I love how DWoods got asked what the Crux was and just explained the whole problem😂
I was looking for this comment
the whole problem is the crux 😭
"...so I think that's supposed to be the crux"
3:27
Genuinely think Mellow is going to be the most significant force in shaping the culture of climbing in a long time. The feeling of these videos is just so different to anything else in climbing right now
Unfortunately I think popular competition parkour style boulders is more significant
My favorite mellow video to date. Shoutout to Rene the filming + editing was on point. Also 8B+ flash holy shit.
never thought id see a VX filmed climbing video. i almost expected to see some skate clips lol. sick
Sean Malto, Pretty sweet
Would kill for more videos like this. Climbing films are getting way too flashy and jockey imo, and really are often closer to tiktok gym bro motivation shit. Outdoor climbing was never meant to be a jock sport and i’m happy to see that at least some filmmakers wanna preserve that vibe
Where the VX at tho???!
@@matthewdietrich2846 I knew I remembered that song from an old Girl video
@@crimpingenthusiast yeah, I was agreeing with you at first but @Andy got it right. Let people do what they want! Those two things can coexist.
Pretty inspirational. Not just the climbing (which is nearly always the case with mellow videos) but the cinematography too. The fact that the highest picture quality is 720 and the low res style lends to how far you can go with skill and creativity with any camera and editing software. So cool.
Environmentally friendly data size, saving some CO2 with every stream. Otherwise I circling back to Dosage times …
I don’t understand why Mellow doesn’t have way more subs for releasing such incredible films!
100k is a lot tho for a channel dedicated to such specific sport that's not that popular yet
Maybe if they stop making it look like it's 1993 and try some story telling people would actually watch these. But hey, if you can use your dads old video camera for free i guess its the hipster move to do. strong climbing though
If they posted indoor gym V2s and "tips for beginners, how to climb V4" they'd probably triple their subscribers.
This is not a knock on Mellow or beginner channels; Mellow lovingly services a niche and does it incredibly well with a pastiche of early climbing/skate films and hard sends, which is perfect but extremely specific. Channels catering to the algorithm, and casting a wide net tend to be less specific and, in my opinion, not as entertaining or memorable. Magnus Mitbo has done incredible work as a climber but admits that his outdoor vids get half the views of his Tiktok challenge videos, he has a million subscribers but never would if he posted content like Mellow.
I hope mellow keeps getting their vision out there! 😊
@@mirosteibruchmatteli6708 It’s a counter culture style now, an opposition to the big “block buster esque” style of climbing movies. Similar in vein to skater culture. Sure it’s not everyone’s style but personally I like seeing a new style of climbing movie. Too many climbing videos are too dramatic in story telling. Just my opinions on it though :)
@@ianyoon2277 :) i really appriciated the thoughtful answer. Good level of discouse, thank you.
So fresh and already a classic. This could have been the most futuristic boulder tape, if released in the 90s. It even got the mandatory shot of a random helicopter flying past. Insane that your videos keep getting better and better and better. Piece of art
*piece
Congrats on 100K Mellow! To the moon with a criminally underrated company
More videos from whoever made this one please. Badass filmmaker.
Fav mellow vid in a while! The 90s snowboarder film style needs to come back
Incroyable ce film ! K8A ❤
So on point once again, legendary flash + Lunatic for ending 👌
Just dropped and already a Mellow classic! Love the retro vibes on this one!
This vids shot artistically AND shows actual climbing. Win win here. 👍
one of the best videos yet. so sick.
Rene and Gregoire are the real stars of the video. Sick editing. Crushing climbing too
The creative direction and artistic nature in the editing in this video is magnificent 😙🤌🏼
Much love to D Woods and the Mellow peeps for this gift. Gonna send hard af now, mad inspired!
this was like mainlining the 90s and I loved it
I don’t think this could have been filmed/edited any better! 🤯
Love these bouldering videos that are filmed and edited almost like an old school skateboarding video.
that was the sweetest intro I have seen in a while
Alors là, tomber sur un morceau de Lunatic dans une vidéo de bloc, génial.
Bien joué Mellow !!
Unparalleled climbing and awesome VHS type editing. Loved the video.
