Using the pace of music to mirror the pace of climbing is something that I think about all the time. It's so damn inspiring to see/hear KTS using music from bands like Russian Circles to dictate the pacing of his videos. It's literally been a dream of mine for a long time to do something similar, but I simply have not built up the video editing skills to do so. It was fucking BADASS to watch Giuliano dispatch that rig just as the breakdown hit in Harper Lewis. This video is like a collision of worlds for me. The marrying of my two biggest passions. Amazing work, Kevin! I seriously can't overstate how much I love your work. Another band that I'd recommend to anyone here who enjoyed this would be the band/man Cloudckicker. He's got some incredible instrumental music.
Agreed! The music and pacing was incredible. Glad to know I was right to assume it was Russian Circles when the intro kicked in lol Climbing to rock/doom/post rock/whatever you want to classify RC as is something that needs to be done more.
this whole vid is insane but the starting couple minutes are truly incredible. the cut from Woods bailing to covid to the slow buildup into the main part of the video is so nostalgic and beautiful; perfectly bittersweet. makes me so psyched and so sad at the same time, lets all crush this pandemic to go crush outside again
Some of the best climbing footage I've seen consistently coming from mellow. Love all the music you all choose for the videos, too. The vids must be demonetised cause of the music, right? How do you all make money off of this? If it's strictly a passion project I commend everyone behind the production of the videos in this channel, they are seriously among my favourite and are super inspiring.
When Giuliani got ANGRY at the climb and then refused to leave until he sent, I felt that
Kevin should make a legit movie, so sick
Dude, the climbing on this channel is so flippin' motivational.
I can't believe this is free. So sick
Kevin Takashi Smith I love you. You, your editing and your pictures
And your mustache

Nice to see i am not the only climber who likes post rock/metal.

@@MateuszCS Yes it was a good music choice even if I prefer a video without any music
Yeah man, I was thinking in cloudkicker too and maybeshewill. Great footage with the music.
Post rock/metal + climbing, doesn’t get much better
8:50. Hands down one of the best clips from a climbing movie ever
That was some A-1 spotting by Jimmy Webb.
Can't wait for the other three parts :D
Post rock on a climbing video, amazing.
Pretty darn right
@@qotsa1234 so so good
That b-roll at 1:46 is one of the most beautiful bits of scenery I've seen in a long time
Switzerland is just a different animal. Was lucky enough to go there once and the whole place felt magical hahaha
Always watch mellow videos before a climbing session to get hyped
Love the song selection.
Toss and turn to the sound of thunder, but I've got watermellow to sooth my slumber...
Top-shelf quality bouldering and Russian circles? Pure gold 👌
Love the music and vibes.
The soundtrack for the first boulder!
YES! Been waiting so long for this! I could watch hours of this footage. So sick
this is just by far best climbing content on youtube

8:55 when he was topping out and they didn't show from the start "oh no."
Giuliano!
I mean, all the mellow boys just blew my mind yet again...
but Giuliano!
more Metal, post, death and all other sub genres please! it fits so so so well.
Yo this was the sickest climbing video I have seen in a while! Great film-making
Fantastic music choice
Oh shiet, 1/4 ?! We're in for a ride
This channel should have millions of subscribers
Great flick, great soundtrack!🤘🤘
Jeepers. This stuff is incredible. Thanks for putting out the content!
Liking the music in this one, suits the hardcore climbing :)
Such crispy footage. Cannot wait for part 2 stoked
Always so stoked to see new videos from you guys. MEGA!
That look @9:05 hurts so much
Sick climbing. That soundtrack tho, what a nice touch!
Best I've ever seen. Evolutional.
Squalo Bianco. What is he actually holding onto? My brain can’t comprehend.
that foot pick on the mantle is my worst nightmare
Guiliano isn't human. He was created in a lab and has newt DNA. His sweat is sticky, that's the only explanation.
John Soukup That would be very useful. Especially on sketchy topouts.
his dear life
Combining a bunch of strong climbers with awesome boulders and quality production, this is the paragon of it should be done.
La musica migliore di sempre. BOMBA
Damn guys, those boulders are looking so sick! And so many first ascents! Will you guys make a topo about Val Bavona?
sounds like there may be a book in the future www.ticinoboulder.ch/ . I think Giuliano's dad creates these guides haha
@@edcunningham5562 Thanks for the link! :D
Love the soundtrack! Very mellow
mellow has the best climbing content on youtube by far lately
Can't wait to see Keenan and Roman crush some boulders they all so damn strong
awesome film!!
I just loveeeee the music choice!
Mellow + Russian Circles. Goosebumps.
nice video and cool spots!
Boulders dont often get me mega psyched, but man that long one Guliano was trying looks fucking mega!
KTS back at it with another fucking BANGER. Dying for the next 3 parts.
How you know Dan is there without seeing him; "Very Good"

As Daniel would say... "very good"
Would love a behind the scenes video where we get more beta talk between the guys.
Nacho Sanchez cameo

Will there be a space cadet low/sit ?
Why there isn't segment of Keenan climbing?

Russian Circles! Oh wow
TOPOPOPOOOO!!!
Anyone know the tune playing for the first boulder?
9:05 so devastating
the music is fuckin’ killer, keep it up!
more metal in climbing videos pls
bruh i member when this was part 1 of 4
Russian circles is a big win
Holly Molly
What was up with Daniel at the start? Was it related to Covid since it was in march?
Yeah, they are talking about how they are choosing to cut their trip short and head back to USA.
Mega Super Dope Real Boulder Shit Out of my Leauge :)
Since when does Daniel smoke🤔
I think Giuliano forgot his sunscreen
Russian Circles and Mellow, Fuck yes!
What is he smoking in the intro?
Yeah, but where are the rest of the motivational pets?
