Better Than Chocolate Full Movie - The Swiss Bouldering Classic

"In terms of footage, this is one of the very best climbing video I've ever had the pleasure of watching" Bjorn Pohl, UKclimbing.com
"for fans of bouldering videos this is most certainly worth adding to your collection" ClimbingNarc
"BTC holds the comparison with big climbing productions" Kletterszene.com
"In short, for a first production, Haroun strikes a blow" Pierre Délas, Kairn.com
As Better Than Chocolate is now celebrating its 8th year anniversary, I have decided to upload it to youtube and make it available for free.
It was my first serious project, was distributed worldwide (Digital Download and DVD) and launched my filmmaking career. At the time I had to build all the filmmaking equipment by hand (slider, gimbal, crane). I went on to shoot documentaries and commercials in almost 25 countries, from the Amazon to the Cederberg Mountains. Enjoy!

Reminds me of old skating videos from the 90's...shorty's...zero...alienworkshop...feel like this video is the start of something...I dig it.

Besides being a great film with fresh new angles, I lovely the diversity of climbers and languages in the film. Truly captures the mixed culture climbers share united.

[@alexkingston7155]

Beautiful film, true to the spirit of bouldering, much love. Big Up and thank you for putting it out there.

Best movie I've seen in a long time

[@zdordai]

The Unknown 7C in Valais/Plex area is called House of Pain. She did the stand start which indeed was called 7C, apparently the lower start down and left is 7C+ or 8A depending on who you ask. Thanks for the upload!

[@justinjakimiak1998]

The inclusion of a blurb from the climbing narc in the description tells you exactly what era this is from.. and I love it

[@gianmartial]

Sooo awesome!

[@filipslop]

29:40 Fake Pamplemousse, such a legendary boulder

[@titiuclaudio]

One of the all time best bouldering movies!

[@ComputerManDanMiller]

That send of "One Summer in Paradise" was super clean. That's one of the most dialed sequences I think I've ever seen. Very nice! Also "The Dagger" is a super rad climb.

brilliant movie! it s a bit like CORE and The Network which I really enjoyed watching. Also really fun to see the athletes from those movies.

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Incredible video guys!!! Great work, this thing should have a big screening

[@TheGirlClimber]

Agreed, Chris! I have this movie always playing in the background as I warm up!

[@HarounSouirji]

Thanks! It actually was screened in Brazil, in the USA, Japan, Italy and Belgium 8 years ago when it was released ;-)

[@Rotempunkt]

Any chance for a Spotify Playlist of the film's soundtrack? :)

[@HarounSouirji]

Sorry but I don't use Spotify. You can see the tracklist in the credits!

It's written during the dog cam shot. Name is Kirk Windstein (8A+)

[@living4adrenaline]

What is the opening song? I've sampled all the songs in the credits and can't find it

[@melanielegallois6424]

A ne pas confondre avec l'homonyme de 1999.. :D

[@wilsonov87]

Is there a missing audio between 26.08-26.50 or what?

[@Rotempunkt]

Could be due to music copyrights concerns of KZbin.

[@ryanbell9423]

When was this made ?

[@HarounSouirji]

It was shot about a decade ago!

Fine video. Next time, no music please. Just the sounds of the climbers and of nature.
