I think that guy is real too - pretty sure he was the guy who was such a westie that when we were on the way to a party once in a taxi, about 5 mins after we met him, we told the taxi to drive off instead of waiting while he went to the cash machine. Doylo might know?!

Dan is real, Stu and I met him in Siurana in 2001 - he was out there climbing with Rich when Rich was still a teenager.

[AMorris]

ah ukb, the place so sceptical that not only are ascents doubted, entire people are

Yes because he was fucking nuts and probably would have got us all beaten up.

I bet you had a mechanical camera tipping device with a radio transmitter linked to a pressure pad on the pre-crux hold. Also what was the problem?

Sprung. Autocorrect attacked the video name.

I'll happily go back and disprove the doubters. You just need arrange care for my kids, drive me there on your expense and my partner will want to come too. Come to think of it, there's quite a few problems I'm willing to prove I've done if you want to take me there 

[Coops_13]

Ugh, had this happen to me more than once. Once lost my phone down a hole in Crafnant...

I filmed my hardest redpoint to make sure I had evidence. Crux starts at 2 min 16.

Can't believe you don't have a backup, you can hear the main camera battery die at 9s, phone-in-shoesandal saves the day

Hmm, not sure what to think of that. Does seem like proof is still required. And I’m not sure how he can say he just climbs for himself if he’s got commitments to sponsors and brands?

Yeah the hole just got bigger.

He's climbing for freedom and vibez but who pays for his van?

Imagine the treasures waiting to be found under the crafnant boulders. I reckon there's entire university climbing clubs stuck down there.

One of Chris Davies’ trainers too. Walked down with a plastic bag on his foot.

[Moo]

was there a video ?

[cowboyhat]

ZING!

[Doylo]

No, I was on the other side of the boulderfield and heard a scream and when I got there the trainer had gone.

[nai]

Just curious Monk, why would you need too?

Do you never find yourself wondering if it really happened after climbing something? I frequently do, obviously have a belayer for a route but I often find I need video evidence of boulders so I can be sure I did them.

[Fiend]

I find myself wondering if Mr S C RapeGoat is really going to claim any of the Depot comp wall problems he apparently climbed whilst failing to match a single one of the finishing holds 

[Mr E S Capegoat]

Firstly Fiend, only losers and sycophants match finishing holds. However, I know you love to pander to convention and be bent over the table of compliance with a hot buttered crumpet between your cheeks.

Hey up Ian, I sometimes get that sensation of disbelief after climbing something and dig why you or anyone would want footage as a personal reminder / memory. I’m mostly coming at this from the position of desiring a state of not feeling the need to prove to others. Even the term ‘evidence’ makes my skin crawl, are we in fucking court being judged? Also I wonder if the state of disbelief is about this also, a sense of being dispossessed of the experience. Owned by the other. Cue the thought ‘OMG did I really do that? I can’t / No one will believe it’. For this reason I’ve stopped filming most things these days and just ride out that anxious sensation. Although I did try and film Old King Cole to send to Andy, guess what, the fucking phone memory filled up at the first gear....
