The Ticklist #13 - Hard Sport, Highball Bouldering and Horrendous Crack Climbing
In this week's Ticklist, we take a look at some hard sport ascents, Barbara Zangerl's ascent of Greenspit and the usual hard bouldering.
This week's Friday Night Video is a bouldering masterclass from Jimmy Webb. He attempts Lucid Dreaming, a notoriously crimpy Font 8C which is very difficult to find in the right condition. On the heavier side, Webb explains that he usually shies away from climbs of this style and that climbing the problem was a pivotal moment for him. A fun video with some stunning footage of the bouldering paradise of Bishop.
