One day at Dover video (2003)

This video shot by Brian Garrison in 2003 during one day at Dover features FAs and repeats of classics.
Climbers: Ben Blakney (beige pants), Ghislain Losier (brown pants), Rich LaPaix (jeans).
FAs: Une Grippe d'Homme v7, Fear Factor v2
Repeats: One Scoop v8, Exciter v7

I like the video sequence of figuring the beta on the FA of "Une grippe d'homme". That process of unlocking the beta with friends has always been one of my favorite things in climbing.

NSBOULDERING going offline after 15 years...

It's been a while since my last post! Anyways, I started this website Nsbouldering.com back in 1998 to document the bouldering scene around Halifax. I'm no longer in Halifax and not in touch with the current scene therefor that website will go offline in the next month or so. I'm posting below the ticklist that was on the website. G
