Couldn't decide whether this was quality or not, but the tight short shorts and beer towels tilter me towards the quality thread...

...however it doesn't really tell the 'story'. For instance, how did they make the coffee? What was the drive to the crag like? When did they do Jet Set?

Good video that, despite the visual effects. Spain just keeps shitting out new amazing looking rock.

El Cogul is great as a locals crag, but I wouldn't be too hasty in planning a bouldering trip there in its own right. Especially given the quality of the sport climbing it's surrounded by. That vid has (unsurprisingly) cherry picked some of the most aesthetic lines in amongst some more average lowballs.

Good for a few days as a change from the sport stuff or a long weekend flying to Lleida (and there are some great problems) but I'd stick to one of the bigger destinations for a week-long pure bouldering trip.

Having only been there for a couple of days I would concur - nice break from sport climbing for a day or two if you're on a long trip out there but didn't feel like a 'destination' as such.

There's climbing??

I don't mind the pissing around, and quite like the sound track, but ffs keep the actual problem footage CLEAN.

Another vote for a very good video. I wonder if the title is alluding to his second favorite past time? http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tweaking

A bit "overproduced" for me, but still enjoyed it.

Still keen to go there, especially after dense saying how great it is.

What a load of crap. Stupid overproduced artistic balls distracting from the actual climbing. Kicking a traffic cone? Cool as fuck. Is it legal to talk on the phone whilst you drive in the USA?

It reminds me of the effort kids put into making a powerpoint presentation. Everything's whirling in, shooting across the screen and generally detracts from the content. It shows they have the ability to use the software, just need to calm it down a little bit. A re-edit would probably make a great video.

On that topic this is very good...
