Any of you amigos seen this movie? The whip the guy takes at the beginning is pretty bad. Pretty sick movie. Shows guys taking whips on 12 rp's behind a loose flake and sh*t like that. What is your favorite trad movie?

Great movie. Yeah, that fall at the start is ROUGH. How about that climb at the end by Seb Grieve? "I know what you're up to! You tricky little devil! In the hole you f___n' tosser!" Gotta love that.

yes, it is a most excellent film, I'm so lucky to live in gritstone country( but only when the weather is good) I lead E3 5c onsite, its amazing to see these guys leading really hard grit climbs. Kevin Thaw has recently done a new hard grit line at wimberry called Order of the phoenix and given it a grade of E8/9 6c, it looks like you could fall and die from just about every move!!

beautiful movie, my all-time favorite....
btw, everytime I watch it, I wonder what the hell dave jones is putting in that small hole (hmmm, it doesnt sound right I guess, huh), which didnt hold as expected when he did fall. Anybody remember that scene, what is that?

I think he calls it a nail. A "something" penny nail, wrapped in tape to make it stick in the hole better. Crazy.
