Simply incredible. I'm getting pretty annoyed about kids climbing stuff I could only dream of!

and sorry to say but i think this illustrates the gulf in standards between "kids" in the UK compared to the rest of europe. or maybe the grades are softer over there ;o

Or maybe it doesn't rain quite so often. 32 8a+ could take a lifetime in blighty

Very impressive! :) However, the editor of that clip should be shot! Was there any need to reuse music from a 80s porn flic?? I don't think we can let them off just because their French, either. J
