital Feature" (whatever). Haven't watched it but assume it's good.
-
I'll be honest, I watched it and its a real tear jerker. I did wonder how he was getting on as it seemed such a terrible thing to happen at the time. Glad to see that he has got some decent quality of life back and can play with his daughter etc. Sounds like it was a real struggle and testament to his character that he's got to where he is. Can't believe he's back at work?! Amazing...

Would have preferred to see the actual footage of the FA, rather than edits from different attempts.
-
It's clearly presented as a single ascent from 2.40 on, edit breaks might be cameraman moving around cave to get out of way. The words 'First Ascent' suggest that, at least.
-
Am I the only one who's always on the lookout for a cheeky dab whenever I watch a first ascent video?
-

Yeah that's the part i mean really, thought it was a pity they couldn't show a single ascent from the start to finish, guess like you say the camera work may not have been made this possible.
-
Good stuff, Sharma's still a beast. Surprised the rock is good as it looks flakey as fuck.
-
Frankly, it looks rubbish. When he pulls on at the start of the FA he puts a foot lock in and a pile of rubble falls out of the crack! I'm sure the reports said it broken during the repeat attempts. I bet it keeps breaking.
-
What's with his new self-facilitating media node approach too?
-

Yeah i agree, not as good as the original Witness the fitness for me, that broke too didn't it? Could have at least made it look like one go though, kept the chalk bag on, kept his trousers the same etc.
-
I think it looks good, we have a lot of chossy lime in this country but always climbs well
-
I must have been watching a different vid, I thought it looked really good!
-
Limestone caves at the bottom of cliffs generally aren't immaculate but it looks worthwhile to me.
-
At least the fixed rope access should prevent accumulation of sheepshit.

Did you see that roof crack!!?? Can't believe Sharma missed the opportunity on that one.

-
What was wrong with Western eyes. As I hope to get on it soon and that looked similar to the way I've seen it on other vids.
Just wondering like!
:please:
-
The problem doesn't walk off rightwards or step back on to the other Boulder once you reach the top break. It's got a move off the top break that allows you to reach the top ie directly where you'd think the problem finished
-
Next people are going to start traversing off West Side Story
-
Next people are going to start traversing off West Side Story
Does that mean I can take the tick? ;)
-
Western Eyes has a big crack about 2ft right of the apex of the arete doesn't it? Are we now saying we're making legbreaking topouts of non-eliminate lines eliminate now?
-
Its pretty easy up there what ever you do. finishing up the arete is more satisfying tho. more dismayed by his sequence on the rest of it tbh, but you can't help being tall.

Kai Webler does some great vids of the bouldering we have here in the North East US. There is so much good stuff, worth thinking about as a trip from the UK in my opinion if you come in fall, you can guarantee blue skies and cheap accommodation in upstate NY close to most of it.
His latest vid is pretty good.

Nothing particularly special about the video, but the problem looks incredible:

I could do V7, in theory, with much working. So it is quite inspiring :)

Hmm, if you turn the sound off it's just another bouldering edit. I was going to say the soundtrack is inappropriate but then I guess most are.
-
The production in that is superb, well shot and graded, really nicely done apart from the split screen - splitscreens are immediately confusing for the brain and a shitty production technique. Not so much of a fan of the soundtrack either, could see what they were trying but actually detracted from the quality of the climbing footage.
Got to get myself over to HCR at some point, looks amazing.

Whats the Ark and whats the Experiment? I thought that was awful.
It's blokes scuttling and scuffing up rocks, why can't we hear that instead, I completely sick of bouldering videos these days...

Totally agree, didn't even make it to the end. Too many close up shots of climbers and problems, no perspective. Too few continuous shots of climbing and too many single moves. Terrible soundtrack, no idea what they were going for with that...

I don't want to claim much, but click on my website and you will I am making an effort ;) But surely I can complain... so I now know what the Ark is, maybe the experiment was to see how far they could push the genre of bouldering video somewhere dark and private. :-\

Just out of interest why did you bother to watch / comment on it? I wasn't a fan of the video but respect the effort and can see some thought and creativity went into it. What do you think makes a good bouldering video? It would be good to know.

You can't (reasonably) comment on something if you haven't watched it. :shrug:
I've written before that I think there is little point in denigrating or commending here on UKB people's efforts in producing and making freely available short bouldering/climbing videos when they are not a UKB regular as the people who have spent the time and effort making them are highly unlikely to read the critique/feedback. If someone is that bothered to write something after having watched a video the most appropriate place to provide feedback is on the YouTube/Vimeo page itself rather than here because that way the people who made it might read it. If on the other hand they feel cheated out of a few minutes of their lives watching crap videos and are sick of them then there is an obvious solution (which you have suggested).

:) you're right there, my videos are only for beta and local info etc. They have no pretensions to be art. The video in question attracted my interest I guess because of the title, the word 'experiment'

I have to disagree, theres a 'quality' 'non quality' issue going on and without a place for critique and debate how would anyone know where to stick the videos.
-
Someone has obviously put a lot of effort in to making it but personally I prefer videos with minimal editing/cutting and long uninterrupted sequences.
Some of the best / iconic bouldering videos made contain split screen, bits of choppy editing, multiple camera angles, close ups medium shots etc. It would all be a bit dull otherwise. its not much of a critique to say I'm sick of bouldering videos these days.

Is it really an on-going issue? I don't think it is.....unless someone doesn't like a video posted in the 'Quality' thread. Unfortunately what constitutes quality/non-quality will always be subjective (as with all 'art', even if there is a majority consensus).
Personally I don't bother making much of a distinction between the quality/non-quality threads (mainly because if I think something is shit I tend not to bother posting it), but having followed the forum for some time what I generally see happening is that the non-quality is where people post their own (or other registered UKB users) videos. For example Dave Mason's videos are often posted to the 'Non-quality' thread, despite being well made.
If you want to have a discussion about the intricacies of making 'quality' home-made videos then there is no doubt some mileage in having such a thread (as an example see the discussion from between GuyVG and Fiend from here onwards (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,4660.msg518434.html#msg518434)) and there are a number of users who have experience and have produced some very fine videos so its probably worth starting such a thread.
I just see no mileage in posting on UKB what amounts to "That was shit" because, as I wrote and you appear to have missed, the people who made it aren't going to read that feedback (if feedback was the intention of making the comment in the first place). This is after all UKBouldering not ARKBouldering and the member demographics tend to reflect that (with a few notable exceptions).

While qualitative judgements are being made and consensus reached, as you suggest, then of course it is an ongoing issue, i think you are contradicting yourself.
I'm not really interested in a discussion about the intricacies of making ' quality' home made videos.
I posted a question initially, as to what the words 'Ark' and 'experiment' meant, then I grumbled...jeez, I though this was a forum.
-
Do the bouldering problems come in pairs in ARK?

...jeez, I though this was a forum.
And we've just seen a pretty good example of what a forum is meant to do.

Its also amazing what people like...now you tell me what is quality about that second vid? I'll tell you that there is nothing experimental about it, it's over produced, the production values, what do people mean when they say this, you can have as much of it as you like, but if the idea or content is poor it means nothing, it leaves us with something saccharine a kind of simulacrum of the real thing, (now that is a good video) I'm interested in video that captures or represents the experience of bouldering, not a video by someone with production facilities but nothing much to say/film.

I haven't said I like the videos by Mathieu, to be honest I'm not sure myself.
I do think that they are unusual, beautifully shot unedited.
As for taste, it is always subjective.
My wife hates my taste in music, but I can't help that I like dnb.
As an art teacher there are always contrasting views when trying to evaluate creative things. Be it a drawing, painting, video.
That's what makes things interesting.
Andy w I'm not telling you what to think.

This is great, it looks absolutely freezing but everybody seems to be having a great time.
Mirrored sunglasses obviously make you climb harder.
Maybe that's where I've been going wrong.
Dance moves, good vibes with music, a bit of yelling.

There's a lot going for this 8)
On a side note I was disappointed with dungaree man, as the dungarees were not used on the "send."

Still totally blown away by Isaac Buckley's Glory Days masterpiece. The film has everything, powerful dungarees, odd socks, cooking, v13 climbing, power screaming, awesome soundtrack, ritualistic hand washing, historic significance of the route and the timing of the final "oh my god" just before the music kicks off again - to have choreographed that whole climb around that brief pause was simply brilliant. And what footage. Never seen anything like it - an extreme close up of the climber in action, performing in his bubble. Brilliant.
I hope it's ok to share these feelings here.

Feel free to share. I think he's great.
His other stuff is pretty good too. Makes me so psyched to go back.

YES! So good! Though I reckon it should be in Quality Chuffing Vids even if just for that footage of Dave Mac on Chemin de Fer. Great to see him talking like a mortal about hoping to onsight it and the elation at the top after a proper fight. That is the sort of footage that gets me psyched!! Cheers for posting Luke!

Although on second thoughts it actually looks more like DBS into Dialectics. But on steroids.
Either way I think I've finally found a contender for my first 8B! And then afterwards the extension (FA?) continuing left.

Probably not. But I need to see his name written with kanji. Firstborn dragon or firstborn prosperity are my guesses
-
I like this Indian Creek stuff, but am confused why they put chalk everywhere.
-
I wonder if they're trying to counter initial sandiness?
-
I think that, but also doe to the coarseness of the stone it "accepts" a layer of chalk more readily than other rock types. And due to the colour it stands out more.
-
I reckon it's just become the done thing without anyone stopping to think. Originally, I'd guess it came from the hard lines you see in videos accumulating a lot of chalk over lots of goes. And I suppose they don't get washed by rain that often. But ime on sandstone more chalk does not reduce sandiness.
-
I was always of the opinion that chalk doesn't help friction of the rock at all at all, it only helps absorb moisture. If it's sandy then surely it just needs a good brush. I agree that it looks like the colour of the rock would show up chalk more clearly. But these guys seem to really go to town, painting the whole arete etc. Actually, i seem to remember in the first video they talk about 'chalking up' a problem. Seems odd to me.

Just watched this and thought it was odd that it just consists of 10 minutes of sound and a black screen building up to footage of fourmis rouge. Then watched it again with the curtains drawn and all the lights off, cranked the brightness on my monitor all the way up to 11 and if I squint I can make out some other problems. Anyone else spotted them?
-
Agreed on the darkness front but I enjoyed it still. Think quirky is the word I'd use to describe it.

Blocheads. Available for download on 1st December according posing productions on fudgebook today.
Have seen it a couple of times... more of a film about the characters and bouldering scene in the UK, than a bouldering flick. Still some very inspiring footage of bouldering all the same and some very amusing moments too. I enjoyed it.

Yep. Definitely a shift from the norm when it comes to bouldering films and a refreshing shift too. I don't believe I heard a single dub step riddem throughout either..

Zero - also:

- there is a distinct lack of link ups and eliminates
- no Ben or Malcolm

There is a still shot of some people in a car. And a cartoon sequence of people in cars.

Disclaimer: I haven't watched it, and from the trailers it seems absolutely fantastic.
Anyway, the last video seems to feature the so called "Magic Crashpads" scene: climber walks all alone towards the boulders at an obscure and esoteric location, where he finds no other climbers, but enough pads to cover a rough landing.
;D
-
They're not pads! They're geneticaly engineered crag dogs - coming soon to your local climbing store.

That's what I was thinking when Ricky Bell was on this big Fairhead arête, and they had his voice in the background going on about how it was such a brilliant wold place and you felt isolated when you were down there. The pad stack was about 10 thick. 10 Dominators thick. Biggest stack I've ever seen.

Shouldn't there a k in the middle, "ch" - is a ch as in cherry.
Anyway - that looks like a right grind. Good effort.

"Look it's Super Hans"- my girlfriend on seeing old photo of Al Manson. :lol:
I smiled at the bit when Ricky Bell says something like "plus, bouldering's great 'cos you can go out on your own and do it". Cut straight to him bouldering above ~9 pads.
Fuck, Will beat me to it.
climber walks all alone towards the boulders at an obscure and esoteric location,
Walking to the crag is the new driving to the crag. We've the manufacturers of handheld gimbal-based stabilisers to thank for that.

Bought blocheads. Thought it was good, but the narrator's voice grated on me and sounded very trans world sports.

Yes! Trans world sports! Knew it reminded me of something. Also, I wasn't that impressed I'm sorry to say.

I can see why you'd think that. But we have a semi-communal pad stash that we move around down there. Best bouldering venue on these islands | worst landings on these islands.
-

Agree entirely, I was thinking 'country file' but I see the transworld sport thing. In the end I kind of wondered who the intended audience was...I enjoyed the bouldering bits and the bouldering talky bits, the rest left me bored and faintly embarrassed.

Thinking a bit more about this I realise, I was wrong, it's not a bad film at all. It's a documentary and as such its not a bad one. I'm just old and cynical and not easily impressed.
-
I was really dissapointed with Blocheads. If it had been 30 mins long it would probably have been ok, but at an hour it was flabby, disjointed and repetative.
I feel bad saying that as Rman is on the credits. But I really thought it was surprisingly rubbish.
-
Saw Blocheads at the weekend: was initially very excited to see it as I had really enjoyed the trailer for it.
Unfortunately I have to say I was pretty disappointed, thought it was a great idea but it just didn't work for me. I found the "trans-world sport" commentator strange and I really didn't know who the film was aimed. If aimed at climbers then it really didn't need the cheesy female commentator voice which tried to "explain" things to non-climbers.
There were some interesting bits. I really liked the Burnley Boulder Bash, Jerry Peel and Jerry Moffat stuff and Dan Varian came across well. Just thought there was so much more bouldering history to be looked at and also I thought it could have looked at the development of North Wales bouldering. To be fair I guess this would have made it a fairly lengthy film.
I also thought that the blocheads extras were almost as good as the film!

-
slightly :offtopic:
But at 13:48 in Blocheads, it shows Dan climbing Hobbie Noble for approximately 2 seconds. I was just wondering in any other footage of this problem has surfaced anywhere? After seeing it flicker for those precious seconds, I was half expecting it to be the climax of the film, but alas.
-
Watched Blocheads at the weekend and I enjoyed it, the narrator's voice was really weird so I didn't get that bit but the climbing and locations were filmed beautifully in my opinion. Fairhead looked stunning in particular. I think we're a bit spoilt with drone footage these days and give-a-fuck-meters are set too high because of it, in this case I thought the drone shots were really good and done well. I also laughed quite a bit which is a nice change from more serious films (Varian nailing himself multiple times in the same spot, great timing)
So I'd recommend it, I was drunk though.
-
I enjoyed Blocheads... a bit. Unfortunately all the footage I was most interested in flashed up on the screen for 5 seconds in between segments. The actual coverage of the problems it did show was a bit emotionless and anti-climatic.
The whole thing seemed a bit flat.

