This should be the standard of climbing films. This shows that you don't need the hardest of the hardest boulders to make a sick film. Good lines, good movement, and dope film making is gonna do it.
1 comment for so many times I've seen this masterpiece of hypnotic creative beautifully dark mix of visuals, sounds, emotions and superb uncorrupted climbing wasn't enough for my consciousness, hence writing this one too. Michael and all Tension crew deserves a M views and comms; you got into a new level! ❤🔥
There is something to be said for not just what you climb but how you climb it. Every problem in this film is executed with perfect style. Fluid and smooth with no desperate thrutching and readjusting. Its like the climbers must have done laps on each problem to get the smoothest take. So awesome and masterful.
a standing ovation for this incredible footage! Congratulations, I enjoyed it very much! Finally a climbing video different from the usual and more usual performance video. Fresh, which brings with it a concept, a depth. You have made me want to climb these incredible rocks...
this is the third time i’ve watched this - the gold standard for climbing videos to come. favorite climb is definitely law dog - since it’s probably the most anti-style for me. watching mike cruise it was super inspiring. thank you tension for keeping my psych alive
I feel as if the mantel on Stingray encapsulates HP-40 quite well in it's weird/idiosyncratic specificity and funktech. That said, the edit on Skywalker and the clear view straight through the backside of Merlin has gotta be my favorite part. The mood shift in the music as Rosay does God Module was also epic... such a legendary climb. Loved the industrial noir vibe of this film through and through. The Tension crew just doesn't miss.
For me either slider or Five - 0 really stuck out as my favorite boulders from the film because well they are both V9/7c which is my redpoint grade and both just look like amazing climbs to get on with such cool sequences. Five - 0 is like so my style with the sloper bumping and the heel hook and compression, makes me want to get out there with my friends and give some goes, so cool. Such a sick film, absolutely love it, gets me so stoked to go try my project in yosemite this weekend. Love it. The camera shots on Merlin are probably my favorite filming of the film because it's just so beautiful with the clear shot through and just yeah. Also the soundtrack is so fitting, it's edited and made and produced so well. Really good job on just everything with this and the climbing is all so good and so strong, gets me so psyched seeing stuff like this.
Spent some formative years taking trips to climb at HP40. This was really fun to watch and stirred up lots of memories. I remember trying Mortal Kombat with one thin crashpad and my girlfriend (now wife and mother of our child!!) spotting, hoping not to take the plunge into the pit. Wow, can't wait to return someday, what a special place. Thanks for the rad video.
After about a minute in to it, I stopped and put it on my TV instead. What an amazing film about one of the best boulder fields on the planet. The odd little chunks of Tool in the soundtrack fit the feel perfectly as well. Bravo!
Whoa the video quality is insaaaane. It feels like the aesthetic quality of even some of the more accessible climbs are really being done justice. Skywalker looked particularly sick imho
When I started climbing, Skywalker was one of the first boulders I had ever heard of. Was happy to get completely humbled on it last year. And now because of this film I'm psyched to go back and try it again. Definitely my favorite from this film.
Speechless. Flawless video victory. God Module was my favorite boulder; beautiful line with Michael’s superb ascent aaaaaand one of the top industrial harsh bands! Hail Tension 🔥🤘🏼
I love getting to see my home state being represented in this amazing production! This was an amazing film and the edit and soundtrack are insane! I definitely would say my favorite boulder at hp40 is MatchMaker!
You gave us a tough task to pick our favourite boulder problem, everything from easy to difficult is just so good. I'd say Skywalker is my favourite, that gaston move say it all for me. Well done to the crew, this video is SICK. Thanks for reminding us to let go of our ego balloon, sometimes.
Stingray has to be my favorite climb of the video, love a slopey top out! This video has SERIOUSLY encouraged me to get out to HP 40, I live in the south and have never gone just cause I'm cheap.
Ghetto superstar is one of the most inspiring boulder I've seen. Makes me want to book a trip to horse pen 40 next summer. Personnal favorite from this video. I've already heard of HP 40 before but this video truly makes me want to go there asap
Love this film because this was where I first started bouldering outside because I live in FL. The rock is so inspiring. God Module has to be my favorite boulder. I gave me my goal to climb v11 one day.
The fact that this is HP40 is auspicious! I loved this perspective of Honky Tonkin' and props for representing women, and on boulder problems that I can see myself on (so great to see a pro film feature the quality boulders that aren't just above V9s). Thanks for doing the contest. 🤞
This is definitely the most unique bouldering film ever and probably my new favorite. It's a work of art, bravo Michael! And also nice that I'm now being able to connect the dots after haring about horse pens a few times and sometimes seeing Boulders that kind of looked font-esque in the US.
