  • @audetetvincit
    @audetetvincit 10 месяцев назад +63

    Loved this style. Only feedback I would give is to give the entirety of the redpoint. Us climbers want to see it from the dirt, not edited, to the chains. For example in the jug / rail after the top crux, when Alex is shaking out with the little kneebar he’s far above and right of the last clipped bolt. Not a great rest position and it would have been cool to see the sequence from there including the clip and traverse, rather than cut it out. Same for the opening section under the full no hands ledge. Feedback only meant to be constructive. Loved it, so thank you 🙏

    • @themeatpopsicle
      @themeatpopsicle 10 месяцев назад +9

      I think there's plenty of room for great edits like this _and_ "uncut" video releases. I like it when the camera work, coloring, and sound come together to stir emotions in me. I also take perverse pleasure in watching someone sit in a comfy kneebar for two whole minutes resting.

    • @masterpropper2485
      @masterpropper2485 10 месяцев назад +5

      Of course there has to be this comment ...
      "Us climbers" want to watch a video that gets us psyched. This video gets me fu**in psyched! If this video doesn't get you psyched, there's something wrong with you ;)
      Thank god not all climbing flicks are "raw send" clips.
      A good edit is a good edit. And this is a good edit.
      (Agree with the cut-out part after the kneebar rest, though. Would've liked to see it, but I guess they had their reasons to cut it out? Probably pulled on a quickdraw ... )

    Hey man, congrats. People may wonder just what climbing gives to others and see it as something fundamentally self-centered. It may even be, but I can say that your success here and sharing it lifted my spirit today. People “doing the impossible” is a contradiction; the joy comes from seeing someone do something very, very hard and help to change the dimensions of what is impossible. It is a joy to share parts of your journey.

      “One man’s pain is the next man’s pleasure.” - I actually love that about climbing videos/community. It always puts a smile on my face to hear the bystanders supporting the climber. They could mind their own business and do something else but instead they choose to take the time to watch and encourage Alex. That’s amazing in my eyes.

But more than anything huge congratulations to Chris Sharma for finding, imagining and bolting that line on one of the most iconic walls of one of the most iconic crags in the world. So happy to see that the Lion is awake and the cubs are crushing and hungry. Alex, when will you come to Mallorca and try some DWS? All the best for you.

    Fascinating to hear people cheering on so loud and consistent. I was a pro athlete in a sport that is way less complex mentally than climbing. There is no way this constant "allez" screaming would help me at all. In fact, it would take the crucial chunk of my concentration to perform anywhere near my limits. Half the route Alex' only goal is to stay calm and these people scream at him like they have to stop the car to pee right now. In my opinion these people increase the challenge and not helping it.