The voiceover appears to have been done by an American rent-a-voice called Sheila Hart. https://www.voices.com/people/shetalks
...which explains the very hard to place accent.
A strange choice of narrator for a film about a niche counter culture. Like Davo said, makes you wonder who it's aimed at.
-
Well that has piqued my interest
Sheila Hart: Accents
Australian, British, North American, Spanish, US New York (New Jersey, Bronx, Brooklyn), US South (Deep South, Dixie, Delta), US Upper Midwest (Fargo, Minnesota)
I'm hoping it's not in 'British', when 'Bronx', 'Fargo' and 'Dixie' were available.
-
I haven't seen Blockheads*, but given the option you've got to take Bronx haven't you? I'd love to hear a climbing vid voiced over by Vic Reeves as Kinky John, or the Hart To Hart butler "it was moider".
*Al Lee must have been gutted when all the promo material was delivered with the wrong spelling.
-
I've not seen it yet but is it too late to request a DVD extra-style cut with an updated commentary?
Could add a "fuhgeddabouddit" when the dab mentioned in the Bring Out Your Dabs thread happens.
-
I'd be keen for a "I hid my pistole in my tooopperware" style Vic Reeves voiceover. My Gaaaahd.
-
Shame you can't select voiceovers - I'd like Mr Gumby from Monty Python, or Bob Fleming from the Fast Show.
-
John Redhead.

I can only assume the narration was a failed attempt at irony. Other than that I quite liked it, b/c: (i) I was happy to see a little more than just bouldering pr0n, which can be good, but it's hardly like there isn't a stack of online free stuff filling that niche; (ii) Fair Head gets a well deserved spotlight; (iii) Peak grit coverage is almost non-existent. (Yes, it is great, but good to see venues like Tintagel, Bonehill, Dove etc.)
-
I'm just pleased to see my stag do finally accorded its rightful status as a seminal moment in the history of competition bouldering.

Regards the north Wales section of Blocheads, bearing in mind the literally hundreds of great FA's that have been/still are getting done almost weekly by a talented and psyched bunch over the last few years in the lead-up to the new guide, the n.Wales section of the film is an embarrassment and somewhat typical of how media often fails to accurately represent a climbing scene.
Robins, Nodder, Doyle and a scene of other prolific and talented locals. We could have had amazing footage of Snapdragon, Isles of Wonder and many other UK classics and recent Welsh FAs in great locations. Instead, bar for some very brief clips of Crafnant, the film-maker almost exclusively concentrates on someone not climbing something fairly shit which is too hard for him and that may never have been done. A bizarre choice of person and problem. Although very apt that it shows him not climbing something.
-
Well, it was fairly asymmetric tour of UK venues and protagonists. I'm not sure it should've tried to be otherwise. Though a section on someone not doing a possibly non existent problem seems an odd thing to have made the cut, I grant you. Despite my previous comment about the Peak, the footage of Ned Zep was perhaps the best of the lot—I would've traded those sections.

-
Nice - strong scenes.
Am I allowed to critique? I often think with your vids that it would be nice to hear some of the sounds of the climber, the music kind of makes me feel a bit detached from the events. I think there was a previous one with Mina and the last problem had the live audio and it was the best bit and really allowed me to connect with Mina's attempts on the problem.

Agreed! I sometimes do that, like in the Bewilderness video etc. I was going to experiment with no music when I go to Font to see if that develops a nice atmosphere i.e. birds and cursing! We'll see!
You got a bit of that on Ammagamma and the others I didn't actually whoop, I don't think.
-
Some venues can be pretty quiet but I found the soundscape in the Grampians amazing, it'd be nice to hear it. Herzog really nails it in the Kachoong sequence (single shot!!!) in Scream of Stone.
-
That's a pretty amazing sound JB! The birdsong at the Arapalies camp ground made me miss the sounds of the British countryside. My Aussie GF at the time said the opposite - the noise of the Kookaburras and Galahs was special to her. Guess it shows how evocative and important sound is. Gonna have to watch that Herzog movie now haha
-
I was really smitten by the carolling of the Australian Magpie, made lying awake in the early hours with jet lag a real treat. Will be taking some recording kit next time...

Last one from our trip down under in the summer. This one goes in here just for the standard of each problem. Flock Hill is immense!
-
Excellent visuals, excellent problems.
But
Its as james said last time I too feel detatched from the climber whilst watching your videos. I almost feel as though I'm watching a music video rather a climbing video. Best part again was when you were grunting away. I can't speak for others but i feel the failing to climb a problem is as important a part of the climb as the final success. And definitely real life audio too. Without it your audio sense is detatched from the visual.
Anyway thats just my thought.
-
I actually really enjoy this aspect of Dave's videos, he gets it to work somehow. Horses for courses.
-
I'm generally in the camp of supporting some crag noises during vids rather than just silence with a soundtrack over it.
However in practical terms anyone shooting video with a bog standard DSLR/mirrorless as an afterthought (i.e. mainly shooting stills) is unlikely to have a decent external mic rig, picking up tons of wind noise, or if filmed from a distance no climbing noises at all, in which case a compromise has to be made somewhere.
-
Yea like i said. I can't speak for everyone. And also agree with what dave said.
-
Thanks for the feedback. I had already made this before other feedback and so wasn't going to change it. I agree Haydn but sometimes it just doesn't work. When I make my videos I watch the whole thing with no music to start with, if I feel it works I try to keep music to a minimum but often it just doesn't flow. The camera picks up conversations which would sound crap and swearing etc at times which I don't want to put on videos.
I also like to see failed attempts but if you have failed attempts in a video that has 5/6 problems in it then it ends up being too long for our short attention spans. I also don't always film all attempts and so end up with very few failed goes. When I make a video of harder ascents or even just one climb I try to get some failed attempts in definitely.
I agree with the comments though and when making my next videos I will definitely keep this stuff in mind.
Cheers guys

But
Its as james said last time
"Mention me in your tweets..."
I feel I should add that the sound point was just one thing I wanted to mention -other than that I really enjoy Dave's vids. I think one of the main reasons for this is because it's obvious the climbing is more important than the filming. Also, I'm always impressed by the quality of the free-to-use music you find. Enjoyed this one, thanks for sharing Dave.
:goodidea: An alternative to recording the actual sounds could be to add other ones on later. Bruce Lee and adult films should provide all the appropriate noises you'll ever need and I believe you can use 2 second samples without infringing copyright. ;D ;D

Isabelle Faus on the wheel of chaos.
My new favourite in the subgenre of bouldering vids set to agressive rap music, knocking the Jimmy Web climbing livin' large down to second place. ( https://vimeo.com/138381117 )
-
I do love that livin' large edit. The clip from 20-29 seconds is the best thing I've seen in a climbing video in ages.
-
Faus' video was absolutely terrible in my opinion.
-
It was a good "record" video, in that it showed the route being climbed. but artistically/interestingly was pretty dull.
-
Faus' video was absolutely terrible in my opinion.
Agreed nibs, nothing worse than seeing a shit video of a pretty epic bit of climbing.

Just watched Uncharted Lines so thought I'd share some views...
Good points - Quality camera work (as you'd expect), The Zimbabwe footage in particular is really spectacular. First film I've watched for a while where I was blown away by the look of some of the problems! Was missing someone struggling on soething but this came through at the end with Daniel Woods sending his Creature From The Black Lagoon.
Bad points - Paul Robinson isn't particularly inspiring to listen to, Daniel Woods freaks me out and not enough Dave Graham. Jimmy Webb is cool though...
Well worth a few fuck alls in my opinion....

It's just occurred to me that Paint it Black is basically a steeper version of Bus Stop in the pass.

Looks like he might've done it without the foot switch thing, which IIRC is supposed to be the crux.

I really dislike those jump cuts that save my bored eyes from watching 3 seconds of footage that would prove he did the problem. I've got Walter Murch on the phone he hates he too.
Can someone explain why this is done? Webb isn't the only offender.
I'm not talking about dissolving at a rest or speeding a section up whilst someone shakes out etc which of course I understand.

I just assumed it was a glitch in the matrix to be honest....
I can't believe that was brought up and no one mentioned the 2nd problem being filmed in PORTRAIT!!!!!! the most henious of crimes...

Yes, I know about Nicole, but his ascent seems to be surrounded by uncertainty.
The story I know is that he dabbed his spotter on the final move, but never did it again.

strangest thing i've ever watched
-
Indeed.
Borderline Non-Quality.
Please let whispered route names be a one-off mistake.
Also, same for random floating dust added in post processing.
Very little (interesting) talk about the routes, just some weird wafflings.
Strange cuts between day/night sessions, which whilst technically clever, were just odd.
Still. Good climbing.
-
There's a brief shot from 4.17 inside a slot canyon that I'm sure is in Arizona?
-
Yup, pretty certain (99%) that's Antelope Canyon near Page, AZ (where the most expensive photo ever sold was taken).
Strange addition. Adds nothing to the video and could achieve similar shots in about a dozen places in and around Cedarberg (third (?) crack in Wolfberg for example, but that would involve an hour's walk).
-
where the most expensive photo ever sold was taken
If you believe Lik, which most don't. Gursky's Rhein II is generally accepted to hold that title. If you don't think much of that, do some reading on Richard Prince's Spiritual America which is #2.
-
I'm sure it's Antelope - I was there last summer. Presumably they already had the footage.
As to the whole video, they clearly had some great footage ... before they began fucking around with it.
-
Its really hard to make a shit video of hard climbing in Rocklands, actually impressive that they managed to.

Interesting, will have a look at Spiritual America (edit - but not at work though!!). Rhein II never worked for me.

Just discovered this. Pure class. Klem down climbs Jacadi and then does La Puce at around 7 minutes.
Good encouragement at the beginning too ;)
-
Have you not seen that before Mase, how did this pass you by? Classic. I presume that jacadi linkup is impossible now after the starting hold on jacadi broke, but still that linkup must have been absolutely savage back in the day. It's on my list under "most ridiculous things I have seen in climbing videos" list.
It's from the "Climbing At The Limit Of Human Performance" dvd, which also has that amazing emotional landscapes bit, amongst other Maltatal stuff from back in the day:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Od5N3XYtB4U

:clap2:
Need to get here soon
-
I have seen the Emotional Landscapes one before just never the Bleau one. Klem = legend!
-
Along with Fred Rouhling, I find Klem the most endlessly re-watchable climber there is, though for opposite reasons. With Fred, it's his air of looseness and playfulness whilst pulling on hideous holds; with Klem, it's the sense of incredible emotional / intellectual intensity. I always get these odd flashbacks to Klaus Kinski films whenever I watch Klem. Like I could imagine him going insane pursuing an impossible project in a rainforest, training jaguars to haul a huge boulder out of the swamp onto the top of a hill, trying to stop monkeys from french-starting. A Klem bouldering project film made by Werner Herzog would be the dream.
-

I always feel super motivated when i've seen a Klem video. You can really sense the joy he experiences from climbing

FWIW, The Chieftain, which Steve does at the end of the video is not the same as the thing I was trying at Earl Seat which is described here:
http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,25204.msg541130.html#msg541130
Rob Fenton did a problem up the right of the slab which is steady away until you're established on the good foothold and eyeing up the top. Rob then used the crack and jumped, presumably to the jug which Steve crimps the edge of to move up and left. The Chieftain starts on the left and makes hard moves right to get established in the good foothold and then improves on Rob's finish by hard and reachy moves to get the top without recourse to putting your hand in the crack. Steve's top move looks like a gripper! The concave nature of the wall means you can pick up some nasty grazes from pushing away from it mid-fall!
I'm not dissing Steve's problem, which looks like it adds some good hard moves, using some impressively non-existant pebbles and crimps, just pointing out to those who might be interested that there is still very much something to do here in climbing the left rib and wall direct to the obvious slot. It's still worth the visit as I think this left direct would make the more logical problem.
Good effort, Steve. Glad to see something get done up there!

They gave Tetris 7b+, I'm interested on a vid should you give a problem the grade you believe it to be or go with guidebook and logbook consensus etc.
There may be others in there different but that one stood out. Also like the fact they tell you where stuff is. Little thing but I like it.
Good work!
-

I don't think there are any hard and fast rules. They thought it was 7b+ so graded it as such. They obviously have a huge amount of experience of climbing grit problems in this style. The bad thing about logbooks is that the grade can't be changed by anybody other than the moderator. Hence we get wrong grades being perpetuated for years. I guess just because somebody logged a problem on the UKC database doesn't mean they agreed with the grade. Maybe they inwardly disagreed but because there was no option to change it they just took the grade anyway?
-
I think my problem is I am overly strong at certain types of problems, I thought Tetris was super soft but mainly because it suits me. Still 7a+s out there I can't do. However all the guide books and votes for grade on UKC for example give it 7c or soft 7c. I feel if I put a video together and put 7b down for it I would look like a tool but that is probably where it sits for me in the problems i've done maybe 7b+ at the most.
Still the hardest I have ever tried on a problem was The Gutter at the Roaches. Gets 7a+ but definitely felt harder than 7bs and 7b+s I've done. I can't give that 7c in a video and down grade everything I felt was easy.
Just want to point out I'm not having a go, I do think Tetris is soft at 7c and from talking to very experienced people it does seem to be a common feeling. It's just think it's interesting. If I gave my grade list of problems it wouldn't be anything like the guidebooks.
-
The Gutter gets 7B in one of the guides, can't remember which one.
I thought The Gutter felt hard for a couple of goes when I was working out a decent sequence, then quite easy once I'd found the knack. There were four of us and we all used completely different sequences.
I've had a couple of sessions on Tetris and haven't got anywhere.

Same here. Throwing some heavy bangers over climbing footage does not necessarily a good film make. Must have cost em a bomb to clear all those tracks too.
Tetris I can well imagine could feel 7b+ if it suits you and in good nick. Felt 7c ish to me, but I only bother driving to the roaches on nice days, and as soon as the sun is out on that block all bets are off.

This made me chuckle. If the 7A+ felt 7C, then that's what it felt. We're all inclined to knock things down a peg, but not up. Psychologist must have a term for this bias?
-
I'm not really questioning the grades I think bouldering grades in general are so personal. The only way it works in my head is a list from easy to hard in the order I found them.
I have 2 7cs on my logbook Tetris and Bens Wall at RHS Neither in my head are 7c. Tetris may be the hardest thing I've done but not the hardest I've had to work and I did it when I was out of shape so again makes me think suits me and that grades are all a bit silly.
My question is more on videos I guess. On the little vids i've put together I've just taken the consensus grade from guide books etc and left it at that. There are definitely problems that I don't believe to be the guidebook grade but I wouldn't put them on film as the grade I felt they are. Should I/we?
Also yeah really like the film but the music was too much for me. turned it off and watched with other music.
-
The Lawsons are enormous you know.
-

You could just leave the grades out- people can easily look them up if they're interested.
Cuts down on titling work too. ;)
-
It's a fair point but I quite like having names and grades and actually like the fact that vid had crag on it as well.
I still look up more details on problems I like the look of but like having an idea in advance!

-
That's the problem filming professional climbers eh? Not only are they so good that they make most things look uninterestingly easy, they're less likely to be prepared to be filmed on anything that they won't unless it's their "could be the hardest thing ever" project.
Thirtytwosrule: I meant show the problem name and location but not the grade.
-

I am dealing with this ALL the time doing development. We've got a load of youngsters who all work at the wall ad are getting stronger an stronger and don't know it. They're quick do downgrade, but no one EVER upgrades stuff. Somehow I don't think that means they're all soft.

That's the way I did it too. There are just two undercuts you can use.

I'm pretty sure Traphouse is a low start into Gourmandise Raccourci, so I think the video is correct.

Description is wrong, Traphouse is basically the right/direct finish to gourmandise, Traphouse Raccourci (as done in the vid) is starting from the higher undercuts

*Specifically*, I should have clarified, in being somehow indicative of a poor video. Are there videos out there that you haven't watched specifically because the cover is a photoshop fail?

