Okay, that Patagonia video thing has gotten me hooked. I started perusing the YouTube catalog for some more free climbs, and I have come across some real gems.

Just for a taste, check out this clip of "Underground" - a 5.14c/d climb - this is absolutely one of the freakiest displays of climbing prowess I've ever seen. Unbelievable. (He apparently specializes in roof climbs)

Off to the right you will see the "Related" video links - all are climbing videos, and all are quite good, but especially check out "Dreamcatcher" with Chris Sharma - a 5.14d with one of the more ridiculous red points I've ever seen. Just look at the closeups of how little his hands have to grab onto. Just insane.

Or how about "Witness the Fitness" - another roof climb that would be impossible for a normal human.

Then take a gander at some real cliff diving
.
You could also search for "Dave Graham" or "Chris Sharma" and come up with a lot of very cool results. There were even a couple of videos that showed the "project" or "workout" process these amazing climbers go through.

There are also quite a few links around bouldering as well. Petzel apparently sponsors quite a bit of climbing/bouldering expeditions/videos as well. Some really excellent stuff in there.

Okay, I need to stop now. I've wasted several hours just watching in amazement. There is a LOT of cool rock-climbing/bouldering content on YouTube.
