In reply to Mick Ward:
> Totally agree, Dave. Is it just me or is James Pearson a superb participant/presenter of climbing films? It's never just another hard route, there's always a little story why the route has a particular meaning for him, why it matters. So, if it matters to him, it's far more likely to matter to us, the viewers.
> Invariably the climbing is highly demanding. He's lifting the veil and showing what it's like to do iconic routes which are way too hard for us. But, in a risk business, there's always a sense that he's exercising as much control as one could ever have. Sometimes in climbing films you think, 'Well that was fantastic, thank God they got away with it... but please don't keep on in this vein else it may all end in tears.' There's never that feeling in James Pearson films. He seems a very good role model for responsible climbing.
> Sure he's got sponsors and they'd like their products displayed on his T shirt or whatever. Fine by me. He's got to wear some clothes anyway so why not!
> Yet another superb climbing film.

Absolutely Mick I have always really, really enjoyed James's climbing films whether he is the main participant and presenter/narrator such as The Walk of Life at Dyer's Lookout or just assisting his other half Caroline in Shifting Dreams on the Grand Capucin. Really great and inspiring videos!
Happy Sunday to you!
