      Hayden Nier there’s a million versions but I think it’s the original orchestration of Air on a G string (2nd movement of the Bach orchestral suite in D Major) ruclips.net/video/pzlw6fUux4o/видео.html. Before off the wagon is some remix of the Prelude no.1 in C Major.

    Cameron Maier is a god damn genius. The editing is dead nuts perfect and I love the story of having the trip start out with no sends (and no music), just piecing stuff together and then eventually being able to put climbs down and culminating in them both doing their thing on Off the Wagon. Super inspiring film making.

    What’s so nice about the off the wagon shot from underneath is that I think a lot of us know the moves, and so seeing such a different take on the moves we’ve seen over and over is super fresh and yeah little artsy (the composition is sweet). Man this channel is a gem. Like a never ending Dosage series.

    loved the concept for this film. Woods' "I dream of blowing it up" after fails (3:55) together with shots of blown up blocks of rock, and then the switch into sends with shots of sculptures made from these blocks.

    ok so about off the wagon - what's up with that wagon? who owns it and leaves it there forever? like does it never get moved and what if it does get moved and/or replaced by a different wagon with different dimensions, does that change the climb? has anybody tried the climb from the ground or would the wagon fall apart if moved or is it not allowed to move it? just feels so nuts to have one of the world's most famous boulders crucially involve a rickety, old, mobile piece of farm utility. Like why don't we open up more climbs like 'off that one branch of that one tree halfway up the rock' etc? sorry my mind is going on a tangent here. just wondering.
