Post by: Moo on September 20, 2014, 08:57:32 pm: surprisingly good, blocs look hard and quite involved but no one looks like they are firing on full cylinders except maybe McCol

Post by: Duma on September 20, 2014, 09:07:33 pm: It's ok, think the format is a bit flawed I think as there's so much pressure to eliminate climbers on each prob so they can easily end up being too hard. mina on the dyno, then not wanting to jump down, akiyo mantelling, sean on m2 almost celebrating too early are all good moments so far.

Post by: kelvin on September 20, 2014, 10:01:24 pm: Crappiest ending ever, I hate speed climbing which is what it essentially came down to.
Title: Re: 'Das rockstar
Post by: Duma on September 20, 2014, 11:07:20 pm: The format really is fucked, the problems have to be exactly the right level to make it work, but they're likely to end up too hard initially then too easy for the last one. And the music was appalling.

Post by: a dense loner on September 27, 2015, 12:47:50 pm: Surprised this hasn't been mentioned. Just watched this on replay, well the first two problems up to yet, not heard any shit music and it's by far the best camera work I've seen for a comp. Coupled with good commentary from cwp. To me one commentator who knows his stuff is the best way to go.

Post by: dontfollowme on September 27, 2015, 03:31:28 pm: Really good having CWP commentating as he knows the likely sequences.
