Awesome. 

That was wonderful.

Really enjoyed that video. The montage bit in particular was very well done.

Best climbing film I've seen for ages. The ticking clock montage was extremely well realised. Ace

Wonderful video,, best I've seen for ages. For a change l thought the sound track really enhanced the film. 

Fantastic!

Given the standard of climbing films seems so high, there still seems something very special indeed about this one. His humility and passion for hard work shine through. It wonderfully captures the incredulity of finally getting up something you couldn't imagine you were ever going to get up - but you didn't give up either. And then one day, joyously it happened.

A lesson and an inspiration to us all. And an acknowledgement that supportive people - the tribe - can make a huge difference.

I enjoyed it, a really nice little film, I particularly liked the portraits at the end. Although did anyone else find the contrast of the trad ethic on the climb and the bushcraft-engineering to build a landing patio slightly amusing? It looked a few metal stakes going in to hold it all together!

I thought briefly about letting it bother me, but then decided not to.

I presume you were already in quite a state of upset, what with him being an ambassdor-athlete who keeps "sending" things and whatnot...?

I have to admit that the use of the dreaded A-Word at one point did grate as horribly as ever.

A lovely film but, as Mick says upthread, there are loads of top quality climbing films about now. The thing that made it stand out for me was the humility and the acknowledgement of all the people who had played a part in his succeeding on the route. I particularly loved the  woman in the bar.  A bit like Free Solo you glimpsed the bigger picture behind the headline ascent.

That bit came over as ever as ever so slightly naff to to me. It was evident from the rest of this lovely little film that spoke for itself that he is a thoroughly nice guy.

I thought the landing stuff was a little incongruous, but then they show another part of the crag in the video where there’s a massive cut granite steps along the base. 

Great vid, just missing some uncut ascent footage, it kind of felt like there were bits of the climb we didn’t get to see. 

Great to see Jacopo so happy. I guess that was because when he first spotted it he didn't know if it was at all possible.There is magic in not knowing.
