crap video - his voice is annoying and the climbing looks really ho-hum. What would have made the video good is him trad climbing the obvious line in the middle of the face. Sorry clarky - you usually post better quality.

They are pretty nice eyes ...
I like the bit where he says he just like to turn up at a sport crag and do tons and tons of routes, preferably with the draws already hanging and set to go ... that's my sort of sport climbing, nice to see I'm in good company ...
and note, Damo, he's been road tripping for years and years, and he hasn't lost psych ...
and I also noticed he has a somewhat different approach to sponsorship than CWP
No mate, happy as Larry! Apart from having the message "Colombia is a really safe place to visit and climb" (if you are young and male with dark hair, stay in luxury accomodation, and have a band of locals to guide you everywhere and supply machetes and armed security guards while you boulder) rammed down your throat I went and got the popcorn half way through and really enjoyed it. And unlike the Honnold one I didn't walk away thinking that I am a lesser person unless I go and buy a shiny set of BD draws and some North Face clothing.

Glad to hear it.

There were quite a few things that didn't seem congruous with their message of "It's safe". I found it particularly odd they used the credits as the time to show you them bribing the police... Meant the last thing I was left with wasn't the message they were pushing in the rest of the video.
