Saw the film last night. I'll give it the ol' sh1tsandwitch.

The film maker did manage to capture on film some interesting climbing and did not fcuk it up with MTV editing.

It is completely amateur and not even gifted. Constantly out of focus. Hello? White Balance are you home? What the hell did he borrow his dad's old camcorder? Can't compare it to the very polished films made by Chuck Fryberger and others. Comparing it to other amateur climbing films like Consumed and even Low Gravity only shows how bad the film making is.

The final sequence showing Lee Cossey on the final moves of Sneaky Snake is great. Swearing and all, it manages to capture some desperation that is so often missing sport climbing film. Nice work.
