Post Awesome Trad Movies Here

ok that last one was a little weird.

although one sympathizes with the sharing a flask in a cave during a thunderstorm thing.

Aretes have always been my fave feature, and this is on my list for sure.

This reminded me of the video of Michele Caminati flashing Master's Edge a couple months ago.

Someone else created a new thread about this movie, but it seemed so appropriate to repost this here as well. The movie is available to stream until 11/20 but it is definitely worth the time.

I have a major crush on Hazel Findlay - she is so RAD!

Not exactly Trad, but involves a lot of stemming and chimney

love the move at 5:55-6:01 on the Quarryman vid.

The Quarryman vid seems more like a video resume for a stunt man, rather than an actual climb. "Here's a few examples of the different stunts I can do."

He pulled all sorts of weird shenanigans to send that thing.

why on earth did someone retrosoundtrack that movie with creed? it is almost unwatchable without the sound off...

Fun stuff... Now I really wish the rain would stop...

Yeah, the movement alone makes that Quarryman video trad-worthy! One thing, I remember that the route recently saw a rare repeat (can't remember by whom), and it is supposedly a very solid 8a/5.13b, so, the youtube description of it as 11d is just wrong (as well as the fact that it gets an E-grade; how does a sport line get an E-rating?).

In the movie there's a little line saying "E8 7a" as he starts off. The 11d rating is probably a mistranslation -- French sport 7a is about Yosemite 11d. This climb is apparently British 7a, which is about French 8a.

One thing about the Quarryman video. Creed? Really? Keep the sound off.
