Was there a video on climbxmedia about DG?
Does anyone have it?

twas called, quite simply, "Four from Font"

i've got it on my hard drive at home and could be convinced to sling a link up for a short while - my bandwidth wouldn't handle too many downloads

all highballz
Big Boss is butch undercutting to a pocket finish, pumpy by all accounts.

Tristesse is a slightly overhanging pillar, big moves of poor holds, slabs out at half way (top looks about E1)

BIg golden is bulge climbing on little edges/slopes i think.

Fourmis rouge is "easy" looking groove to a high finish on poor slopers (crux).

the "big" in "Big four" comes from the fact they are all high, intimidating, hard and all within 12feet of each other. I've never tried any of them, bit scouse has so will be of more use on this one.

will PM you the link to get it - can you then distribute it via your P2P stuff - too many downloads would kill my bandwidth - its a 60mb file!

Tristesse is the most straightforward- and allthough it's Big- the hard climbing is all low down.
Big Boss is butch,steep and high with a tricky finish on small pockets.
Foumis Rouge i havn't tried but its an awkward finger crack to a high slopey tussle.
Big golden starts as steep jug pulling into a bulge which is tackled on small gastons and crimps.

Got the video - thanks Stu  :D

I see what Dave means when he says "crimping the tits of duel"  :shock:

Can share it on p2p, but can't put it up on ukb coz it's climbXmedia's, even though they've gone under.
