That looks suspiciously like Action Directe to me...

Indeed a nice wee video but your description of it may confuse a lot of people

I was expecting a video of a new nebulae or some such

My apologies for the brain fart.

If any mods wander past this way, please revise the thread title.

What a lovely film of Martin Buster on Hubble Directe...

Joking aside - that was a great film!  Love Buster's whole attitude towards both climbs, and their places in the development of climbing.  Also very impressed that he managed to decide to just keep going on AD when everything was going wrong - would have been very easy to assume it was only going to go if every movement was perfect.  Climbing sometimes defies reason.

Aye was nice to see someone climbing a hard route like a sack of potatoes. Hard sport redpoints usually look so fluid and rehearsed (as I guess they have to be at that level) but it was refreshing to see someone push through an imperfect execution. Being off but somehow staying on is how I usually climb at my limit. 

I loved how he placed so much emphasis on the heel/toe-hook move but when it came down to the successful go, it all went wrong and he cut loose!#

Also - did I get the size of those shoes right?!
