Просмотров 38 тыс.7 месяцев назад
Ethan travels to Portugal, to the not-yet-popular, but world-class sport-crag "Meio Mango", to try one of the country's hardest lines- "Filipinos". First climbed by local Portuguese pro Andre Neres in 2019, Filipinos is one of the most stunning and high-quality routes of the grade in Europe, climbing a perfect, 20-meter panel of porcelain limestone, right above the crashing Atlantic.

Ethan Pringle climbs mega Red Rock highball, Water Colors (V11R)

Ethan heads to Red Rock to meet up with the Mad Rock crew and take down Water Colors - a lesser known, but majestic highball in the right fork of Black Velvet Canyon. The 25ft Tom Moulin FA packs a punch and proved a little more "serious" than Ethan initially suspected.

    Very good, but next time please don't "fast forward" during the actual climbing! Don't tell me that people have so little patience that they cannot even see a short boulder climb all the way through. The smooth, almost ballet-like movement is what makes the top climbers so impressive to watch; it touches the soul.

    • @ethanpringle
      @ethanpringle 2 месяца назад

      Well none of the boulders we did actually have bolts. We theorized that some “could” if they were at a sport-climbing area. But most of them were actually pretty safe with enough pads

    Why don't you put grades on the boulder problems?, is it that " trying to be too cool" factor?.

    • @ethanpringle
      @ethanpringle 2 месяца назад

      Part of it is that I think our grading system is extremely flawed. I think every problem deserves a range. In my experience, grades can cheapen the experience and put what the viewer is watching into a box, into a hierarchy and into a ranking. This film was less about hard sends and more about telling a story of my relationship with fear.

It's easy to assume that all pro climbers doing stuff like that are absolutely fearless and never get scared, nervous, or think about the consequences. Thank you for showing us both sides. Also nice that you didn't mention any grades, these days everything needs to be V something or it is nothing...
