  • Back in winter Daniel Woods, Jimmy Webb, Giuliano Cameroni, Keenan Takahashi and Roman Yalowitz spent the whole season in Ticino, trying to develop Val Bavona; one of the coolest climbing spots worldwide. Kevin Takashi Smith was there capturing the best moments so here we go with part 1/2!

    Using the pace of music to mirror the pace of climbing is something that I think about all the time. It's so damn inspiring to see/hear KTS using music from bands like Russian Circles to dictate the pacing of his videos. It's literally been a dream of mine for a long time to do something similar, but I simply have not built up the video editing skills to do so. It was fucking BADASS to watch Giuliano dispatch that rig just as the breakdown hit in Harper Lewis. This video is like a collision of worlds for me. The marrying of my two biggest passions. Amazing work, Kevin! I seriously can't overstate how much I love your work. Another band that I'd recommend to anyone here who enjoyed this would be the band/man Cloudckicker. He's got some incredible instrumental music.

      Agreed! The music and pacing was incredible. Glad to know I was right to assume it was Russian Circles when the intro kicked in lol Climbing to rock/doom/post rock/whatever you want to classify RC as is something that needs to be done more.

    Some of the best climbing footage I've seen consistently coming from mellow. Love all the music you all choose for the videos, too. The vids must be demonetised cause of the music, right?
