Brilliant! Every bouldering video should have a sliding child.

In reply to jon:

Great vid. Lovely to see a bit of humanity. Well done Ben.

In reply to UKC News: Great effort,this one's been waiting a while!

Great little film, looks very sparse indeed - well done sir. Looks as if chalk might be better than slapping your jeans too.

Its probably to try and get some warmth to his finger tips....

In reply to UKC News: Looked bloody cold. Fingertips must have been icy.

In reply to UKC News: Really good little video, refreshingly done.

In reply to UKC News: My goodness. He's bloody good.

In reply to UKC News:

Excellent footage ruined by the terrible music.

In reply to UKC News:
looks like he's got some chalk rubbed into his jeans where he's slapping um doesn't it.

In reply to UKC News: Well done Ben.

In reply to Ian Bentley: Isn't it called 'snowballing'?

In reply to The Pylon King:

No, it's excellent footage with music you don't like. I don't get the point of people making comments like yours

In reply to aln:

personally, I think it's a great track. good music, good vid, and a good effort (obviously)

Loved the hopeful right hand before the final move.

In reply to UKC News: Only just noticed but am I right in saying this is the same bit as the picture in the UKC banner at the top of the website? Comparing the video screenshot and the UKC banner photo

In reply to Morgan P:

Yes, I think the person in the banner is on the Promise

In reply to Tyler: The banner is Ben Bransby (HERO) on The Promise, about 2 metres to the right of where he is n the video.

Actually it could well be time for a banner change. I'll get on to it.

In reply to Jim Brooke:

I agree, Ben's video and choice of music is excellent but May's caving video is better still with even more appropriate music. Well done team Bransby.

In reply to UKC News: Obviously the technical aspect of this climb is incredible, but its just not a 'stand-out' line! Great effort all the same! I wouldn't show this to inspire a friend who was new to climbing but as a climber can appreciate it!
