The Casual Route (Diamond) Trip Report
At the end of a sport climbing trip to Maple Canyon in 2018, Rob Saunders and I made a last minute decision to try to climb the Diamond on Longs Peak via its most popular route, The Casual Route 5.10a. This was one day before flying back home to Australia. This is a very basic video trip report which shows the general flavour. In hindsight, I think we got fairly lucky.

China Climb 5.14b/8c
มุมมอง 340ปีที่แล้ว
2011 saw 24 year old Keller Rinaudo touring Asia to climb rocks with Ethan Pringle. This video details his exploits on one of the harder climbs in China, at that time - 'China Climb' 5.14b/8c. The crag is White Mountain in Yangshou. Behind the scenes: This interview was zero preparation, zero coaching and one take. Keller was a natural! He would go on to be a co-founder and CEO of Zipline, a bi...
The Singularity
มุมมอง 463ปีที่แล้ว
Long before becoming Australia's climbing Olympian, 2011 saw Tom O'Halloran ripping his way through the last of what were Queensland's hardest routes at that time. The last and hardest of these was this route, The Singularity 32/8b at 🇹🇭🇪 🇵🇺🇱🇵🇮🇹. Established as a locals training route and 'line of most resistance', The Singularity specifically looks for the hardest moves up the wall, a...
Vixen 32/8b+ First Ascent
มุมมอง 448ปีที่แล้ว
In August 2014, I climbed the first ascent of Vixen 32/8b , capping off a furious year of development at a brand new climbing area in New South Wales, Australia - "Spot X" in the Urbenville region. Whilst not the most natural of routes, the huge overhanging shield of rock is the crag's most inspiring feature, and produced some amazing climbing movement on this particular route. This ended up be...

In 2011, Tom O'Halloran made the second ascent of Schadenfreude 31/8b at 🇹🇭🇪 🇵🇺🇱🇵🇮🇹 in Queensland, Australia. I had to re-release this old footage just so you can marvel at his hyperextending elbows! Starring: A very young Tom O'Halloran Filmed in 2011, re-mastered in 2023 for TH-cam.
The Apprentice
มุมมอง 2.6Kปีที่แล้ว
We've all been there. On the verge of giving up. After so many knockdowns from a project, the climber just wants to walk away. The worth of a good belayer is often undervalued. Far from just holding the rope, a truly good belayer plays the role of coach, motivator and therapist to give the climber every chance of success. Although he's climbed routes of a higher grade, this was one of Matt's pr...
The Untold Story of THE DON
มุมมอง 8Kปีที่แล้ว
In 2006, a then 45 year old Duncan Steel began attempting an unclimbed project bolted by Kim Carrigan on the back wall of 🇹🇭🇪 🇵🇺🇱🇵🇮🇹, a crag located on private land in south east Queensland, Australia. Over the next 5 years, Duncan put all his effort into climbing this one route. At 50 years of age he was questioning whether he would ever climb the route, and declared 2011 his last sea...
The Janicepts 21/6b+ Trad Climbing. Uncut POV.
มุมมอง 9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Trad climbing in the Blue Mountains on The Janicepts (21), the famous crack climb that was Australia's hardest climb for a time. John Ewbank did the first ascent with one rest in 1966 which is pretty mind blowing; later freed by Mike Law in '74. Don't watch this if you want to onsight it! :)

