denalidevo Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Actually, it was all done with 4-year old digital camera and a bit of editing in iMovie... Wow, this is where it's all going now eh? Hmmm, a new pair of shoes or a DVR... Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubler Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nice job and great vid! I especially like the Copeland Fanfare for the Common Man at the end. Very fitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatboy Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Nicely edited and nice climb. Gives a good sense of the scrambly nature of the route. Having the snow is nice - I liked the section where you appeared to be "crack climbing" by jamming your feet in the moat between the snow and the slab (even if you called that a "bergschrund" in your excitement).

denalidevo Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Yeah, I made a number of guffaws due to my breathless, stream-of-consciousness narrative state, but left them as-is since there wasn't going to be any second takes!
