| It is a well-known fact that the bulk of climbing movies that are flooding the internets these days are bouldering videos. However, once in a while, some good footage of a gear route that I've always wanted to see in more detail comes out. Post them here! Bonus points for lesser-known footage, or stuff that is not from widely-released climbing movies. The Shadow, in Squamish (just posted on dpm.com today!):
Maya Smith-Gobat on Salathe headwall (I think I'm in love): And, great footage of Matt Wilder on Pyromania (warning: I think this requires a subscription to deadpoint's "The Stash," and it also contains footage of belaying while holding a baby, which apparently pisses the internet off) www.dpmclimbing.com/climbing-videos/watch/matt-wilder-climbi>>> |  FLAG |

| Holy Shit. That guy climbing Proper Soul deserves mad props. Thanks for posting that. I was trying to find the video of Brian Kim on the FA of Monumantle in the Gunks but couldn't track it down, anyone know the one I'm talking about? |  FLAG |

| One of my favorite forums in a while. Thanks for all of these wonderful distractions! Here are a couple more: This is one of my favorite clips, from the film "First Ascent" I believe:
I think this was posted in a forum a while ago, and is similar in style to the "Proper Soul" clip above: And one I am sure a lot of you have seen, the FA of Cobra Crack by Sonnie Trotter:

| Great thread! Thanks for starting it. Unfortunately I have no awesome videos to contribute.
Dave Holliday wrote: Great videos! What is the location and rating of the route that Nicholas posted (the Fear of Climbing)? Do I assume correctly that it's located at the Red River Gorge? +1. That climb looks great! I looked around a bit on the internet, & could find no info other than a bunch of links to that video. It looks like the RRG, but where & how hard? I would like to maybe give it a go some time when I'm back home. Thanks for any info anyone can provide. |  FLAG |
