sick boulder climb you have crazyy power, are the white holds at the bottom not mandatory?

[@BryceRhoades]

You can see the start tag, he just chooses to campus cause of how steep the wall is

[@Epi-crux]

@stonesage1586 Yes, he skipped the feet holds because it was easier to campus for the start. The feet were not mandatory 👍

@BryceRhoades Nice observation. Right on the money!

Nice send. But the montage is bad. You are not shooting a Bourne movie, all the cuts and angles just make it confusing.

[@thevastidity888]

I agree, I mean if you watch any professional outdoor climbing there are about 4 cameras and about 1 or 2 cuts during a full send. None of these angles are very interesting, so there could be some overcompensation through the staggering amount of cuts.

I also agree.. having a supplementary camera angle to show how the hold actually is is helpful, but cutting away means we can't see you do the actual move from a more objective angle, which I think is more important.

Good point! We’ll work on re-uploading this with a small window of the full route view in the bottom left corner of the video for easier reference. Thanks for the feedback!

i think a mix works. the close ups to a really good job of showing how bad holds/angles are, but cutting too many times can make the sequence a little harder to follow
