Vid - Thoughtful Video of 2 German Ladies Climbing

With subtitles! I first saw this several months ago, but saw it posted on video climb recently and thought you might enjoy it if you haven't already. It's about the fear of falling and focuses on climbing movement only to the extent that it provides a nice backdrop to the narrative. I hope you like it.

Vid - Demencia Senil 9a+ - Iker Pou

Hello again! I haven't been climbing much recently. Just started back up at the gym, hence the relative dearth in posting. I figure all the other sites do a much better job than I do.

Anyways, lots of news floating around the interwebs and you've probably already heard of the 2nd ascent of Sharma's Demencia Senil, 9a+ or .15a. Wunderkind Adam Ondra hurt a tendon working on this route.

This video shows you why. I think it does a better job of showing the entirety of the route than the Big UP production video (e.g. there's a nice footcam no-hands rest right before the crux), even if the production quality was a little lower. Enjoy if you haven't already!
