  • Introducing 'Proof of Concept', a new film about Outdoor Research Ambassador and pro climber, Sean Bailey. Up against the toughest route he'd ever attempted, Sean pushed himself to new limits and completes the third ascent of Bibliographie, 5.15c. This film dives into Sean's career as a pro climber, and how he uses both success and failure to fuel his climbing and push himself to new limits.
    Film by Ben Neilson

    Sean Bailey is so underrated by many, but he's one of my favourites climbers and a truly inspiration. I'm very glad that this short documentary came, because Sean really deserves it. Thank you guys and thank you very much Sean that you took us on this journey with you.

    Fantastic! On another level... best footage of bibliography so far. Shows how next level these routes are if it took him a couple sessions for v16 and then 25 days for bibliography... even trying Sharma Rastaman vibrations project at the end.

    Sean is my favorite guy in the game. It's so refreshing to see someone roll up to comps in Carhart's and long hair. It makes me stay in love with sport, knowing that my people can still rule the front lines. Can't wait to see what you do in the coming years, bud.

    Amazing. Such insight into process and exceptional contributions. Love Nate Coleman’s take on the modern comp circuit requirement, and what it takes to win a gold medal.
    It feels as though there are so many climbers that unfairly missed out on Tokyo - a flawed system with 3 disciplines. We will no doubt see him in Paris ‘24 💪

    Put "initially proposed 9c/5.15d by Alex Megos but graded 9b+ by Stephano Ghisolfi" in the description, and put "(Bibliography 9b+/5.15c)" in the title and you'll get another 100k views in a couple months. The higher grades are better for SEO and Stefano is making noise with Silence right now so that will help. On my other UA-cam channel i did a total troll video with V17 in the title and i got 76k views with double digit subscribers.

  • @RFrecka
    @RFrecka 2 роки тому +5

    I'll start by saying that this film is an incredible record of Sean's immense talent and work ethic. But I have to disagree in the narration's point that we should potentially be idolizing self-hatred (6:40). That individual decision marred for me what could have been one of the most inspiring films in climbing, and it really was a shame to hear.
    Surely some people will see it differently, but I think it's worth considering by the filmmakers.

  • @anonymity2882

    What do you mean "Why am I doing this?" Because it's fun, simple as that. Some of the things climbers say are soo cringey.

    Absolute masterpiece. At no point did this feel slow or off beat which I don't think I can say about literally any other climbing film. Also that ending clip foreshadowing on rastaman... HOLY FUK. My mind is totally blown, thank you Ben Neilson for creating this and I hope to create something half as inspiring as this one day!!

He truly has the most balanced flow and style on the wall of anyone I've ever seen.
