Boy, has this been an edifying spectacle.

I'll second that...

An insight into the top end of the sport you simply dont get on DVDs or as mutterings overheard in  a pub. Certainly brought me back to my PC over a dozen times over the last 24 hrs... I've nearly forgotten about my trashed ankle; great distraction therapy.

John. Are you sure if was my comment though? Im asking because I don’t believe it was me that wrote that. Can you check that it is not someone else’s quote? I'm not calling you a liar, but would like confirmation.

With regards to the Careless video. I would be happy to show you, when I get hold of a copy from home. However, just for the record, I was supposed to be supplying the careless video for use in Sam and Rhy's new video. But when I heard of the rumors/gestures from them, amongst others, I obviously felt reluctant to freely provide my video for their use. Which at the time I believed was fare enough. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight it was not the right thing to do, but at the time I was understandably pissed off.

ps, It was never an onsite. Nor was it claimed to be. It was bouldered as all boulder problems should be.

pps, As already commented both Adam and Dense had the opportunity to watch an ascent first hand, but both refused my offer.

It's a shame isn't it. Such an embarrassing sport in most aspects. Still, it's all a learning curve.

it's not a shame per se....

better out in the open I suppose - i dont get most of what you're all going on about but it's perversely compelling reading... this forum is a bit like listening to the Archers: know the plot roughly, dont know all the characters but every once in  a while there's a gem of an episode.

Or not exactly a gem of an episode in normal terms, but an episode that winds everyone up and causes a great many people to just turn off (that was not meant as a diss to any of the protaganists by the way; I understand your passion and drive to respond).

Good analogy by the way.  I really do hate the Archers though.

No problem. I was fairly sure it was not my writing (as it didn't have any typos) ;)

More like Twin Peaks. It's all a bit wierd and there are loads of odd people. You think you know roughly what's going on most of the time, although there are the occasional curveballs that don't make sense but you shrug your shoulders and enjoy it anyway.

Although it's shit from Season 2.

Worthwhile. Blokes in Nappies, Blokes in Fancy Dress, Cars stuck in mud, Arrests, Transmissions failing.

And some climbing. I suspect Doylo has still got a few hundred copies under his bed.

After a few minutes thought (quite long for me), I realised that you weren't on about the Archers.

Yeah, top film.

Always up for some psyche material (especially as there's nowt to climb out here in WA).  More than willing to cover expenses of media and posting.

Any chance of seeding a torrent though?
