Excellent film, but not recommended for those looking for another Rampage. When I saw this in Vancouver during the premiere tour I was very impressed that there were several non-climbers in the audience who enjoyed the show. Josh Lowell has put out a very professional product.
While some people have issues with the interviews and the way the climbers came off, I found that it accurately reflected the lifestyle of a traveling climber. Life simplifies when spending a month in one place with no other purpose than climbing, and no one should expect these climbers to speak like university lecturers and reveal great truths about the universe. Sharma and Brown have both been in the limelight and I personally found it quite interesting to hear their perspectives.
Killer soundtrack. Love the indian techno.

Awesome video, Josh Lowell capture some climbing and life in hampi. It is inspiring, its not just about strong guys climbing hard things. But really captures a good vib and shows what climbing trips & friends should be like.

I really enjoyed this vid. The interviews, as mention basically suck...Chris Sharma sounds like he's gonna cry, Nate Gold sounds like a stoned moron, Katie is the only one that makes total sense throughout the vid. However, there is some sick climbing by all members esp. Sharma. The outtakes are the only place you get a real good appreciation for Nate Gold other than a few routes in the vid. Katie Brown is awesome in it...it's neat to watch Sharma and Brown do the same route. I would recommend this vid for the sweet climbing, story line, and the quality, just ignore a few of the interviews.

Wicked video for sure! I like it a lot more than others i've seen because it focuses more on the rocks than on the climbers. It's not a video showing how cool or good this person is. No rock porn here, just gives some good insight into the soul of climbing. After watching it a couple times the problems really start to take on personalities. I didn't think sharma and gold were baked out of their minds, who would want to get high in heat like that.

I thought it was an ok video, needed a bit more climbing in it but it was still intresting to see some sick stuff come out of the video.