I don't think that's HDR i think it's cut out so that the word Torridon can appear behind the mountains.

They look better than most average bum shuffles. Even Welsh ones.

Sometime in the distant past I got puntered for slagging the Welsh bum shuffles. Thought Lancashire was a safe bet in lieu. TBF, there are some good ones. Can we have a top 5 UK bum shuffles?
1. Fear of a slopey planet
2. Green traverse
3. Anesthesia (presumed)
4. Slopey traverse (Lynmouth)
5. Something at Whitehouses
-
Oh, I agree. I love a good bum shuffle. Just thought it was an odd comparison.
Top five bum shuffles is tricky. Bum shuffles are so much more enjoyable on the home patch - I mostly steer clear of any and all traverses on a trip. I'm probably missing out.

Sometime in the distant past I got puntered for slagging the Welsh bum shuffles. Thought Lancashire was a safe bet in lieu. TBF, there are some good ones. Can we have a top 5 UK bum shuffles?
1. Fear of a slopey planet
2. Green traverse
3. Anesthesia (presumed)
4. Slopey traverse (Lynmouth)
5. Something at Whitehouses
Please....some of those are positively highball.

Pushing the shuffle limits. Clarification required. Bum shuffles must have a substantial component of their difficulty tied up in keeping arse/legs from floor; some sideways action; preferably with lips and high heels. Sounds a bit rude now I read it back. First time (as a noob) I saw someone on FOASP I burst out laughing. When I got round to doing it I really enjoyed it.

Back on topic, the Torridon one is great, thanks for posting. Book / cover etc.

Have you seen BSMA? Because you've basically just described it.
-
Back off topic.... Oooh! My problem made it onto someone's best of list (Slopey Traverse). TBF it might not meet the criteria at times but the pebble height can vary by meters so at times it can take bum dragging to new extremes.
Always used to enjoy the long slopey affair just under Jerry's Traverse at Cratcliffe.
There's a venue in Font that comprises almost entirely of bum drags, (can't remember name?), should you like that sort of thing, although why on earth you would choose to whilst in Font is beyond me... (Top international arse scrapes anyone?).

This is good.

+1. Really liked that. Don't let the cover pic put you off Andy!

Not that I've spent much time on either, but I suspect The Mission would be a much more likely prospect for me than Malc's, need to get back to some form and have a go later in the year.
-
See you there Chris! It's great having two problems of such contrasting styles right next to each other. I only opened an account on The Mission last year, so I'm predicting eventual success in 2022 if the Malc's siege is anything to go by.

Great video, really captures the feelings with projecting. The final words give pause for thought too.

agreed. really enjoyed the that.
Comes across as a very likeable lad too.
Anyone got any stories/gossip from when he was over here tearing it up?

The future - boulder/highball/trad combination.
The slap to ledge/break looks scary.
Inspirational come back from injury.
-
The slap to ledge/break looks scary.
Funny I though that move looked completely hammed up.
-
Future? An approach used in quite a few grit routes, for many years.
-
At one point he says it must be one of the hardest trad routes in the world. I don't see how that can possibly be true, no matter how hard the opening boulder problem is. The ledge from which hangs to haul the gear really isn't that high at all and from there its a couple of moves to a good break where the gear looks solid and easy to place. Of course, this is all written from the safety of my armchair ...
-
Maybe the large volumes of SNOT in my head are altering my trad/empathy feeling centres - but that film didn't really do anything for me. Sorry....
-
I mean, I'm happy he's back on the wagon and enjoying his climbing after injury, but what a load of OTT shite that vid was. Though not quite as over-egged as the Primin Beetle vids.
-
My thoughts exactly. Bernd will always be a hero for me as the Momentum Video Magazine parts are incredible. That, however, was about as exciting as a tepid, soggy teabag because of the whack angles used, and being able to gain very little understanding of how hard it is.
-
His vid Memento from years ago was the same. :-\
-
Does he have any sponsors? Hard to tell.
-
load of shite
-
What was wrong with it? The vid I mean. Apart from the bit about it being hard trad in a new style, which maybe gets lost in translation?
-

I liked it, and thought others might as well, obviously not.
I get the idea, but top protected with cams ends up looking like uk hard trad rather than futuristic new climbing style. Its a fair height to the break, you'd hit the ground hard if you messed things up. I'd be leg jiving if I got to this point but then I probably wouldn't be able to get off the ground.
Maybe that's why we are leaving Europe, the euros simply aren't as ballsy as ukb wads.
Product placement, how else are high level climbers going to produce and pay for the quality footage found in a lot of the vids floating around at the moment without some type of sponsorship/support. We all pay for this through buying gear and what not, it's great that these short vids are free to view.
-
I didn't think the video itself was terrible - though obviously a pretty commercial affair, despite the highly personal "return from injury" storyline - I just thought the claim that this is one of the hardest trad routes in the world was faintly ridiculous.

Yup - wasn't bad - just didn't do anything for me. Different folks etc...
-
Yeah, I definitely thought those things but wondered if it was just the edit or how it was translated that made it seem like that maybe for comercial purposes?

Bernard really missed a trick there. He could have put a bolt in higher up and waited for some snow in order to combine an additional two disciplines.

Cheers Dave / Alx, it's great you guys enjoyed it. Bit of a labour of love making sure it captured Huffy as well as I could. I was amazed how good some of the bouldering down there looked too on the Bill and at the Cuttings. It was a pretty hot day when we filmed but I bet it's mint on a quiet crisp day in the winter. The roof of 'you can go now' has some pretty grim holds on it, pretty amazing really.

By beautifully capturing the man you managed to touch on why we climb and what it gives us. Great video Dan.The grappling section was a really unexpected treat also

Thanks for the props lads, yes the footholds are dreadful. They're sloping towards the floor on a 56° board. I didn't pull on (as you can imagine) but it looked like significant amounts of body tension was required!

I've also started to shift all of my content from Vimeo to Youtube because of Vimeo's ridiculous upload rules (£50 a year minimum to be able to upload any more videos at all) so give it a follow to keep up to date with the rest of the years travels, next stop Pedriza!

Vimeo's ridiculous upload rules (£50 a year minimum to be able to upload any more videos at all)
Nice one Ben, will check out the vids and follow you. I'll second this re vimeo. There is no way I am paying them £50 so I guess its a case of putting up with the ads on youtube and the restrictions on songs playable without copyright infringement (this didn't seem to ever be an issue on vimeo) for my future vids

Would appreciate feedback on using interviews and stuff more in these last few videos. Been experimenting with it more to try and get more of a feel for the place rather than just a slideshow of boulders but it still feels odd!

100% quality from me. It shows the futility of hard bouldering and captures the mood really well.
Was so nervous that he was going to drop the top out at the end and so pleased when he did it. Also was great seeing the smiles on his mates faces as well. Bouldering maybe a solo pursuit however it is great having a team that are genuinely ecstatic when you get up something.

I managed the stand start a few months ago and then quickly turned my attention to the obvious link. I think this is the real challenge, it's such a great bit of climbing. I had to dig deep once I got to the crux, I really surprised myself as my previous attempts that session were pretty woeful.
-
Is that by one of the reservoirs in the peak?
-
You look like you pissed the last move compared to previous
-
It didn't feel like it when I got there! :no: I felt like I fell up the last bit.
That face of the boulder is so steep and the move to the lip is bloody miles. At the bottom of the face it's about 45 degrees overhanging and around 50 degrees at the top. The video really doesn't do it justice.

Yeah, you don’t see many of this type of bouldering video cut that well (Although the Pirmin Bertle-style repeated moves do creep in a bit after 3:45). Best solution I’ve seen to the “climber wearing different clothing combinations in different takes” problem too.

Is there a good approach to Clashfarquhar? I went to check it out on a wet day last year and I nearly ended up going for a swim.

Approach is tidal even though the boulders aren't. There is that steep section of cliff you need to get under on rock ledges or you are screwed. Could maybe stepkick your way up the grass to escape, but not highly recommended.
Don't want to get cut off, would be a long cold night. www.magicseaweed.com will give you tide times for Aberdeen or Stonehaven, as well as sea condition.

Approach is a bit of a mare. It was pretty much high tide when i got in and involved some sketchy climbing with pads.

Particularly poignant given his recent success on The Meltdown; I think this is a beautifully shot and edited little snapshot of Carlo Traversi and his efforts to set up a climbing gym whilst maintaining his level in climbing (although anyone else with a full time job will feel a bit :boohoo: at some points :lol:).

Shawn Raboutou and Giuliano Cameroni in Font. If the editing is not to your taste just skip to 8:10. Jaw. to. the. floor.

Insane. Only watched the section you pointed to. Blown away.

At first I wondered if it was some clever filmed backwards trick - but then he went up the other way!!!

Absurd piece of climbing
-
The Rabotou/Cameroni one won't play here for some copyright reason. I want to know what the hell goes on?
-
He reverses Karma from standing on the top to the jug, chalks up a bit, then climbs it. Easily.
-
Wow
-
He reverses Karma from standing on the top to the jug, chalks up a bit, then climbs it. Easily.
The reversing bit is really cool. It’s so smooth and controlled that it looks really like it’s reverse filmed up climbing! No sliding down and dangling off a hold etc..

It completely caught me off guard. I was sat there, happily eating peanut butter on toast, and I assumed the editor was just pissing around reversing the clip in slow motion. But then something seemed a little off and then he started chalking up, just as I realised what was happening. It was another minute before I realised I still had food in my mouth.
-
I was there the day he did that, he had never even tried karma before
-
Goodness me some people make climbing look easy.
Enjoyed the whole video tbh, nice Real Thing nostalgia as well.
-
:strongbench:

Do you mean, he hadn't been on Karma before that day, or that he downclimbed Karma and then up it after a few attempts, or is that a flash downclimb followed by a flash upclimb?

Shoes on his hands, Spidey-style IIRC

The way he downclimbs it easier than he goes up. Mental.

Ah dunno, was just his first session on the problem

Just watched the whole thing and loved it. Average camerawork, average editing, great music, mates pissing around in the forest bouldering with a sprinkling of WTF. Bingo
And not a single person was #blessed
More please.

Maybe he couldn't do the jump start?

Is it just me, or is that not surprising at all? I guess most people don't do much downclimbing.

I thought that to but was a bit worried about ‘pissing on the karma reversing bonfire’
Doylo’s vid top notch as always but I was a bit disappointed by the lack of lateness. Looked like an old school whitey on the hill there fellah

What's your hardest downclimb? (can be a back-off if it was from the very top)

It's not surprising that he might have felt fresher at the start of the climb than towards the end.
Anyway, it's dubbed "Karma 2.0" in the credits and it's only given 8B.
-
It makes sense though for this problem I suppose. You get to place your hand on the horrible sloper while hanging the finishing hold. You also get your heel sorted in advance of touching it. There's the small matter of lowering into it, but that should be easier to do because you're raising gravity as opposed to overcoming it. It's all static with no slapping.
Basically piss, but it'll make you a bit more tired for the main event of going back up.

It only felt like a 20 minute edit to me, so I must have been enjoying it.
I'm really jealous of what they've got going on over there. Good team psyche, a plethora of king lines waiting for FAs, and one of the best backdrops imaginable.

I was wondering whether the vid was more evocative for people who’d been there, but I guess you could say the same about anywhere!

Good point and it's definitely the case for me. I recognised a good number of boulders in the video, and I had even eyed up Solaris whilst climbing something just left of it.
-
Lived there for 12 months and it certainly had me wanting to return. It's just so damn remote from anywhere else though..
Great film! Loved it. Only minor gripe was he made it a bit too much about himself at the end.
-
Quality at 32.28 where he tops out through a bush. Awesome film.
-
Great video. I spent 5 days with those lads (and lasses) this summer. Absolutely brilliant scene and a real pleasure to hang out with them. In my opinion one of the best venues in the world, but it does kinda tick all the boxes for what I try and get out of bouldering!
-
Really enjoyed that. What a place! I agree that he could have been shorter without losing quality but I liked it as it is. There aren’t many people making long, watchable climbing films and anyone who’s tried to make oneor tried to get one shown at festivals in the same year as two Yosemite blockbusters knows why.

I think about this a lot. If you make a film about one area are you making a “yay that’s ours” film an “I’ve been there” film, a “look at this shitheap/ these nutters” film or a “I need to go there” film? I suppose the ideal is to make something that’s all of them depending on the viewer.
-
I loved it! Big lines and lots of psyche.
Before everyone sells up and moves over there it's worth bearing in mind that there's quite a lot of log climbing in New Zealand and what there is is very spread out. Isaac lives in Wellington, so Castle Hill is a 9 hour drive away. Not sure if that includes the 3 hour ferry. Basically like someone living in Leeds having Font as their best local venue.
-
The light is great. Scenery great. Lines look superb etc..
But it’s a great film because Isaac is so engaging and interesting. And his friends and their characters also introduced - so the film is about climbing but you care about them getting up or not because you care about the people. You can have the most incredible film production about the most amazing line in an incredible location - but that will only carry it so far and if the people involved are boring - so is the film.
Your film Mike - was great because of the characters. You got engrossed in the dude having his first lead etc... watching Fiend gibber through some choss etc. Of those people were like ‘oh this is a bit hard’ silence silence silence grunt fall off - it wouldn’t work the same.
Isaacs film also resonates because it (for me at least) contains many of the great aspects of a group bouldering day out.
-
I loved it.
What's the tune at ~25 mins when Wiz does that problem? It's really doing my head in because I know it's lurking in my music collection somewhere.

That's very impressive. I somehow imagined they all lived locally and bouldering was what you did after you'd finished shearing the sheep (my view of New Zealand may not have evolved since 1983).
I really enjoyed the film and it kept my interest throughout the 45 minutes in a lovely unforced way. I have no connection with the place or people and it's highly unlikely I'll ever go there. It goes without saying the climbing and setting look amazing.

I would go further than that and say he is one of the very few americans i can watch or listen to.
This problem looks the nuts; great that the hardest problem stateside looks so good. The latest font offering left me cold.

Paul Robinson is the other end of the scale.

Nah, woods is the other end of the scale.
On a different note, Nalle's been very quiet, this was his big project for the last couple of seasons wasn't it?
-
I think there was an insta post where he was complaining about having too short arms.
Edit: here https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsl5vfTHX1D/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=xxbzcqglzg4v

Didn’t realise Nalle was a midget.
According to Woods' facebook page he's 5' 8" and +4" (I always thought he was smaller).
La Sportiva Legends had Nalle down as 173 cm +5.5 cm (so about 5' 8" +2")

Absolutely loved this. Find it really inspiring how positive he always is and the quietness with which he does things. There doesn't seem to be any ego involved in his climbing, just a clear and calm focus. I find it really hard to enjoy falling off sometimes, but i suppose that at his level you've got to enjoy the little progresses otherwise you'd surely give up. Feeling pretty psyched now. More videos like this please!

Watched the tache video too..... :blink:
Bit too much shouting for my liking. And he looked like a man who had no dopamine at all at the end.

Blocbuster was ace - got my psyched and I ain't climbed for ages.
His forearms are immense - almost Popeye level. Waddage.
Also, I feel we should all have our own Danaan looking out for us.
-
I'm pure inspired by Takahashi's efforts. Some big numbers and some big rocks. Kintsugi; like to think I'd be screaming at the end of that. Bloody hell. Also, he climbs with such solid movement. Amazing to watch. Great vid.

