Sorry if this has been posted before, but this is great...

Some very dramatic sound effects.

In reply to Rampikino:

Excellent stuff!

Harris: "Oh Man!... It's a frightening place!"

Barber: "Come on... Starting to rain you know?"

Harris: "But I want a runner!"

In reply to Rampikino:

Brilliant, I love it!

In reply to Rampikino: That was really good to watch, thanks for posting.

In reply to Rampikino:

The melodrama is fantastic - it's a shame it's such a short piece, but is excellent.

In reply to Rampikino:
Do you know the origin of the clip?

In reply to Rampikino: I loved the clip... shame about the Yankee doodle dany comentary... Thanks

i love these old climbing films
here's Livesey & Barber on Liberator:

"It is considered unsportsmanlike to go out climbing without having drunk vast amounts of beer beforehand."

another classic i've just discovered is Mike Hoover's "Solo":

You found some good stuff there from long ago with Al Harris and Henry Barber, and the next one with Henry and Pete Livesey trying to outsmart each other.

Al died years ago, was looking for the year and found a wealth of stuff on some of these threads, Check them out, the supertopo ones on page 2 may have more good vits not listed on that youtube one;

Brilliant video. Thanks for posting it.

Al Harris seems remarkably restrained from what I remember of him! Very evocative of the 1970s though and the Troll waist belt and EBs took me back. I've done Dream over 10 times since 1975 and modern protection makes it a much less stressful lead these days.

I was also at Tremadog, climbing Tantalus, when "Sh*t Hot Henry" climbed the crux of Tensor free for the first time ever. It was impressive to watch to say the least. Al Harris was there that day too, but was in a far more 'excitable' frame of mind.

"This route in Whales"...!

In reply to murdster:

Yeah, spotted that. I actually quite like the Yankee Doodle spin to it. Kind of adds to the quaintness.
