RASPERS ONLY: A New Zealand Bouldering Film
NOTE ON BOULDERING IN THE CASTLE HILL BASIN:
The rock in these areas is very prone to becoming polished. The locals go to great efforts to prevent this from happening. If you choose to climb in these areas, come prepared with a spray bottle and soft bristle brush to clean each boulder after you climb on it. Also, for certain boulders that already have become polished, it is recommended to not climb on this rock to give it time to return to its natural state. Check out the castle hill basin website (castlehillbasin.co.nz/polished) for an up to date list of which climbs should be avoided and more information.

I've been wanting to climb in the ice caves ever since I saw LT11s video of Chris S when I started climbing. It did not disappoint. The ice caves just might be my favorite bouldering zone ever. Every climb would be right at home in a world cup round. Some of the most unique features and movement I've ever seen made for incredibly fun climbing in a surreal setting.

Rhythm of the Saints (v12) Post Break FA
Переглядів 4222 роки тому
A nice line in Redcliff CO on the aircraft carrier boulder. Came to check it out only to find the starting jug had come off. The space left where the hold used to be ended up allowing for a pretty good toe cam that completely changed the sequence. Great movement and nice grips, can't ask for much more. Pretty sure this was the FA post break (did it about a week or two after the hold broke from ...

Arkansas Bouldering Part 2: Chasing Grades
This is such a great bouldering film man, the way it gives you the feeling of having such a great time with nature and your friends, is just priceless. Keep it up!!
🔥
Epic climbing but the steeeeeez on that ball and cup at 1:51
Sensational
hell yeah
Wicked 👌🏽
Some fine grunting.
Couple months out from moving to NZ on a working holiday visa. Very excited!
this is soo good
Nice one! I guess I don’t know what Raspers mean cuz most of those looked like typical badass classic probs. Super psyched to try Raw Horse!!
the disclaimer XD
Bangers left right and centre. Super solid edit. Double like!!!
Brilliant! The Basin is soooooo good
Amazing video and even more amazing sends!
Genuinely one of the best bouldering films I've watched - the light and the lines and the colours, what a perfect backdrop to some incredible climbing. Strong effort guys
this is big dude, nice edit. keep it coming! stay healthy my dude.
rad
This was pure awesomeness! Kura Tawhiti is soooo unique!
Dude! Amazing video, very raspy vibes. Im so curious what the fixed ropes you guys set up are anchored to??
Bangers only from Mr De Santis
Wicked film! First banger from the area in ages. Thank you for keeping our rocks clean as well!
Hey man just out of curiosity I was wondering why the grading on many of these is so vast? Like V11-13 grade. Is that because of the official grade and then also how your guys felt doing it? And which grade is which ahahah
First guy who did Psychosis thought it was V10, most people since then have thought it’s V13 It’s because the style of Kura Tawhiti is so weird, it’s sooooo hard to grade
@@hugorichards5764 oh that’s interesting, thanks for the context. Gotta love when something is so stylised for you it feels 3 grades easier hahah
In general the style of climbing there is so weird it can be very difficult to give something a grade that feels right for everyone. They're mostly just a vague guide to give you some idea of what to expect. I didn't include a grade range on every climb, but almost all of them could easily be given a wide range (in most cases the "given" grade would be the low end of that range IMO). The climbs I did include a range for are cases where the climber took a personal grade that differed from the consensus grade, or where there isn't a clear consensus among the ascensionists so far.
Wow this looks awesome!
big show in the Larry 🤯wow, nuts
really had to see it to believe it
The Raw Horse footage was everything. Good to know I wasn't going crazy and there was a foot missing.
The cow at 20:48 😄
Was a pleasure climbing with you guys! Looking forward to next time 💪 Raw Horse!
Love that TOAD TIME gets its own time stamp in the description. This video is dope. Y'all are animals.
We could not find best of friends. Do you remember where this is at? Thanks!
Cottonwood is misspelled in the opening graphics.
good ole' Brian Nugent. He prob flashed most of these before this guy got his send footy ;)
WOW that starting feature at 7:41 is absolutely sick!
baaaaaaaa moooooooo
Really enjoyed the psyche. Please post more.
Absolutely bonkers, fire sends
Looking forward to a return trip
Anybody know what the horrible sounding creature is at 15:24?
This guy eats V10 for breakfast
Oh man I miss the New so bad
Megamite has awesome movement. I sessioned with a friend while he worked on it. Sick climb
did anyone hassle you about being there at night?? I thought parks were closed
If there are rules about not being there at night we were unaware- didn't see any signs or hear from anyone (though most of the boulders we climbed at night were outside the actual park boundaries). Next trip I would read into it more and respect any rules the park has in place
wonderful edit Matt, my only qualm is that you ended toad time. Should've continued for the rest of the video in a little corner of the screen
so sick dude, thanks for sharing.
Yum
Damn, that place is sketch
This video is rad, nice work.
What time of year was this?
Sick video! Would you be willing to send me more info on some of these problems? Timeout corner looks so cool but I can’t find any info online
If you can find your way to the caves, all the problems are within 100 yards of eachother within the cave system. Timeout corner is all the way at the end of the cave
rad
Damn how long were you there for? You absolutely cleaned house
Sick video man well done!
