A short film by Climblox.com exploring the thin line between hi-ball bouldering and full-on soloing. It features several well known climbers on some classic peak problems.

its quite simple, mats to protect the ground is bouldering, mats to protect a fall is highball, an when you use mats in hope that your hips dont become your shoulders is soloing. simples !!

This Ryan Pasqual chap, we know he can climb pretty good but does he have to look so cool while doing it? It just takes the p*ss!

Oh, and who are the Barnsley Virgins? Very intriguing.

In reply to Calder: Great vid.

In reply to UKC News:

What a good little video

In reply to UKC News: Great stuff, like a mini and less scary consumed. Elm street lob was a fine ride

In reply to Calder:
"and who are the Barnsley Virgins?"

and where can we find them...?

In reply to Calder:

I'm still not sure climbing with your hood up is cool. As he's ground up'ing an E8 We'll let him off. It was bloody cold that day as well.

One thing I forgot to point out is that all these climbs are done ground up. Big difference to head pointing things with loads of pads.

Apologies for bastardising the E grade system it was really only something that we used to joke about.

Cheers for the vid, first film footage of carless torque?

In reply to Owen W-G:

I know outcrop films have filmed Ned on it, really looking forward to their finished film.

In reply to UKC News: Fab film - I like to see Big Ron's routes given the respect they deserve - no bouldering mats (or spotters) for him!

In reply to UKC News: what an awesome video . . . .

In reply to UKC News:
Great video. Good to see people looking like they just went out and had fun playing.
carless torque looks like beautiful climbing but silly hard.

In reply to UKC News: Absolutely Brilliant Vid, makes me wanna become a wad and move over to Sheffield for the winter! A bunch of Brilliant climbers attempting Awesome looking lines in good style!

Caff and Ryan especially just climb so effortlessly well, I hope I can one day emulate!

Nice video. I thought there was definately some 'more than' highballing going on (especially at Millstone).
It's truly awe inspiring and amazing to watch the techniques on display!

In reply to Cragrat Rich: Inspirational
