Post Awesome Trad Movies Here #2

Finally found this video again—badass South African roof sport climb done on gear. I thought I originally saw it on this thread, but couldn't seem to find it today. 

The climbing (particularly the roof!) looks super cool and it's pretty freaking awesome that he led it on gear. Oh, and the bat hang cam placement is pretty cool too.

Not sure if its been posted

Dude... a fire?!?!?! That's a real douchebag move if that area is even remotely popular

This is literally ten miles into the middle of nowhere. We cleaned and established this line after we took shelter from a storm. #mountainthings.

Ah, fair enough then! I'veseen this at the base of my local crag on more than one occasion so it hits a nerve. Glad to see that wasn't the case.

Cool looking Boulder problem by the way!

Might have already been posted, but 14.a on all passive gear.

That Vertigo film is awesome! Love how it's all nuts. Great climb and great filming, showing the placing of the gear and everything. 

Agreed!  ^^^  
But what was with the piece of tape just laying on the back of his left hand?  And why did it suddenly disappear at 6:15?

Haha there is clearly an edit cut there as the camera position itself also realign in an instant. Cut! Probably the part where he fell off and hung, and then noticed the tape on his hand and removed it.

Namadgi National Park is a very strange and wonderful place. Lot's of old granite sprinkled around, west of where I worked for the NASA Deep Space Network.

That's got to be a hell of a job. I think I'd be down to be a janitor, if it was for something like the dsn...

Hey man, being a Deep Space Janitor is a tough job, the reminders you have to do are never ending...

And to stay IN SPACE but get us back on track for this thread... Brad on Asteroid Crack.

PS: That's the face I make when leading 5th class. : - ) 

Cool videos of some cracks in the red. Has Welcome to ol’ Kentucky always been sent by jumping into Brontosaurus as quickly as possible?

Enjoyed this one. I liked the old dirty gear, haggard rope and stupid mullet. A welcome change from the bright pants.

No dice.  Pre-placed everything = spurt climb.

Rad but not Trad... That barely even qualifies as a mixed route.

Unlike almost every other climbing video, I really liked the non-climbing intro