My first and only day at HP40 was last spring. What a humbling experience. I can't wait to get back. Merlin has to be my favorite. What an unreal feature.
Slider is a life lister for me. IMO, the most aesthetic climb in the boulderfield. As someone who started climbing in Florida and ventured to HP40 as one of the closest places to climb, I was always humbled, but always had a blast there. Cannot wait to get back there hopefully sooner rather than later.
Super sick video. I really liked the fa of sting ray would really love to get out there and try them all lol but that one definitely caught my attention!
This film was incredibly edited. It displayed great climbing at a fantastic crag. Five-0 looks like an incredible line, definitely my favourite from the film and one I need to get down to Alabama to try!
This should be the standard of climbing films. This shows that you don't need the hardest of the hardest boulders to make a sick film. Good lines, good movement, and dope film making is gonna do it.
Amen
I have watched this like 25 times now
God module taught me that crimps can be slopers too. My personal favorite boulder.

the most stylish climbing movie I've ever seen
So sick getting to see climbs I’ve done in a climbing film! Hp40 is a gem to be cherished forever.
Going to drive 1000+ miles to come try some boulder. Not a lot of boulders in East Canada and too much snow right now 🤷♂️
@@marc-olafontaine1575 It’s 100 percent worth it. You’ll never want to go back
The editing on this is outstanding
Cinematography and sound design are unmatched. God Module looks so damn cool.
I rewatch this like 4 times a week now
fav boulder would be , Slider !
Favorite boulder has to be skywalker cause it’s in my top 10 all time dream list. Maybe the coolest feature in the south or at least top 5.
a standing ovation for this incredible footage! Congratulations, I enjoyed it very much! Finally a climbing video different from the usual and more usual performance video. Fresh, which brings with it a concept, a depth. You have made me want to climb these incredible rocks...
Matchmaker because it’s freaking WILD to me. Heinous but I’m in awe!
Groove Rider. Getting on that with my best friend is still one of my most special memories.
Trick or Treat has such cool features. Definitely my favorite.
Matchmaker is a stand out being very my style, and super cool being a Jimmy Webb FA. Great film all around
I agree and I think that one has very few repeats. Was psyched to see that one in the film!
only been to hp40 for a day once but mulletino looks like such a gorgeous line def my favorite
Gotta be skywalker or landslide, two of my all time dream lines
Matchmaker is beyond sick, love a span start
Stingray has got to be my favorite, great film too!
my favorite climbing location ever. absolutely beautiful location and amazing climbing. shoutout the schultz family!
EPIC film, Mike. Captures the eerie vibes of HP40 perfectly. Great climb selection also! Killed itttttt

MIKE YOU ARE ON ONE LETS GOOO
Sick film with so many good looking boulders. Skywalker though, that is the top of the list for me.
Great film, appreciate a different vibe for a change. Landslide looks like UK Grit
Matchmaker looks so sick, especially the drop down move into the crimp
Love the trippy music/vibe of this edit
One of the best climbing films I've ever seen!
Spent some formative years taking trips to climb at HP40. This was really fun to watch and stirred up lots of memories.

God Module is an absolute life lister. Perhaps the best bouldering film I've watched this year, or ever.
PHENOMENAL climbing film. beautiful beautiful work.
Whoa the video quality is insaaaane. It feels like the aesthetic quality of even some of the more accessible climbs are really being done justice. Skywalker looked particularly sick imho
wonderful showcase of a beautiful area
favorite boulder has to be five-0, what a dope feature!
Top notch everyone. Top freaking notch!!!
When I started climbing, Skywalker was one of the first boulders I had ever heard of. Was happy to get completely humbled on it last year. And now because of this film I'm psyched to go back and try it again. Definitely my favorite from this film.
Genetic, hope that counts since you can see the top out @19:10
This film was so good. I've never climbed in the south but it felt like I was there the entire time watching. Amazing work Michael and Tension crew!
Drew you gotta climb at hp40, best bouldering place hands down.
Remember when climbing videos had soundtracks? This soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥. I'll be spinning up a playlist for sure.
Great white looks so rad. What cool unique movements.
Hot N' Tot definitely my favorite short but intense beautiful video by the way
Trippiest climbing video i've seen, god module seems like a good climb for your ego to die on
Great video! Matchmaker looks so sick, definitely my favorite in the vid
That was a great watch!! I'd have to say my favorite boulder was ghetto superstar.
Skywalker is insane. This film is too! Every aspect of it is perfect!
God Module looks so rad, would love to get shut down by that beast
Speechless. Flawless video victory. God Module was my favorite boulder; beautiful line with Michael’s superb ascent aaaaaand one of the top industrial harsh bands! Hail Tension 🔥🤘🏼
Classic god module has gotta be the star of the video!
