The Interviews were dumb as well

Ditto to everything said before me, but I thought the interviews were not very good or insightful either. The best part of the film is it gives you a pretty good idea of what the actual rock at the Rocklands is like.

Mellow

A very good film, giving quite a good feel for both areas, with decent camera work. One downside, at least for me, is all the little tiny 1/2 second clips of some of the things in Hueco looked like they would have been more intense than the pieces they devoted more time too.

So So

Some of the areas had good footage, and other times you couldn't get a very good sense of what the problem was like, as well as some of the problems looking like turds compared to the lines you see in other videos.

Not Motivating

Really boring, very few of the clips really got me very psyched to climb. I could not even watch the whole thing in one sitting.

A great shoe that is good on anything. I climb hard slab in them as well so none of that "I'd rather be barefoot" bullshit. I find them to also be much more comfortable than the Five.Ten V10's or Mad Rock Loco. The picture of them is never very good, they are very pointed asymetrical shoes.
Just adding that I have had them for about 7 months now and I am still climbing my best ever in them, even though they are sized to large. So also these can make good comfortable shoes if sized large but somehow still climb amazing!
