I only have one question following this video...

Where can I get a shirt like that?!

Great video though, really drives home the point.

That is one durable girl. She bounces right up drop after drop.

The guy needs a beatdown for his pants/shorts attire.

that it is =P

one thing to look out for is those folks who say "i KNOW how to belay, theres nothing to learn, im doing everything perfectly" .... often they are "experienced" climbers and they follow that with saying "ive been climbing since dinos roamed the earth" .....

at least newbie tend to know and accept what they can do better .... "experienced" climbers not so much ... yet a perusal of accidents will show that they drop people just as well

everytime i belay i think about what i can do better ... just like climbing ...

Anybody know the stunt woman in the video who kept taking the actual ground falls? Man, she is great!

Really?

That's Nina Caprez. If Eleanor climbed half as well as Nina, she might garner a little more respect on this site. Check yo self!:

Edit: my bad. Y'all are talking about the 'stunt' woman. Not the beautiful lead actress. Haha!

I use the grigri so I DONT have to look up half the damn day, that is my only critique of the video

liked the video, the dude playing flute is Darwinism.

I disagree with proper slack for climber tho, maybe sportys like it weird but i think alittle slack is a smooth catch on lead verus yelling and jugging for outs

I like the beater helmet. Think I've seen that shirt logo on some Petzl stickers that I got at the RRG fest this fall. Not sure what to say about those Superman nut bustin' mini shorts over the tights...that was a bit too much.

Those shorts are....something. Plum smuggler.
