The Future Of Bouldering Videos?Video

© Petzl
In Ashley Lewis's review of the Swedish bouldering video, Swedish Meatballs published this morning at UKClimbing.com (read it here), he asked what is the future of bouldering videos? He wrote:

"No matter how popular bouldering becomes, for the large part, it remains dull to watch, this is especially the case when dealing with climbers or problems you are not already familiar with to give context to the action. Then again the same could have been said about climbing films 20 years ago and then along came Stone Monkey to show what could be done in the right hands. I don't know what the next step is for bouldering films, that's why I'm sat here criticising rather than doing, but I'd like to think that someone will come along to soon to redefine the genre."

Is this the answer to Ashley's question: Petzl Navalameca 70's - the movie !

Peace, bro!

Trailer certainly looks like shite. When are climbing film-makers going to realise that shots of cars driving along are not interesting? Some beautiful bits of stone, mind. jcm

Fast forwarded after 2 minutes and then gave up - great fun for them I'm sure but it's fairly feeble possible 'future'.
