In the same vein as the lengthy online Bishop bouldering video Mirando comes another longer online bouldering video called Blockwork Orange. The video features “casual crushing” from Nalle Hukkataival as well as sends from other Finnish climbers Ville Kurru, Toni Rantanen and Tommy Vänskä in the Rocklands of South Africa last Summer. There are sends of well known problems Black Velvet (V11), Pinotage (V10) and Oral Office (V12/13) as well as several first ascents.

As a secondary post, I have a climbing mix that I made to go along with certain climbs that I’ve done, that go with the movement and if I can’t actually listen to my iPod, I hear that in my head, and “Like Eating Glass” by Bloc Party was one that was on that mix that, as much as it fit, I didn’t think it was a good climbing song, but I guess other people think it works.
