Hope you don't mind me being honest but I found this is a very boring video. There is no context to any of it. You felt motivated to make a video and in particular you chose a select group of problems. But the viewer has no idea why you chose this set of problems and not a completely different set. The selection just seems completely random. There's also nothing about the setting of the places where these are. Just single viewpoint of the problem. There is nothing about the history of the problems or their significance to the climber. If these problems are meaningful and worth making a film about it would make a far more interesting video to explain why. An example of what I mean is the recent short of Tom Randall doing the Kraken that has good narration all the way through it.

Think you are being overly critical. It showed some problems I havent seen before, so that was enough for a watch. It looks useful for beta, and would inspire me to check those problems out if I climbed in that area. Not all climbing vids need a story. Some are just a record of someone climbing a route. Nothing wrong with that.

Thanks Robin, I don't know what that person expected but seems to be very disappointed ha ha. But surely you won't be when you try and do those problems. Cheers.

No, I don't mind.

Yes I agree and I apologize. It's unfair to bring up my opinions about climbing vids on one person's video. And to be honest its not just this video, there are a number vids like this and I think I'm more fed up with this generalized way of making videos than this one in particular. So Robin thanks for defending Szymon and pointing this out and Szymon, thanks for taking my remarks graciously.