Haha, thing is if they’d done something truly outrageous I might not of liked it but could dig it in an anarchistic? sense. But letting a couple of rockets off ppppffffft what next smoking gaulioses behind the bike sheds wtf 😂
-
Dem kids crazy. At least the problem still goes now if the farmer fucks off with the trailer.
-
They're all clearly reading this thread. Raboutou observes the newly minted 2 pad maximum rule (plus optional agricultural trailer).
In other news, Nalle - stung by criticism above - repeats Sleepwalker (details on the other channel).
-
In that case did anyone secretly question the chalk bag dab pre too out?
-
Combined tactics.
-
Edit - ‘bouldering bucket’ dab. Invented in America surely.
-
Wait a minute, he starts sitting ON THE WAGON?? This is a disgrace.
But yeah cool stuff otherwise....
-
Better than falling off it.
-
I hope someone does a sit start to the sit start that finishes by stepping off onto the wagon.

I was about to say, whenever I see that bloke I imagine an impressionable American who discovered climbing via Fiend’s blog and assumed that the essential components of a crushing style are a full-body orc tattoo and gabba-party-at-the-back hair styling.
When he grows up I imagine he’ll aim for the ‘doorman at Berghain’ look...

Watching Mellow vids is like going back 10 years in quality of footage and editing... but without the good bits of going back 10 years...

Mellow leading the pack as always. Their material is almost comparable to - dare I say it - that of West Coast Gimps.

what the fuck is the score with Jonny G’s stuff? Il Pirata looks like as small if not smaller holds and significantly steeper than these 8c+s? And Shadowplay doesn’t have holds. :shrug:

Just needs people to get keen and come try them, but I doubt you'd convince Cameroni, Webb, Nalle, Woods, Raboutou or any of the other people capable to come and grovel in the dirt underneath the shelter stone when you've things like these to go at in Swiss!

I think that's sort of the point, it's not meant to be hyper polished and slick; which I like. That said I agree some of the vids have definitely been a bit toss although that might be because they've a few different people doing the edits.

I think I prefer drone footage to 10mins of eating bread and chatting low quality bollocks, I get enough of those in my day-to-day life.. I watched a couple of old vids the other day (e.g. the old Petzl Rock Trip China vid) - I miss this kind of shit. Maybe I'm getting old.

I just watched the mellow film. I liked it. Comparing to West Coast Gimps, however, is way off the mark. Nobody got arrested, nobody's car broke down, nobody climbed anything in a mask. Back around.

The greatest bouldering film ever made featured an argument about the correct number of apples to transport to the crag. It also covered bread eating and theories for and against the retrospective spreading of butter on jam. I would argue that it is such humble mundanities that provide a far more appealing foil to the action than the presence of drone shots of yoga poses...

They’re just 10 minute vids of nails problems, can’t expect much else. Some of them are a bit shit but in general good on them. Least they’re not trying to fleece money out of people.

Might be a silly question, but did anyone try to pull on any of the 'holds' or do any of the moves on Il Pirata when you were there? I have only seen pictures of a dusty looking hole where I am told an 8C was once climbed, so I really have no idea about what the problem is like beyond that.

Watched that Castle Hill "Man In The Moon" film recently, it was great, aside from the stupid cooking breakfast sequence.

Hmmm. I found that it was technically well-produced, but I did find a couple of small issues that detracted from it for me personally:
The obligatory and often unnecessary slo-mo on every single problem became very cliched and cringeworthy.
The letterbox format meant that 1/3 of the screenspace was wasted so the main viewing was a very small bit of problem and a lot of horizontal landscape.
Some problems were hard to see being in shadow against a bright background, it seemed strange that the person who made it had high FPS cameras etc etc but didn't manage to brighten these up.
There was little context behind the problems nor why they might be meaningful to the climber (a bit like monkey boy was saying).
The "Created by...." credit and somehow having both a Teaser and a Trailer seemed very pompous.
The overall vibe for me was of a box-ticking bouldering video designed by grey men in grey suits to have a refined polished product with inoffensive mass market appeal but without any personality or soul whatsoever.
OTOH I did like the atmospheric conditions at Eastby and the footage of the grouse trotting down the boulder to take off.

I thought this Misericorde video was lovely. What a great little portrait of a friendship. And a stunning problem thrown in for good measure.
-
The scene at 4.52 speaks to me on a deeply emotional level. The cinematography is flawless. The fall out of the camera shot (with just the sound of the mats), the pan down, him just laying on ground, the friends hands on his head, unsure what to do. Beautiful.

Looks like Bearcam has recently started to upload some of his back catalogue to youtube!

Not only that, Carlo Traversi has started doing the same
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdxvzIcdtV8
Alongside these channels, hardclimbs, mellow (and obviously Turner's VLOG), I'm feeling pretty spoilt with how frequently good bouldering videos are appearing online! :strongbench:
Let me know if you guys know of any other worthwhile channels. (Paul Robinson has a vlog, but it's usually hit or miss.)
edit: and obviously doylo99 is still up there with the best.

Thanks for sharing that 36C, thought the Rocklands one was ace.

I liked the one of the 12-year old James "Jimmy" Page avoiding some heavy dabbage on some right bumscrapers, calling every single boulder problem a bitch, all set to a horrendous trance soundtrack.

Still my favourite pro climber to watch, great vid.
Spotted something interesting; right at the start there's a close-up of his fingers at about 20 seconds in and his ring finger DIP looks really swollen. Presume it doesn't cause him too many issues, but imagine if that happened to someone on here (myself included) it'd be the source or much consternation!

Self-posting is allowed if subsequently ratified by three members of the forum. I liked it, so you're 2/3rds of the way there.

Self-posting entirely justified in this case.

The colours are a bit of a mess in places though. I think they’ve tried to do a kind of extreme cinematic “grade” to it which either their skills or the footage itself (in terms of how big the files are, the shots look good) isn’t up to.

There was quite a bit of slo mo walking too.

Brilliant. I’d like to have seen more of the maps tbh!
There aren’t many artists with a climber’s eye I know of - Phil Gibson is the only one who stands out for me. I have a few pictures. I like being able to stand in the kitchen and trace the lines of holds on Froggatt even though it’s miles away.
-
Good share Robin. I thoroughly enjoyed that, wish it was longer.
-

I've had that said to me before.

great film Robin.
-
Conjetura - a bit all over the place and quite long for 3 ascents. Was it about The Nest? Monkey Wedding? Sud Africa? America? Walking between crags? Driving between crags? Or the typically genetically gifted bastard with zero body fat and a boyband haircut? At least it didn't have anyone flying in first class like fucking Nalle.
Nalle vs Sleepwalker - pretty cool footage, I like him acknowledging that it just boiled down to conditions and luck.
Mapmaker - nice, could have been longer, good vibes in it. Would have liked to have seen more climbing and a lot more maps, they were beautiful.
-
Forgot to add...
Where Is Everybody? - (presumably all grinding the public transport network to a halt as part of XfuckingR protests instead of jetsetting to the other side of the globe) - great, more quality than most quality videos, although partly that's a cheat because the location is so damn aesthetic. Even so, refreshing simplicity allowing brilliant-looking problems to shine, good effort. Although a few times the camera could have been zoomed in to show more problem and slightly less sky.

New Megos film.
-
That's really good. 16 days on a 9b+ has to be one of if not the quickest ascent of a route that hard?
Think the 40+ day project is Bibliographie at Ceuse?
-
Gotta be, it's not even that much of a siege in the scheme of things!
p.s. just noticed this in bouldering vids not chuffing, whoops!
-
I went to see the Megos film at Kendal, with Megos talking. He's such a class act, very funny guy.
-
16 days on a 9b+ has to be one of if not the quickest ascent of a route that hard?
Jakob Schubert posted on the 1st Nov that it was his 6th day on the route and he did it on the 9th, so significantly quicker unless he was referring to his 6th day that trip maybe? If not, a realistic number of rest days would imply only 11 or 12 days for his ascent.
Enjoyed the film, though given the amount of "greatest climber in the world", "future of climbing" type comments, the complete lack of mention of AO seemed a bit weird. Also while I appreciate they were linking it in with the history of the Frankenjura, painting Megos as the future of redpointing seems odd given that (from my armchair perspective) he seems best known for very quick ascents.
-
Really enjoyed the Megos film. Love the old footage from Germany. I thought mentioning Ondra would have detracted from the whole thing. It's not Paxti telling everyone "to be the best, you must show the best, I am the best!"

Nice viddy, Rowan and Dan. Would love to know the name/grade/location of the problems that were featured briefly but not of "the five".
Also... isn't it Monk Life, not Monks Life...?

Think it was Dartmoor. Devon Sent in Bovey Woods and something on The Wave at Bonehill. But I could be talking utter bollocks.

Awesome video and imagine how much more productive Dan could be if he upped his weather forecast game! Relying on a single source (in this case the BBC app apparently) seems so last decade.
-

That's right. The problem at Bonehill might have been Catching the Wave? There's quite a few variations on that part of the face though.
-
Thanks for the positive feedback, full credit to Rowan
That’s correct, one of the 8A from a sit, can’t remember which.
The other is Devon sent, got to be one of the best lines out there!

Those were my favourite bits too. I thought the 'driving to the crag' shots were so short they were almost ironic. Replaced by the 'drone over the crag' shot - which are pretty though.
(I didnt like the music...)

Kinda surprising Timonov hasn't managed OtW Sit yet considering how utterly piss he made the stand look. First move looks Hard.
-

This. Usually annoying sped up footage on full problems. Skimmed through some of it. Music was impressively bad. I wanted to see the top out of OTW more than anything.

It's one of the worst videos I have ever seen of such high quality crushing!

https://youtu.be/5Gegk64p9ls
Some great stuff here. Sadly includes a perfect example of a pet hate: crouched ascents of sit starts, he barely bends down to start Thick End of the Wedge!
If your arse wasn't the last thing to leave the floor, it's not a sit, whether or not you used the same hand holds to start. And yes it often makes a massive difference.
Back around.
-
What if you can't reach the sit-start holds from sitting?? That's a pet hate of mine, sit starts put up by lanksters where the more compact gentleman can't even pull on to the SS...
Anyway, clicked on that video for the lowball choss, there wasn't any. 2/10 would not watch again.
-
😂
Folding pads so you can reach is OK. Some problems only work from a crouch, and that's OK too (but put it in the description, and don't call it "problem x sit"). But if it's a sit, that means your arse leaves the ground last!
-
Are bar stools in or they have to be stacked pads? Asking for a friend :unsure:
#shortpeoplematter
Edit: Just watched the video and you are right. No excuse for that...
-
It shows a standing start? Or am I missing something?

Not done the problem so may be talking out of my arse, but hasn't he just done Home Cooking there at about 7A?! Taking the piss a bit as I'm sure theres an extra move or two in there but surely that isn't TTotW?
Great video though, I do enjoy that channel.
-
Looking at videos it looks like the right starting holds.
To be honest, where the holds for a sitter are high enough that many will need to stack pads (i.e. more than just a few exceptionally small people), I think it's better to have a crouch start. Otherwise you get into the absurdities of who's allowed to stack, how many pads, etc.

I've had a session on it (though not done it). Assuming you stack a pad or two so your hands were on the same holds then moving from the sit to that position is the easiest move on the whole problem. He's definitely not skipped anything substantial.
-
Fair, I haven't got a clue! Sounds like it isn't really a sit start then, or people just aren't bothering with it, which amounts to the same thing.

The first ascent was done as a crouch, it's not a sit start, it's a low start to Home Cooking. Sam started in the right place.
-
It's written up on ukc and peakbouldering as the sit to home cooking. Fair enough if it's a crouch, but why has it been written up wrongly? The difference between a sit and a crouch is often not at all trivial even if it may be in this case. And if it is trivial then why not start sat down? If the holds are awkward to reach from sitting then fair enough, but again, write it up properly.
-
I didn't know it's written up as that, it shouldn't be as the FA was a crouch. I think you'd need a few pads to start it sitting, the holds are too high to reach otherwise. It annoys me too when people start sitters in a crouch position, like you say it can make a massive difference.

Loved this one, I'd say one of the best produced climbing films I've seen. Some of those lines are nothing short of incredible. Narsil looks to be probably the proudest roof in Arizona, of which there are hundreds.
-
:agree: particularly on problems that start hauling off the floor on undercuts. Oftentimes getting your arse off the deck is the hardest bit of the problem (I am particularly wank at undercuts though, it has to be said).
Badgers in the mist at Rhiw Goch is a prime example, hard problem crouching but much harder to be strict on the sit start.

I definitely approve. Track is Royalston (feat Victoria) - Black Cloud, I bought it a while back. More smooth and rolling than banging tho ;). Bradders check my North Wales video, you might like the soundtrack to that.

Bloody hell, wish I'd known that, might have shaved a couple of sessions off the million it took ;)
I used 2 pads, 1 in the hole and 1 on top, and I had to put my hiking boots under the pads so I could reach the start from a sit. I did start with left hand on the ear instead of the edge though (same hold just further left, same as Sam by the looks of it). Hard pull on, but he's not really skipped much, and if it's supposed to be a crouch looks sound to me. The meat is the middle of it anyway.
-
Also, thought this was quality. Good tunes, bit different, Roberts crushing everything in sight and Americans yelling american things in the back ground (especially when he's on Jade, how the hell is yelling "tight" supposed to help?)

I know the egg was 8a and the other thing in squamish (proposition?) was 8a+ . I think the weird feet first thing in Arizona has also settled at a pretty ok grade too.
Anyone have any idea on the others?

Thats brought some great memories of Zillertal. I remember going there with foundry Karl and our kid in 2003? after seeing a short video feature.
When we arrived in Austria I rang Gerhard Horhager, local strongman and new-router and he told us about the new crag "Monkey Island".
We spent the next 3 weeks sleeping in Karls van in the parking lot opposite the crag. I don't recall why, but Karl always slept in the back of the citroen dispatch and Drew and I alternated sleeping across either the 3 seats or in the footwell, face in the pedals. :slap:
Never got on total brutal. it was pretty imposing, but looked ace, just above the road.
Monkey island was only briefly shown in that vid, a girl on summat, sandwiched between the shots of Lucie Hrozova in a blue bikini...but I reckon that was my fave crag in Zillertal
The steep crag (Bachexe) that Ondra trains on at the end is also ace. Well worth a visit if you're operating in the 8s.
We'd just come from the krankenfuhrer,where Drew popped a pulley on his first days climbing(Slimline), so was only watching Karl and I climbing in Germany and Austria. He only pulled on again once we got to Misja Pec in Slov. Great times...seems a lifetime ago now! :'(

I feel like that problem was in another one of their Swiss edits but not 100%, maybe it was just in a promo.
Really enjoyed this edit but feel like my standard for quality has been skewed by all the amazing Kevin Takashi Smith vids recently!