I love getting to see my home state being represented in this amazing production! This was an amazing film and the edit and soundtrack are insane! I definitely would say my favorite boulder at hp40 is MatchMaker!
Bumboy was my favorite boulder. What a sick one!
Very nice film. always a fan of the unique pivot movement on Step Child
Best climbing edit I’ve ever seen
Illusions look really sick.
Would love that hangboard
Well this is incredible!
You gave us a tough task to pick our favourite boulder problem, everything from easy to difficult is just so good. I'd say Skywalker is my favourite, that gaston move say it all for me. Well done to the crew, this video is SICK. Thanks for reminding us to let go of our ego balloon, sometimes.
Stingray has to be my favorite climb of the video, love a slopey top out! This video has SERIOUSLY encouraged me to get out to HP 40, I live in the south and have never gone just cause I'm cheap.
Now we know what it would look like if the creators of Dark from Netflix made a bouldering film. Huge props Michael and crew!
Stingray is definitely my favorite boulder!
Ghetto superstar is one of the most inspiring boulder I've seen. Makes me want to book a trip to horse pen 40 next summer. Personnal favorite from this video. I've already heard of HP 40 before but this video truly makes me want to go there asap
Ghetto Superstar is an all time classic. This film really pushes the level of climbing videos. Great work!
Bum Boy is my fav, I've seen so many send variations of this boulder over the years. I like that it goes for so many types of ppl.
Love this film because this was where I first started bouldering outside because I live in FL. The rock is so inspiring. God Module has to be my favorite boulder. I gave me my goal to climb v11 one day.
"Slider" is a striking line. Looks like some incredibly satisfying movement.
Wow! What an amazing edit! Seemed like I was watching a music video. Bravo!
Skywalker looks so sick. What a great video.
Ghetto superstar is my favorite looking boulder. The moves look flowy and the holds look so nice
think id have to go with Slider! Can't think of much more i'd want in a boulder
hot n’ tot stands out. great boulder and even better camerawork
Love the variety of grades showcased, Mulletino was my fav
The fact that this is HP40 is auspicious! I loved this perspective of Honky Tonkin' and props for representing women, and on boulder problems that I can see myself on (so great to see a pro film feature the quality boulders that aren't just above V9s). Thanks for doing the contest. 🤞
Best climbing video I’ve seen. Hp40 is the first place I ever climbed. Stoked to see it here ‼️‼️
Best bouldering vid in a long time. Winter stoke vibes. Mad Props.
Great White, what a line
This is definitely the most unique bouldering film ever and probably my new favorite. It's a work of art, bravo Michael!
And also nice that I'm now being able to connect the dots after haring about horse pens a few times and sometimes seeing Boulders that kind of looked font-esque in the US.
Great White was my favorite, what a feature!
Skywalker's wave-like shapes is kind of crazy! A tremendous film: psyched to get outside asap!
My first and only day at HP40 was last spring. What a humbling experience. I can't wait to get back.
Merlin has to be my favorite. What an unreal feature.
Wow looks amaaaazing🤩
Slider is a life lister for me. IMO, the most aesthetic climb in the boulderfield. As someone who started climbing in Florida and ventured to HP40 as one of the closest places to climb, I was always humbled, but always had a blast there. Cannot wait to get back there hopefully sooner rather than later.
God Module 🔥 Epic film! Thank you for sharing this with us
Bum Boy definitely stood out!! Such beautiful and unique shapes. Would get anyone inspired. 🔥
My favorite boulder is definitely Bum Boy, can't beat those shapes
Great video, and amazing coverage of so many classics. Stepchild remains one of my all-time favorite climbs in the south for movement.
Very cool and sick and also cool. Slider wins for my fav
All the boulders are beautiful but somehow I love the Mortal Kombat most. Arete climbing is just so fun.
Skywalker was soooo sick! and the general boulder formation surround it... wow
so dope!! the editing was so engaging, well done. fav boulders were stingray and skywalker!
Slider's my fave, and that guy walked it like a warm-up. Great film!
Top climbing film. I always loved slider. This was my first year trying the boulder and it's a real southern test piece.
Never seen a V3 give so many strong climbers a run for their money! Gotta love those southern slopers ❤
Super sick video. I really liked the fa of sting ray would really love to get out there and try them all lol but that one definitely caught my attention!
Watched this while baked. Was not disappointed. So good.
This film was incredibly edited. It displayed great climbing at a fantastic crag. Five-0 looks like an incredible line, definitely my favourite from the film and one I need to get down to Alabama to try!
So many wild blocks, Ghetto Superstar would be my favorite if I had to pick one. Sick features!
Skywalker is mesmerizing. Definitely adding it to my hit list.
Mortal Kombat is my favorite, such a beautiful line worthy of being the cover on a coffee table book or a mantle piece picture.
