Below Zero 8B+ | Weekly Video

Below Zero 8B+ | Weekly Video

In typical Scotsman style, this week’s video from Dave MacLeod is short but sweet. With fellow Scot, Will Bosi, having made the first ascent of Below Zero at the start of January (the stand start to Macleod’s boulder, Zero, 8B), it was only a matter of time before Mr Scotland himself turned up to dispatch the problem. Found on the Wobble Block at Rooftown, the climb takes in everything the rock has to offer, notably featuring a hideous undercut rollover crux that Dave dispatches with ease on his send attempt.

The Big Bang: The Emma Twyford Story | Weekly Video

The Big Bang: The Emma Twyford Story | Weekly Video

This week’s video is special not only for its big grade and cutting edge climbing but for its sheer historical significance within the British climbing community. In September 2019, Emma Twyford became the first British woman to climb 9a with an epic tick of Big Bang, a Neil Carson route at Lower Pen Trywn. Having first been shown at the 2019 Kendal Film Festival where it won ‘Best Climbing Film’, this fantastic David Petts production is a diligent account of the years leading up to Emma’s ground-breaking ascent.

Giuliano Cameroni climbing "Off the Wagon" (8C+/V16) | Weekly Video

Giuliano Cameroni – Off the Wagon (8C+/V16) | Weekly Video

This week’s video hit comes straight from the beautiful Swiss valley of Val Bavona where we’re spoiled rotten with Swiss native, Giuliano Cameroni’s fourth ascent of Off the Wagon Low (8C+/V16). Off the Wagon’s original standing line is perhaps the most iconic boulder problem in the world, originally being discovered by Dave Graham with Nalle Hukkataival claiming the first ascent in 2012.

Offwidth Climbing Video With Sierra Blair-Coyle

Sierra Blair-Coyle Battles with Offwidth Climbing | Weekly Video

Typically, painful, grim and dirty, offwidthing is one of the darker arts of the climbing world, especially for us Brits with the fair isles of Britain yielding little in the way of any decent offwidth climbing. So, if you’re like me and haven’t got a clue about offwidths then this video is a nice introduction to the kit, the techniques and, most importantly, the taping.

EB Nebula | Climbing Shoe Review

Soft, sensitive and oh so French – the Nebula is the ultimate homage to EB’s climbing shoe heritage, nailing the same fundamentals that made their very first climbing shoe so successful whilst epitomising the modern climbing shoe’s evolution into an expertly engineered sending weapon.

FITZ ROY

Mountain of Storms | Weekly Video

In 1968, five friends set out on a 5,000-mile road trip in a white Ford van bound for South America. They packed surfboards, skis, and climbing gear and documented the whole trip on a 16mm Bolex camera. The film is, of course, Mountain of Storms, the legendary documentary of a life changing trip which ended with an awesome first ascent on Cerro Fitz Roy – there’s nothing like a bit of Patagonian alpine action to whet our winter appetites.

Forging Ahead | DMM | Weekly Video

The second of our weekly videos comes from the heart of Llanberis where renowned climbing hardware company, DMM, are celebrating a spectacular 40th year in business. This enchanting video recounts the company’s humble beginnings with its 3 cofounders forming the business in 1981. Having first met whilst working for Clog Climbing, Fred Hall, Richard Cuthbertson and Paul Simkiss recall tales of working for Heinz beans, debt collection and the interview rejections that brought them together in the 70’s. From here, the rest was history, going on to shape a company that has become a cornerstone of both the Llanberis and the worldwide climbing communities.
