Finally someone hit on the technical flaw. Mr. Fryberger at least spared us base jumping and slacklining. I doubt many people(including the major sponsors) would disagree that the filming was impeccable but the artistic direction would have been better placed on someone with a better chance of success on an experimental film. Yea, Cedar came off as pretty ghey in the self centered world of perceived image we call a bouldering community. Go over to the taco and ask Ninov if he has a problem curling up next to the guy on a wall. Really draw him out with language that is sure to get a reaction. USE YOUR REAL NAME.
I think that the attempt to capitalize on the hip trading places theme was taken in the completely ass backward direction anyone with sense would have taken it. Put some drugged up boulderer on a trad trip and watch the hijinks when his stash runs out a few thousand feet above the floor. Meaning, anyone familiar with the Black Hills video knows he can boulder. Throw the neccesary money at him if he pushes out of his comfort level (sorry boyo you don't get to costar)and puts a midpitch V12 in the can at high altitude. He gets the chance to play with the beauty of the grand scale and ultimately makes a movie with enough geekery (porn) and substance(boulderer moved to vocalize intelligent thought) we end up with a HD movie most of our family can sit through enjoyably.
Maybe I just think the joint smoking boulderer would reawaken the lifeblood of the trad world. I miss the idea of Chongo.
