    The quality of these videos blows me away. The nine frames of Shawn climbing the boulder and slowly one, by one, the frames turning black with each failed attempt, was sick! The editing style, the music, the creativity, the storytelling... everything Mellow produces always leaves me inspired and psyched, both for climbing, and creatively.

    Best quotes:
    "Fully iso it, just left foot only, go to this, and then you can plug a knee scum, and then I can bump to the high one, and then adjust, and then a bump to the tick" - a classic spraydown by Jimmy W
    "Just wham, right on the crashpad ... pretty unfortunate" - How D Woods talks, and how I wish all doctors talked
    "I'm not chilling" - Shawn for the first time feeling stressed
    "I've learned how to rest" - the man who repeated Flex Luthor
    "crazy swirly lines" - maybe something is in Giul's chalkbag that isn't chalk?
    "That left heel hook" - everyone

    I stopped bouldering after breaking my leg and foot in a similar fall to Jimmy. Spinning off into what looked like a controlled fall. I've never had such a connection so strong as when Jimmy yelled. I immediately went back to laying back on the soft pads knowing my season was toast. Gave me chills. Sick video, Mellow.
