Every now and then, you get to witness a run of cutting-edge performance that defines an era of the sport. Even rarer, is when you see that purple patch unfold in an area that's not in the media spotlight and is renowned for sandbag grading. This past summer, saw Aidan Roberts climb not just a couple of outstanding Lakeland boulder projects, but a whole slew of FAs and repeats up to 8C+/V16 in just a six week period. We're also not talking of lines ignored by the best - they'd already seen attention - they are problems that climb some of the proudest boulder faces in the Lakes and show off the best of British climbing.
I had high hopes for this, but it excelled beyond them all. It certainly brightened up my day and fuelled the fires for some local climbing throughout 2021.
That said, I could also do with knowing the answer to Glenn's question - where are those shoulders available to purchase?!?
Really enjoyed that. I love films about UK bouldering. Gets me psyched to get out bouldering more. Admittedly I get there and instantly remember, oh yeah that's right, I'm absolutely shite! Oh well. Do need to get back to Carrock though, get all my skin surgically removed in 15 mins flat.

I'm not a boulderer... but that was the business. Well done!
34:00 mins in, anyone know where I can get a set of those shoulders...?
Wow...

Outstanding! This has got to be the best climbing film (of any discipline) I've seen in years. Great stuff!
