A short video from our climbing trip to Hueco Tanks state park in Texas, November 2010. During the short, one week trip we spent in Hueco, we did our best to get round as many classic problems as possible across a variety of grades. This film documents a few of our favourites which we managed to tick while there such as the amazing ‘Moonshine Roof’ (V4), ‘T-Bone Shuffle’ (V4), ‘Girls of Juarez’ (v4), ‘The Melon Patch’ (V0) and Snoo tackling her uber-project ‘Nobody Here Gets Out Alive’ (V2). More details about our trip including photos and ticklists can be found here: http://www.bengrubb.co.uk/?p=332

Fun problems, but I do feel that I have to quote the legendary Ricky-O when he says…”Whenever I see someone use that faggy sidepull on T-bone shuffle, I slap their hand away and call DAB!” Nonetheless, I can’t wait to get back there.

RICKY!!!!!!!

Its refreshing to see the number of recently well made videos showcasing the more moderate side of popular bouldering areas. Not often it seems do you see high def footage of V2s =)
Great video!!!

Pat C: I’d love to do the T-Bone without the side pull – it’s just “that landing”, always in the back of my mind that I’d wreck my ankle on that one. Maybe next time.
BA: Thanks for the nice comment.

Hey Ben,
I don’t blame you, I’ve done it with the sidepull as well. I still found the throw without it more exciting and not as hard or scary as you think! Either way you’re having fun!

Since the sidepull was “on” the day I did that problem I, as a person of some height, ask the question: “What throw???” 🙂

I agree with Narc! Considering I’m 6’5″, I tried the throw/dyno without the sidepull and it felt huge! Maybe I had wrong foot beta or something, but the move with the sidepull felt a lot nicer and less scary.

Hmmm, I’m 5’10”, and pretty much did the “throw” without cutting my left foot. I was matched in the hueco btw!

I’m 5’11”ish, and the throw felt pretty natural when I committed fully and figured out the feet–helps to have two spotters as well. The sidepull beta felt super wierd.
Nice vid.
