Hello all! We are so glad you like the film! thank you so much for the positive comments. We worked very hard on this film so it feels really good to see that people are enjoying it. Thanks for watching!
This is probably my favourite climbing film of all time, and I've seen them all. Kinda plays out like a climber and his imaginary friend nerding out about climbing. Seeing him celebrate the tiny successes is super inspiring.
Climbing films have come a long way in a short time. Hopefully the times when every move in a bouldering film had to be accompanied by some badass music have come to an end. Excellent production that not only showed the complexity and beauty of the climbing itself, but also a sense of the tranquility and peace nature has to offer.
Echo the comments from others. Really well made film, but more importantly this lad is a serious talent. To go from zero to 8C in six years is mental. Natural finger strength and ability only get you so far. Dave's attitude is the difference. What a top lad. Could say I wished I'd had the training info etc when I was younger but it's really all about application and using your talent correctly. From someone who was an 8b climber (finger injury away from 8c and Hubble.... damnit), 8A boulderer, World Cup competition 1/4 finalist....... in 1992. Not so much now.😂 Chapeau son!
You guys produce amazing films. The music fits the action perfectly, it is not an annoying shit that you have to mute. The story is always interesting. Philosopher at 14:20 :) By the way - amazing progression of a climber - 6,5 years and a world top...
I usually don´t leave comments but this video is just awesome! Really amazing and refreshing! You have the right attitute dude! Never swearing, just being really psyched and motivated! Please, keep on rocking and posting videos like this! My man!!!!
great film! really enjoyed it - I really hope David's friend learns how to spot though. Being a good climbing buddy is more than just yelling 'allez' and 'come on'.
A repeat on everyone else’s comments. Great piece of work and Dave is the quintessential climber: super capable, humble, all class and beyond positive. Inspirational stuff. Amazingly supportive climbing partner too!
I cant wait to outdoor boulder ...i didnt find that one thing until i was 39 but im grateful it was found.... im so absolutely fascinated and in love with climbing.. thank you for these videos of fantastic moments in time
This is a good video. Some days I go out with a friend or 2 and we just talk crap to each other all day and dont send. This shows the heart of that quite a bit. Any day out in nature is a great day. Thanks.
This is so well shot! Really interesting getting in the mind of David a bit. Also hearing about the the way dopamine effects how you remember it really struck a chord with me.
What an awesome film. Especially the sound of David's breathing when he 'feels' that he is going to top the boulder. You just feel the adrenaline and excitement. Wow. Sweaty hands of the Pavlov effect
Dave's the type of climber i wanna be as i slowly improve. Smiling directly after falling on the last move of a longtime project. Great filming, loved the lack of audio, and hearing the breathing of Dave, actually super interesting to hear where he clenches and holds his breath.
Super great film, inspiring climbing all around. Curious about the decision to put the microphone in what sounds like the inside of his mouth when he sends though.
love how he talks through beta like you're working it with him. "you can bring your right hand then into a sidepull". no I can't dude lmao those crimps on that angle I couldn't pull off the fucking ground haha

rain makes colors pop! Love the drone shots. Climbing, of course, is stellar.
I can't believe he's only been climbing for 6.5 years and already sending 8C's, that's amazing!
in only 3 sessions.! That's just nuts
And what was it? 8b+ in like 2-3 years?? His progression is mind-boggling, a phenom well and truly

A shot every time Danaan says dopamine.

Really like Dave as a climber and this film really captures the process. Super psyched!

What a superb film !! David is so crazy strong, it’s so impressive
Sick film, big effort. Thanks for making it available free.
I can just rewatch this all the time, so much wholesomeness and psyche and beauty rolled into one.. Absolute class.
I learned about a lot more than climbing which I did not expect, thank you Dave and puzzleglass!

Just amazing to see Dave crushing it!
This must be one of the best climbing films out there
This is a good video. Some days I go out with a friend or 2 and we just talk crap to each other all day and dont send. This shows the heart of that quite a bit. Any day out in nature is a great day. Thanks.

Such a sick vid

Great and funny film ;)
When was this send? 8C counter anyone???
Super great film, inspiring climbing all around.
Curious about the decision to put the microphone in what sounds like the inside of his mouth when he sends though.
love how he talks through beta like you're working it with him. "you can bring your right hand then into a sidepull". no I can't dude lmao those crimps on that angle I couldn't pull off the fucking ground haha
Who are the 6 people who disliked this and what is wrong with them
This rocks
beautiful film, beautifly lit "Big Paw" boulder, what kind of lights was used??
hero!
I'm taking a trip to Ireland in August and want to try some 7a's, could you tell me what area the Abyss is in please??
Haha! "the same feeling has having snorted loads of coke" LOL
So basically we can all stop bouldering and start doing the other "lines"
I always though Klem put that boulder up ?
It's all about dopamine. A bit depressing for someone without it. Nice vid though.
6yrs from age 18?!?! fuuck...
Haha climbing 8a s en 8b s on restday .i wish😃
gotta stop spamming comments but 9:04 what the holy hell was that
The only thing you can compare climbing to is cocaine?
Absolutely disgusting how many times cocaine is mentioned here. You should be utterly ashamed to put this content out.
