I think we can all agree that we can't all seem to agree on anything! :)

+1 Bear Grylls is an asshat.

I don't care what the dictionary says, I refuse to believe "disorientating" is actually a real word.

You can watch the "behind the scenes" here: www.theadrenalist.com/promotions/masters-of-movement/

Of interest to me were some of the things they say regarding the prep work:

"Brad's gotta build his path through this scramble section to make sure he can move as fast as Bear with the steadycam, so that might take some prep, leveling some rock and stuff through there."

"The problem with the top is it's so loose, so we're having to pull lots of different little features to make it safe"

Sounds like they don't give a shit about how they leave the rock...

At the very end of that "Masters of Movement" video, there's a banner that says "WATCH BEAR CLIMB". Yeah, I'd love to. Where's that vid?

His chalkbag is clipped to the harness with a carabiner. C'mon man!

Ah yes, the Bear Grylls debate...largely decided because of his termination with Discovery...but I couldn't agree more:

I love the interview set for the bouldering video. It looked like Hard Copy or Inside Edition. I kept expecting a story about Kim Kardasian. But really, where is the deodorant being applied to underarms? Where are the ladies smiling? And some cigarette smoking and broom mustaches for that retro-70s ad look would be awesome.

The orange pants were pretty cool too, where can I get me some of those?

Here is the route info. I wonder what it goes at if you free it.

Not sure how that video makes Bear look like a tool. Looks like the product of some idiot marketing genius who doesn't know a thing about climbing. Anyone still believing that he has ANY control over the final product that you see obviously hasn't been paying attention. He was, after all, fired for refusing to go along with their stupid reindeer games.

I realize it's fun for some of you to talk shit about him though. If that makes you feel better about your own weaknesses then have at it.

"For me it's those sort of times that I go off on my own and I climb."

Just sent the following to Unilever in protest of the inanity that is "The Adrenalist" :

Hey there,

just watched your Bear Grylls Adrenalist videos online. As a climber, and I assume part of your target audience (35 years old), I have to say I found your videos to be pretty disingenuous. While on paper I'm sure the idea of selling deodorant through an "extreme sports" vehicle is attractive, in reality your ad of Bear Grylls climbing the Tombstone in Moab is facile, transparent, technically innacurate and in the end alienates those it is trying to emulate and encourage to purchase product. Your bombastic and heroic production emphasized shiny gadgets and brash male egotism rather than the quiet respect, spirituality and environmentally symbiotic nature of climbing in somewhere like Moab. The "Making of" video only served to highlight the degree to which the crew impacted the locale, not to mention how little Mr. Grylls had to do with his own "self propelled" ascent. Climbing isn't a sweaty pit that needs your brand to smell better. Most climbers would rather smell of rock and chalk at the end of the day anyhow.

Tired of seeing climbing as the domain of adrenaline junkies and Sylvester Stallone-induced antics.
