In reply to UKC News: Why don't climbing videos show much climbing anymore!! I don't know about anyone else, but I wan't to see the whole ascent! I can't stand it when they cut out moves etc. For example, there wasn't really any footage of steve McClure doing any on the Quarryman moves, just holding onto a few holds.
In reply to UKC News: would of been nice to see a marmot waterproof out in that rain in the beginning of the video the rest of us go out in north wales rain no matter

In reply to Dr_C: Definitely not a grumpy old man! :P
I watched Stone Monkey recently, the ascent of The Quarryman showed pretty much every move, all the clips, it really lets you watch the movement and footwork, new films seem to show small sections of screaming and grunting, no gear placing and not many moves at all.
