In reply to UKC Videos:
Love some of the footage in this video… makes me look forward to trying out a lot more bouldering in the Peak when I move back to the UK this year.
Chris is an undoubtable strong climber, though having read interviews with him and some of his blog, the topic of sponsorship (and his lack of it) always seems to come up.
Tip for any wannabe pro climber… as a low to mid grade punter, if I'm inspired by your ascents and the stories crafted around them, I'll likely buy products (consciously or subconsciously) from the companies that (eventually) sponsor you.
For me, having to listen to complaints about lack of sponsorship severely drags down the inspiration factor...
