marc_leclerc Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Since I stopped climbing competitively and just did trad and alpine mainly for the last 3 or 4 years I assumed I would have 'forgotten' how to do the bouldering and sport climbing 'harder' moves I used to do. But I decided to go and try outdoor bouldering for the first time on tuesday and went back on thursday. On thursday I managed to get this sweet problem sent and made a little vid. I just think its cool after not climbing at my limits for a long time I can still 'remember' how to climb this stuff. Maybe I will keep with it now, it will probably help my climbing overall. Here's my vid, enjoy: [video:youtube]v=v0Kz6uKws1I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimmo Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Nice if you like contrived climbing. is there any chance that this person could be stopped from posting in non-spray columns? this kind of crap has no place in forums where people want to share their passions about what they do, free from cynical asides. removing these kinds of posts from non-spray columns would probably help in having actual psyched climbers who are pretty good at what they do post more.

Rad Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Fun video. Thanks for sharing Marc. Just ignore the jealous zealots. btw, is that Journey in the soundtrack? Sounds like Perry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 I thought it was Steve Perry/Journey, too. Nice vid, Marc. Keep wrestling it. My thoughts exactly, Kimmo. 'boner, you're an ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibby Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Cool vid. Nice to see some more (older)people bouldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Uhhhhhhh, Marc's not even old enough to buy beer yet... How old would that make you if you consider him "older"? I guess by your yardstick, I'm a fossil, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyHarry Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Nice if you like contrived climbing. Kevbone - you can pretend to be serious; you can't pretend to be witty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jibby Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 oops, on second look he isn't that old. but still it would be cool to see some older climbers try bouldering/traverses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_leclerc Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 is that Journey in the soundtrack? Sounds like Perry. Yes, the song is 'Ask the Lonely' by Journey.. one of my faves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 but still it would be cool to see some older climbers try bouldering/traverses. I gave up on that shite when my Alzheimer's set in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
