dalai 29-Aug-2006 3:04:59 PM	Came across Fred Roulings site the other day. Know probably best for his route Akira and the controversy it created by its big grade 9b when even the grade of 9a was still being argued. First half of the route being bouldered out by Fred http://www.moctarwalid.org/akrp.wmv ~4.5MB His site and other videos http://www.fredrouhling.com/home.htm Interesting interview posted about Fred http://www.climbing.com/current/fredrouhling/#loop
Nottobetaken 29-Aug-2006 3:15:18 PM	Thanks dalai - should be worth it just to see the footage of Hugh - a climb with 14 moves in 25m and a crux dyno of reportedly 2.4m. Why he gave Akira a route grade though is anyone's guess...

In the climbing interview, he does say that he would now have just done the main bottom section as a boulder problem and left it at that. Remember the fuss it made at the time! Then there was the American controvery with Louie Anderson and Refiners Fire also in 1995...
dalai 29-Aug-2006 10:39:36 PM	For those trad climbers feeling left out with all the bouldering footage, check out a 5 minute excerpt on www.bigupproductions.com (small 9MB or big 51MB) of Tommy Caldwell leading the Great Roof pitch 5.13c. The footage is part of the amazing "Two in a day" undertaken by Caldwell in Yosemite to be included in the upcoming Dosage IV, where he free climbed the Nose (5.14a 30 pitches) and then Freerider (5.12d 37 pitches) on the same day!

The route (if it was one) got erased didn't it? Randy Leavitt betting $1000 that Louie couldn't go back and repeat it...

Dave C 19-Sep-2006 9:14:40 AM	Planet Fear have a preview clip of a new DVD on Dave McLeod's new E11 in Scotland (grade 33/4 with 10 metre run-outs above poor RPs - nice!) http://www.planetfear.com/film_detail.asp?f_id=53 I reckon the finished product will be worth a look.
adski 20-Sep-2006 4:32:29 PM	can't wait for the english language translation to come out. The falls make the a whipper off the top of Wipeout seem relatively mild.

Breezy 26-Sep-2006 1:47:59 PM	new Big Up video, showing Sharma on a DWS supposed to be as hard as Realization, looks pretty cool http://www.bigupproductions.com/bigUpSite2/movies.html?14&ArchTeaserLarge.mov&282&480 32mb
Breezy 27-Sep-2006 10:31:27 AM	Regarding the above video -- taken from Rock and Ice website Chris Sharma sends his deep-water soloing project on Es Pontas, Mallorca, Spain. Chris Sharma completed his most difficult climb to date this morning, September 26, by soloing a project on the natural bridge, Es Pontas in Mallorca, Spain. The route, which tackles the underbelly of the arch, contains two V double-digit cruxes separated by a seven-foot dyno that took Sharma 50 tries to stick. Sharma, known for his understatement and modesty in regards to grades, says the route is “comparable to Realization” the 5.15a he sent in 2001. Given the difficulty of the moves and the added element of soloing the 60-foot line and risking back-breaking falls, this is likely the hardest rock climb in the world. See Rock and Ice #155 for the full story and photo essay by Corey Rich. Jeff Jackson
