Hey,
One of the best things that can happen to a person is to be able to make a living doing what the love. He’s not the first. Many people on this forum have done fairly well from this sport. More power to them.

Nice work Larry. Mr E. and I worked on a commercial shoot at Smith a long time ago. That was fun.

Man,
That Arri setup makes me drool a bit. I got to use an SR3 in school back in the day unsupervised (shoot for PBS I got to help on wrapped a day early and the DP (my prof) let me use it before bring it back to the rental house). It was like someone threw me the keys to a Ferrari and said "have it back in the morning with a full tank of gas."
That was a long time ago....
Film shoots operate in a world outside the "norm". If most people knew what went into making ANY professional level commercial (let alone a feature film) they'd have an appreciation for even the worst B-Comedy at the theater.
Looks like a fun time. Good for Alex, Katie and all the behind the scenes climbers for making their passion pay some bills!

When I climbed Ancient Art several years ago, the capstone was loose. But I don't remember it tilted at a 45 degree angle as in the end of the commercial. Is the camera angle causing an illusion?

Of all the credit cards in my wallet (and I do have a few), my Citicard is the one I trust the most. In my experience with credit companies, Chase is the real evil one, I have always distrusted them. And look at them now, they own f*#king everything!

Correction Larry;
The bolted on holds were left from Treasure Of The Gods.
Remember Nancy Feagin taking the whipper?
MI 2 was shot on several different "lines", some on the west side but others where you can see the potash ponds.
But there actually is a real climbing route on Deadhorse which has been declared off limits because (get THIS rationale) they worry people trying to watch climbers below will fall.
ARGH!!!!!!!

Ron, I am not sure what Nancy Feagan Movie you are talking about.
I just rewatched the Tom Cruise clip. Yeah He's all over the place on that wall. Did you work on that? There were a lot of bolted on holds and a lot of empty holes.
There is also a sick looking finger crack about a pitch down. I'm might be able to get permission to go down and clean the holds off. Maybe take a detour and check that crack out.

I don't remember us bolting on any holds there.
I don't recall even having any artificial holds period.
This is Bullsh!t .....

The ranger said they were from MI. I guess she was wrong, but they're there.

Alex is an amazingly Zen climber and any one of us should be lucky enough to attract national sponsors. What an awesome privelege to find supporters who make it possible for those truly gifted to use this precious short time on earth to excel at at something we all love and are passionate about. I am amazed by Alex and those before him and those who will follow in his enormous footsteps. I hope to shake his hand up in Yosemite some day soon, Good luck and Gospeed as well as congratulations Alex, you are such an inspiration! And to the other women climbers, bless you!! Climbing is my breath, food, leisure, work and rest. Long live ropes and rocks!!!

The ad has been running again a lot lately after a long hiatus - more power to Alex and Kaite getting some nice residuals.
Meanwhile the OP, MTucker/Acer et al, appears to have permanently crawled back into his hole.

Does that commercial make anyone else want to run down to the REI and put a whole rack of BD cams a harness and some 5.10 shoes on your citibank card? No thanks.