This was one of the best edit. So FRESH 🧊
That music choice and edit was just epic! Loving the retro feel! :D
Best climbing video aesthetic I've ever seen. Like those 2000's skateboarding vids we used to make, lotta skate but also lots of foolish stuff. Would love to see this style more often
Superb edit and Mr Woods' beast mode goes up to 11, turns out!! Not that we were really in any doubt!
Wasn't ready for the moves on Foundation edge, what a line ! + Wasn't ready for Lunatic either but what a classic too 🔥
10:55-11:15 is some of the craziest footwork I've seen
Sick filming, Rene, love the look and feel of the video. What an impressive tick list as well.
This is such a mega video! Please keep it coming 🙌🏻 also foundation edge is such a king line, so epic !
I just know there are a lot of people like me who got into this channel only to watch strong climbers bouldering but the video (production) quality is already more than enough to keep me coming back for more
I love this editing style, such a sick video
That spike of rock behind him at 6:45 looks dangerous.
What a good good video.. He walks Foundation Edge. Da best
The style with how this is shot is so sick. Awesome vid and congrats on the 100k !
fuckin great edit,holy shit, this is what its all about! Fuck HD, this is the culture.
i love the intro of mellow and the crazy collage of the same name over and over...the video itself is mind blowing, like sending crazy boulders like it's nothing one after the other 🥵🤯🤯 they are definitely not playing around!!!
That was some o' the most inspirational shit I ever done seen.
Hi Mellow, beautiful video, great job, greetings!!
Love the old school skate style! Great video and some classic dwoods crushing and shenanigans.
sweesh, thats a chunk of a vibe
Awesome stuff. What a beautiful place!
Congrats on 100K! Fantastic video to celebrate it, awesome climbing, edit and music selection, as expected in this channel :).
Love the editing!
I spent 20 minutes trying to find the last song only to discover you added it at the end. Legendary :D
Che bomba sto video !
Fantastic climbing video! Justice on the opening track is perfect.
Just watching this make me psych to go out even in snow! Awesome stuff guys!!!
Best skate vid of 2023
For anyone wondering like I was, New Lands was used in Sean Malto's "Pretty Sweet" video part in 2012. Banger for sure.
Classic for sure!
Dan is my spirit animal.
This Vid is LIT!
instant classic
Bisous du Valais ❤🇨🇭
Healthy looking plants💪
Reminds me of the old school klem loskot vids, thanks for mixing it up so well! 👏
Sick ! Rene's style just elevates it !
Dude this is so beautiful
NICE! Climbing in a skate vid 😎 that`s what we wanna see
so nice to watch! perfect editing
awesome video! insane motivation min 9:00 🔝🔝🔝
I thought I've found some cool boulders back home, but then I see these huge mega lines and I just think... I have to look harder.
Epic
Oh bordel a Lunatic song 🤯Mellow really is the best climbing channel out there 👀
Hell yeah the Lunatic track is so classic
Hell yeah Daniel🔥
fire edit and classic dwoods finger blaster problems
rene done did it
What an edit!
a lotta questions come to mind, i'll only spill two...why does this dope site only have 100k subscribers, it's probably a conspiracy to keep dope down. and, why did this director steal my style, that I haven't expressed yet, and was totally in my minds eye, and now what I make in the climbing video field will seem merely an imitation of this instant forte in climbing video history. nice!!!!!!!!
très génial!
Lil Wednesday afternoon dwoods hitter
Superbe, tu régales.
The intro to this is stupidly aesthetic
TRT is crazy!!
I hope one day Daniel comes back to Chattanooga so I can meet him
JB Gillet, 411VM Rookies
sick
Máquina!
vibes
I mean, i was sicked to a new mellow video... Now I'm just crazy sicked to pull hard! come on

I was thinking like “man this video is pretty heady” and then fuckin Dave Graham comes crawling through the woods 😂
Super steezy, what a vibe... but man, the compression is brutal!
New tats look sick D
Is the Daniel Woods Playing Darts vid going on the OnlyFans or wut?
Ouai ouai Lunatic !
"Bro, do you even lift?" Question answered.
DWoods look like my dad when he was young
