What I liked about this video was the sense of place (heightened by the long range shots coupled with the top down perspective) and the chilled Moby track contrasted with the clearly gritty climbing. Unlike most climbing videos I felt like the subject was really giving it her all to the extent that I think I got a pump just watching tufa pinch after tufa pinch! Monique clearly fought her way up it which is how gr32 (or any climbing at your absolute limit) should look IMHO.

It is a video in stark contrast to a lot of bouldering videos kicking around which seem to all incorporate music by Phully S8ck Sk82r band A, Inc and show the climber sending V14 after 1000 tries and making it look effortless. eg the recent repeat of Memory is Parallax.
