Scarred for Life - Australia


Cool short film series about Dave Graham & friends, travelling the world and bouldering hard things! This is the Australia clip in which Ian Dory (@IanDory), Nalle Hukkataival (@NHukkataival)
an Dave Graham (@Dave_Graham_) climb (on) the following problems:
On The Beach (V13), Parallel Lines (V11), Wave Room (Project), Occam's Razor (V14), Cherry Picking (V13)
Music:
Urban Cone – “Photograph”
Rusko – “Everyday”

starting to climb and beginning to study sport science fell into the same period for me, so I have been always interested in training for climbing, even when I wasn't training myself. The recent pics are from my work as the German boulder coach!

the Art (and Science) of Bouldering...

... is an iPad app based on our (German) book "Lizenz zum Bouldern" (see teaser below) we are developing at the moment.

 

 Read the rave reviews for the book here:

"I, you, he, she, it boulders. We, you, they know: Bouldering is great. Generally, you don't need to know more, if anything. You can do it just like that. If you (or others) try to find out what bouldering is all about, some tested catchphrases, nowadays found in almost any outdoor guide book, are usually enough by itself to create an appealing image. And that's a good thing. 

But what if you want to know more, if you want to explore this topic in depth and say something about the phenomenon bouldering that differs from stereotypical views: then you write a book about it, like Udo ”Udini“ Neumann did. Why he named this book ”Lizenz zum Bouldern“, in connection with another book by this author (Lizenz zum Klettern), is understandable. It goes without saying that this book is not about fancy words, but about providing a deeper understanding. Its pinch of scientific content is well dosed. However, ”Lizenz zum Bouldern“, just like another book by Udini, ”Der XI. Grad“, also is not a training guide. What these two works have in common, however, is their evocativeness, conveyed by fun-to-look-at layouts and graphics as well as intelligent and humorous, but in no way know-all texts that make your fingertips sweat.

This page-turner makes you want to know more, to go out there and do it – bouldering. 

Complete novelties are the elaborately arranged video analyses of various bouldering world cups. Sounds boring, but it's extremely interesting to take a closer look at the approach of people that know how to do it. The accompanying analyses are enlightening and may be relied upon: as a coach of the DAV national bouldering team Udo knows, what he is talking about.

 

Overall, a gem with an unmistakable Udini-style that belongs on every bookshelf, not far from the latest issue of CLIMAX."

Bouldern - Natursport für Kreative

Das DAV-Panorama hat meinen Text ziemlich gekürzt, hier ist der Artikel (und hier eine Slideshow), so wie ich ihn ursprünglich geschrieben hatte:

Vorsicht, potentiell kontroverser Inhalt! Der folgende Artikel geht davon aus, dass der Leser kein Problem damit hat, wenn Menschen jedes Alters und Geschlechts durch Wald und Wiesen huschen und Felsbrocken beklettern um nach dem Klettern spur- und geräuschlos wieder in die Zivilisation zu verschwinden. Denn darum geht es in diesem Artikel, ums Felsbrocken beklettern, auf Neudeutsch: Bouldern, und zwar in Deutschland! Ach Deutschland! Wir Deutschen tun uns mit den kleinen Abenteuern schwer...
