    I kept thinking "what a nice looking pla... wait I live here dammit!" 😄. It's sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees, certainly made me psyched for the spring season. Top quality 👌.

    This was exquisite. Filming, edit and music choice. Aidan and Jim created some precious memories there. They transferred their enthusiasm right through the screen. Foraging, taking photos, cooking and some impressive climbing. Can't wait for the next episode.

    Im normally bored with bouldering videos after 3 minutes, but I thoroughly enjoyed this to the point of thinking os probably the best I've watched to date. The production, music, script... It's sll so class.
    None of that "yeah bro! Sick dude! Fucking send, yeah!" kind of abnoxious nonesense

  • @lucascheid2372
    @lucascheid2372 Рік тому +1

    Too often climbing content focuses entirely on the hardest climbs and purely the process of projecting and the try-hard but for me climbing is about beauty - the beauty of the rock, the location, the friends you're with... Obviously just focusing on Aidan on Burden would have been the way to get the most views but thanks for showing off all aspects of this place and the trip. More of this!

    • @WEDGECLIMBING
      @WEDGECLIMBING  Рік тому +1

    The video quality, the dynamic of the two and the soundtrack are breathtaking! Sometimes I really have the feeling that pro climbing videos display a whole lot of suffering/self deprecation and anger - which is in the heat of the moment very understandable. But seeing more gentle people moving up the climbs is such a nice change of pace

    it's reaaaalllly satisfying to finally watch climbing vids that aren't trashed by gansta rap or hip hop crapping all over it, along with all the obligatory tourette's-level "c'mawnnn"s, "niiiice" or "lets fucking go"s that's way too common now. Thanks guys, quality stuff and actually is "mellow"...unlike other channels ;)
