To celebrate the launch of our new Bouldering Forum, we are having a Bouldering double bill tonight.

The first film is from Adam Lincoln who has a UKC id number of 20! (that means he has been around right since the beginning). It covers his recent trip to Font...

Is it just me or does Sky look like the most do-able 8b+ ever? Or is that just because he makes everything look so easy..

Really good 27 min video of Nalle bouldering in Switzerland and Austria if anyone is interested:

Check out the extras on Progression for a more realistic idea of the difficulty.

The first move looks not too difficult and then you see that the edge he has infact dynoed for is tiny!!

In reply to UKC News: I have to say nothing could inspire me LESS to visit Font after seeing the Lincoln video. Not worth showing in my view. Static camera positions, often from poor viewpoints, distracting background and foreground clutter, too many spotters taking up too much space, no commentary, dreary repetitive electro muzak, no storyline etc, it's just a self seeking photo promo done with no style or design. There are many better ways to clutter up the forums and news sections. Sorry.

In reply to UKC News: I thought it was pretty decent. Not the best filmed maybe, but adam said he'd do it differntly if he were to do it again. Thought it showed some good problems being crushed and the forrest always looks good. For a freebie, nice one.

In reply to UKC News: Anyone know who the artist playing at the end of the S.Africa video is?

In reply to UKC News:
The font stuff becomes offensive as well as rubbish. Negative vote from me.

In reply to UKC News: The font one seemed a bit hazy. Possibly just not suitable weather to film without a good video camera but maybe because to many shots were directly facing the sun. There are some good comments on the "what makes a good bouldering video" thread. The key suggestions seem to be

1) Commentary
2) Storyline
3) Close up as well as wide shots
4) Short edits

good luck with the next vid

A bit harsh. It's an amateur video and promoted as such, nothing more. Showed some strong climbing, nice scenery and had some decent music at times. Some of the humor wasn't really to my taste but otherwise not a bad effort.
