It was a good film but they didn't go into much detail about the route. However, I think it was pitched to a more general audience. Maybe I missed it but was Neil Carson mentioned once in the film?

Yeah was it a festival cut or something? Proper short.

Would have been good to see the uncut ascent even if it was shit phone footage from below. Only showed the last few moves of the ascent.

Bit underwhelmed. Seemed like too much good stuff was probably cut in the edit, and then not really any build up to the actual ascent.

And no training montage.

I've seen the full footage of the tick (courtesy of a lunch break at Oliana) and it is quite shit. Impressed they managed to make it look that good! What was on the film was definitely the best bit.

More generally I thought it was good but probably a bit short, and not much of a storyline. Interesting they aimed it at a wider audience.

Fair enough. He should have lent Emma a decent camera and a tripod . Pretty important when you’ve put that much effort into the film.

Agreed, a bit more history would have been nice. Didn't Neil Carson move to Wales to complete the route. Is he still around? Would have been good to see some insights from the first ascentionist.

He moved to France. Might be back in the UK now or I might have imagined that.

Yeah bit underwhelmed tbh, not by the footage, I knew he wasn't there on the day but they did a decent job despite that. It just seemed pretty dumbed down which is odd. Why gresh? What's he got to do with anything? Mclure was OK but I'd have liked to have heard more about the redpoint process from him. Would have been good if he'd spoken to Carson, or at least had more about the route and its place in British sport climbing.
Lpt looked lovely in the wide shots and those routes look fantastic compared to the Peak lime that gets so much attention.

I enjoyed all the footage, especially that of The Big Issue, maybe they could have sped up the footage of the actual send? Might have been nice to have seen it all from one perspective but guess you can get that from Doylo’s vid of Caff, though would have been nice to see Emma’s way of climbing it.

Agree re Gresh, not to take anything away from him but he just seems so irrelevant - he’s not climbed 9a and, as far as I know hasn’t tried Big Bang. Maybe he went up it BITD? Caff would have been a better person to interview in more depth surely?

Like others have said I’d be interested to see what has been cut out.

Was that a one off or is it available to view elsewhere?

Trying to reserve judgement but your comments so far are in line with expectations, the only surprising thing is that it won the Palme d'or at kendal.

Anyone know if that was a different cut?

Doesn't look like it's available on the bmc facebook page any more. I guess it'll be released in full at a later date.

I believe it will be available on Vimeo on demand in a week or so. David petts mentions when at the start of this screening.

I watched it via the Facebook Live app on Amazon Firestick late on Friday night, might still be there if you are lucky..

Yep, I didn't notice a single mention, surely not that hard to track him down. If I was him I'd be a bit mffed.

I am not sure why they used so much of Gresham but I guess it is because he has climbed hard himself (up to 8c+ I think) and therefore knows about the process of hard redpointing and is a well-known coach. As the film seemed to be pitched at a more general audience they probably wanted to use more familiar, well-known faces.

They may have tried to do that, I don't know, but I thought they would have at least mentioned his name as the first ascentionist (they may have done that but maybe I missed it while pouring wine or something).

It was a good short though overall and as others have mentioned the shots of LPT were really nice and the footage of Big Issue was good. My girlfriend really enjoyed it and found it inspiring to see a full film featuring a women (she hadn't previously heard of) climbing 9a. Therefore, although I just thought it was just "ok" as a film maybe I am the wrong audience.
