Bachar-Yerian film
|
Hey everyone, I'm sure most of you are familiar with the Bachar-Yerian (5.11c R/X) in Toulumne Meadows. A good friend of mine, Cole Gibson, directed a short film about one of his friends, Andrew Rock (appropriate name, huh?), training for and climbing it. |

This is really awesome - wonderful job. |
|
Very nicely done. Way to bring the climb to life. Congrats Andrew!! |
|
Awesome, thanks for posting that. |
|
Very cool. Thanks a lot! |
|
A+ |

I liked the film a lot. In days of saftey conscious everything it's nice to know people have left Bachar's vision as it is. Makes me want to go back to Tolumune and spend some time. |
|
Loved it thanks, well done! |
|
Great film. |
|
Wow, no helmet, really!? Great video of a classic. Makes me want a margarita just watching it. How intense! |
|
that was cool . thanks |
|
Lovely psych-inspiring little movie! |
|
Amazing, thanks for posting it. |
|
Right on, Cole! Great work. |
|
Beautiful. It's always fun to see an Average Joe accomplishing un-average things. That's inspiring. Congrats to the film crew and the climbers. |
|
Good story line and video, but all that high speed playback of the climbing pretty much ruined it for me. No offense, do what ya want, have fun. :) |
|
Liked it. I would have watched each move at normal speed given the character development/background, editing, the route, etc. Seems like so many videos show little glimpses of the route or overviews, as it can be boring watching climbing at normal speed . . . but I think a longer version would definitely be worth watching. Nice work. |
|
Awesome, glad people seem to be enjoying it and thanks for all the feedback. |
|
Win. Thanks for charging me up before work! :) |

Seems to me not telling the viewer--until topping out makes it clear--that pitch one is the crux in both difficulty and danger made the story-telling a little incomplete or anti-climactic.Knowing that information does not change a thing. I know real solid climbers that have fallen huge on the upper pitches. The fact that the technical crux is stated as being down low doesn't change a thing.You have to be on it the whole way on this route. It more of a relief to the potential leader. Anti-climactic my foot. Quit picking it apart.It was a great little film about one of the most intense climbs put up in that era from the ground up. Good job. |

Awesome video, great production value. But I have to agree; re-edit the high-speed sections to real time. They won't add much time to the video but will make the experience that much better. |
