mmmm that is truly bad quality, probably not bother with that again, just noticed the youtube videos on Andy Earls site, guess a bad video of a hard problem is more interesting than a bad video of an easy problem.
I like the look of that problem in the video, seems to have some good moves. Is the crack/flake off-limits until the top-out?
I think posting mobile phone footage (pretty much always low quality) onto YouTube (also pretty much always low quality) is something probably best left to the Happy-Slappers! That said it does at least give a good representation of the line taken by a given problem even if it’s too low res. to get any sense of the size of the holds used.
If you record on your video camera then post it I expect it will give much better result so I reckon it’s worth lugging the thing out bouldering.
But your YouTube vid. gives a better indication of the problems down here than the other Cornish Bouldering clip…

Of all the quality hard problems in Cornwall all a search brings up is some chap in socks climbing a scrappy easy bit of rock a Porthcurnow!
Andy, if you do post more videos on YouTube make sure you give them loads of tags (eg. Bouldering Cornwall Penwith Zennor V4 blocspenwith…) so they crop up with lots of different search phrases and come top of the results list. Also mention or link to this blog in the description of the clip.
Just a few suggestions use them or ignore them as you see fit!
Hi your website is cool
