The name "udini" is a pun of his name and Harry Houdini, the American magician and escapologist, stunt performer, actor and film producer noted for his sensational escape acts. Udo started to photograph professionally already in the early eighties and experimented with Super 8mm film around the same time. It has been a wild ride since then during which Udo travelled to many far away places, creating countless still and moving pictures for udini mediaworks and others, winning many awards for his work.

Lizenz zum Bouldern Diaschau

Bouldern macht so viel Spaß, dass man eigentlich immer nur Bouldern möchte!

Bouldern leitet sich vom englischen Wort für einen Felsblock ab und bezeichnet das Klettern ohne Seil und Klettergurt in Absprunghöhe.

Sowohl an Felsblöcken als auch an künstlichen Strukturen erlebt Bouldern weltweit seit Jahren eine rasante Entwicklung,

Dabei ist Bouldern kein modischer Trendsport, sondern pures, ursprüngliches Klettern für das man wenig mehr als Schuhe, eine Matte und etwas Magnesia braucht.

Die Seilfreiheit macht wesentlich akrobatischere Bewegungen als beim Sportklettern möglich, deshalb wird Bouldern auch als das “Labor der Klettertechnik” bezeichnet.

Zur Lösung moderner Boulderprobleme braucht man ein gutes Auge, intuitives biomechanisches Verständnis und die Körperbeherrschung eines Zirkusartisten.

Um den Blick des Lesers zu entwickeln, zeigt Lizenz zum Bouldern auf hunderten Photos die besten Boulderer unserer Zeit in konkreten Situationen.

Hier kannst Du Dir einige Beispiele anschauen. 

Dabei werden Details sichtbar, die bis dahin selbst den Akteuren verborgen waren. 

Lizenz zum Bouldern ist wie ein Blick über die Schulter des modernen Boulderns!

Bouldern wird als besonders soziale Aktivität geschätzt. Die räumliche Nähe erlaubt unmittelbare Kommunikation, wie sie beim Routenklettern nicht gegeben ist. Nur wenige Aktivitäten ermöglichen eine solch gemeinschaftliche Erfahrung. Ob Weltklasse oder Anfänger - vom gemeinsamen Bouldern profitieren alle!

Der XI. Grad - das Kultbuch wird 10!

 

“Wenn sich ein leicht abgedrehter Spitzenkletterer und ein sympathisch kreativer Wirrkopf zusammentun, um ein Buch über das Klettern am Rande der Leistungsgrenze zu erschaffen, dann muß wohl so etwas wie DER XI. GRAD herauskommen. Klem Loskots und Udo Neumanns schräger Einblick in den Mikrokosmos der Minigriffe und -tritte kommt frisch und frech daher, dass es eine Freude ist.” Schrieb im Jahr 2000 die Zeitschrift Klettern. Anlässlich des zehnten Geburtstages verkaufen wir hier die letzten Exemplare des Kultbuchs für nur noch 29,95€!

Lizenz zum Klettern 2010


Als die erste Auflage von Lizenz zum Klettern 1995 erschien, war die Resonanz bei Kletterern und Fachpresse überwältigend. Undogmatisch und phantasievoll werden alle Kriterien behandelt, die bei der Steigerung der eigenen Leistungsfähigkeit an der Kunstwand und am Fels eine Rolle spielen. Nun ist die völlig überarbeitete und erweiterte "Lizenz zum Klettern" erschienen. Lizenz zum Klettern gibt es im guten Buchhandel und natürlich hier!

Hier eine Diashow einiger der vielen hundert Bilder aus LIZENZ ZUM KLETTERN

Der Herbst der Kletter-Abenteuer-DVDs


Dieses Jahr steht weniger das Abfeiern sportlicher Leistungen als vielmehr Abenteuergeschichten rund ums Klettern bei den Filmemachern in Vordergrund. Peter Mortimer mit seiner Produktionsfirma "Sender Films" ist schon lange einer unserer absoluten Favoriten was die Qualität seiner Filme anbelangt. Nun endlich sind die sechs, gemeinsam mit dem National Geographic Channel produzierten "First Ascent" Episoden auf DVD erhältlich. Der Bogen spannt sich von Chris Sharmas' Suche nach den härtest möglichen Felsrouten zum ersten Solo der Half Dome Nordwestwand im Yosemite. Wer alle Sharma Videos kennt, dem wird seine Episode nicht viel Neues zeigen, sie stellt seinen Werdegang aber schön dar. Alex Honnolds Soloeskapaden hingegen lassen einem das Blut in den Adern frieren. Jede Episode ist atemberaubend aufwändig produziert, ohne dabei das Storytelling aus den Augen zu verlieren.
Da kann in Europa nur der Brite Alastair Lee mithalten. Sein Film "the Asgard Project" ist ein ganz toller Abenteuer- Kletterfilm über den Versuch, dem Mt. Asgard auf Baffin Island über eine krasse Linie zu begehen. Vergleichsweise einfacher zu produzieren war bestimmt Alastairs "Grit Flic" über die "beste Grit-Saison aller Zeiten. "Grit Flic" spielt zwar "nur" im typisch Englischem Gritgestein ist aber nicht minder spannend wie die Filme aus den Grenzregionen unserer Welt. Außerdem können wir "Grit Flic" hier zu einem günstigen Kurs anbieten!
Talking of "kleine Abenteuer", Absprunghöhe ist ja ein dehnbarer Begriff. Was es mit dem Highball-Bouldern tatsächlich auf sich hat, geht "Rocky Mountain Highball" auf den Grund. Hohe Boulder zu klettern, ist nicht nur gefährlich, sondern auch reizvoll. Warum diese Kombination so unwiderstehlich ist, erklären in "Rocky Mountain Highball" zum Beispiel Paul Robinson, Lynn Hill oder Kevin Jorgesson.
Wer tolles Bouldern abseits ausgelatschter Pfade erleben will, dem sei "Swedish Meatballs" ans Herz gelegt. Auch diese DVD können wir günstig anbieten.

Die dunklen Tage können kommen! (naja, noch nicht gleich ;-)
