Sicne there is only one person credited with video, can we assume this was pieced together from multiple attemps?

at first I was perplexed by the music, but finally I found it appropriate and also…inspiring

At best a very average climbing video. Dire music choice.
Comment by Jim — June 14, 2010 @ 10:01 pm
That route is soft anyway
Comment by t-bird — June 15, 2010 @ 3:25 am
ok, it’s not professional quality by any means, but I thought it was pretty good. As for the sound track, it’s far better than putting on another lil wayne autotune bs to go with it.

I definately liked it, looked like a nice route. I didn’t mind the music either.
Comment by Peter — June 15, 2010 @ 5:07 pm
after watching it i feel the music makes sense and I dig it but it definately sucked at first. the video shooting and editing was average to poor. not very exciting.

Comment by pikachu — June 21, 2010 @ 3:45 pm
have any of you considered yet that maybe the person who put up the video just has a sence of humor?

To the good commenters of videoclimb.com-
Thank you all for taking an interest in this inspiring, interesting video. This video was the brainchild of myself, Señor David (“The Moisture Farm) Wetmore, and Mike (The Defiler) Foley. After spending close to 60 hours listening to a variety of music selections, ranging from Gilbert and Sullivan’s “The Pirates of Penzance” to The Magnetic Fields’ “I Thought You Were My Boyfriend”, we decided on the luscious, symphonic movement that you can now hear in the above video: Phil Collins’ ‘I Can Feel it Coming in the Air Tonight’. Why? Because all three of us take ourselves completely seriously, and have rarely, if ever, laughed. Also, if any of you have had sex to the aforementioned song, you would understand. As you may gather from the completely seamless screen wipes to the unmatchable lighting of each shot, this short video is the culmination of 2700 man-hours of labor (this includes all of the time it took for Mike to learn to climb 14c and for me to learn how to use a grigri). Therefore, hold your wretched tongues you foul internet trolls. This is art at its finest. If Monet’s “Water-Lillies” and “Gone With the Wind” had sex, this short film would be their love-child.

You tell those artless snobs!
I can feel it…

So, I’m the massive DOUCHE-BOT that made the video. We had a rest day and decided to do some filming with the intention of changing the ugly world we all live in. Such a nasty planet we have inherited. In fact, when I wake up in the morning, I think–I am the most bad-ass mother fucking video maker and I want everyone to know it and someday my movies will change how people think about climbing and themselves. I surely wasn’t thinking, let’s use a rest day to have some fun with my $100 camera from Best Buy and download an editing program I have no idea how to use. No no. I take myself far to fucking seriously for that bullshit.
OK: For all you gym rat, meat heads out there, if you can’t read between the lines, I’ll explain it for you. The music is a joke. OMG! THE MUSIC IS A JOKE! It’s supposed to be funny because believe or not, we like to have “fun” while climbing. You”re only “average” cocksuckers though–next time I want to see some real heat because I was thinking about quitting my day job. Where did you all learn to leak such an abundance of diarrhea out your mouth? Impressive.
You can see how seriously I take myself at davewetmore.louderthan11.com. I chose another brilliant song to go along with another unbelievably shot video.

It’s sad when you get a bunch of fat bastard assholes, who can’t even will themselves to finish a 1/4 pounder at McDonald’s let alone climb the approach to the route, anonymously make such miserable comments!!
Felix, T-bird and dfdf,
fuck off!!
let me know when you dumb pricks make a video and I’ll be happy to tell you how GAY you are!!
Great climb..
Comment by Jason P — July 21, 2010 @ 6:25 am
Only one man can spew such vitriol at any and all climbers, and he is I and I is he. So to all of you haters, I’ll see you in the parking lot.
Comment by Gabe Walker — July 21, 2010 @ 3:52 pm
