I like how he allowed us to watch most attempts from start to finish, and there wasn't any rushed feeling or spazzy editing. Also, wasn't it sort of cool how in the guys problems, it seemed like the vantage point got closer and closer as each of the climbers made their attempts? I thought that was awesome. Was he like constantly moving around in the audience or something?? Anyway, great work.

The thing that really got me were how many problems involved a crazy dyno either at the end, waaay up high, or that involved body contortion etc. They really should think twice about this stuff as the last thing we want is competitors to get injured while performing for us.
