While the footage is capturing I was sitting and making notes on the interview and what he was saying so that I could go through and make a narrative for it.
Tape 5 - Untitled 16:
- When you climb outside and its freezing cold like it is today it takes quite a while for your fingers to warm up. so the process you get hot aches which isn't a nice process at all. So when I was on my climb before i was climbing with very very cold fingers, which isn't the nicest thing.
- Its great to be out in the peak district for a change because we've been indoors.
- Yeah its usually in the summer when we come outside to climb, its usually to cold and to wet in the winter.
- So the difference between boldering and climbing is with climbing you use rope and you use difference bits of equipment all together to keep you safe while climbing. BANGING
- The difference between boldering and climbing is with climbing you use rope and pieces together to keep you safe and can climb a lot higher and do things you wouldn't do without a rope. With boldering its a lot more close to the ground. You use pads to keep you safe and you take breaks and do really hard moves that *** because you are close to the ground.
- Usually boldering is the most difficult, it had the more difficult moves. You push yourself to the limit when your bordering because you haven't got that fear which you do have with climbing because your very high. Boldering your close to the ground and you don't have to think of the safety side of it.
- We generally come out climbing for the entire day, generally in the peak district or further a field. We'll stay for a weekend of stay for 6 months whatever, just depends on the circumstances.
- There are lots of different ways you can train at becoming better at climbing and a lot of them do involve strength. So to do with your fingers, what i think is most effective is to hang off a sort of finger board, which is a glorified pulling bar. Its a piece of wood with different holes in and you hang off your fingers and it gets stronger.
Tape 6 - Untitled 27:
- Was too cold today, holds are big and good bur if hands are cold cant really fill them. So wasn't ideal.
- I would have fallen if wasn't holding one, its just cant tell if its a good hold or a bad hold, its very insecure.
- We use the ropes for safety, put the metal runners in the rocks then they will catch me if I fall off.
- The holds on the finger board and climbing wall are very small, tips of fingers, where those up there are big holds so can hold on for longer. (Repeated)
- ***** where we are now is one of the most famous climbing area in Britain, is famous from abroad as well. This route is a classic so a lot of people do it. a lot of people fall off it as well from what i see when Im here. with the ropes that helps them so they don't hit ground.
- Sometimes but not on ****** but on some of the climbs you get scared and think your going to fall off.
- Either that or you fall off but hopefully you've placed your protection alright.
- Well usually when you get to the top your very pleased with yourself but today i was just relieved to be off the climb because it was so cold. But as soon as you get to the top the *** kicked in and you have a moment to yourself swearing trying to warm up
Tape 7 - Untitled-/27: Same interview as above but a CU on face
Tape 9 - Untitled 342:
- Yeah in some way its been fun, its always nice to get out. even if today is the coldest day.
- Erm these particular climbs which i have done quite a fews times yeah.
- one that we've done today, it would probably be ****** the one on the erect side where i was trying to get heel up. its very good.
- Cold makes it very difficult, because to start with you cant feel your fingers but then you do warm up. when its really cold it makes you think its more *** easier to injure say you fingers.
- i would go as far as saying ive injured it, its tweeky, like fingernail i can feel it starting to go. and if it does go mean 3 or 4 months of climbing, definately not worth it.
- certaintly no more then 3 days in a row. the thing with grit stone is it wears down the skin so quite a few days it wuite unusual as your skin will disorientate.
- around here are made of grit stone and lime stone. *** grit stone is more about friction.
- with grit stone, when its cold the friction is better so you have to find a balance between cold and too cold. today it was too cold.
- Spain,
- Thats where we will be this summer.
