    Jim's enthusiasm for the place is so contagious!
    And the photography is so superb it almost makes you wanna cry.

    I kept thinking "what a nice looking pla... wait I live here dammit!" 😄. It's sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees, certainly made me psyched for the spring season. Top quality 👌.

      @WEDGECLIMBING  9 месяцев назад +7

      Thanks! Haha it's definitely true. I get like that with places in the UK too. Sometimes it's good to see these places from another perspective 💪

    This video gives Finland the respect it never asked, but always deserved. Also shows what one of a kind visionary Nalle is in the climbing world. Huge thanks for this high quality video, I humbly ask for more as soon as possible

    Too often climbing content focuses entirely on the hardest climbs and purely the process of projecting and the try-hard but for me climbing is about beauty - the beauty of the rock, the location, the friends you're with... Obviously just focusing on Aidan on Burden would have been the way to get the most views but thanks for showing off all aspects of this place and the trip. More of this!

    • @WEDGECLIMBING
      @WEDGECLIMBING  9 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! I was a bit worried that people would only be interested in burden, I'm glad that's not the case 😁

  • @backgroundkiller
    @backgroundkiller 8 месяцев назад +2

    The video quality, the dynamic of the two and the soundtrack are breathtaking! Sometimes I really have the feeling that pro climbing videos display a whole lot of suffering/self deprecation and anger - which is in the heat of the moment very understandable. But seeing more gentle people moving up the climbs is such a nice change of pace

    • @WEDGECLIMBING

    it's reaaaalllly satisfying to finally watch climbing vids that aren't trashed by gansta rap or hip hop crapping all over it, along with all the obligatory tourette's-level "c'mawnnn"s, "niiiice" or "lets fucking go"s that's way too common now. Thanks guys, quality stuff and actually is "mellow"...unlike other channels ;)

    I usually don't comment on RUclips videos but the appreciation and love you guys show for nature and the environment in addition to the absolute insane bouldering and the quality of this video just gave me goose bumps throughout the entire video. Easily one of the best productions I've seen on RUclips. If only all pro athletes could care as much for our planet. Keep up the amazing work and thanks a lot

    Thank you for this love letter to my home country. The quality of production is unbelievable, including the storytelling and the pacing.
    I'd love you to come back in the summer, and try Punkaharju dws in Lake Saimaa. Nalle wrote that Kesäturkki 8c is the best dws route he's climbed. It starts from a sauna raft and is about 16m high/long.
