ok that last one was a little weird.

although one sympathizes with the sharing a flask in a cave during a thunderstorm thing.

Aretes have always been my fave feature, and this is on my list for sure.

This reminded me of the video of Michele Caminati flashing Master's Edge a couple months ago.

Someone else created a new thread about this movie, but it seemed so appropriate to repost this here as well. The movie is available to stream until 11/20 but it is definitely worth the time.

I have a major crush on Hazel Findlay - she is so RAD!

Not exactly Trad, but involves a lot of stemming and chimney

love the move at 5:55-6:01 on the Quarryman vid.

The Quarryman vid seems more like a video resume for a stunt man, rather than an actual climb. "Here's a few examples of the different stunts I can do."

He pulled all sorts of weird shenanigans to send that thing.

Yeah, the movement alone makes that Quarryman video trad-worthy! One thing, I remember that the route recently saw a rare repeat (can't remember by whom), and it is supposedly a very solid 8a/5.13b, so, the youtube description of it as 11d is just wrong (as well as the fact that it gets an E-grade; how does a sport line get an E-rating?).

In the movie there's a little line saying "E8 7a" as he starts off. The 11d rating is probably a mistranslation -- French sport 7a is about Yosemite 11d. This climb is apparently British 7a, which is about French 8a.
