My trip to Acadia is expressed here in this video!! It was amazing. Beautiful sea-polished rocks and the scenery was breathtaking. I had a blast pulling hard with my best friends. I couldn't have asked for a better week. Check Out the video and tell me what you think |

| You sure that's an FA? I'm kinda sorta pretty skeptical.
Any climbing video shot there needs to show the exposure and views, especially at Otter. |

slow, bad music, everyone looks uncomfortable in the interviews, toproping is not onsight, most everyone in the video are terrible climbers
don't ask for public review and then get all defensive
Adam could very well be a professional...
better luck next time kid |

i was not trying to get defensive. I was honestly curious. When someone says "horrible" and doesn't explain why, then I have a problem. I was asking for feedback not just a one-word answer. If he didn't want to respond, he didn't have to just insult it without telling me why. I apprechiate the fact that you did tell me why you didn't like it. BTW, otter cliffs is an entirely top-roping site, there is no lead climbing there. The fact is I still sent 5.12, the only possible way on TR. |

Really? You're toproping "5.12" and epicing on V0- slabs to played out music and then waxing poetic about how hardcore it is. All after some very dramatic shoeing up and figure 8 tying. It's nice you kids had fun, but c'mon. |

I don't understand why videos have to be all about climbing incredibly hard. The fact is that we worked hard on this and it shows! Otter cliffs is only top-roping, there are no bolts at all! Check MP for the gallery and see the protection is labeled as TR, trust me if it was leadable i would definitly lead it but i couldn't. I am sorry if I am coming off pretentious but its not always about how hard you can climb. What matters is the climbers themselves. |

Odd. I've led plenty of routes at Otter Cliff. Not 5.12. But, still, plenty of routes. |

Really?? Hmm, Idk M.P says that Gallery is stricty "top-rope" If someone were to lead it, they would run-out the first 20 ft and the last 10 feet and the gear is shady. Sorry If i said that everything at Otter was unleadable, I meant the Gallery |

I consider 5.12 ,whether on lead or top-rope, hard. If you have a different opinion thats fine but its my opinion in the video! |

Actually there isn't a route that Otter that has not been led. I have belayed my son on Gallery - while he led it. My old climbing mate, Paul Niland, led Gallery before you were born. |
