Treasure Island
When James Pearson and Caroline Ciavaldini get told a story from their good friend Yuji Hirayama of a Japanese island with unclimbed cliffs and beautiful untouched granite, they need little other persuasion to pack their bags and travel from their home in France to the other side of the World.
Finding more than just new lines, they discover an island still trying to recover from the 2011 Earthquake and resulting Tsunami that decimated not just the landscape but the island's economy.
Joining them on the island is Toru Nakajima, no stranger to hard British trad, and between them they go about exploring the bouldering and trad potential and putting up new lines from HVS to E7.
An unknown island no more, Kinkasan offers new trad and bouldering opportunities for those looking for an excuse to travel to new destination.

Magnus Midtbø - Jungle Speed 8c+.mov from MadSkillz Media on Vimeo.
Magnus Midtbø crushes the short and powerful Jungle Speed in Siurana this february (2015).
The intro comments are made by Martin Mobråten who was the first Norwegian to climb the route a few weeks earlier.
The video is from the actual ascent but a few clips are taken from another attempt as I had to change positions.
Camera is as always the Canon 5D Mark II and the lenses used are the 70-200 f2.8 IS II and the 16-35 f2.8 II.
The top part unfortunately got a bit out of focus, the subtitles are not perfect, could not decide on the music, got tired of looking and then just went with this, like it or not, it's free :)

Nalle Hukkataival Australie : Vidéos
Black Diamond athlete Nalle Hukkataival spent most of September 2011 down in Australia, climbing on the beautiful and bullet stone of the Grampians. We had Keith Ladzinski on the scene to capture the action and he came back with gigs of quality footage—so many gigs of footy that it took he and his partner at Three Strings Media, Andy Mann, until now to work through the goods. But the wait was worth it as you see Nalle nailing down FAs and classic boulders, as well as even tying into a rope (no one can resist the call of the stunning Taipan Wall!).
Nalle Hukkataival à Bleau : Vidéos
Black Diamond athlete Nalle Hukkataival ventured to the iconic blocs of Fontainebleau, France in early 2011 and pulled off a string of impressive ascents during his stay. Here is a highlight reel filmed and edited by Alvi Pakarinen that brilliantly captures Nalle sending Karma (8A+), Elephunk (8B), L'Apparemment (8B), the stunning dyno of Rainbow Rocket (8A)—to name just a few. After all of Nalle's masterful sendage, you'll want to watch the last 2:30 of the video were Nalle (jacked ankle and all) endures failure after failure after failure on La Puce, a one-move-wonder 8A dyno that has him ass-stacking over and over again until, well... watch for yourself and enjoy.
The Mark of the Beast
One lone man in the middle of the desert does the impossible and turns back the hands of time. After a five year hiatus from the bouldering mecca of Hueco Tanks, Texas. Jay Bone returns to try and prove himself on the stone that made him the man he is today. His inner struggle is only half the battle as he try's to earn the Mark of the Beast, with his trusty sidekick Flash at his side.
