Only just discovered this program, sadly, it's still on IPlayer, at least some of it.

The climbing one last night was great, amazing what some young people are achieving.

Something for everyone on some of the other programs too.

Thanks for that link. Impressive stuff from the young 'uns and the event was well covered. I thought the commentary was pretty good too - relaxed and informative for both climbing and non-climbing audiences. 

Good reminder in there for climbing walls (and Clubs?) around the country to be thinking about the possible impact of Olympic coverage on future take-up of the sport.

yes it was great, I wasn't so impressed with the interviews afterwards, but still

Some of the others in the series are quite good too, but running out of time on IPlayer.

The Cletman was particularly good.

The Adventure Show. Not much adventure on show here. No risk, no sign of trad. But with the Scottish weather climate I can understand having to resort to indoor wall climbing. Totally Boring!

I see you simply discounted the other programs in the series, well done! Let us know how you got on when you've done the Cletman, won't you?

14 years olds onsight leading 8a, I'd say that's pretty adventurous, but each to his own I suppose.

Like I said, it's up to you,  no one going to make you like it. The Adventure Show was more than one program though, it's like someone looking at one photograph, saying it's shit and not bothering looking at any others.