Looks like a lovely route!!! Excellent lead👍 Greetings from South Africa 😀🧗♀️
An historic classic for sure! 👍🏼
More Hex ASMR please 😂
i’ve never seen a hex swung like that 😭
Loved the slinging hex placement at 19:45😂 great work, looks like an awesome route I hope to lead someday
Duncan talked me through this great feat, and I had only imagined it until seeing this now. Thank you Lee Cujes for posting this. Miss you, Duncan.
This is amazing Cujes, what an amazing video
Too much pre-placed gear to call it trad. Sick line though.
I recently got into sport climbing and wondered how trad would look like. Now I have an idea, looks fun! thank you :)
Shouldn't you credit Steph Abegg for the opening photo overlay?
Yep!
Duncan looks like a bodybuilder! JACKED
Omg this looks scary, brilliant short though 😅
Thanks for posting! Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
wow
👊🏼
When you’ve got mates that follow you uphill to share a rope for half a decade, you’ve already won. Inspired generations. RIP
Totally!
I have great memories from days climbing in Yangshuo - one day I'll go back. Thanks for the great vid!
Yeah, I’m psyched to go back as well. White Mountain was amazing.
all time! years after watching this for the first time, i still have that 'um wow,' 'ha ha.' line pop into my head randomly. fun fact, I still wear that north face jacket!
Bloody good times!
Great!
👊🏼
Really great climbing... please get rid of this music
Suggestion noted!
rad. how good does that rock look!
I’ve been waiting for this 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏼
👊🏼
@@lee-cujesI even appreciate this more- after trying it this weekend. Thanks for the vision and gift to the Northern Rivers Lee 🙌🏼
@@JimmyBlackhall Good to hear it's getting some love.
Looks amazing!
Yep, totally amazing piece of rock. 🤘🏼
😂😂 I’d love to know the intended beta for this
Вы очень крутые! Почему так мало подписчиков?!
Microphone doesn't seem to be working.
We were going to use a cup and string, but too high tech. 🍌
Wow I like that!!
“It’s going awesome”
LG!
FARK this is too much! What a throw back! Gosh I miss the Pulipt days. The best! Can't wait to relive The Singularity ;)
Haha, the good old days mate. Singu is coming. Get subscribed people!
High drama right there!
And high hair!
Classic, I used the have the same pinnacle shirt. I only enjoyed the start when he was failing 😉
Not much failing with the old TOH!
Great video. Lots of climbing, very little narrative, zero editorializing. A wonderful tribute to Duncan.
Thanks so much.
Music is bit loud. But good video
Thanks for letting me know. Cheers.
Such a great test of proper “no hiding” power endurance that route. Great clip Lee! Again - many classic one liners by The Don himself. 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Nice job!!
Thanks 🙏🏼
Thank you for putting this together and sharing it. One of my favorite climbing videos now!
That's really kind of you Adam, thanks man.
Great edit. You guys clearly had a great connection. Sorry for your loss.
That's a good looking line, nice work on it.
this is so inspiring. big ups to duncan.
Glad you enjoyed 🙏🏼
Best climbing mowie
Thank you! 🙏🏼
So good
That celebration at the end made me smile.
Great film mate, gutted about the ending, RIP Duncan. Seemed like the kinda guy i'd like to meet at the crag.
🙏🏼 ❤️
Awesome
Brilliant Lee, best film I've seen in ages and a fitting tribute!
Thanks Steve!
Real climbing!
You know it!
"I just want to go up there and just be positive, and be happy" 11:33 - such raw, authentic passion and stoke. This speaks volumes to Dunc's conscious intentions. Fly Free legend
Lots of wisdom in there from the man. ❤️
Superb piece of filmmaking .You managed to capture an essence there Lee.Beautiful tribute to the man
Thanks Dan. It’s great to have this footage to remember him by. Particularly with him at his peak (at 50, 😂) on his life’s biggest project.
I don't know the man, the crag and nor have I been to Australia before, but this is my favourite film I've seen in ages. Thanks for taking the time to put it together, clearly a special moment.
Thanks Remus, that means a lot. 🙏🏼
Legend! RIP Duncan
Thanks Den!
Dunc was my Deputy Principal great guy took my Behavior Management students to indoor climbing sorry to hear of his demise @@lee-cujes
So good Lee! Got shills when he let out the victory scream! RIP Dunc!
Up there with one of the most crazy sendage celebrations of all time. But it was very real! Thanks Philby.
Brilliant! To another lap in loving memory. Hugs mate.
