VIDEO: BD athlete Nalle Hukkataival bouldering in Switzerland and Austria

Black Diamond athlete Nalle Hukkataival has spent the last couple of weeks cranking numerous boulder problems in Switzerland and Austria, including the first ascent of one of the most stunning looking problems we've seen, a long, difficult line Nalle dubbed Ninja Skills and rated 8B+. Nalle and crew put together an excellent clip of the ascent as part of their bigger video project called "Could Be Worse" (Concerning the name, Nalle posted the following comment on his blog: "Finally the film is finished. None of us know anything about filming or editing so we decided on the name Could Be Worse. I personally think it turned out pretty decent, so here it is. Please send all negative feedback to wedontcare@zer0skillz.com.")

Below is the Ninja Skills clip, which really details the complex beta-sussing and work that goes into pulling off such a difficult new problem. (You can also watch the Could Be Worse full-length clip by clicking here.)
