    Well, it didn't take Billy long but today he climbed an 8C+ called 'Mr Hyde' with Alex Waterhouse down in Ceuse! Guess we'll have to follow up with a 9a film next ;)

    Awesome job Andrew!!! Loving the more long form/classical climbing videos showcasing different climbers and routes.
    PS-That being said, I am sorely missing Captain Cut-loose. Louis is so much fun to watch and as someone fairly new to climbing, his insights always allowed me to learn more.
    Either way, keep up the great work, Andrew!

      Because of the size of the pocket, people with skinny fingers have used their middle finger, and the unfortunate few with big fingers have had to use their pinky! Ring finger was just what fit for me :)

    Awesome Video! Loved the editing! I started climbing whilst at uni in derby at the climbing unit and have since moved home and climb regularly at harrowall. I have to say that the climbing unit although much smaller provides far better quality climbing and overall enjoyment due to the route setting, wall design and variety of holds. Harrowall is just awesome because its so big.

    Hi Andrew,
    The editing here is really high quality from a technical perspective but I have some hopefully not unwanted concerns about the story telling here.
    Obviously, you get what you get when yo film a climbing trip so you probably didn't know he was going to just crush it but it's not much of a surprise a national team athlete could crush a route this like so there was no real tension and it felt kind of anticlimactic.
    I'm happy for him and it's cool that he did it but I think we all appreciate triumph more in the face of struggle. As you noted in the comments he just sent 8C+. Watching Mani the Monkey hit that grade was rewarding because we've been following him on the journey for years.
    Watching Eric Karlsson (sort of) climb his second V6 outside and V9 inside recently was similarly much more rewarding because I've been rooting for ages.
    Again, not strictly your fault but I thought it was worth you hearing it from the audience since I think it could've been a chance to record more footage post send or something to change the tone.

    • @AndrewMacFarlane
      @AndrewMacFarlane  4 года назад +1

      Hey, thanks for the very thoughtful post! I also really enjoy some good tension for stories, and have used that for impact in some other videos to build suspense, but for me this was more about Billy and his parents. I don't think there was much doubt in any of us whether or not he could do it. But for me it was more about family... a father and son out for a climb just like when Billy started as a kid.

      @Cosmicgardening 4 года назад

      @@AndrewMacFarlane that's totally fair! I'll see if I can rewatch parts in that light, I think that the title might've had me expecting a slightly different story and reframed my viewing. Appreciate the quick response. Looking forward to your next video man!
