UKC

Climbing with Maya - Video Series starting today

© Adrian Samarra
Later today we have a new video series about to hit UKC. 'Climbing with Maya' is a short 6 episode series following Bristol based climber Maya Holding as she hits her local crag of Cheddar and makes a couple of trips down to Portland.

This isn't a high-flying, high-budget super-production, this is a normal, everyday climber doing what we all do - going climbing. But what this series does capture is the struggle, the joy and the just plain fun of getting out on the rock.

Maya is breaking in to the seventh grade - attempting a few 7as and 7a+s. The series follows her progress on the routes as she gets closer to redpoint time. Will she crack one of them? We'll have to wait and see.

Episode 1 will be shown in the Friday Night Video slot today at 5pm. The next 5 episodes will be on next week from Monday to Friday, also at 5pm.

The series is shot and edited by Adrian Samarra. You can read more about Adrian below.

Am I the only one who can't see the vid ?

Looks really promising: I like the concept a lot. One of the best climbing videos ever along these lines was Nick Tarmey's 'Living for the Weekend' about a year in the life of the Glasgow University Mountaineering Club.

Was that the one where he somehow persuaded Ben 'n' Jerry to walk into Dumbie in rain and midge? That photo of thenm trudging in with cagoules and bouldering mats on their backs, looking as though they'd each just swallowed an entire barrelful of cold sick, is possibly my favourite climbing photo ever. Can someone please post it up?? jcm

Great idea. Looking forward to it! Esp as it focuses on Cheddar.

No, it's this one: http://climb-guide.com/reviews/videos.html "Living For The Weekend - A Year In Glasgow University Mountaineering Club More of a lifestyle film than a climbing video, although climbing does feature highly. Nick Tarmey has produced an amusing vid, with some excellent climbing moments. Starting with a simple stroll up a munroe, to daring and dodgy mixed ice routes in the Cairngorms, then an Alps trip and finishing with some Colorado ice. In amongst all this there is a large amount of drinking, puking, and sheep chasing. The climbing is not always at the cutting edge, but the climbers are at their limit, which makes it all feel fairly serious. Except when Nick solos an E5. The best climbing video out there."
