After watching him float up a bunch of these, I was pleased to see a bit of grunt and grovel on Fistful of Walnuts. Best one of the bunch.

Fist full of walnuts is my favorite too. Something tells me he makes it look about as easy as anyone would.
Inspirational as always "friend". Keep up the good work. I'm wondering if shaving my head will help ;)

If he had hair he wouldn't do it?

That's a nice collection of Woodson and other Socal classics. The OP is worded strangely. Most of those climbs he does are relatively moderate, I hope nobody "projects" those climbs. I mean who makes 5.10 & 5.11 short routes a project? With just a couple of exceptions, I have only seen people sending those same climbs, albeit with a rope.

Hey there's that super strong bald guy who solos all my projects...
Not joking I really like these vids, some of them you even hear the birds chirping in the trees while he climbs. Cool editing

Strong dude, but a little footwork and some chimney technique would have served him well on Fist Full of Walnuts.
Never heard of the Yaov Crack 1. Is that at, or near Woodson?

I know this fellow intimately.
He posts here as "friend."
No comments on his footwork, his boldness makes up for it.

Strong bald guy is a dear "friend" of mine and my main climbing partner. I savor the good old days when I was a better climber than him...
These days, he shreds shirtless with no pad. Against "The Mighty Thor", I have been reduced to pretty much HAVING to keep MY shirt on. At least I have hair...
Oh, and I use a toprope. We are quite the unusual pair out their bouldering.
I keep telling him to start a website to showcase all his awesome videos...perhaps you could all encourage him?

I remember him from an old bouldering vid(?) -
cue-ball glistening in the sun.
He gobbles up everything put in front of him.
That ascent of Sketchpad for example.

Lots of good stuff on that feed.
+1 on the sketchpad, never even seen a pic of that one before but always wondered.
A Vermin classic for sure!
Keep em' coming friend!

Yup, that's him. Strong bald guy who solo's all my projects. Really nice guy, too. Forgot his name... In a world where 99% of bouldering media is heavy dubstep over V-rad buttdrags it's refreshing to see an older style of problem done in an older style of ascent.
Alexandria, Visor center, I Hear My Train, S. Ridge Arete... that shits hard yo. Not moderates. You get to the top of those sans pads, you're pretty rad.
Strong Bald Dude. SBD.

Thank you all, for the super flattering comments. If you see me at the crags please come say hi!

+1 for the Sketchpad, Fistful of Walnuts and all the climbs mentioned. So many classics, so little time. Fat Dad, yes, the Yoav crack is at Woodson, up near the Ogre. I've been meaning to post some beta on mtnproj.

Excellent videos of some classic probs!
…noticed, though, that there's nothing from Rubidoux. What's up with that? (Omitting Stoney, I can understand… <g>)

Killer. That Marshmallow line looks cool - how's the landing? Only vid where I thought your body language might have been saying "I really don't want to blow this!"
Cheers for climbing content!

Th landing for the marshmallow is way down there in the bushes, block from view but further down than you might think. When's the video of the left side coming? J/K ;)

Ah, but there IS a Rubidoux problem AT Woodson...
