Distel32 Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 hi there. I made the video so let me explain the context. It was made for the Festiglace. It was the end of the 15 minute long movie. The movie started by showing some sport climbing, dry tooling, the Ice Climbing World Cup and then that vid. The point of the vid what to show some variety of climbing in Quebec. I wrote trad because it's a gear climb. Yes it is preplaced gear. Does that make it a sport climb? Maybe, personnaly, I don't care much. You can keep arguing. I doubt it will be send placing gear for the next 20 year. For the music, it is by Shurikane. One of the member of the band I Am. The song is called Samurai. P.S. As you might notice, the vid is not even officially on the website anyway. I wanted to change that version a little (including removing the trad thing). I didn't expect it would end up on various forums. Alex is the shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cracked Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I think the best indicator of the fact that it's trad is that the climber is wearing a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willstrickland Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Yeah, mad props to Alex. I've used plenty of his free bouldering guides...Yos, HP40, Rocktown, Boat Rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDoolittle Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 I thought I was watching "Return of the Mummy"... Definitely a sport climb, IMHO. It's a shame they had to do the camera tip, to make it look steeper than it really is. That crux looked EASY compared to the Yellow roof problem at the Y. That thing is fucking HARD, maybe a 5.11.
