BigUp Video from Petzl Roctrip at Red River Gorge

BigUp must have read my post over here. They just released a video from Roctrip with some nice shots of the stars. “50 Words for Pump” and “Thanatopsis” are both featured. The segment with Sean McColl flashing “Thanatopsis” is especially sweet; you can hear all the beta he’s getting. That route has spit off a TON of amazing climbers. Without further ado, enjoy: Big Up at the Red

That’s a great video. I like the close ups of them clipping, good for training.

Yeah, those guys clip lightning quick, it’s really impressive.

I definitely remember that Emily Harrington attempt on Omaha Beach (5.14a I think, it’s the one where there’s a shot of her resting on the ledge AKA the “beach”). It was one of the few moments at the comp where the whole crowd really started following one climber. She’s not very big, so she was having to make a lot of really cool, sometimes dynamic, moves, but was sticking them all. All until the very top that is… she must have fallen within the last 20 feet or so (of a 100+ ft. route).

Can someone re-up this on something other than quicktime? For some reason, I can’t get Quicktime to run on my comp.

Here, hopefully this will work:
