Helicopter in Eldorado Wednesday?
|
Anyone know what was going on? Accident on Shirttail? |
|
There were signs yesterday 5/27 saying that Shirttail, Rincon, and West Ridge were "closed for filming". I didn't get any more details. |
|
Bear Grylls. Actually. |
|
Are they gonna fumigate the canyon? |
|
That guy gave himself an enema on television. He also drank the liquid out of elephant dung. No point... other than HA! |
|
"Adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls will take an A-list celebrity into the wildest and most remote locations around the world for the weekend journey of a lifetime." |
|
Seems like as good a place as any to post this: |

Then I noticed the top rope. I also noticed there was no sign of any top rope or belayer as he tops out, so they obviously were intentionally trying to mislead viewers into thinking he was soloing and completely staged the top-out. . . . unlike his Man vs. Wild shows, which, as we all know, were completely realistic, high-risk situations that he managed to overcome completely on his own using honed survival skills (never mind the camera team behind the curtain!). Still, it's a beautiful tower and some nice footage. |

People can put on a show for the camera. As I recall, Mad Rock used to have some leading on top rope advertisements floating around for their shoes. I've seen a few pictures (both in that gawker article and the video) where he rigged a "rappel" that involved someone lowering themselves off the anchor. That bothers me a little more. |

I'm glad there was no accident. |
|
We can bash on the guy for staging some of the shots. Working in the field, I believe you would have a very hard time producing a complete and compelling show without staging a few shots. Most things on television are staged... very least, we'll almost always ask for a 2nd take just to have a backup in the can. Those in the business get used to doing everything twice or more. Coordinating those shows must be a logistical nightmare. |

Trying to make bear griswold look talented also a logistical nightmare |
|
Ha, Nice. |
