Don't watch if you don't enjoy people saying "f*ck" quite a lot, punching bouldering mats, wearing beanies while taking their shirts off or Johnny Cash.

9/10 for this.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

But did he ever manage to finish it?!

In reply to MrJared:

Nope, he popped up on UKB to say he never wanted to see it again...

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Genius!

In reply to Frank the Husky:

This is basically me every weekend except I change my shoes every 10 minutes whilst muttering that 'I'm wearing the wrong ones' or 'the other ones felt better before'.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

If you don't chuckle at that you're probably dead. Nice one, thanks.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

That's hysterical!!!!

In reply to Fishmate:


I am probably dead.

In reply to Frank the Husky:
Much more entertaining than watching some sun tanned , sponsored hero.
This made me laugh out loud several times. The funniest bit is about half way in when he s half a gnats knacker from getting it and his foot pops........noooooooo.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Think this should have been the Fri video! It was great.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Absolutely love it. The perfect microcosm for bouldering...

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Thank you.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Oh god, it's everywhere. Thanks for the love. I didn't do it, to be honest, I planned on never going back there, but now I feel I have to.

In reply to Lemony:

I don't, but I think I may have to...

In reply to saalty:
I'll buy you a pint when you do .
Edit : video evidence please .

In reply to saalty: I don't know who you are - but you're the best.

In reply to mike123:


I know, those things are so dull. Stupid quotes about life and obvious efforts to include logos. This is real, man.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Chuffin brilliant!

In reply to saalty:

My favourite video in ages! Your pain is our gain.

In reply to mike123:

You're on. I'm back there in April...

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Obviously not the best at climbing though! But thank you, I'm glad it made you chuckle

In reply to saalty:
Great.
I expect a shot of you and your mates walking through the woods carrying bouldering matts , a sequence showing you taping up , looking at your hands and talking about your " journey" and obviously the send in slow mo.
One Spring many moons ago a couple mates spent many many sessions on child's play at back Bowden, back when it was still hard . There were lots of toys out the Pram moments which would be great to be able to watch back .

<hijack: CP is at BD isn't it, not BB, /hijack>

Good video, could relate to that!

In reply to Fraser:
I was about to reply , I have no idea what your talking about . But yes . Sorry .
Edit : back then this was all fields you know .

In reply to mike123:

And then, as I reach the top of the boulder, a slow mo scream of joy, apocalypse now style. And of course, the interview afterwards, discussing what this all means to me.
I'll do my best to make this a thing, but all this hinges on me actually sending it.

In reply to saalty:



There is no IF , only WHEN .

In reply to mike123:

You forgot the slow mo chalking up segment. Lots of chalk blowing through the air. Very. Slowly.

+1

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Not bad for a bouldering vid; I got half way through before binning it

In reply to Frank the Husky:

Wonderful. Very funny, and wonderfully chosen music - and the perseverance is awesome.

In reply to Mutl3y:

And a low-angle dolly shot that starts with focus on some flowers and then shifts to the boulders. Plus the obligatory close-up of some lizard/beetle/frog or whatever.

In reply to HakanT:

Don't forget the slo mo hand clap with chalk dust flying off everywhere.

In reply to Frank the Husky:


I recognise a fellow Stoke local. I know nothing of bouldering but this must be tricky because he usually looks pretty competent at the wall!

In reply to saalty:

This is how you do it.

In reply to saalty:

The frightening thing is, I could use that as an instructional video to improve my heel hooking.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

This is brilliant.

In reply to Frank the Husky:

That really brightened my evening after a shi##y Monday at work. Brilliant swearing & Inspired music choice.
Thanks for sharing!
