    Was a little hesitant about this one when I saw how long it was, I feel like a lot of the 20+ minute climbing videos have felt repetative lately, but this one had such a good story. It was not just a bunch of clips of highpointing, falling, and then going home. The highlights on drying the boulder, cleaning snow from it, and fighting with your skin really made this one stand out. Loved it all around.

      I feel like they almost always show the struggle thats why people always liked their videos next to the quality production and music. Its just 42 minutes of struggle and usually its 15 minutes of struggle.

    This send once again shows, what I think many a climber has experienced, and only half-believed. Climbing because you want to climb instead of climbing because you want to send makes a big mental difference. So many sends are the results of "Fuck it I'm tired but I don't want to stop now" or "Alright, not the best conditions but let's give it a shot". The first try and the last try of the day always have something special to them.

    J'avais honnêtement pas trop d'attente; je trouvais que 42 minutes pour un bloc c'était un peu long. 42 minutes scotché à l'écran plus tard : c'est un des meilleurs films de bloc que j'ai jamais vu. Le son et l'image sont en parfaite adéquation. La qualité cinématographique est hallucinante. Bravo, franchement. Ça promet pour la suite.

      @MrWill830 10 месяцев назад +4

      I think Aidan Roberts who also climbed alphane was saying just that in some video. Something along the lines of the boulder is 55 degrees but it doesn't translate on video

  • @yalimodanclimbing9223
    @yalimodanclimbing9223 10 месяцев назад +37

    As a relatively new video editor I must say, this movie is amazing. Truly inspirational. I have yet to see a climbing film with such perfect and precise flow, rythem and feeling. The music and coloring complimented the different moments very well, the breaks were very well timed and added a great deal to the emotions, and the montages (especially the one in the ending sequence) were beautifully cut and rythmic.
    I will surely come back to this film for inspiration in video editing and for climbing many times in the future.
    Great job!

  • @will_levorse
    @will_levorse 10 месяцев назад +38

    Awesome process! Really cool to watch such a strong climber on one of the coolest problems out there.
    Just happened to notice that there was the idea thrown out in this video that the solution to feeling weak during a session is to starve the body. Maybe it was just poor translation, but regardless it stuck out to me and I just wanted to add my voice saying that we should be nourishing our bodies with plentiful calories and nutrition to crush it during our sessions! The opposite can lead to quite harmful and sometimes deadly outcomes.

    • @Kaygu_
      @Kaygu_ 10 месяцев назад +7

      I think it was more about the quantity of the food than the quantity of calories. He says a bit earlier he doesn't want to drink a shaker tonight iirc. I think he just ate something fat or heavy and felt bad about it. Not saying you aren't right, I just dont think he starves himself. I hope so at least

    @HappyChap7777 10 месяцев назад +9

    Wonderful video and such a pleasure to watch! I love the longer form content that provides deeper insight to the process and the ups and downs. However, I do think we need to talk about the comments made at 15:30. I know it is only a translation that I am reading as an English speaker and I could be missing out on context, but regardless, this video was translated into English and that is how many people are consuming his words. I enjoyed his attitude and watching the battle throughout the rest of the video, but I believe that there should be absolutely zero tolerance in climbing media for any language portraying "I am feeling weak and performing badly, therefore I will eat less". Climbing is obviously a strength to weight endeavor, and there is lots of nuance to be discussed on the matter as it is absolutely a part of the sport, but as a coach who has worked with many climbers who easily fall into toxic narratives surrounding performance and simply eating less, it is extremely concerning to see it in an influential video. I hope this isn't seen as an attack towards any individual, but just someone who is concerned about how dangerous these simple phrases can be.

    • @maxwellerickson7066
      @maxwellerickson7066 10 месяцев назад +4

      It is a true fact of the sport that weight is correlated directly to how well we climb... there are plenty of times when you will "feel" heavy and bloated perhaps because of what you have eaten recently. I agree that we should make sure that everyone in climbing knows the risks of undernourishment and RED-S, this is important, but when you say "absolutely zero tolerance" I think we are just fooling ourselves. No one is helped when the influential climbers pretend it doesn't exist! I appreciated seeing the video honestly portray Simon's struggles and I would rather that than the opposite.

C'est toujours intéressant de montrer tout le processus de travail d'un projet, et non pas uniquement le résultats final de l'enchainement. La première partie du film où l'on voit tous les obstacles à surmonter (météo, peau..) contraste vraiment avec la seconde partie avec l'enchainement. L'important est de ne jamais lacher l'affaire!

    It´s very impressive seeing Simon battling with this piece, the ups and downs. It´s an outstanding performance which is probably for many climbers a good mirror for their own battles.
    Hopefully those don't take everything shown in the video unreflected in their habits. Taking ibuprofen to suppress pain is maybe common and ibu is not on the dopinglist. But it can be and it often is part of the unhealthy habit denying an injury. The message - exspecially for young climbers - could be: Don´t accept the borders your body is signing out. That shoundn´t been shown in a clip of a role model like Simon.

    Awesome video.... however I have some thoughts about the responsibility professional climbers have. Early in the video when things aren't going great, Simon ends up calling himself fat and frustrated, says: "tonight I'm eating really light". Later on he also takes pain killers to help him on the project.
    Regardless of what you think about eating less and taking pain killers, I believe that it is the responsibility of professional climbers, who are role models to thousands, not to promote unhealthy habits which can lead to under-eating or injury. I don't believe that Simon is in the wrong for doing these things as he is entitled to train and climb however he would like. I do think, however, that these things should not be broadcast to the public. At the very least, if these habits are shown publicly, I think they should come with a notice saying that others should not do as Simon does. I believe it is the responsibility of Simon, the filmmakers and Mellow to not end up accidently promoting some of the most prevalent issues in our sport.
    That being said...it was a great video and such an incredible send!
