Climbing in Bishop last weekend with Daniel Woods, Ethan Pringle and others. Made a little movie about it.

Check out "Mirando" and let me know what you think:

Thanks, Ben.

The first track is "Burn My Shadow" from Unkle. (the one during G on Hauron)

Or are you asking about the low drone during the intro?

The "shot from above" scenes like in the intro are sweet. Love to see some more of those. Nice video though. I enjoyed very much.

@john -- yeah, i managed to get a top down shot on a few of the climbs, but the others either required a rappel or the send went down too fast for me to get another angle.

glad you guys liked it.

@Mike - thanks, man. Yeah, and I didn't really have enough time to get a wider shot to really show you how big that climb is -- it's incredibly tall and with a pretty bad landing, Ethan would have gotten pretty hurt falling off the top of that thing. His last move to the top scared me the most -- he gets pretty extended.

@kevin - the last song during this section is "Busy Bein' Born" by "Middle Class Rut" -- myspace.com/middleclassrut

You'd rather hear more chatter, or none at all?

...as opposed to...? someone operating a jib?

No money requested. Free film. :)
