Time on my Hands - Yorkshire Gritstone Bouldering

It's been a strange year. Thankfully there has still been some climbing to be had between the lockdowns and I live very close to some excellent crags.
Here is a short look back at some of my climbing highlights from a productive season. It focuses on some established classics at my local crags, a couple of lesser climbed problems and a first ascent of my own.
Problems:
Zoo York - 0:38
Fluid Dynamics - 2:07
Treebeard - 3:22
Pinch Perfect - 4:57
Banana Republic - 6:52
Mistaken Identity - 8:08
Underworld - 9:31
The Real Slim Shady (FA) - 11:04
A massive thanks to everyone who came out in between lockdowns to spot and shout encouragement at me - it means a lot!

Cracking video Olly, really enjoyed seeing the local climbs. The editing was fantastic too

[@oliverjamesparkinson]

Thanks! It was good fun to make.

[@FraserCorrie]

Spot on camera work and some sick lines - deserves way more views

[@projectlivesey5629]

Quality in every way 👊

Cheers! Glad you enjoyed it.

What a great edit. Really captured the feel of the venues. Solid ticklist too,some absolute bangers there. Treebeard sans spotters is a bold effort btw, good skills. Great effort on Underworld too...refreshing to see the slash grade. That thing is HARD.

Thanks! I’m well chuffed with the list this year. Yeah a few people have said that but once I knew where I was falling it felt okay! Ah yeah it is HARD, and there was a pebble in the starting hold which unfortunately blew out as well so it’s a touch harder than it was.

Nice one! I was there watching you on that very cold accent of Zoo York! Good to see the video.

[@oliverjamesparkinson]

Ah great! Yes I remember having a chat, it was a good day for grit that day! Glad you took the time to watch the finished film.

[@AdamLincoln1979]

What a great short film. And some of the best looking lines I have ever seen.

[@oliverjamesparkinson]

Thanks! Yes, some of the lines in Yorkshire are really special.

Nice stripy minipad.

I love that thing.

[@PET3RC]

Great video, did you name the last climb?

[@oliverjamesparkinson]

Thanks! Yes, I got to name the last climb. It extended a problem called 'Slim Shady' which originally finished at the half height break and I felt like it fit nicely.

[@kneescumproductions2893]

fucking mega

[@IsaacBuckley]

nice video, also it looks like you repeated nearly every problem for the extra shots, good effort!
