Video Friday – 3/9/2012

Narc — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:20:46 +0000

Well, it was a bit of an uneven week in the videos area this week. I’d have to check the database to be certain, but the video of Daniel Woods on Paint It Black likely got the most votes any video has ever gotten on this site. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the votes were of the 1 or 2 star variety[1 Just because this is the internet doesn't mean you can't vote for the videos you actually like with equal fervor]. Here are a few videos you seemed to like better:

A few weeks ago Tommy Caldwell and Hayden Kennedy were among a team of climbers featured on the TV show Flying Wild Alaska. In case you missed the show or you lost interest watching pilots fly freight around in the desolate Alaskan winter, here is a short video from Corey Rich and Dane Henry documenting the pair’s efforts:

Just like that it’s Friday again. Where did the last week go? Somewhere in there I actually did some real climbing however the memory of good times spent moving over warm stone is already fading. Nothing to do but watch some videos and wait patiently for the temps outside to improve…

Spring is almost here…

Video Friday: A Rehab Story With Josh Wharton

A few months ago all-around climber Josh Wharton broke his back after he made a mistake while maintaining a route in Rifle, CO and fell 25 ft. to the ground. Check out this excellent video in which Wharton talks about the accident, his approach to recovery, and watch him as he climbs a few nice “rehab” boulders in RMNP just a few months post-injury:

Climbing Video: Daniel Woods Sending Hypnotized Minds (V15)

Narc — Mon, 06 Dec 2010 13:17:41 +0000

2010 has been a pretty good year for Daniel Woods out on the boulders, what with his string of hard first ascents of problems like Desperanza (V15) in Hueco Tanks, The Game (V16) in Boulder Canyon, Warrior Up (V15) at Lincoln Lake and Hyptnotized Minds (V15) in RMNP. And those are just the FAs of problems V15 or harder.

Woods’ latest FA, the aforementioned Hypnotized Minds, is the subject of the below video from Sanuk. Those that have seen the 2010 Reel Rock Film Tour may recognize the problem as Woods and Paul Robinson are shown working the line as part of that segment.

Update: In addition to all the bouldering I mentioned, Woods also managed to do the 2nd ascent of Jaws 2, a likely 5.15a in Rumney, NH, back in October. You can now watch video from that send over at DPM.

Video Friday: Lincoln Lake GIANTS!

Narc — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 11:48:20 +0000

Louder Than 11′s 4 part series called Lincoln Lake GIANTS! about the bouldering at Mt. Evan’s Lincoln Lake came to an end this week so now seems like a good time to revisit the entire series.

When I posted about part 1 of Lincoln Lake GIANTS! in conjunction with the release of the now infamous Enter The Wolvo there was a lot of discussion around both movies. One of the things many people questioned about the GIANTS series was that the acting was not what one would call great, and it was hard to tell where the storyline, not something one sees in climbing movies usually, was going. I myself wondered these same things, but after seeing the series to its conclusion I have to say I was pretty entertained by the whole thing. The storyline they constructed actually brought a little bit of a smile to my face when I saw how it ended. Plus, even if you hate the story and the acting there are plenty of FUN looking boulders getting climbed so there is always that to fall back on.

Here’s all 4 parts of the series in case you haven’t seen them all:
