The end of 2011 is rapidly approaching, so what better way to waste spend this last Friday of the year than by reviewing some of the top free online climbing videos of 2011.
I broke this out into two lists: the first is based on those videos which received the highest average vote total while the second is based on which videos received the highest number of views on this site. There is some crossover, but there was enough difference to warrant the inclusion of both lists1.
Let me know in the comments which video on these lists was your favorite, or if there was one that didn’t make it feel free to share that as well.

Ahh very good. Thanks for the heads up.

I think one of the nicest vids I saw this year had to be… “Tick Marks and Picnics”. A great look into the world of bouldering and Fontainebleau (great shots, nice tunes, Font!): http://vimeo.com/18787864

Interesting patterns to be gleaned such as Black Diamond makes/sponsors some kick ass vids and some kick ass climbers. I might have to buy some more BD products.
