I watched this video and it was very obvious a bouldering crew was out trad climbing. Typical boulder crowd style: Bring all my friends and crag dog, chat about the climb, chat about falling, chat about trying, TR the route before actually giving the route a go, add electronic music to the video to make the climbing actually fun to watch rather than hard heady moves adding spice to the film, plenty of protection to be had, but purposefully slimmed the rack down attempting to make the climb look difficult, many trad climbers that are not pro could have climbed this route in their sleep, I agonized watching this video because nothing about it was in traditional style which is one of the main reasons to trad climb. This video promoted people climbing above their skill level and knowledge of how to place pro, which contributes to a vast majority of deaths that occur each year in Eldorado Canyon. If you are going to make a movie about a trad climb, make it original, or at least honor the style.
Great to see strong people get a bit scared.