This was so, so good. I really enjoyed the style and editing. It felt like a breath of fresh air in bouldering film making. Before I get bogged down in hyperbole, I'll also add that it's one of the first I've seen in a while that captured what bouldering projects kinda feel like to me.
-
Thought it was great up until the final few minutes. The choppy editing (which worked well for the rest of the film) made it hard to watch the final ascents. All except the wagon sitter, which was mercifully uncut.
-
Loved all the failure. It feels much more real to me than many other videos. Also liked the shots of the environment and mountains, along with no music just the sounds of the birds, hands/fingernails against the rock, beta chats, heavy breathing and landing on pads. It gives a good impression for me of bouldering outside, it is not just an outdoor gym with pumping music and regular success on problems.
-
Ironic that much of the other mellow vids give exactly that impression.
-
:agree:Such a refreshing change to their usual style of videos and so much better for it!
Hope they continue in this vein as i found some of the others unwatchable at times.
Very enjoyable

Me too, the antithesis of a king line, but from a hard bouldering perspective just what you want.

That's some serious dingy dab-tastic grot - great features in the roof but more like bad beta for a kid's weaselling cave. Having said that, the final ascent footage / vibe / finish was brilliant.
Andrew Macfarlane on the other hand, what a prime clickbait chode, his endless sycophantic videos of Louis fucking haircut Parkinson around the London walls are an embarrassment to climbing, almost as much as them actually getting any views. I feel slightly dirty even seeing the thumbnail for his video.

From the (very vague) rumours I've heard it's going to be split in to a couple of volumes. Something like mountain stuff and coastal stuff, so presumably a good chunk of new material.

Two parts is correct, costal and mountains.
Loads of new stuff to get at too

Another nice video from Mellow. First problem in particular looks really cool. A deep water solo too. But the last one is a bit ridiculous (despite looking like a nice climb). How many pads are too many? They must have about 20 down there. Shouldn't this just have a bolt and be a sport climb or f there is gear a trad route? Not sure what the Rocklands ethics are. Bolts ok? Or even a solo without pads if that floats your boat. But that seems like too many pads. Next step is one of those inflatable stuntman landings from the movies, maybe that would actually be better.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YGaWpfl5_Y&ab_channel=mellow
-
I don’t really get how there can be too many pads, it’s not like over bolting or placing pegs, they are there and then gone.
If I was trying something big and had the availability I’d want as many pads as I ld lay my hands on!
-
Hmmmm, maybe you are right. It just looks a bit crazy. I guess I was thinking that you might as well just top rope it then if you are wanting to make it as safe as possible by having to put down that many pads. Although I appreciate a fall from height onto even a massive stack is still more dangerous than top rope.
Also I'm not 100% sure that placing and dragging in that many pads doesn't have an impact. Surely it could disturb quite an large area of soil and plant life, especially if you start building patios to put multiple pads on. Is that worse than a couple bolts. I don't know. I'm probably just barking up the wrong tree. ;D
-
Both the dws and the highball looked very impressive, particularly the dws - I wonder if there is much more?
-

I'm probably just barking up the wrong tree. ;D
Doing something above pads, even that many, is a totally different proposition to top roping though. That highball looks a little bit like if you did Unfamiliar above pads without putting any gear in the break. It looks like he could have placed gear but I think in a way it's cleaner without.
In fact I'd go as far as to say highball above pads is maybe the best balance of style and safety; really pure climbing wise, still pretty scary especially on something hard, and yet probably safe unless you fell in a really uncontrolled way right from the top.
Cool problems anyway. That DWS feature looks incredible, absolutely begging to be climbed!
-
Yeah I think you’re right. Definitely different proposition above pads than top rope. Just on first viewing it looked really weird. But I agree it’s a cleaner way of climbing without the faff of ropes. I concede the point. :)
Agree the DWS looked cool. Looked like there were other lines in that canyon (if that’s the right word).
-
These don’t look like highball ascents, they look like headpoints. Either he’s brilliant at getting every move perfect first go or they are rehearsed.
-
That's what I thought. I get strong vibes that this was extensively rehearsed on top rope. Still amazingly impressive, and you would not catch me doing something that high. Certainly the mats became a little irrelevant after he got to the rest (which to me suggests this wasn't really a boulder problem but a committing solo).
For bouldering, I tend to prefer ground up ascents because this allows a shorter boulder to feel more serious. 'Life on Hold' comes to mind, and I think it was Dan who discussed how this gives a problem more longevity for the climber. In my experience it is definitely more memorable if you're not exactly sure how it tops out.
-
He'll have definitely done it in headpoint style. Which then does raise the question why so many pads? I know things can break, foot slips etc but you'd not leave the ground even thinking about falling on something this tall, especially as it doesn't particularly hard climbing from my arm chair.
Having said that if you've got the pads, then why not?! Great looking line!
-
The brief opening shots of the top rope and him hanging from the grigri established the style of the ascents for the whole film. It’s clear they were worked and he’s making no secret of it.
Amazing looking lines and climbing.

Rocklands did have a bolting ban a while ago - climbers had previously bolted up several great sport routes, then the national park or whomever banned it so the routes are few and far between. That ban may still apply. I'm pretty sure Keen Youth did some cool-looking trad there.
-
There is a ban in place, all the sport climbs were bolted without consent way back in the 80s, but have been tolerated, and in some cases the bolts have been replaced as part of the Anchor Replacement Fund (ARF) initiatives. As far as I can see, any new sport climbing on the area has been done in private land or outside of Cape Nature Land eg https://www.climbing.co.za/wiki/Truitjieskraal . I believe you can currently submit a request to bolt new lines, but I think few are bothered, though there is some activity. https://www.climbing.co.za/wiki/Pakhuis_Pass
I have no idea where the DWS, but it's a massive area, so could be anywhere. There is a spot used for diving and some easy DWS on the Matjies River near the Sanddrif Campsite, but that doesn't look like there.
Personally I'd have whacked a fat cam in that break.

Interestingly I had an anonymous comment on the insta post accusing me of bullying G, said it’s not on considering I’ve had ‘mental health matters’ in past. Wasn’t too hard to work out that this was from a certain brummie who I used to defend when the whole world was ripping into him. I hope he’s happy now but he ought to think before coming out the woodwork like that anonymously. Plus i would hardly call it bullying. Most of the vids over the years have been G Worship. Maybe it’s a bit close to the line but I’m gonna stop now anyway.

Some weird chemicals must be leaching into the water supply on that part of the Welsh coast, resulting in a special type of genius with a hint of madness and/or obsession. Think about it. Moffatt, Pollitt, Doyle & the Cattell's. Outliers all of them, and the world a better place for it.

To clarify although he is more torn about it now he still loves the G. He initially told me to take the G is a liar out but I explained it was for the exorcism narrative and the change in tone at that moment was important. Some different words may have worked but it went in as initially planned. He always goes on about G being witnessed getting high on Brandenburg.

Not like he claimed that anyway.

Here we go, I've searched the forum for 'Brandenburg' and this post from Dense of all people would seem to be the source:
don't really want to speak for benpritch but i think he's filming in the valley at the moment. ben saw john working brandenburg gates and said he moved up the rock like a gecko and he couldn't really believe what he was seeing. his impression of john climbing it is fantastic, especially if you've both had a few beers.
Similar from, Nigel, dave and Panton respectively. Be interesting if they can remember their sources:
Yes Gaskins has repeated Hubble with ease during visits to try his Tor project. Quite a few people have seen him do this!
You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that gaskins is regularly witnessed climbing very hard things, like pissing up hubble when working the 9a+/9b brandenburg gate project, and the 9a+ was a project of his for years. Theres absolutley no reason to treat the lack of a belayer as anything other than an amusing curiosity, unless you've got some kind of irrational dislike of him. theres no track record of gaskins being anything less than honest.
Respect is earned by demonstrating your character and your ability. John has done this time and time again, either on film or in front of other 'respected' witnesses. Thus John has respect.
It's somewhat amazing in hindsight to read some of the spirited defence of the G from the forum faithful at the time, most of this from at this thread (https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,2469.0.html) for instance. All seems to be second hand despite the fervour.
-
benpritch does say he saw Gaskins on Brandenbrug here:
ok, just to re-iterate - I saw John Gaskins climbing on Brandenburg Gate. He was doing all the moves, some links etc. He looked like he could do it. Brandenburg Gate makes Hubble look like a juggy warm up. I have seen a lot of good climbers climbing but i have never seen anything like that before.
and that he was doing very well on it (and Rich Heap was also there) here:
I may well have some age related mental problems but I never said he was pissing anything. He was definitely trying really hard , but at the same time doing very well. I will talk to Rich Heap who was there also and see if he can corroborate my story although he may well be as chronologically challenged as me. What's the story you have heard from 'elsewhere"?

People seem to make the mistake of seeking an absolute answer to The Question Of The G. Either that he was the best climber who ever lived who did everything that he said he did, or that he was a complete fraud who didn't do anything that he claimed to have done without reliable witnesses.
The truth is probably somewhere in between and we're never going to know with certainty what the truth is. He was definitely incredibly strong and incredibly capable. The balance of evidence tends to point to him also having told porkies about some of his ascents. This shouldn't be a surprise really. People don't fall into simple categories of Good and Evil - they're complex individuals with complex motivations and moods.
There are interesting examples of people with lots of well-documented hard things under their belt who have been caught out lying about something that they could have done. John might have been one of those people, who just stretched the bounds of credibility a little too far.
-
Ah yeah there's a few witness statements on that interview thread. Likewise here (https://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,21378.msg390117.html#msg390117). But it seems to be fairly bland witness statements - doing some moves - to what people then circulated about pissing Hubble etc. As Will said I think we'd all like it to be black and white - either he was shit or the greatest, rather than very very good but a liar. Likewise we all know Simpson was good in the School.

Ye. The thing is about liars in climbing or otherwise is there’s no rule book as it’s complex human behaviour. It ranges from someone who lies once in their whole life to a serial liar who does it every day. The problem for anyone who seems ‘fishy’ is that more often or not everything is wiped out as no one can know what’s been done and what hasn’t. Even if they’ve actually climbed a lot of it once the credibility’s gone everything’s in question. I find the Paul Robinson case interesting, a lot of people over the pond don’t believe he did Lucid Dreaming despite years and years of hard ascents on video and obvious world class ability. Yet they don’t believe this one ascent due to the suspicious circumstances.
-
Cheers for the clarification Doylo, his faith is being tested then!
I have kind of come to the conclusion that he was extremely strong in his style, but may have told a few "stretched truths" that got away from him. I actually don't doubt things like Il Pirata and Shadowplay as much as some, hold breakages on SP could account for it's modern impossibility, it's a snappy roof after all. But I do have a nag at the back of my mind that the pill box problem could have been one of those "oh that one? Yeah I did that one, was quite similar to a board problem of mine. 8A+ I thought.", since no one seems to be able to confirm it as a witness. I don't know, I barely care any more!
The myth of him is still a hero of mine, and something that I use to fuel my training, if less so the man.

Have any of the new crop of strong kids tried the pill box problem. Looks the type of thing that would suit the new school.

Not yet. Ryan Pasquill looked pretty good on it a while ago though- Strong fingers and lanky. Danny thinks it’s harder now cos people stand on the handholds on the other problems and they’re even more slippy.

Several thoughts:
God knows I can be what many would see as pretentious, but the script for this was a terrible load of old bollocks. Couldn't stand the narrator either.
The comparison between John and Eric Gill is completely tendentious; beyond sharing a surname and some kind of relationship with stone (to which they related in completely different ways) there is nothing that links them.
Finally, I think the comparison, made in the way it is here, is deeply insulting to John Gill. Eric Gill was a paedophile who abused two of his three daughters. I am not arguing Gill's work should be censored, I've seen and photographed it at the Midland Hotel in Morecambe, where I believe it should remain, as it should in other public places, such as on Broadcasting House. But Gill's sexuality was so deeply integrated into his life, practices, and work - much of which is erotic and includes many nude images of his underage daughters - that it is impossible to separate out and set to one side as unimportant to our reception of the work. The film invites a comparison of the practices of John Gill the climber and of Eric Gill the artist but in doing so also completely elides a central feature of the latter's practice (in this respect it is interesting that the film focuses entirely on Gill's work in typeface, obviously the most neutral facet of his work). The film even goes so far as to invoke a kind of brotherhood between them, calling them unrelated twins, but to what ends? It's cheap and shoddy.
-
This video has come up on here before, I think the filmmaker was crowdfunding. Can't believe he actually made it. As well as the abuses mentioned by Andy above, we mustn't forget Eric Gill and his bestiality, i.e. his pet dog.
Absolute crap!
-
There is an earlier thread from 2014 (which I don't remember seeing); the film maker was crowdfunding. Here he (presumably) is from that thread talking about their intentions for the film:
"There can be no legitimate account of Eric Gill that omits the scandalous aspects to his personal life. However, the subject of our film is not scandal. Though we will touch on his life honestly, we will also explore the lives and influence of a huge many others, and their contributions to their crafts. Without side-stepping the issue of Gill’s past or anybody else’s, we will nonetheless choose to focus on his, and their, creative achievements. Eric Gill is arguably the greatest letter cutter of the 20th century (and one of the most influential sculptors, typographers, wood cutters, amongst many other talents). Rather than deny his artistic genius and shun his beautiful works, we think it more useful and intelligent to try to understand how such a complex figure arrived at his remarkable innovations."
Except that the finished film (assuming this isn't a trailer) attempts to do absolutely none of that.
In particular, why say this - "Without side-stepping the issue of Gill’s past or anybody else’s, we will nonetheless choose to focus on his, and their, creative achievements." - if you don't want to invite a direct comparison, whilst also, however accidentally, implying that Eric Gill is not the only one with a past that might need side stepping.
There still seems to be a grim determination to reason away Eric Gill's abuses. See this 2017 article from the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2017/apr/09/eric-gill-the-body-ditchling-exhibition-rachel-cooke
-
I think it's just a trailer, hopefully the film was never made. I've worked with two of the funders/supporters listed on the vimeo version; Newlyn Art Gallery and Inland Festival, I would be surprised if they had supported or funded such a film. I think ultimately it was a stab at something by a young film maker, the support he had would have been for making a trailer R&D etc, hence the subsequent crowdfunding.
I suppose ultimately I don't like to see John Gill (hero, to me and many) juxtaposed next to a justifiably controversial figure such as Eric Gill. Plus it's also just a very flimsy proposition conceptually.
-
I think it's just a trailer, hopefully the film was never made.
I don't know, his website says there is a longer, 16 minute version (shown at festivals I guess). I was also surprised by some of the funders and prizes named across.
And like you, I just really dislike the very explicit comparison the film makes.
-
ah ok, have you a link for the website?

I quite like the essay in film voiceover approach, but know nothing about Eric Gill and the film does not make a coherent case for the link between the two, or anything much really. Shame; there’s an argument to be made about the aesthetics of climbers and craftsmen.(Also a bit odd that the only woman is completely silent- how does Lucy fit into this?).
Perrin wrote up an interview with Pat Littlejohn years ago where listening to his accounts of new routing put him in mind of a cabinet maker discussing grains and textures. Not for nothing that Malcolm’s holds were marketed under Stonesmith either.
Looking forward to the next instalment with Johnny as Caravaggio.

I had similar thoughts. I thought it was worth sharing as an interesting curiosity. I wasn't completely convinced by the comparison, and a bit confused by Lucy...but I like being challenged to see a different perspective. Especially where the subject is something so familiar, like climbing, that I wear like an old slipper, and rarely see with new eyes.
One or two of the lines did catch my attention. I liked the reflection on hardened skin, pads that transmitted feeling. Made me think of cat's paws.
I didn't know about Eric Gill. If I had I'm sure I would have watched it with a frown. Seems a poor choice.

