I upload all my stuff to Vimeo, much better in my opinion, the upload wait is a bit annoying and there's a limit for how much you upload per week which is smaller than Youtube I think. The only other thing that is better is the fact it links you to similar videos from other users on videos. Other than those things I much prefer Vimeo, old layout was better but what can you do. Vimeo generally seems to have a higher quality of videos on there... x

Not wanting the same shoes is fair enough but If you can't find anything that fits as well I'd get them anyway. I've got some scarpa velcro's which I've had for a while and got some 5.10 arrowheads the other day, don't fit my feet as well and it makes a world of difference both in comfort and how well I can use them, using them to warm up now so I can save as much of my scarpa's rubber for hard attempts as possible But yea make sure you try your shoes on before you buy if your spending any amount of money, if you really can't bananafingers have a size caculater for a few models which should tell you how they will fit reasonably well Alpkit are good for cheap matts, or you could go second hand, moon and black diamond are both good matts I've used Looks like nasty landing for only one pad Glad he's ok, its exactly why I like low ball boulder problems above a LOT of matts Roaches is my local atm, been there a few times now, here's a lil vid of my mate on two problems there x

From a couple of weekends ago http://vimeo.com/38799070 Really seriously need to work on my topouts, defiantly the thing holding me back most on problems which top out... x

Lol I've never got roped stuff, seems like somthing I'l move to once I can't climb hard anymore... Yea that is the confusing thing, outside more and more places and guides are going font but indoors use V. The wall I'm buildin is going to use V simply because its easier for non-climbers to understand, starts at v0 and goes up whereas font starts at 6 has letters and numbers just not that an easy thing to explain.... Properly psyched because I'm hitting raven tor tomorrow :D x

Yea top ropes are in the way and always annoying, I find whenever I go to move my hand the ropes in the way lol, Yea, always talking boulder problems Only gone outside to rope twice and not that many more times indoors, boulderings defo the way foward. Yea there font grades, things are going more and more towards Font grades now, only place V grades are really used anymore I think is in America so yea I'd only bother with getting used to the font grading system. x

Gd job man, I lead sport once indoors, was effort enough hanging around to do that on a 4 or 5 or somthing don't get how people hang on to routes for that long Been getting outside a bunch myself recently which is sweet, flashed two 6a+'s and sent a 6b yesterday Also if any man's live in Birmingham/Wolverhampton area I'm helping some people build a new climbing wall in West Bromwich atm, should be opening may time? People should like the fb page http://www.facebook.com/BoulderCentral Wall's gonna be beast x

The holds weren't really very small + on vertical and slabby problems which makes them all the nicer :)Really wanted to send another problem there called the railings and think I quite possibly would of got it on the last day I went if it wasn't for wet holds after the crux Defo on the ticklist for next time I go up... That sounds pretty kl, you seen this vid of johnny? Pretty silly moves from 4 mins onwards, I defo couldn't climb that lol x

A lil vid of some of the things I sent in Dumbarton, would defo recommend climbing there, prime stuff x

Well I just think that even though it may be easy downloading somthing that the person that created it is selling be that music or film its still wrong and it being easy to do/hard to stop isn't really an excuse to do it. x

If somone wants to give somthing away to spread there product and get themselves recognised then thats fine, thats just the same as people giving out free tasters or somthing in the supermarket, as a band that would seem like a reasnoably sensible thing to do... Just because nobody really cares about the fact that downloading a song/album/film is wrong dosen't stop it being so. If you leave your trials bike out in your garden and somone steals it it may of been easy for them to do but it dosen't stop it being wrong. Films cost an awfull lot of money to make and is harder for them than music I would of thought as going to the cinema is just the film on a bigger screen whereas going to a gig is a lot different/better than just listening to an album plus cinema's are a rip off so they probably don't make as much money as they could. Obviously it isn't the same as stealing a mass produced product because they put money into making each individual product whereas a film/album is made once and then sold many times but your still taking a sale. Even if you weren't going to buy the film/album your still taking somthing which should of been payed for. Not sure if that makes sense or is a good point I just don't really think it should be done just because its easy. Its can be very easy to kill somone dosen't mean you should do it... (I know that not a relevent example but its on the same principle just taken to the extreme) x

Don't have a car and wouldn't be allowed to drive one if I did because I don't have a license Should be working on that when I move up to bham plus am living with climbers who do drive so tis all gravey Hopefully should make my grit(+general outside) climbing grade jump up a bunch which'l be sweet, proper psyched to get stronger and improve my technuiqe a lot this year and hopefully avoid screwing my finger up again as well. x

Bouldering is the one! I'l get a pic of the problem when I'm up trying it and hopefully a vid of me sending it just need some dryer weather now... Moving near birmingham soon so should be climbing in the peaks a load more being 2 and a quarter hours minimum away from any rock is looooooooooooooong x

Didn't take a pic because it was raining whilst I was there, only like a 2 move problem on it, sit start on a slopey edge into a small undercut then slap up for the top, v2/v3 possibly some other stuff around there but everythings soaked and covered in rubbish but this wall was overhanging and bone dry. Top out was soaking and covered in tonnes of moss, but reckon can clear enough of it to top out, had a jug and the rest was flat so should be alrighty Did find another boulder which I didn't think had been climbed on (nothing online and loads of moss on un that) but was also really obvious and on the way to another boulder so Im unsure, would need to wait for summer for that one to be able to be dry enough really. Defo need to have a trip up here again in the summer time. x Edit - also not 100% on access for people, its on MOD land and although locals are allowed to go on it not sure if other people are really, they might not be all to amused with tonnes of people climbing on it and people with guns are people to keep in a good mood

Just out for a walk and found a boulder that Im pretty sure hasn't been climbed on before! So psyched, hopefully gonna get my first first ascent next week :D x

Anyone here climb dumbarton at all? Up in Scotland atm, been a couple of times, some pretty beast climbing there. If anyone does climb there I'm gonna be going a few more times before I head back to england if anyone fancies a wee* boulder? X *Look at me being all scottish un that

http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/board,28.0.html and http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/board,41.0.html x

Take it you've tried UKB? x

Could see how it could get busy but the one time I went there with my mate there was possibly 4 other people there so pretty empty Think its hard to get a good quality wall which isn't crowded, I climb at big rock in Milton Keynes and that gets quite busy in the evenings... x

Yea the other two guys are pretty strong, been there a bunch of times since and they've been crushing a load of the problems there (up to v12) and I haven't sent anything since that trip defo a place for stronger climbers. Definitely get out to Stanage man! That place is sik, steep traverse there is on my tick list to do by the end of the year not to be taken away was until I got there a couple of weeks ago and saw the height of the top out, thing looks a lot lower in videos lol if your in Sheffield I'd recommend the works, place is huge filled with sweet routes Happy crushing x

Just campus everything

Was in Wales Monday, Tuesday this week bouldering, Parisella's cave is SIK! lil vid of some problems... x
