Jerry's cellar back in the dayVideo

Today I just had to share this video of Jerry Moffatt and Ben Moon training in Jerry's cellar back in the day. It says in the video it was filmed in 1998, but to me it looks more like 1988?

In a podcast I made the other day with Alex Megos, one of the strongest and most dedicated of todays top climbers, we talked about whether the likes of Ben and Jerry were as strong as today's best. Alex' opinion was that they were, if not stronger.

Who can do a one arm pinkie pull-up on an edge today, like Güllich and Albert could?

I was lucky (?!) enough to watch this video in its entirety recently on (unnamed) someone's laptop before the clip was posted by cafe Kraft. On top of The Real Thing, and One Summer videos, this neatly captures all the dedication that went into their sends back then. Plus the quintessential Jerryness of being Jerry. Excellent!

Great video. Ben and Jerry were my childhood climbing heroes. The camera loves Jerry!

I got it to work by going to the cafe Kraft Facebook page... Press the F on the bottom right of the video.