No mega surprise that understated videos at absolute peak of hard bouldering appeal to a smaller number of people than (depending on who you ask) affable chappies having fun on plastic; which is what I think most people who consider themselves boulderers do. It can just be hard to see from inside this bubble.
-

That was my thought entirely ;D
@LiamHutch98 - damn right. Anything with Mitbo in or in the title - apart from that Wideboyz collab with the indoor roof cracks which was decent - is a bunch of clickbait drivel, and anyone who chooses to watch it instead of mellow needs their spuds set on fire.
-
I find the Mitbo ones generally quite meh (though there are some ok ones, and I quite liked spying on walls around the world when he was travelling - i was wondering about the vibe at the NYC ones whilst daydreaming / considering moving there).
But I really like the Emil Abrahamsson ones, and the Erik Karlsson ones are often really good too. Lots of strong women (daughter loves that) and I have a serious man crush on Thor.
Pre-pandemic, I was musing the possibility of a board-based YouTube channel, vaguely based on Come Dine With Me, in which various sweaty beasts dish out dirty cellar problems to strong locals and the occasional wildcard wad, whilst an overexcited Grimer and Doylo provide a barely legal commentary. This became the primary focus for LDNCLMBR’s transition into a VICEsque multimedia channel but until I can find a way to pitch for Pete’s investment on AIM and employ some helpers it’s likely to remain a distant dream.
-
If you cast your mind back to the Thing, I am sure there is a market for a satirical digital version. But it needs to be scurrilous, not too high brow, unless you want to be very niche.
Kind of like Viz, with grit rash.

Yeah I love fugazi, but was always under the impression that they didn’t like their music being used for anything else. Maybe bouldering was such a weird small sport back then they didn’t really care. Off topic but I see Ian MacKaye has a new band and released a new album with a couple of fugazi band mates called Coriky.

I used the wonderful world of social media and asked Mike Call, said he got the rights from Ian and he only wanted as much as the other artists were getting paid!

"Nearly 20 years ago a professional climber and a self-taught cinematographer created a movie project called, no_comment! They invited friends to collaborate by climbing their favorite routes and boulder problems. The project’s founders Ric and Roc, aka ricroc pictures, sought to highlight young talents and professional climbers all over Europe. Roc, better known as Gerhard Hörhager, invited Ben Moon, Jerry Moffat, Markus Bock, Bernd Zangerl, Luca Zardini, Mauro Calibani, Michael Mayr, Cristian Brenna, Alberto Gnerro, Christoph Finkel, Luca Giapponi, Stefano Romanussi, Wolfgang Rottensteiner, Werner Thon and the then 11 year old David Lama to take part. Over the last two decades climbing and the climbing scene have grown exponentially. Now in 2021, we feel it’s the right moment is right to bring the movie back to life! All segments of, no_comment! are available to watch on YouTube and unseen footage will be made available on Instagram. Stay tuned.. "

Well he’s got the right name for it.

Maybe you get onto the top bit and it would just feel horribly contrived to ignore the obvious holds going off to the right? Maybe the traverse adds interest and spice where there would be an otherwise drab top section? Maybe where the patina has worn off the rock it's a bit shitty?

Fuck me, that's a good effort.
Worth clarifying that the rock rodeo is 'what's the 6 hardest problems you can do in a day' format, so it is indeed all the same day. Even more impressive is that it was his first time going to that part of Hueco so he didn't have any of them worked beforehand.
-
I flippin' love Matt Fultz, he's strong, not twiggy and come across as a cool guy. Bonus points from me because he's not sponsored by one of the top trendy shoe brands. Just feels a bit like he bucks the trend of top boulderers.

Not to my taste at all. Nevertheless, what a mega siege of what looks to be a uniquely resistant set of moves. Can't see much extra rubber or trickery altering the grade of this one. It's bound to get more attention than BOD given reliable conditions, skin friendly holds, and proximity to other great bouldering.

Surely the (potentially) hardest boulder ever climbed deserves a thread of its own.

Also being strength endurance based (like Grand Illusion) it should suit the newer breed of comp wad climbers too.
I really like the edit, it's distinctive and interesting, and actually made me want to watch for 15 mins, rather than skipping to the send.

We should crowd found Albert to go and try a barefoot ascent
[edit] the video was not to my taste. I liked the music though.

What don't people like about the video!? It's high quality footage of the best boulderer in the world raging on the hardest* boulder in the world!

I really enjoyed it.

I liked it too. Glad they did something a bit different with it rather than sticking to the usual formula.

I'm not into the music but that's just personal taste obviously. Anything trying something original/ different gets points from me. Definition of a marmite edit judging by online comments.

Didn't grab me.
Skipped to the send which is a proper beaut.
He looked sooooo close to dropping that top again.
Surely that frenchy with the feet wouldn't piss up this, would he?
-
Yeah, I really liked it too. I thought there was loads of atmosphere.
-
I liked that, better than just another talking head harping on about pushing themselves. The rock looks befitting of a 'world's hardest' problem. Anyone notice how tiny his pins were in the send footage? I hope he got himself a burger afterwards.
-
I liked it too, but 10 minutes would've done it for me rather than 18

I watched it, it was fine, some good aspects, some less good aspects. I don't actually have strong opinions on the video - is that even allowed??
-
Not from you. :lol:

What struck me more than anything about the video was how hard the climbing looks. You’re constantly going into what look like thumb sprags over your shoulder. Never seen anything so thumb intensive in my life!

Tbh I loved the actual send! I'm not big into slowmo sounds and shots of DWoods screaming "NOOOO" over and over but I get what they were trying to do and admittedly the black and white looked cool.
It's interesting to compare the video and problem to Burden of Dreams. BoD being a classic phone in a shoe type jobbie (and being like a four move problem). I too expect this will get repeated long before it does

Because DWoods is not having the most fun? 😄
Who would wear the crown of ‘best’ for you?
Burden is probably going to remain a bit of a mystery as any would be suitors would have to move to Finland for 6 months and live in a depressing flat whilst it was snowing.

Whether D Woods is the 'best' boulderer or not is actually quite interesting. I believe his tick list is the strongest and I can't think what else you might judge it on (no, it isn't the person having the most fun!). I think everyone agrees Ondra is the best sport climber for the same reason.

"Best" is a tricky one. Really you mean "most accomplished", which is a decent proxy for "best", but depends on whether you want to know best at a given moment or whether you give marks for longevity and consistency.
It's possible to be the best very briefly and be much less accomplished than all the people you're better than, although of course you have to achieve a certain amount to actually "be good" and not just "have potential". You could have someone have a wonder year where they onsight 9a+, climb 9c quick but have done nothing else and then quit. They'd probably have been the best climber in the world that year (i.e. put them "up against" anyone else and they'd burn them off) but would not be the most accomplished climber. :worms: Perhaps easier to visualise with comps - kid comes, wins everything for a year, quits.

True, and this is an eternal debate in boxing circles e.g. a Larry Holmes type longevity vs a prime Mike Tyson peak - Who was greater? There are probably better examples.
Regardless, in 2021 Daniel Woods has climbed V17, V16 (Grand Illusion, any others?), and I don't know below that but he could well be top on longevity and current form!
-
Woods has done friggin loads of hard stuff, this is an incomplete list: https://climbing-history.org/climber/516/daniel-woods Nalle's the other obvious contender.
-
Do you not also have to be considered cool by the cognoscenti? ;) Feel like Woods falls down a bit on that one, kinda like James Pearson with hard trad :worms:
-
True, and this is an eternal debate in boxing circles e.g. a Larry Holmes type longevity vs a prime Mike Tyson peak - Who was greater? There are probably better examples.
Salvadore Sanchez is the usual poster-boy for "brief but brilliant". He died in a car crash at 23, shortly after winning his 10th world title fight, beating Azumah Nelson (who then went on to be probably the greatest African boxer of all time). Despite his title reign being only around 2-3 years, Sanchez is often rated as a top 3-5 featherweight of all time - with asides that he could have been the greatest.
Ike Ibeabuchi is often mentioned on boxing forums as the prime example of "what might have been". Really naturally talented 90's heavyweight, he was just getting going career-wise but already looked a future great (beat David Tua, Chris Byrd) when he was imprisoned for kidnapping a prostitute (not long after abducting an ex's child and leaving them permanently disabled in a car crash). Thinking about it, there were loads of "lost" heavyweights from the late 80-90s. Oliver McCall, Tony Tubbs, Michael Dokes, Trevor Berbick, Michael Spinks, Gregg Page - all crack.addicts. Mike Tyson had a long and stable career by comparison!

As the only two people to have climbed unrepeated 9A boulders, and both with multiple 8C+ ascents too, I'd say they're the only contenders for "most accomplished boulderer" currently.
-
Has Nalle climbed owt hard since Burden, or has he just been climbing at new venues around the world, whilst simultaneously complaining about people flying?

Just realised that Nalle also has to do the big throw move off a worse LH than the other guys (I'm assuming it's worse, otherwise the other guys would use it).

Think Jimmy uses the same bit on the FA but not sure. Assume that hold has seen a lot of brush attention since then!!

If you watch DW on SWS, for the last move out left before the heelhook, almost every time he does the move successfully (either for the stand, links, or the actual ascent) he gets his right foot on an edge (assuming blind as he is focussed on his left hand), every time he fails it's either telegraphing on the rock or flapping in the air.

I really like the sleepwalker edit.
Woods is a bit try hard to be cool, and Nalle. His sense of humour/self awareness bypass seems terminal.

That is one heinous crimp on the last boulder. The way that Yves climbs looks very unique. I want to say it looks floaty but it's something else. Locked into the rock perhaps? A bit like gravity has been turned down! His preposterous levels of strength probably has something to do with it.
-
Those fucking little cut edit things on problem 2 can just go jump in a bottomless pit. Stopped watching then, can't be doing with good problems and footage ruined like that.

Had this guy actually climbed anything hard, or is he just popular for his lettuce scores? Fred Nicole climbed 8B+ 25 years ago.
-

Fred didn't climb 8B+ in Ottowa though, seems like Yves has to break his own ground. There is a lot of fanfare for 8A and up repeats on this thread, and anytime someone is putting up new routes/boulders, that deserves a totally different level of respect than hanging on wood.
Would be interesting if he traveled more, but not everyone does that.
-
Fred Nicole broke his own ground world-wide for many years 🤷🏼♂️ For a while there was even talk about the Nicole-celing, when climbers progressed through the grades until they ran out of Nicole boulders to repeat.
-

I thought under a video of the gent in question may be an appropriate place to ask! I knew he was insta famous for hanging off bits of wood, but didn’t know whether he’d managed to climb anything hard.
-
He’s got an 8a.nu logbook for those interested. Like Adam said he’s done 5 8B+s. Done like 80 8th grade boulders all told. Far from the worst of the insta famous folk.

Yes definitely agree on that!

Hah, it's fine. I'm sure some of the climbing is quality. Just out of interest, I gave it another chance and skipped through to the last problem you lot are talking about.... The first thing I saw when I hit play was a dramatic slo-mo close up of the person brushing then blowing on a hold, and that was enough.
To extrapolate further from what Doylo mentioned, I like watching cool movement on bouldering videos (i.e. usually the bulk of the problem and the harder climbing - slow top-outs or extended shake-outs etc are quite different). I especially like well-framed, good-angled, high quality, cleanly presented footage of cool movement. A fair amount of boulderers / video editors choose to do stuff that gets in the way of that footage and obscures the cool movement (those jittery cuts are especially bad, as is constant changing angles, slo-mo can be fine if it's edited in well), and I just don't like that - and my viewpoint, although increasingly cantankerous, is based on a positive desire to just see the climbing.

Is the Doylo film school about proudly emblazoning something with a massive old school onsight trad grade while there's a dozen pads in shot?? I might cancel my fan club membership then.
Still fair play if they're ground-upping it in modern highball style - that would be a good way of stepping up to the challenge.
-

No. :chair:

Doing stuff with a load of pads at the bottom is legit right? Dave Mac padded the bottom of Hold Fast Hold True and that saved his ankle.
-
It's certainly a legit way to ground-up a highball 7C indeed :yes:
-
Bloody trad climbers... I'll stick to bouldering! :D
-
I'd be having an E grade for that regardless of the number of pads under it, it's fucking high!
-
You can have an (R/X) or a (!!) if that helps??
Wellsy - good plan, doing trad at the full weight of the given grade is fucking stupid and outdated these days :yes:

E grade acolyte Fiend confirms that a boulder grade plus danger rating is the appropriate system for short grit routes these days 🤔
-
Pretty sure I've been agreeing with the BMC method, of giving certain grit routes a both trad grade and highball boulder grade depending whether you onsight it without pads OR ground-up it above a pad stack, for about 15 years now.
Not that is necessarily the case for this route but I find anything with BIG TRAD NUMBERS on the title that aren't borne out in the picture to be an instant no-click for me, unless it's an unusual enough non-trade-route to be interesting regardless.
-
So boulder grade instead of E grade for short route OK, but sport grade instead of E grade for longer route not ok?
-
giving certain grit routes a both* trad grade and highball boulder grade
So boulder grade in addition to out-dated and rarely-climbed-like-that but does give a bit of useful perspective and context E grade for short route OK, but sport grade as an optional small bit of extra information in addition to the default E grade for longer route not also ok?
Fixed!

"instant no-click for me" bit of a stuck up attitude that, its still at the end of the day a
very rarely repeated line, calling things by their original trad grades is standard.

Whenever I see this guy climb, it reminds me so much of B'pool Sam when he was cranking hard. So much force in them arms, more akin to a power lifter with popeye forearms. Like, he shouldn't be able to move that muscle mass on that terrain. And if he needs to train for a problem is more than capable of taking the boulder home with him. I think Sam's would've had more mass on the arms too.

Although he looks like a big unit he's not actually that heavy, around the 65kg mark from memory. Totally agree on the power front though, I remember Dan V wrote a piece for one of the mags about 'front wheel drive, rear wheel drive and all wheel drive' climbers, it might not be the ideal for getting up the hardest problems but this guy is archetypal FWD and it's very cool to watch.
-
65-fucking-kg for that?? Tell me he's either 5'4" or has a negative BMI that's like helium compensating for the muscle mass.

Baring Head, lovely place, takes me back to stopping there for a couple of days about 20 years ago. Baring Head trivia - it's one of two locations on the planet used for it's purity of air quality to benchmark atmospheric CO2. The air that hits land there comes from the Antarctic and is free of impurities. Baring Head air is the reference standard of 'southern oceanic air'.

Not content with being a tin and copper mogul, I expect your garage is packed to the rafters with Baring Head air cylinders, the result of a dastardly plan to buy up the world's supply, drive up the price, and drip feed it out to desperate climatologists at premium rates.

I love how he does the 8B bit in about 30seconds, then goes in to full ledge shuffling mode for the next 5mins :lol:
-
Even more impressive he flashed it having to do it the jumpy way which I think is supposed to be pretty nails (even for 8b)

I'm pretty sure Carlo Traversi said the jumpy way was one of the hardest single moves he'd ever done.
Also, is it just me or is the audio a few seconds out of sync with the footage??

