jfoxO.K.

Voted 3/5

Not too bad, but it got kinda too melo-dramatic-cheesy-nostalgic for east coast climbing etc. Lot's of bouldering (which I find boring; I just don't associate with that whole scene) and some climbing, but mainly just shows the crux/dyno moves of lot's of 11d - 14b routes. I think they only completed one route in the whole movie. One small chapter on mixed climbing which they should have shown more...that was the best part in the vid.
