Huh? So, when I first checked it out, I was convinced it was a joke of some sort. A climbing film parody... I mean, come on... Posing Productions? Then I re-read your post, which seems pretty sincere.
Maybe they need a new trailer, cause I left thinking i missed somethin'.... I left feeling I was watching a production of posers, alright. So, the guy is getting pro all over the place (is that even anywhere near Stanage or any of the grit areas???) it's not anywhere near as hard as some of the things in Hard Grit (the guy actually has a handjam at one point)... Yeah, I know there's a mono - while standning on a huge foothold, and it's barely vertical. And then he takes this wank-ass, 6' fall. Big whoop. hahaha
What's the deal?

Waay cool.
Yeah, we used to believe in On Sight leads here once upon a time too. Sometimes I think we're evolving the wrong way.
I liked the dude on Strawberry. "It's just way harder, more adventure like,..isn't it?"

Or, you can come see it at the Reel Rock Tour on a big screen.
Show in Santa Cruz this coming thursday, 10/23/08. Call Pacific Edge for tickets (or go to the website for an online link).
Sorry, shameless plug... I know...
But why spend 30 on a DVD when you can see it for 10 (and a whole bunch of other cool flicks as well).

Just bad cinematography I guess, Mick. The film makes it look pretty tame, really. Sounds like a cool, wicked hard route when you read about the failures on it!

Thanks Mick. Bloody good time! Looks like a "challenging day out." (to steal a Joe Simpsonism) Looking forward to seeing it.
