    I saw Shawn in a gym in Espoo, close to Helsinki, waved at him and he waved back confused.
    That gave me the confidence to go and fall off of every single v5 in the gym 10/10 experience.

      @@finnkes1240 why compare? From a production pov it's a lot easier to shot boulder videos. No videographer on rope, no different angles from the ground, multiple cameras and people, less logistics. Different climbing, different styles. Every of them enjoyable for free for us. This thing of saying "something if better than something else" in this case drives me nuts.
