Good to hear that you were there for both those climbs. You work super hard, and it shows, but there will always be doubts, so it good to have those doubts dispelled by good honest open conversation. I can’t wait to see this! I’ll be preordering the first chance I get.

Juicy rumor, but not true. I spent weeks out in the harsh Mojave Desert waiting for Sharma to get his ass up the route…no amount of re-shoots or pose-downs can ever substitute for that genuine moment of success after years of failure. Of course we can’t be there for the send-moment of every single climb we film, but for the big sends in Progression like Ambrosia and Jumbo Love, we made the effort and were lucky enough to capture them live.

I wouldn’t be all the surprised if that was true. It would be interesting to find out the % of “sends” featured in movies that are actual continuous ascents compared to those that are pose downs.

rumor has it that the footage of the “send” was shot weeks prior to the actual send…. afterall climbing movies are still “movies” through and through …
