Oh holy hell that looks awesome!

And yes, I'd probably be shaking like an epileptic while trying to go up that thing. Wow oh wow!

Oh sh*t, we're greenlighting climbing videos now? Awesome.

That line looks like pure misery.

/those guys are probably the 1% of users who buy a #6 camalot and actually use it.

No kidding. And I thought my arms were in good climbing shape.

Yeah...I can't bring myself to drop $100+ a #6, *or* a #5 for that matter, just because of a couple of lines at the local crag (especially since the "local" crag is 200 miles away). Those guys looked like they had several. Awesome vid.

Pretty good video.
Overhangs get my heart going, big time.

The largest cam on my rack is a #3.5; not because I hate off-widths, just can't climb them all that well. Neat climb, figures it would be Brits.

How the hell do you place a two-pound boat anchor while hanging upside down from stacked hands on rock the consistency of dirt clods?

/yeah, I snuck onto the rez at 0300 to hike five miles to this POS rock.

The moment she steps on the bolt at 3:03, I lose all interest.

awkwardly sized, unpopular cracks that are too wide to fist jam but too narrow to chimney.

Fist-jamming and chimneying sound like things you'd see in a demonstration tent at the Folsom Street Fair.

What the hell is off-width? It looks like they're just climbing a giant butt.

She is edging her shoe above the bolt, watch it again closely.

What a lovely collection of videos guaranteed to pucker your asshole. I'm terrified just watching some of that.

That kid is going to free solo one of the big El Cap lines someday, posing for pictures and chatting on the way up as if it were the Royal Arches route.

On the day that happens, I'm going to calmly walk into my garage, pick up all my climbing gear, throw it in the trash, and never again speak of rock climibng to anyone, ever.

He is not human.

It made my palms sweat just to watch that. For several years, my climbing buddy had an executive job in the bay area. He do major climbs on the weekends, then be back in the boardroom on Monday, with everyone else asking him what the fark had happened to his hands....

I'm not sure I agree about her not standing on the bolt. I won't argue you though, because you posted two of my favorite videos. May I add a third?

She's easy on the eyes, and she's pushing boundaries too (new window)
