  • This film follows Irish climber David Fitzgerald ( dv_fitzgerald), who after taking up the sport only 5 years ago travelled to the Peak District to try the hardest bouldering problems on grit. After sending Deliverance (7B+) and The Ace (8B) David set his sights on Voyager sit start (8B+)
    Voyager was set by Ben Moon in 2006 and had only been climbed by two others (Niccolò Ceria and Ned Feehally) before David. It is widely regarded as the hardest route on grit.
    David was filmed in the Peaks and in his home city of Dublin over the course of two months in spring 2017, while working on the route and training indoors.
    David is sponsored by MoonClimbing.
    Produced by Puzzleglass films
    Directed and Edited by Joe O'Connor
    Shot by Joe O'Connor and Sam Walker
    Soundtrack composed by Tom O'Connor
    Additional music by Hashfinger

    Amazing. This is the epitome of a climbing film for climbers. No overdramatic music, slow motion, nothing. Just pure climbing. Amazing.

    I love how composed this guy is. You see so many boulderers whine about skin or conditions when they don't send. David just accepts it for what it is even when everything is not going his way. Really admirable.

    The production quality was so good and the subscribers are so low all I could think while watching this was, I have to find where this was stolen from. This isn't a RUclips video its a legitimately great short film.

    • @Puzzleglass
      @Puzzleglass  7 лет назад +13

      We've never been so happy to be accused of stealing! A lot of time and energy went into producing this film so we're glad to hear you speak so highly of it!

    How did you start your training in the beginning? im 1 and 1/2 year in to climbing and im currently climbing 6c to 7a. im wondering what kind of training i can do to not get injured but still get the most effect on gaining max strength and power? would be happy if you can give some tips :-)
