In reply to UKC News: I had to fast forward through all the car/city scenes at the start, but the rest is great. The Dani Andrada route looks utterly mind blowing.

In reply to GDes: I thought that was one of the strongest parts of the video. It's nice to see a bit of the country and culture too. Climbing is incredible.

Outstanding vid and place - the new "Yosemite/Verdon" ?

In reply to UKC News: At first I thought it was a little self-indulgent. But I loved the editing of the interview sync in time to the music.. Cool edit and stunning location/climbing..

My thoughts exactly to begin with, but they got the blend of climbing and non climbing action right, and stuck with the theme of setting it all to the beat of the surprising good and very original soundtrack. First class.

In reply to UKC News: Man - I was left totally cold. Too many people telling us how much they love climbing. Lets face it - you wouldn't be watching it if you didn't have a passing interest. And yeah stunning spot and stunning looking routes, but somehow the film didn't do it for me...

andybenham 24 May 2012

In reply to UKC News: Loved it! Excellent cinematography and a film that stands up for itself whether you are a climber or not.

One of the more original climbing films I have seen recently

David Peters 24 May 2012

In reply to UKC News: Hate to be one of those me too'ers but..... me too ! One of the best climbing vids I have seen in a long time, love the soundtrack.

Spot on! This is the best climbing video I've watched in yonks - somehow it was both 'in your face' and subtle. Beautifully shot & edited and the rhythm of the whole thing was perfect. I particularly loved how the interviewee's bits to camera were integrated into the trad~contemporary music. Excellent stuff - more please.
