Haha, love how the dogs realize he's going to send the problem at 6:07 and run around to meet him at the top

[@geemail369]

Noticed that too! XD Also: notice how that "chubby" one manages to overtake the fitter looking on their way to the top - must've found a way to break the dog beta on that one! XD

[@Midgmo]

Nice! Truly one of the best bouldering vids I've seen in a while

[@davidstaron4302]

I love the no b.s. style of this video. A little bit of pleasant voice over from the dude, but mostly just watching him practice his craft to sick tunes. Rad

[@stupidx10]

Still coming back to this video in 2022. One of my all time favorite climbing short films sick sends amazing music all around 10/10

[@EricBurbeck]

Blimp Roof looked amazing, except for that fucking crazy highball topout...sheesh, it just kept going and going, and with big moves too!

[@aj2934]

moving to prescott az in 6 months WOOOOOOO!

[@ThatManDan1]

Holy shit, SO RAD!!

[@Tabbywabby777]

I was wondering where those Nathaniel Davidson ethereal vibes were, then 18:37 rolled around. Aerial drone shot + low-fi/trance = best intro to almost any climbing sequence. Keep it coming guys.

[@yannponty2214]

Amazing vid, amazing style (the serenity/efficiency while toping out scary beasts is beyond comprehension)

[@christophermulvey968]

Great climbing, and the best dogs! They made the video.

[@edsoncovarrubiasquiroz5995]

GRACIAS MUY MUY BUENO

[@frictionlabs]

edson covarrubias quiroz 🙏

[@micahhumphrey6817]

Wow! Untouched...

[@maximeferre6903]

[@MagikMycol]

Great work Nathaniel Davidson, collaborators & climbers. This and your other work are some of the best & most creative bouldering vids I've seen in a long while! True art and not just another Brand Ad.

[@frictionlabs]

[@manueltrogu165]

[@thomasduncan1855]

Amazing, great climbing and cinematography.

[@zvnzvn3299]

Really nice video! These Highballs! Impressive Bouldering surrounded by a stunning landscape. Also camerawork, edit and the moderate pace are nice to watch.

[@heyimecnal]

Great content and soundtrack! More like this!

[@pramodtsrinivasula6283]

woww awesome video ! I'm surprised why it's not so popular

[@calebcoatney4398]

This film is freaking awesome

[@woyeleye]

There are some gorgeous lines in this video.

[@theunaphotobomber]

This is easily one of the best climbing videos I've ever seen. Phenomenal shots and drone flyaways, incredible lines on TALL boulders, and sweet tunes playing the whole time. He literally topped out that Blimp Roof boulder next to a treetop... insane. Such an awesome film.

[@frictionlabs]

Thank you for the kind words Luke. We're glad you are psyched!

[@juliusgrisette]

The sequence before and after the kneebar at 12:40 looks so fun! Awesome video man! I enjoy watching your climbing!!

[@taylorwoodruff887]

Crystal Roof Crack looks like one of the coolest lines anywhere. Also the music and the transition into that clip were so rad. I've seen this whole video several times and was bummed that I couldn't get ahold of the music. Thanks so much, frictionlabs, for releasing the track list, for this gem of a climbing video, and for making dank, dank chalk.

[@frictionlabs]

Insert fist bump emoji. :)

[@revilorellim86]

[@troyaraiza]

Frictionlabs you are killing it! Loving these videos, sub from me! The Blimp roof section was one of the best pieces of climbing footage I have seen (9:13)

[@frictionlabs]

Thanks for the shout out Aaron!

[@joeveliz7814]

[@TimH123]

How does that hold at 5:15 even work? Love this film, such a nice vibe. I’ll buy your chalk, if only so you keep making films like this.

[@llaces]

That's what I was thinking! Holy shitttt

[@req_in4356]

4:24 gold

[@VisceralVibrations]

interesting usage of a drone.

[@samgallen6087]

Killer video! Flag/ NAZ is extremely underrated. Anyone know what canyon this is?

[@frictionlabs]

Hit up Matt Gentile on IG: instagram.com/matt_gentile1/

[@curtisdoucet8996]

14:12 Imagine catching someone from this height. That'd hurt..

[@TheNaaproductions]

Curtis Doucet your not trying to catch them when you spot you are trying to protect their head when they fall
