    This left me with a feeling that very few bouldering videos do. Bravo.

    Way to showcase the heart and beauty in climbing while also weaving in the interest in hard climbing. Reminds me of why I climb and why most climbing media turns me off. More of this storytelling please!

    I love that the vfilmdidn't focus on the grade of Inner Mounting Flame, and instead chose to relate to the history and the beauty of the climbing. Great job everyone, this is now one of my favorite climbing short films.

    Great movie. How hard is IMF? I know that sort of goes against the spirit of this movie in some way but I'm also so interested in these old schools guys and how they got so strong just climbing.

      Mike never graded it and it’s such a special problem that I felt like it would be inaccurate to grade it on the current grading scales

    • @scottking2962
      @scottking2962 2 года назад

      @@TaylorMcNeill We just need another scale in addition to the vgrade. For example, v11 S10. S representing how special it is out of 10. I am totally joking but my guess on the grade is in fact V11 S10.

      Lol. What i really mean is, the jump start is the single hardest move and I have no idea how you’re supposed to grade something like that
