That's only half the video.  Here's the complete one:

Thanks! I could only find the edited version, glad someone found the full! It would be a travesty if this were lost in time.

I think it has been posted before. It is a beautiful film.

What's going on with the belay at 4:45? :O

Looks like standard guide mode to me. Am I missing something?

The device is out of frame but yeah, nothing looks wrong to me. 

I guess it makes sense that it could be a guide mode device out of frame. However, she's still taking her hand off the brake strand every pull.

This one has got to be here already but at 44 pages in the thread I didn't see it right off and its so worthy.

buwhahahah pictures of the crappy cam that held Lisa's whip. :)

I feel like I needed a cigarette after watching that perfect nut placement

If I catch you placing cams like that, NO BLESSINGS FOR JOO.

How do you think guides bring up two at the same time? Just like that.

I saw her place that, thought “oh shit, I hope she doesn’t fall on that...” LOL.

A recent one - more alpine style.

Interesting. I started this thread to discuss without polluting this one.

Make sure you watch past the credits to 15:06. classic!

Hand never comes off the rope, what am I missing???

About "A World Above"-- nice film but I felt a little bit misled! The overall impression that the film creates is that this was a ground-up on-sight send of the route. They make it sound like they picked the line and just did it from bottom to top. The female climber even says they sent the whole route "on-sight" at one point in the movie. But in some of the footage you can see one of the leaders reaching for a hold that is already chalked up, and then later when they are on the bivy ledge one guy talks about the next pitch being his likely crux pitch because previously he had needed to work out the hardest bits for quite some time. Nothing wrong with working the pitches before sending, but I wonder why they chose to obscure this the way that they did-- and not very well.

I don't think they tried to obscure anything, i think what you'll find on these big walls when you have allot of good climbers going in on it each climbers wants to try and lead every pitch, so while they may have gone on sight for her the other guy had to heavily work the 4th pitch from the top, you can see this in the incredible hulk video earlier in the thread where Emily is giving alex beta and the draws had already been hung.
