No actual falling, but definitely not how to do it.
Very similar to GCW's film above  :-\ has he been learning from my amazing technique?

you have destroyed my anonymity, thanks Neil.   

The only Andy V I can think of is very short. However, The Viper is a xenophobe and wouldn't be caught on film in another country. You'll still be Averageman to me, dude.

This is def not how to climb
A fantastic route at JA Martin,

I would however recomend you take a spotter or two, and make sure the top holds are actually dry

For all that know the problem you know how shit the landing is and how small a target the landing zone is

Its the first time I have been scared on a boulder for a long time


enjoy

Technique.  Style.  Hat.  Power.  Erm:



Amazing! DBS looks really hard if you are tall - you don't get to say that very often!

Effort Neil! I've looked at this twice, bottled it both times - now I've seen you drop off successfully I might have to go back.


Might.

I must admit I was a tad scared at the fall, but once I ttok the fall, I dried the top holds and went straight for it, still scared with no spotters. The one thing is the boulder behind, I hit my arm pretty badly on it but it was fine.

go do it, fantastic problem

For my two penneth worth I reckon the hardest bit about DBS if you're of a decent height is squeezing your legs into such a tiny space at the start.

You're right about the quality word. And what on earth was it filmed on?

Yup - and on that vid, looks like some sneaky (cheaty?) use of a lower foothold in the beginning... tsk tsk..
I think knees should be mandatory on DBS  :)

Its certainly not the hardest move - but I'm 6'3 and the first move is always a wobbler for me (in a good way) if you have your left leg bunched up on a smear on the face and your right flagging down the chimney... great stuff! I normally flail once I get the break too!

Best background comedy in any videos so far. Sorry Neil, this caps your lad.

Get away! If Daddy does this now and he's not on film he'll kill you.

It's cropped and panned to get rid of the close up of a child's face staring into the lens.  The slight wobble at 0:21 is said children being gently pulled away by Mum.  :lol:

Personal favourite of mine only because i fell off at exactly the same point having not seen this video, left the problem for the following day only to find it had pissed it down over night and had to leave. Went back one month later and took me two days to get back to finishing it. the top out is piss as well. Is a vid of andy finishing it in good style, excellent.
