    Thanking the camera man first after sending 9b+ is truly next level

      According to Megos, it’s a 9b ;)

      ⁠I know but the moment he sent it it was gaded 9b+ by the only ascentionist.
      Anyways, it’s amazing no matter the grade :)

  • @ripgnar4352

    That was the most epic climbing video i have ever seen. It brought tears to my eyes for some reason. The passion, the scream when you fell, the send, then thanking the filmer. Bro you are so humble, and strong as heck!! Very inspiring!

  • @audetetvincit
    @audetetvincit 11 месяцев назад +69

    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 11 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 11 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.

Also congratulations to the camera guys, they did something amazing and real in such a short time. 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.
