  • The hard core climbing footage and the send captured beautifully by Marco Zanone! Watch Alex climbing, falling, screaming and finally succeeding on the Sleeping Lion, doing the second ascent of this Chris Sharma route in Siurana, Spain.
    No interviews, not much talking, only climbing and beautiful landscape shots.
    This is not our usual vlog style video, but good nonetheless! Positive feedback very much appreciated ;-)
    Thanks to Marco and his brother André Zanone for filming.

      ⁠I know but the moment he sent it it was gaded 9b+ by the only ascentionist.

  • @audetetvincit
    @audetetvincit 5 місяців тому +51

    Loved this style. Only feedback I would give is to give the entirety of the redpoint. Us climbers want to see it from the dirt, not edited, to the chains. For example in the jug / rail after the top crux, when Alex is shaking out with the little kneebar he’s far above and right of the last clipped bolt. Not a great rest position and it would have been cool to see the sequence from there including the clip and traverse, rather than cut it out. Same for the opening section under the full no hands ledge. Feedback only meant to be constructive. Loved it, so thank you 🙏

    • @themeatpopsicle
      @themeatpopsicle 5 місяців тому +8

      I think there's plenty of room for great edits like this _and_ "uncut" video releases. I like it when the camera work, coloring, and sound come together to stir emotions in me. I also take perverse pleasure in watching someone sit in a comfy kneebar for two whole minutes resting.

    • @masterpropper2485
      @masterpropper2485 5 місяців тому +4

      Of course there has to be this comment ...
      "Us climbers" want to watch a video that gets us psyched. This video gets me fu**in psyched! If this video doesn't get you psyched, there's something wrong with you ;)
      Thank god not all climbing flicks are "raw send" clips.
      A good edit is a good edit. And this is a good edit.
      (Agree with the cut-out part after the kneebar rest, though. Would've liked to see it, but I guess they had their reasons to cut it out? Probably pulled on a quickdraw ... )

But more than anything huge congratulations to Chris Sharma for finding, imagining and bolting that line on one of the most iconic walls of one of the most iconic crags in the world. So happy to see that the Lion is awake and the cubs are crushing and hungry. Alex, when will you come to Mallorca and try some DWS? All the best for you.