I wonder if there's much difference in the top outs. The Mellow vid looks a bit techy on the traverse right (but probably not droppable) to get to a juggy plod on the right. This bloke's finish looks scarier and more tenuous.
-
The direct looks a better line, though if I had done the bottom, I likely wouldn't care too much
-
Pretty amazing boulder (in my eyes, the best 8B in the world), the boulder is huge and this is pretty much the only thing up it. Crazy.
Always inspired me hearing the Quill did it all those years ago? Only Brit to have?

Pretty sure its never been done again getting the 3rd rail ( crux) with heel in the starting jug! That's some fuckin length that is. Narrow V10-like heel needed too. Hard release after was the crux for Quill. Definitely one of the best in the world.

Footage of Ryan doing it is so good. Unless you suffer from motion sickness, I guess.

Big Dyno at Dunlichity, also a sit for a half grade more. Grade to be decided. Probably somewhere between f7B-C for stand and f7B+-f7C/+ for sit depending on dynoing ability.... Had some strong (and sponsored) people try it but it's not been repeated yet....but both thought f7C/+ without topping it!

Hahaha Thanks Gaz, super spotter as usual
Mmmm its an interesting one, it was a cracking send and it is a fantastic line but i suspect it will see more Trad ascents just because of the logistics of shifting pads up the back of DunT plus the first ascent was with gear which is fairly obvious.
You fancy it?
-
Ha. Yeah, I fancy it but think I might need to up my game significantly before then.
Always fancied Sare at Pinnacle Crag too but failed to make it through a very blank section while checking on a rope so suspect that'll remain on the aspirational list too.

Yeah i agree, Pete, Dave and Robbie all made it look WAY easier than it actually is. Robbie reckoned Font 7c{with good conditions} into a high sketchy final section. Its a No Go for me as i cant afford to fall from that height any more.
Dave went to look at the Sare recently and couldn't make anything of it. He thought it was absolutely desperate{ i assume he hit the same blank section you describe}.
Did Richie originally highball that?
-
It was Mike Lee that highballed Sare. I seem to recall Rich saying the 7A+ grade was given with a bit of a tongue in cheek cos they had no idea really.
I guess it must have lost some more holds since Mike did it.

Having woken up in the Pedriza car park with ice on the inside of the tent in March I'd give it a very firm "fuck that" in winter.

I won't be bloody camping there. I went once at Easter and it was boiling. Went back at the end of January, it was still too warm in the sun, mint on cloudy days, a bit less mint when it started snowing.

Really liked the section of Pope on Heritage, so often successful goes look easy on video, but this really shows how hard he's trying.

Really good! Hard to say why it so much better than most similar efforts, but I guess it is partly down to attention to detail on the part of the film maker and partly because the main protagonists have climbing styles that are pleasing to watch and can articulate what they are thinking.

His body position on the send at the end was just amazing. Cool to see the progression through the attempts..

Well said Robbie, i think Ryan's {same guy who has done vids and pics for Dave Mac & Robbie Phillips} video is an honest light-hearted capture of a strong young climber projecting and topping out a really hard line. Well worth a watch, please don't be put off by Epic's title :)
-
Interesting it says at the end that he's the 5th Scot to climb 8B+. I wonder who's keeping a list... Remus?
Dave Mc
Malc
Rhys
Will Bosi
Max Milne
Hamish Potokar
So Rhys is maybe #6 but are there more?
-
Is Hamish Potokar Scottish? I thought he was a Bristol lad. You might be thinking of Hamish McArthur but as far as Im aware he hasn't climbed 8B+, happy to be corrected though.
The rest of your list looks about right though (based on a quick filter through https://climbing-history.org/list/3/strong-british-male-boulderers).
-
Hamish McArthur is also English anyway.
-
Aaaah, I guess being called Hamish and having spent plenty of time at Dumby I must have just got his Bristol accent mixed up with an Edinburgh Uni one....
I'll happily accept "transient new Scot" ;)
-
Being called Hamish McArthur and not being Scottish must be breaking some sort of law surely!
Hamish P is from Bristol, went uni in Scotland, but is now living in Spain afaik

Really good! Hard to say why it so much better than most similar efforts, but I guess it is partly down to attention to detail on the part of the film maker and partly because the main protagonists have climbing styles that are pleasing to watch and can articulate what they are thinking.
It's because it's really quite calm and peaceful, lets the climbing speak for itself, clear footage with nothing getting in the way, and the little bits of colour / filler and short and fun. I really enjoyed it, simultaneously impressive climbing and a gentle vibe - like the last problem Jim is on, great music, calm celebrations, and just feeling how his success was fought for.

I couldn’t get through it. Beautiful scenery, artfully shot and some amazing looking boulders. But too many jump cuts, weird stuttering sections and too little just straight up climbing. I understand they were trying to be arty but it just ended up feeling cluttered. Shame, but maybe just not my taste.
-
I was wishing for it to be a bit documentary esque, in the same vein as the video of Megatron with some chat and description of the area etc. Which, agree, looks utterly incredible.

There was a previous Wind River vid which had a bit more context from memory, can’t remember if it was part of that possessed film or a separate one.
Edit it is the first section of Possessed, which gives a more watchable overview for those who don’t want jump cuts and lofi hip hop remixes

Yup my thoughts exactly, i couldn't get through either
-
The Winds certainly have insane potential, I've climbed in the area but not yet committed to the backcountry. I've heard of several different groups who rent donkeys to carry the pads in - certainly more logistic than a normal bouldering trip!
-
The Mellow video didn't quite deliver for me either.
After a few minutes, I was convinced it would be their best video yet; I enjoyed the arty style and the music fit well, but then the intro never ended and it was essentially 20 minutes of B-roll! I still give them props for trying something different and I think this direction has legs if they can find the right balance (more uncut climbing, interviews).
The final boulder is incredible.
-
I didn't make it to the final boulder, maybe I should try again.
I might just be an oversensitive grandad but I wasn't keen on that track that used the 'N' word every 3 seconds.

Magnus occasionally puts out good videos inbetween the silly stuff and I enjoyed this one. It's also interesting to see Shawn struggle so much with a problem Will and Aidan flashed!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BiC-ypXGLU
-
Enjoyed that one, and the similar one he did with Ondra. Magnus makes a surprisingly good interviewer imo.
It's also interesting to see Shawn struggle so much with a problem Will and Aidan flashed!
From the vid it sounds like it's largely a wrist flexibility thing. I've got similarly inflexible wrists and it shuts me down on some problems (at a much more punter level). There's a sequence on Peckitt's Traverse at Biblins Cave where you reach behind you to a pretty decent pinch, but I just can't flex my wrist back enough to get my thumb on so it feels completely desperate (luckily there's loads of other sequences).
I'd be interested to know if anyone has had any luck improving their wrist flexibility, I've tried it a couple of times but it feels pretty painful (and boring) so I gave up pretty quickly.
-
I enjoyed that video, As said above Magnus’ interviewing of contemporary wads is nice. He talks from a position of understanding (as he is flipping handy himself) but also honestly wanting to know more.
Hard to put my finger on it all exactly just seems so wholesome.
Shawn is weirdly chill for an American? Funny to see him struggle on Vechio (obvs wrist flexibility is an issue) but also cool to see him happy to be filmed on something way below his limit that he finds hard. Obviously there is nothing wrong or unusual about this occurrence but must feel like you are opening yourself up to people making judgements. Nice one Shawn.
I hope Magnus gets himself into a Mellow vid.
-
Shawn is weirdly chill for an American?
His dad is pretty chill as well.
My wife had a session with Didier in the bouldering gym without having any idea who he was. She thought he was just another random middle aged good Toulousain who is somehow incredibly good at climbing.
-
totally agree with the reviews. Magnus doesn't always do stuff to everyone's taste (though I would argue that he is just doing what is required to gain prominence on a massively top heavy platform), but his stuff with Adam and Shawn are really great. Shawn comes across as an amicable and sincere person too.
-
It was really refreshing seeing Shawn getting shut down on something miles below his top level.
A good lesson in being kind to yourself when you get spanked on something which on paper you should crush.
Regardless of grade, if your body doesn't 'fit' the problem, its gonna feel hard!
Strawberries at curbar is my example. I just don't seem to fit the positions ::)
-
It's a strabge title isn't it, given that magbus isn't that far off doing it, and Shawn has had multiple sessions on it. It's almost like he'd chosen that title beforehand, but didn't get burned off quite as much as he'd hoped.
Is this the one that James Pearson flashed years ago?

I don't think so. The three 8A+/Bs he flashed in 2007 are Ganyemede Takeover, The Great Shark Hunt and Schule des Lebens. As far as Im aware Aidan was the first person to flash Vecchio in March this year.

Also maybe showing my youth but me and mates will ask for a "90s spot" when we want a close spot like that, usually something not that high but feels like you could take a nasty back splat

Love it. It's great seeing local hard problems get dispatched so easily and it clearly puts into context the level he's at. It seems unthinkable to flash Zoo York and do High Fidelity in a handful of attempts without really having to try very hard, but of course he was going to do that - 8B isn't even very hard for Aidan!
-
I actually thought this was one of the only Wedge vids unworthy of this thread tbh - it's ok, but didn't feel up to their usual standards framing wise (Hi Fidelity looks pretty nondescript in the vid, and needs a longer shot for the top to show the height). Plus the Tenzing advertising felt particularly jarring.
-
I reckon we're just getting spoilt - still easily worthy of this thread imo.
But that product placement did give me a good laugh ("I feel tired"... immediate cut to drinking tenzing). I get why it's there, and it's better than an actual ad, but it really did jar with the rest of the video :lol:
Keep em coming though - we are very lucky to have this regular, high quality content, with one of the best boulderers in the world.
-
"contains product placement" - not the worst offence in the world I think.
Feels like a quick drop from Wedge rather than the full length affairs they usually put out, I guess a page from Mellow's book?
Impressive though.
-
But that product placement did give me a good laugh ("I feel tired"... immediate cut to drinking tenzing). I get why it's there, and it's better than an actual ad, but it really did jar with the rest of the video :lol:
I did think the sledgehammer unsubtlety of that was done with a bit of a wink to the audience. Sort of saying 'this is the advert bit, we're only drinking Tenzing because we're getting paid'.
-
I found the product placement jarring.
I don't agree that product placement is preferable to actual adverts... because YouTube adverts are so frequent that YouTube would be unwatchable with them so they get blocked.
Product placement can't be blocked (props to the youtubers who include timestamps for their product placement so they can still get paid but you don't have to listen to yet another person banging on about how great Surfshark, Squarespace or NordVPN is) so it becomes a trade off between how entertaining the videos are vs how annoying the product placement is.
I've given up on a few otherwise good YouTube channels because their product placement got too annoying. I haven't done that for any climbing channels yet but I will if the product placement gets too frequent/in your face.
-
What climbing channels do you follow? I find most if not all of them pretty annoying because of the YouTuber persona they adopt; Lattice, Wideboyz etc. Mellow and Wedge do good problem footage I guess and don't go in for the gimmicks that so many channels are guilty of.

That was how I took it, especially having heard Aidan and Sam joke about advertising in their podcast.
I loved the video anyway but maybe more for the problems featured. Great to put Aidan's incredible levels of strength into context given how much time I've spent on 2/4 of them. Also solid evidence that Ben's Sit is at least as hard as Zoo and Rift Aversion! I thought before watching it that flashing Ben's would be mind blowing, as the crux move whilst obviously being hard is also weird, totally unique and highly dependent on body position, so getting it right on your first go would be quite something. Does anyone know if it has been flashed by anyone else?
Regarding Rift Aversion, the angle maybe isn't great but it is simply outrageous how easy he makes the crux move look on it. I've seen several very, very strong people on it over the last couple of years and that is a really hard, marginal and conditions dependent move. Amazing stuff.

Yeah I think the main sledgehammer was it making me laugh so abruptly that I paused the video :lol: but I'd like to think they would be reluctant to allow products to take over the videos so I trust they've got some self control

Mellow and Wedge are the top tier, but there's a few others that might be worthy of your time.
Ondra and Dave Mac both have quality channels. Stefano's can be good but occasionally he gets a bit too youtube. These are generally obvious from the thumbnail. Same goes for Emil Abrahamsson. Shawn Raboutou has started vlogging, but his personality seems to be very non-youtube and he clearly finds it a bit awkward, so these are fun. Based on Bosi's latest vid it looks like he might be starting to do something a bit more than standard beta vids too.
Edit: how could I forget Doylo's masterpieces!

Tom O’halloran is great. He does a lot of outside content but also great information on training, projecting tips etc which are aimed more towards intermediate/advanced but guess could be used by anyone. He also seems like a nice bloke which always helps

With lattice, I'll watch the videos that look like they might have some useful training knowledge. I don't bother with the YouTube clickbaity nonsense videos.

I also tap like Shawn’s videos becuase they are so non YouTube. I wonder if that will change in future, but he doesn’t really strike me as the character type to end up full YouTube.

Product placement is such a ubiquitous part of life now that it hardly even registered with me when I watched it. Don’t think I’d have even been able to say what they were advertising if you’d asked me immediately after. Wonder if that’s worse? Maybe subconsciously I’ll be more of a sucker.

Am I just really dense or does much of the latter part of the attached paragraph make no sense?
Seems to be treading a fine line between waffling nonsense and genius, and having read it a few times I'm leaning towards the former :shrug:
-
Maybe just a bit of a language barrier? Gotta admit I rewatched the vid a few times, as from the text I had no idea what he'd done.
-
Wagon was the first boulder of this trip which helped me to create a link with my old-me(s) through a physical reading, admitting the improvements and the worsening that happened inside my body. Walking back home without succeeding on a climb that you had already done might be bittersweet. But learning to feel the sweet in this taste has taught more than “simply” seeking the improvements. Understanding lacks and setbacks in bouldering is to me like a drop of knowledge in a sea of unknown.
This? might make more sense if you look back at the caption from his previous post (where he talks about coming back to Off the Wagon this year and how much harder it felt than first doing it 9 years ago)

Bing maps also has free OS maps, which does make it very useful.
Agreed, the end shot of that big overhang was very exciting, but it's not near Helvellyn so that one must still be unknown to most of us!

We use satellite images for site locations at work. Google is the default for urban environments but Bing often has higher quality, more recent images for rural areas.
Similar with street view: Google has covered much more of the country overall, but Bing is more likely to have covered tiny single track roads and access tracks with dodgy surfaces.

For boulder hunting I cross reference Google Earth pro, Bing maps and the BGS geology map viewer.
You can scroll back through historic aerial images on GE, which is really good as sometimes the lighting is wrong or there's too much veg to see the boulders in one image alone. Good for finding blocks in forestry areas too if you can find imagery from when the trees have just been cleared. There is a ruler tool too which allows you to measure rocks. This has proved pretty accurate when I've compared to facts on the ground.
As mentioned Bing is for the OS map layer which can be toggled with aerial imagery. It has a much better UI than trying to view OS maps on other sites (e.g. streetmap).
The BGS map will tell you the surface rock type of a place. Good for identifying likely places to look and finding additional outcrops of a known good rock type.
-
If you've got the OS maps subscription that's a third source of good quality aerial imagery. The 3D view in the browser app is really good, much better than google earth at rendering the landscape as a whole, although foreground detail depends on the imagery.
-
Www.Geograph.org.uk can also be handy for photos of an area. I've found a few new crags using it. Plus the site use OS maps which you can navigate around.

