This was OK, if a little too droney in places. Great looking route. Almost seems funny that the bolts are sat right there:
QuoteThis was OK, if a little too droney in places. Great looking route. Almost seems funny that the bolts are sat right there:Just watched this. The thing that stood out for me is that film is basically about Heather trying to do the route, but more about her struggling with a lack of self esteem and feelings of low self worth. Near the beginning her husband says "I love it when hot women do amazing stuff". It seems amazing that this qualified approval - her efforts are only valid because she is "hot" is not questioned at all in the film, as that is the sort of thing women especially have put upon them all the time that could perhaps contribute to issues of low self esteem etc. etc.
For those of us of a certain age this is worth a watch,
Frome Valley esoterica, from the maker of the excellent Bristol buildering video a couple of years back. It's slow, specialist interest, and won't be coming to epictv soon. I liked it.
I liked it to, a lot. Much of the climbing does look terrible, but that's not the point. These local spots are an important facet of the British climbing scene and the film really captured that.
Cheers for that teaboy. Patta's a beast though, always has been.
For those of us of a certain age this is worth a watch, yesterday it wasn't possible to view without signing up to Epictv but today I can get on withouthttps://www.epictv.com/media/podcast/one-year-challenge-at-50-7b-to-8b-%7C-old-dog-new-tricks-ep-1/606781
Not sure why that Old Dog New Tricks one's doing in this thread ..... it just seemed like a non-quality Lattice advert to me.
Old school US business in authentic "which pixel's Sharma?" quality. Can't remember seeing it on here before.
Sharma did pretty well on that redpoint given that someone was bouncing around next to him for the entire time. Quality old-school video.
