Thanks Mouse,
Most of the action is on Tryfan, with a variety of old routes used (not sure which) Some interesting very old school equipment and belays in use!
The falling sequence is somewhat lacking compared to modern CGI techniques.

This film is completely awesome. I learned a lot.
Most of the action is on Tryfan...
Are you sure it wasn't a reverse angle shot of that Whitney tumble posted from a few days ago?

I was mainlining Tryptophan when I was there in a fruitless attempt to keep
my knees from knocking together. That coulda been me! I coulda been a pretender!

Mouse, that was simply superb!
Been a long time since I saw someone use a shoulder belay.
I have one buddy who started climbing in England in 1947. The only friend who climbed with hob nailed boots and a hemp rope. Can't wait to show him this video.
Remember; "only climbers can help other climbers."
Thanks, man!

I saw hobnailed boots still in use in the Soviet Union in '77.
They worked good on soft choss.

Patrick Oliver would have fired that mantel off with one arm, nails or no.
Very gratified, mates.
Cheers!

All that guy needed was for someone to boot his ass off the stump.

Great find. Good job he landed on a ledge that had a spare jacket on it to keep him warm and did anyone notice the mysterious woman at 10:29 as the new reel started?

Probably a clip from a trashed film recycled and spliced in as a leader.

That's the projector technician changing reel 1 to reel 2. Really!

Rescue near El Portal. That rapid is named "the rush" (according to a lifetime resident of E.P.). It's just upstream from the sand pit.
We put in below the initial drop on inner-tubes one time.
