One of my favorite channels for sure, I’m constantly surprised by your tactics. In 13 years of bouldering all over the world I’ve never seen sun shades, heat guns, or this level of dedication. Psyched for more of this. I’m actually making a trip to Nova Scotia in September and your content has me stoked to check it out. Thanks for your hard work!
This comment made my day! This is exactly my motivation behind the VLOG project - share the unique bouldering culture that evolved in our tiny corner of the world. If you have any questions I can help with for September, get at me via email.
Really enjoy the style of your session videos. Unique, and much more in line with how I feel and think when I'm out there throwing myself at a rock. You capture the beauty of the process, the hyper-focus to detail on the abstract granite holds, and I'm honestly soaking in a lot of what you have to say as I consider my own process. Cool stylistic touches on the text animations, and made me chuckle on the knee-bar montage. Keep it up. Have fun out there. Enjoy the inevitable send.
Thanks so much, I appreciate the comment! My goal with the VLOG project is to try and capture what I love about bouldering and I'm glad that came through. Also, I said to my wife last evening that I didn't expect broad appeal for the kneebar meme from a 1995 James Bond film, but someone would get it - I love you appreciated it!
Glad to hear it! My goal with VLOGS is to make bouldering more accessible in a different way besides the usual topos and beta vids on I put out. I love to see you guys out there getting after it on RU-vid! Nice work on Jabberwocky! Thumbnail is hilarious, and that approach is at least V5.
Thanks! The best is Flextape. It's really expensive, but you can cut it into small pieces - only takes a small square. Duct tape is a cheaper alternative - T-Rex brand is the stickiest according to Project Farm.
No problem! Flex tape is aggressively sticky. I've been able to reuse if rock's not too dirty. Use scissors you don't care about, and clean them with acetone or goo gone. They gum up fast.
I discussed with with first ascentionist. We will be interested to see a short climber try it. The opening is probably easier as you say, but the top crux might be an issue