FLOAT reminded me of many of the old-school bouldering videos from the 2000s. Low-quality videography, high-quality climbing. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcnQ9vPHfxY
Hmmm yeah. I really tried to enjoy it, but I feel like I just watched a 10 minute advert (which I guess I did). There was about 1 minute of watchable climbing footage in it. I love this early 2000s style, but the only reason I liked it in the first place is because it felt organically gritty and you end up seeing so much climbing without much chaff. With all the cuts after individual moves, this film felt singularly unsatisfying. FLOAT seems to be getting decent reviews though, so I will give that a bash.

Wow, I just got chance to watch the Mellow Keenan Takahashi video and it might be the best one they've put out!
His description of why he likes highballing was interesting to me, because it's kinda what i've been into recently too (at a lower level of course). There's a different fulfilment from getting into the headspace needed to climb things where a fall has a reasonable chance of occurring and it might have consequences. Maybe it's the skate/BMX background that does it...
-
Maybe he’s / you’re just mental?
Those last moves were harrowing. But like you say, brilliant video.
More importantly, is it E11? :-\
-

Possibly wired for thrill seeking more than the average person, but I'd like to think I take calculated risks personally.
I think this one is still in the realms of a highball boulder rather than a route needing an E grade, but it's getting close. It has a good landing and it's at a height where it can be padded out sufficiently so that a fall would mostly be ok (with fresh enough joints!). I'd guess that falling from the top of this onto a good amount of pads would result in no severe injuries more than 50% of the time, but my opinion would change if, after toproping it, I found that a fall was likely to be uncontrolled and land me on my head!
-
Hi Liam, my tongue was firmly in my cheek writing that (I wasn’t seriously suggesting you’re unhinged) but limit highballs are impressive whatever the grade.
It does beg the question as to where the line between highball and route lies and what determines it. Height? Likely injury? Use of pads vs not?
Whatever, that ascent of Takahashi’s was stunning. What a film..
-
Don't worry, I assumed that was the case.
I don't think there could ever be definitive lines between normal boulders, highballs and solos, it's subjective.
-
No I think Liam's definitely mental. Especially the idea that this isn't a route. What would it have got if Dawes or Moffatt had put it up in the late 80s above a stack of car seats??
Although it's a moot point. American highballs are British grit solos and British grit solos are American highballs. I'm always curious to see an estimated E-grade for them tho.
-
It's high, but from my armchair it doesn't look that death-defying. Is it a similar height to The Great Flake? The move to the slot looks like it would produce a fairly clean fall? Obviously it's not safe but it equally doesn't look especially dangerous, certainly not compared to a couple of things he does in the video which look higher and with worse landings/snatchier moves that if you dropped them would send you flying off backwards.
-
He specifically says he's not into soloing and not into stuff where he might die. He's looking for a sense of potential for real but not lethal consequences following a fall. So very much in line with Liam there.
-
I'm actually in the process of making my own film* on this topic (and more broadly, exploration and creative expression in climbing, as opposed to chasing pure difficulty). Hopefully, I'll be able to express what I get from highballing there better than I could with written words.
*It feels wrong to use this word as just an idiot with a camera who doesn't know what he's doing! Almost as though i'm cheapening it's meaning, but I guess that's what i'm attempting to make. It will be firmly non-quality relative to the Mellow one though!
-
Bet you could count the number of people out there who aren't idiots with a camera on my fingers (and maybe toes). Go for the KISS approach and sure it will be great.

Yeah, best vid i have seen in awhile. I did raise an eyebrow at the best lines/blocs/boulders in britain/Uk narrative.
Tempering my rising Braveheart Scottish patriatism {as that stuff is mostly Bullshit} and seeing that even though Dan has tried a few hard problems in the Celtic nations, its pretty clear that logistically its always hard to project anything more than a few hours away in the UK, plus its probably an edit for an international market.
I would still love to hear Dan's thoughts on whether there was anything worthwile in Ireland/Wales or Scotland that he was saving for another time or just didnt make the list.

Pedriza is on just about everyone's radar, was on my wishlist when i did big Euro trips back in the late 90s. For bouldering it looks nothing like this though.

There’s not only loads of highballs in La Pedriza, there’s about 100x more bouldering in general and and 100x more scope for development than hoyamoros haha

two hours without all the gear- luckily you dont need to schlep the water in, but works out easier doing one trip with pads then another with as much food as you can carry.
-
Yeah my understanding was, massive walk (massive enough you want to camp up there) short season (it's high) and brutally sharp rock. The lines do look incredible though.

Only 6 minutes in to this but it's gripping! If the remainder is of the same standard, and I have no doubt it is then it deserves to be here...

Not really, e-biking uphill with pads on is a lot harder certainly than I had anticipated! Possibly harder than walking it, even on an unpaved road. Makes leaving a lot quicker though.

Yep - I think E-biking is more suitable if the approach is 2-3-4 hours by foot but is fairly flat or level terrain, I think anything that has a hard-ish technical gradient with say rock gardens etc it would just be easier to walk it slowly

I think fits the bill of Bouldering Videos That Are Mostly One Guy Not Getting Close To A Move In Bad Conditions, but are worth watching because of quality rock aesthetics, quality backdrop / setting, quality purity of line / move, quality walk-in time and quality perro:

Some pals of mine went bouldering in Wadi Rum earlier this year, putting up new blodder problems. One of them, Eadan Cunningham made a nice vid of their time there.
Check it oot...
Sorry that I don't know how to embed youtube straight onto here... tech isn't my strong point

Embedded fine.

Ha! I previewed it and it hadn’t!

I don’t think they ever show as embedded in preview. Only once you post it.

Nice Dunc, that looks like a pretty sweet spot.
-
I thought that was absolutely beautiful. Gave an amazing impression of the place, and didn't make too much of the sillliness that is bouldering. Just an amazing experience of being in a stunning place, and finding beautiful pieces of rock to climb. The landscape shots were jawdropping. And sandstone does lend itself to pretty features. Great job Eadan - hope you keep producing films like this. Maybe another one in Scotland.... :)
-
I thought this was great. Bouldering is serious business after all. ;D

I've really enjoyed this whole series of vids, I think it's great that he's putting all the bits in where he's not having a great day and losing his shit a bit, I think a lot of people would have left that out of the edit. Interesting exercise in looking back on it a year later too and seeing where he's improved his tactics and mindset.
-
Just shows, even wads screw up beta. Enjoyed it too, no issues with sound for me.

Anything from the guys at WOAH is great, West Coast Crimps (a modern take on Doylos masterpiece) and the 3 long form volumes are worth the watch.

I expect it's more a take on the original West Coast Pimp, which Doylo named his masterpiece after. Probably the first bouldering film I ever watched (on VHS). Looks good though, thanks for putting it up.

This, for one single moment at 13:00 minutes when Ondra mantles by his placing both hand on his own shoe. Never seen anything like it!
-
Absolutely mental. Also the drop knee on his own boulder is bonkers, but maybe we should just expect that as normal from him
-
that knee angle reminds me exactly how I injured my knee for 2 months :lol:
-
FFS. I can feel collateral and other ligaments flying across the room like cut bowstrings just watching that :sick:
-
Ondra finally vindicates a generation of Baby Boomers by demonstrating you can pull yourself up by the bootstraps.
-
[Pause for a moment of sycophancy]
Ondra is such a beast in literally every style of climbing. :wub: Notice me senpai!
[unpause]
;D
He really is such a wad and his psyche is infectious. That mantle was disgusting, but he also rinsed all the other problems too.
-
This could equally go in the chuffing equivalent as it’s a bit of both, but spotted this had been uploaded a few days ago.

Got to admire the spectacular arrogance of Joe Kinder in Players. Had to grit my teeth a bit through that section.

I just watched Spray by the same guy, and though all the guys are pretty arrogant too. And the pads look fucking tiny. Some cool spots though.

What a beast. 8B+ flash! Even some knees on for style! Proper fighting too.

I was 100% not ready to spend 42 mins watching someone try the same problem, but Lorenzi is a great character I really warmed to, and it was great to see his whole process on it.
I enjoyed the edit but might be a bit fussy for some.
Edit: Finbarrr beat me to it 😄
-
Loved it.
-
Some great failure footage for context and some dark gallic humour thrown in there. Shows the intensity of a project at one's limit.
-
amazing. Lorenzi's personality worked well for this kind of long format. Pretty intense!
-
I thought his comments about himself being a fat worthless loser were pretty hard to watch...
Doesn't seem like a healthy attitude towards a hobby/career and also not particularly great to showcase behaviour like that in such a high profile video of one of the hardest climbs in the world.
Given how frequently EDs have been in the climbing media in recent years it seemed.. insensitive at the least to have one of the best boulderers in the world, who is clearly absolutely shredded telling himself he's fat because he's falling off a 9A
-
I'm assuming you mean that you think they should have cut those bits rather than that you think he somehow was being insensitive by lambasting himself?
-
Yeah weird to put it in the video and also a shame that he feels that way.
If I was climbing with a friend and they were talking about themselves like that I'd be concerned.
Some of the YouTube comments said that the subtitles weren't very good and made his comments seem worse than they were :shrug:
-
I'm not sure this belongs in quality - aspects of it are likely to irritate some people I suspect - but it's an interesting tour of some of the highlights of Horse Pens 40 in Alabama. I got spend a couple of days there more years ago than I care to think about. It's a fantastic spot, and hands down the best rock I've ever climbed on.

ps. be warned, the climbers in this video have clearly climbed these problems before.

That is obscene. Treated that presumably steady top like it was the last few moves of a loose Pembroke VS though!

Surely that is THE 8C to be flashed. Going by style, Bosi and Roberts would rinse it. It's not hard enough for Albert to get out of his cave for.

Wrong thread I hear you say, but Ondra describes the first crux on Silence as the hardest boulder problem he's ever done. I assume the 2nd hardest boulder problem he's ever done is Terranova, which is probably 9A judging by Will Bosi's efforts and comments. Ondra is truly the GOAT.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTRES9eMccY
-
Didn't Pete Whittaker do this (Silence Crux) pretty quick? Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there a wideboyz vid?
-
Shall we upgrade Gioia to 9A as, according to his 8a.nu, that took Adam as long as Terranova and he thought they were a similar difficulty? ;)
I don't contest that Ondra is the best. But I do think his list of cutting edge boulder repeats is lacking, particularly if you consider the last 10 years, in which he's only repeated 4 8Cs.
Bouldering has come a long way in the last 10 years and my hot take is that he's avoiding the current hardest crop as he'd likely get shut down. Although I'd love to be proven wrong, so if you're reading this Adam, please get stuck into some of the 9As knocking about (anything but Alphane really).
-
I think we will need to see repeats before we can get actual opinions on these things. If Bosi did Terranova he'd give an honest opinion and it sounds like he'd say 9A
Honestly I'd quite like to see Ondras opinion on Alphane.

Oooooh controversial!
He has in that time done a lot of very hard boulder FAs on his home crags, which of course Bosi has been and sampled and confirmed grades. I'd be amazed if he didn't absolutely wallop Alphane and Sleepwalker, potentially Soudain Seul too. He just seems much more psyched for routes when he travels.
-

No one has proposed 9A for Gioia so why would it be 9A? Reading between the lines, Will Bosi seems to think Terranova is 9A and I'd say he's fairly qualified on the subject of 9A!
It was only my best guess that Terranova was Ondra's second hardest boulder. He confirmed Silence is the hardest, but the second hardest could be one of his other 8C+'s for all I know.

I'm with Bradders that Ondra would rinse Alphane, Sleepwalker and maybe Soudain Seul. He'd kneebar the new Charles thing to oblivion too. At one point, I thought he'd have no chance on Burden and maybe that would be the case, but I recently saw a video at Ondra's wall where Bosi set a boulder that was intended to be in his style, so that he could do it and Ondra couldn't. Obviously it was a board style crimp boulder and Ondra did it easier than Bosi! (as well as rinsing other problems Bosi couldn't do). Stefano Ghisolfi also did better on Burden than he did on the Silence boulder! I'd love to see him go on a bouldering rampage but he seems more interested in routes.
-
Isn't gioia controversial anyhow as the key foot broke and got better, got a bunch of repeats and then the foot got filled in by Core when he realised?
-

Fyi

I only mentioned Gioia to highlight that an individual's experience doesn't make or break a grade.
Ondra suggested Gioia was as difficult as Terranova. Nalle thought Burden of Dreams was (at least) a step above Gioia. Bosi thinks Terranova could be as hard as Burden. We obviously need more people to get involved to know what's what.
I'm with Bradders that Ondra would rinse Alphane, Sleepwalker and maybe Soudain Seul.
Jakob didn't exactly get on with Sleepwalker, never mind the sitter, perhaps a similar fate awaits Ondra.
-
So Ondra is approximately at the top level in bouldering then? (as well as sport climbing, big walling, onsighting, comp climbing, etc and therefore clearly the best). That was my point really! (and it's hardly a unique one ;D )
-
I'm in the camp of that ondra would get shut down on all of these 9A's miserably, with the exception of Alphane, which looks quite his style (essentially sport route masquerading as a boulder). The level is extremely high. Looking at ondra's track record on the bouldering:
- sent terranova / gioia long time ago (13 years), looks like he was about 10-20 kilos lighter, his biceps looks as big as my wrist. Dare to say he weighted less than Will.
- sent 2 8C+ about 4 years ago, both probably better graded as a sport routes, both over 25 moves, including double kneepads
-
I think the potential thing with Terranova in terms of difficulty is that Ondra did some of his mad drop knee action that Will isn't using, so it's possible that Will's sequence is 9A but Ondra's was not for him (if that makes sense?)
Didn't Pete Whittaker do this (Silence Crux) pretty quick? Maybe I'm misremembering but wasn't there a wideboyz vid?
I thin he did the 'easy' bit in the crack, the meat is actually getting established into the crack. Pete didn't magically become a high 8's boulderer just because it's a crack ;D

You are a braver man than me! I would almost never bet against Ondra! Always more of a shock when he struggles than when he smashes it out!
-
Whats the expression; never bet against the house!
Re Wideboyz, that clickbait vid kind of annoyed me cause its not like Ondra hasn't shown hes a very decent crack climber as well as everything else.
I think Ondra would probably be on for the flash on Alphane (thats a joke, but I bet he gives it 8C+ when he does it), and would make short work of the others. I'm with 36C that him trying these things is overdue if he wants to stay part of the conversation though.
-
I would love to see Ondra sack off the Olympics and instead go and try these boulders + things like DNA + BIG + Bibliography etc.
I was keen for him to win gold last time but now I just wish he’d forget that plastic crap!
-
I think he’d do well on these things but Ondra isn’t above some random
spanner in the works throwing him off - perfecto Mundo and Excalibur being prime examples…
-
There's a vid simply called Alphane on Amazon Prime atm. It's 40 odd minutes following the highs, lows and self loathing (!) Of Simon Lorenzi repeating everyone's favorite 9a boulder.
It's not bad, worth a bash etc
-
Before anyone spends any money on Amazon, I'm assuming it's the same one as this on the Mellow youtube channel?
https://youtu.be/9rDZAm60qzw?feature=shared

Yep that's the one. I'd missed it on the Mellow channel.
Just to be clear it's not worth the price of an Amazon subscription!!

Sorry, just grabbing the last relevant post for this to make sense, but Ondra states here that 9A is on his radar. Soudain Seul and Alphane are top of the list, but Burden isn't completely off the menu either...
