Good little vid - the time-lapse and multi image segments are really nice. Very likeable guys without all the American hype and histrionics.

Don Whillans trained his body to hold 8 pints of beer at the same time, these puppies don't look like they could handle half a shandy....

The whole thing was basically a Caseo ad.. Shame there was almost no climbing!
Still, hats off - these guys are definitely the kings of their crazy niche.

That's hardly unique amongst climbing videos sadly. Same can be said for many BD, petzl, red bull, etc sponsored videos.

Still a cool feat.

Pete's just flashed freerider as well. Talented little bugger.

So how many video's were being produced before sponsorships started paying for it again?

I'm all for advertising masquerading as climbing/adventure films - much better than not having climbing/adventure films or just having crap quality, poorly produced films along with the very occasional half funded but doomed to never make a profit film.

But when there's more footage of the guy checking his Watch than there is of him climbing, I think the line is crossed...

I find it a little odd that people who are primarily crack climbers are sponsored by a wristwatch company.

Does anyone else find it quite hard to jam when wearing a timepiece (offwidth and finger jams excluded of course)?

I find climbing in a watch in general pretty annoying.

It is equally annoying to climb whilst wearing a watch.
