Autumn is here, you can feel it. Some mark it with by the leaves changing colours or the fact that the calender says "October" but have always found Fall to be something more intangible. It's that crisp cold, the one that brings a smell that they'll never try to replicate through scented candles. The humidity is leaving us, you can see farther on a clear day; and maybe you can garner just enough friction to send a project or two.
Temperatures that are a shade too crisp for the sustained exposure of rope climbing are perfect for pulling on pebbles. But crisp is soon going to turn cold. Below is a video that demonstrates what crisp conditions, natural talent, and an unwavering desire to hold on can bring. The Game V16 is one of two problems considered to be significantly harder than anything else out there right now. Both it and Lucid Dreaming V16 will be featured in (shameless plug) the Reel Rock Tour on November 6th. The short film "The Hardest Move" chronicles what it takes to boulder at this level and profiles the only two climbers currently doing so, Paul Robinson and Daniel Woods.
Some big news regarding the tour will be forthcoming this week. Enjoy the video.

Trailer
I ran across this little gem while enjoying my morning tea.
The Reel Rock Film tour is an annual tour of the best climbing related films. With no headlining film this year those lucky enough catch the show will have to make do with six short films that cover everything from Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson doing some extreme pebble wrestling to Uli Steck treating extremely large mountains like...well I have no frame of reference, I can't think of anything that I sprint.
When I first saw this trailer I thought "how many years till St. John's could host something like this?" Then I looked at the schedule and noticed they are doing many smaller shows in Quebec and none in BC. It seems like if someone steps up and wants to host a show Reel Rock is onboard. I just finished sending an email to them with a few inquiries. Obviously, it's a little late for this year but next year... Would this fly here?
