Nice film shame about the Vogon poetry and the AI generated piano chords

I’m more inclined to listen to her take on it and description of how it made her feel through whatever medium she chooses. 

Strange looking slab.

Having climbed routes next to it (with much bigger holds), I can confirm it ain't no slab!

Great looking line, great climbing and some seriously impressive breathing. Not quite sure why the topless bathing scenes were included though!

Is this the where she’s clearly overdubbed bedroom breathing noises throughout the climb? Notable that the breathing noise continues unabated while she has the rope in her teeth and can be instantly controlled while speaking to belay and camera crew.

Is it not just that in some countries a "slab" is a plane sheet of rock lacking large features of any angle?

Definitely turn the sound off, see if you can turn the subtitles off, and put your favourite music on.

You know you don't have to close your lips around the rope when you're clipping? (in fact, definitely not recommended!)

Do you really think that is her breathing while on that actual route in real time? I find a lot of her videos entertaining but this one was spoiled somewhat by the overdubbing.

I just had a quick look and it appeared synced. When she put the rope in her mouth it got subdued and when she made a big move, her breathing paused as she tensed for the move.

I think the odd sound is because she's close mic'd and you can't here any natural acoustics. The sound would work better mixed in with a wider audio recording (so you get more natural acoustics). It basically sounds like your ear is next to here mouth (which is not far from where the microphone is). 

I’m not convinced but happy to accept I could be wrong.

Definitely not, I just treated it as a sound effects track and found it quite interesting in that respect.
