Here's a short video of Ryan Pasquill onsighting James Pearson's route 'Power of the Darkside' at Matlock Quarries. You'll see more from these chaps at Matlock in the film, when they tackle 'Return of the Jedi' which looks bold - it's not often you see Ryan scared!

Hectic


The past couple of weeks filming have been very hectic. It’s hard to imagine the sacrifices you have to make before committing to a project such as making a bouldering film. You need to be willing to drop whatever you’re doing at the time to go and film an ascent (which may not even happen!) The past couple of weeks we’ve been hard at work filming for a CWIF short (and the rest). We’re aiming to show a bit of the run up to the competition, looking at how some of the climbers and the guys at the wall prepare and then throughout the competition check up on them – hopefully it’ll be an interesting insight into the world of competition climbing. Over the weekend we were at the Works from about 9am – 8pm, filming solidly. I had no idea how tiring that would be!

Once the competition was over I thought normality would quickly return, but there were still a few foreigners around that needed filming. For three days we hustled Klemen Becan, Jernej Kruder and Nalle Hukkataival around gritstone’s finest. Classics were ticked and footage was attained.

Now it looks as if grit weather is coming to an end.... Bring on the limestone!

PS - Michele Caminati did the Ace today! A thoroughly deserved tick after weeks of crap weather and bad skin!
