Nice vid, first fall looked like it hurt, lucky he wasn't.

That second route is not a boulder problem, its a route at that height!

it is pretty highball, was wondering if it has a direct finish rather than escaping off left - is that chalk on the line or not?

Obviously the trad finish.

If anybody hasn't seen the Franco Cookson epic then it is here and it is mental that he survived let alone didn't break any bones.

It's in the quality chuffing vids thread, but this is a far better place.

Looks like the ledge part-way down somehow took momentum out of the fall without hurting him. Amazing! Perhaps those are some kind of magic pyjama-bottoms.
