C'mon you curmudgeonly old so and so's.. they're usually 2-3 min long - and 95% of the time the problem is done - the 'send' is done at the last part of the video - and usually is the one that starts at the beginning of the problem again...

Whaddaya expect?

[dave]

Yeah but it's done in load of "professional" longer videos too.

Not this instead?

I know, I know. But it's a REALLY EASY THING TO DO! And it makes it better...

Although you do expect the send footage to arrive eventually, it is still nice to be teased a little and have some doubt. They could throw in a few curve balls, and show the full climb, with you expecting them to do it, only to find they punter off at the top.

Maybe it's better because it's more relatable to actually climbing. When you're at a stage when you know you can do something and the send is (practically) imminent, but is this attempt the one?? 

[duncan]

Enjoyed the video. I presume this is a sandstone boulder that has tumbled through ninety degrees, the vertical orientation of the strata makes for an cool-looking problem.

I wonder if Dai chopped down the several trees (fresh stumps clearly visible) to make the problem possible?

[cowboyhat]

I agree about the suspense thing, I really thought he was going to do it on that earlier go and was routing for him, then he dropped it. Then it announces when he does it, totally takes all the tension out of the film.

Its the new driving to the crag.

[slackline]

flash the name of the problem onscreen just as the guy (or gal) pull his (or her) arse off the ground on the successful ascent

Albeit with out the tension build-up, but then there probably wasn't any given the pedigree of the climber who once burnt Alex Megos off The Joker.

What?

[slackline]

What?

just to completely shatter any sense of tension or uncertainty which has been built up.

[dave]

In what way is putting the name of a problem up at the start of the footage of said problem shattering any sense of tension?

Maybe I'm being stupid in stating what I consider to be obvious but I'll explain myself.....

Its an attempt, and one that has clearly failed, at a light-hearted joke (clown emoticon in play) as in that video you flashed up the name of the problem just before you did them, something you have agreed with others that you don't like when this is preceded by a number of failed attempts.  I made it clear that this is not valid comparison though since you do not precede the ascents with any failed attempts so no tension could be built up, thats where the "Albeit with out the tension build up" comes into play.

I was hoping he was suggesting that Dave could do with a few Core sessions. Might help you keep your feet on

Yeah Dave. Work that core. You've gone all lazy since showing Megos up...

[steveri]

Not only is that a beautiful video, but I also get a bit of ASMR from the sounds:

Oh thanks, never heard of that, or at least known it has a name. Off topic, but try this:

Might not have the production values of some quality vids but the problems look great and I liked the soundtrack...

[r-man]

[fatneck]

Quality! Footage of Tenzing was top drawer!!

[sxrxg]

Cannot wait for the full length of this... The trailer seems to capture bouldering better than most footage. The banter, the friendship, the frustration and the fun.

Woah, yeah. Really nice to have a tribute to Andy's climbing, his legacy in The County is incredible.

That's appalling if it's trying to be a some of representation of history. Clip on braces, desert boots and some bird in her dad's suit jacket.

[george sewell]

Which is why we called it a whimsical reimagining, not a re creation or Documentary, apart from anything scratching up the lines with hobnailes would've been pretty un ethical , so the desert boots were the closest thing to achieve a look,  ... so I'm sorry our comedy / jovial re imagining isn't historically accurate enough for you ... I am aware of its historical lacking haha
More historically interesting is this :

Webbo, I'm amazed you of all people didn't spot the most blatant anachronism. Spotting was only invented in 1990.

Nicely done film.
