The video before The Real Thing. Loved this back in the day. Huge fan of Ben and Jerry. I once saw Ben in the Camp 4 parking lot. He had his dreads still. I was staring at him, like “ omg it’s the legend!!” He smiled and nodded. I was stoked lol. Still wish I would’ve spoken to him, but that’s ok. Great and classic video!
just go to the foundry say hi and have a climb xD
Used to watch this VHS tape every day. Thanks for posting.
This was OG for me. In 1996 I had an old (even then) betaMAX video cassette player and ONE tape. This was it. So happy I can watch it again!!
Such an iconic video. Thanks for posting this! One of my greatest climbing memories was having a session on Deliverance with Ben after CWIF one year and Jerry coming out to heckle, great times!
Thank you for sharing this!!! A piece of the history of sport climbing!!!
Old school with no crashpads, savage 💪
one of those videos that inspired me. Thank you from France.
"Cool"
Classic understatement.
"Proof!"
Iconic excuse.
Still inspirational after all these years, well done chaps.
Thank god. Been searching for this for so many years!!!!
Wow.. I didint notice when it was uploaded...i will watch it 2 times in a row tonight
Love this. My all time favorite climbing movie.
OG spirit. amazing
Still got my vhs copy 🙂
When Deliverance was 7C+
Didn't realize it was ever rated 7C+ but the credits have it listed in the film as 8A 50:11 I did it in '99 and it was 7B+ then I believe, but heck I'll take the 8A 😂
@@senorblondie Good man 💪👍..Take the mats away and whats the grade?
@@jbradbury2 The grade stays the same without mats, it's a flat dirt landing like Fontainebleau, nothing sketchy about it and it's a relatively short drop. Honestly I can't recall if I even had a mat when I did it, most people in England at that time didn't have mats but maybe there was one around that day...
No fucking way!! Thank you! And youtube didn't even show it in my subscriptions tab!
Great!
remember this was unlisted only and had 0dislikes
This is the real Real Thing
Legends!! One of my favourite! Can you tell me the width of the 55 degree school board? 3 m?
no crashpads needed
30 stone!
I’ve been waiting 30 years to see this again thank you.
Still trying to figure out how to log this time..
Love it! Bouldering up to 12 feet above the ground without 20 crashpads and a team of spotters/hangers-on shouting "allez"!
Back when men were men, and so were the women and the sheep ran scared! 😂
You're still free to risk your health for climbing up a rock, so please refrain from judging others because they care about their life more than an ascent. But, yes, the 'allez' cheerleaders are annoying, even if some people benefit from being encouraged in such a way.
says the guy with multiple videos of him climbing 5 foot off the floor on the moonboard with a matress 🤣
No crash pads. while boudering. People used to be more tough
