Okay.. I’ve got to say it… and its not just because I was at frog at the time (one of the few non Tasmanians it would seem - we walked under brown corduroy trousers when this guy (merry) was having a (earlier?) shot and you were belaying him, also saw him cruise impulse while you were taking sunset pics from above (followed by a redhead with a lovely smile pink pointing it, how did those shots turn out?!)) but that video is a ripper. Love the way, zooming in from above, it captures both the physical and emotional effort the climber is putting in when (well) above his gear fighting to gain and stay attached to the tenuous foot and hand holds (positively vibrating from the effort in fact – all been there, even if at half the grade) and the facial expressions in those last few seconds..and love the editing too especially how you went to slow mo and Elvis for the fall. Already watched it repeated times (hard to focus on all elements at the same time) - more than any other climbing vid where one look is usually more than enough - and still find those last few metres totally absorbing.. Also the film quality loses nothing on full screen (if big brother is monitoring my computer at work today all they will see are repeats of this vid) Thanks JF!
