Some cool climbing

1st here's a vid- really well shot of one of the worlds top women climbers on a super hard climb-


Natalija Gros from Jure Breceljnik on Vimeo.

and here's one, shot by my own fair hand, of the rather excellent Holger, German-born local-based, easy going friendly climber on a tough boulder problem on my local crag- good to see you again Holger- thanks for the beta on my problem :¬)Oh- and Holger's just completed a first ascent of one of the hardest problems there- a traverse of the whole cliff face- I forgot to ask him the grade....



(amazing to compare Holger's static controlled style on "Be Ruthless" with Sam Cattells's dynamic movement on the same problem (see previous Pantymwyn video))

A new rock star is born....

Close at the heals of Adam Ondra is climbing sensation Rachel Blackwood- rarely has such natural talent been evident- Rachel cruises a 3, making the grade look easy. It's only a matter of time before Rachel is the name on everyone's lips, forgotten will be such dinosaurs as Sharma and Andrada- make way for the new generation of superclimbers....
