Climbing Moments Part One

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

The first part of the climbing vids with me, Fallon and Amy at the climbing wall. Highlights: thrashing the green route, speed-climbing competition, the impossible bouldering wall, the skilled filming of Fallon, Amy’s near-death experience. “Look at her go! She’s like a frog!!” Fallon = frogging, Fiona = chimneying, Amy = randoming This is slightly different from the origional version, but not much. For parts two and the origional visit my channel. Enjoy! -x
