Great Film 4 out of 5 stars

Review by: skidawg, 2007-12-02


It's been a while since I saw this, but I thought I'd write a sentence or two. It was a great film that was more down to earth than others I've seen. It took you all over and had great scenery. For some reason I would have to agree with others that it didn't really hold my attention too much though. I watched it with a few breaks in between. I can't say it's not a great video 'cause it is, but for the $30 I paid, I might go with another one first.

Great film, about rock climbing, not sponsored athletes 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: moment, 2007-09-19


Sure many of the climbers in the film are sponsored, but this film isn't an attempt to create and then capitalise on the stardom of a rock climber (unlike the Dosage or Masters of Stone films) It's about climbing and the experience of doing a first ascent, but with an ending reminder that climbing is best practised as a personal pursuit: man against rock or man connecting with rock. Overall, the climbing in the film is good (not great), so buy it if you're looking for a film that demonstrates (as truthfully as anything I've seen before) what fuels those who are obsessed with rock climbing (in all its forms save rap. bolted stuff)

Classic 4 out of 5 stars

Review by: jpseals3, 2007-08-04


This movie is more than about climbing but the institution of it. Don't review it on the big moves that sucks you in like all the others. This is about passion and about the love of climbing and moving to the next levels.

next best film to hard grit 5 out of 5 stars

Review by: unrooted, 2007-08-03


I really liked this film, I am blown away that anyone would not like it. I also like fourth installment of Dosage. I would like to know what films the few who didn't like FA do like.
