A friend of mine is in this one.. I thought it it was a nice view on starting crack climbing - plus the end is pretty funny!

That's a nice fun video of climbers enjoying themselves despite doing something that they're slightly rubbish at.
If those two famous crack climbing blokes are called the 'Wide Boyz', what should this lot be called?
Clean answers only please...

Good grief, that's a gnarly place to start!

@ Greasy Prusiks:

It's Zippatrocity (f7B+).

That's the difference between HVD and proper climbing...

Good video, well made. Congrats to both the climbers and the makers (who, from the credits, appear to be partially the same folks).

Thanks.

It looks so much easier than that in the video, very impressive.

To the OP: If you want more people to see it then climbing daily (on YouTube) do a sick sends feature for this type of thing. They'd probably be interested in showing it.

That is brilliant. I particularly like the bit at the end "Watch me, watch me (*oh I am going to die*), oh there is a hold, " I can relate to that!!!
Had more fun watching this video than I had with any climbing videos of the last few years.

Yep, I still do that thing where I am in a ridiculously strenuous and awkward position, bust a gut to place a bit of gear and then instantly see a jug and two good footholds to relax on.

Not a bad idea - I'll pass that on!

Why not just 'the fister sisters'? ... On second thoughts ...

Come on, you know you want to.... just imagine the prospect of moving from grit zero to grit hero (would certainly give the finger to your doubters here) ... a harder variation could even be called zimpatrocity... I'm sure I saw some video of you supposedly on a f7A and its always been a "hard man" problem (if the OP can forgive the sexism... lovely film btw). Worst case you get a fun film with blood and guts.

It's a personal hygiene issue
