Fri Night Vid: Benn Stoker and Pool Traverse

© Supreme Odyssey

For this week's FNV I've followed a link on a really interesting UKC Thread about climbing films. The video is a belter, and I enjoyed the balance of super-cheesey and genuine. And everyone loves a bit of Eye of the Tiger!

It's made by Supreme Odyssey and they've got some other films worth checking out on their Vimeo Page.

Here's what they say about this vid:

"Benn Stoker, an average climber who like all of us has a project they really want to crush! Well, Benn's project was Pool Traverse at Widdop, a tricky 6b that even after 2 years of utter failure, mega flappers and horrendous midge bites was still on his tick list! But then, by some miracle Benn began to show progress..."

Cracking video! The eye of the tiger bit really made me laugh. Got some funny looks for shouting "go on son!" at my computer on his final attempt.

This is my most wanted local boulder too. Its so annoying! Probably fallen off it more than any other problem anywhere. So good though for basically 2 moves that get you about 1.5 metres off the ground! Nice one!
