The North Face Presents: Stone Spirit

[@jon-williammurphy9780]

Cameron Maier is a god damn genius. The editing is dead nuts perfect and I love the story of having the trip start out with no sends (and no music), just piecing stuff together and then eventually being able to put climbs down and culminating in them both doing their thing on Off the Wagon. Super inspiring film making.

[@andresgalvez]

What’s so nice about the off the wagon shot from underneath is that I think a lot of us know the moves, and so seeing such a different take on the moves we’ve seen over and over is super fresh and yeah little artsy (the composition is sweet). Man this channel is a gem. Like a never ending Dosage series.

[@aidangoddard9607]

Never thought I’d hear Bach watching an 8C+ boulder

[@ashleyauster847]

best surprise ever, right? It made my day!

[@ldb5526]

And the dudes yelling just completely ruined it

[@monkeypoohonyou]

@@ldb5526 nah

[@kinghayden7218]

What piece is this?

[@aidangoddard9607]

Hayden Nier there’s a million versions but I think it’s the original orchestration of Air on a G string (2nd movement of the Bach orchestral suite in D Major) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqvPqGmcitqratE. Before off the wagon is some remix of the Prelude no.1 in C Major.

[@aturner2430]

lol Daniel Woods "my fingers aren't strong enough..."

[@EricBurbeck]

It’s all relative!

[@biltongandboba]

He actually said 'my fingers aren't strong that way'. aka his (full) crimp strength is super strong but his open hand/drag isn't nearly as much.

[@aturner2430]

@@biltongandboba no I know, but it is still funny to hear from Dwoods because comparatively I'm sure his open hand strength is still ridiculous

[@paulbaczynski2681]

directed by Lars Von Trier

[@onotavla4149]

jajajajaj

[@vladvoro]

Is it a dream?

[@kall3nat0r]

I was trying to remember what the editing reminds me of, you're right!

[@manob2594]

80 year old me to my grandkid: "So.... there was this wagon parked under a boulder"

[@damien6951]

This video blew me away. This is a piece of art, especially the sound design. Please continue this way ...

[@ianyoon2277]

Can't wait to hear "I can't do this" and 10 seconds later they crush the boulder like always.

[@picklereviewer7216]

yummy pickel

[@beneckstein7020]

So well shot, so well edited. Amazing film.

[@lorenaiach1853]

That parallel edit between Daniel and Matty on Momentum was everything 😍

[@mistisia]

loved the concept for this film. Woods' "I dream of blowing it up" after fails (3:55) together with shots of blown up blocks of rock, and then the switch into sends with shots of sculptures made from these blocks. Kudos!

[@ianyoon2277]

Holy shit lmao, good catch

[@gmed7703]

For some reason I thought the concept of "Stone Spirit" and the rocks being crumbIed, which came after they had faiIed on most of the bouIders they tried, couId be it.

[@joak244]

This was absolutely beautiful. Insane climbing, beautiful shots, perfect sound editing. 10/10

[@luismilian9266]

Wow, this video truly accentuates the magical eeriness of that place. Great climbing film.

[@Kabanginator]

Hands down my favorite Mellow vid. It builds up so much tension through the first half and is so satisfying when the sends start.

[@MrGigglezworth]

The sound design and music was so good, love what Mellow is doing. For those interested: 10:43 - Biba Dupont by Volga 13:25 - tonight, tomorrow by Jacob Pavek 16:10 - Prelude, Sung Eun Choi 19:25 - Airona, Agni Bjark

[@totheair247]

thank you!

[@wirelesscarrion6886]

Thanks!

[@MrKittiemoo]

Felt like a bouldering movie produced by A24. So dope!

[@noneofyourdamnbuisness3484]

damn thats super accurate

[@Jake-lg2jv]

3:02 Giuliano after Paul downgraded REM

[@brandondann3514]

Wait paul did what? When was this???

[@brandondann3514]

@James Dazhong Cook lmfao, us humans and our egos. Reminds me of that dude who climbed "E11" and got downgraded to E9😬 gotta love it

[@biltongandboba]

Brandon Dann worse than that lol. E12 to E9. And two E10s to E8. But honestly James Pearson is a good dude and fixed his stuff and also went back and did Rhapsody. You should watch the Redemption reel rock film if you haven't already.

[@brandondann3514]

@@biltongandboba ah thats right. And yes i saw it pretty badass, i just couldnt think of his name. But yea that stuff is so fascinating despite the "grading is subjective" shpeel. Also shanti packs 5.13 to a 511😂 i mean a whole 6-7 grades cmone

[@songxu5286]

I thought Giuliano and his camera buddy downgraded it to V2 right after sending

[@nickbalfe4995]

Jesus this footage is so crispy

[@jacobshexladder]

What a masterpiece guys. I really needed this. I've been dying in bed for the past two weeks with non-stop excruciating headaches. This at least gave me 21 minutes of no pain bliss. 🙏 Thank you.

[@alexanderristinmaa]

I’m crying the sound production is so good.

[@masterpropper2485]

Always nice when father and son share the same passion. And hearing the father encouraging his son to give everything on the boulder shows how involved he is.

[@jidoc4877]

i had no idea jimmy was daniel's dad

[@-max6425]

An absolutely amazing video. We really understand the emotions of the climbers and I can not explain why but the way of filming exposes more than in other climbing videos the difficulty of the grades.

[@piotrosc]

The bulder power is amazing but the editing of the video is simply genious... There is so much vibe in this video...

[@matthewsevers5862]

Daniel at 17:48 is why I love climbing so much. “We’re here, we’re here, breathing mountain air. Watching people climb rocks.” It’s the best.

[@fouglasdir]

Wow! Well done! Love the culmination off the wagon and the music, so good!

[@drglobule8a]

Picking Bach's air as a backdrop to Off the Wagon was the ballsiest move I've seen in a climbing video in a long time.

[@franzva8636]

the tempo and cinematogrophy is just incredible

[@the061PUNK]

A new milestone in bouldering movies !!!

[@josephyoung7564]

Beautifully done. This might be the magnum opus for bouldering and Mellow.

[@0027lucas]

Amazing movie, moves and sound , good job

[@alexandreevrard9219]

Best bouldering video I've ever seen. The struggle and then the send. With Bach in the background of course

[@zachcampbell8844]

I like the Between the Trees throwback, "scrambled it like it was an egg."

[@AndrewFoster]

I love the music. This edit is like a meditation. Beautiful!

[@CollinGill7]

one of the best climbing videos ive ever seen, so beautiful and so inspiring

[@eddynavarro8526]

I love that there is failing and falling because most videos just show us the send and never really get yo witness or admire the real hard work that goes into each climb....great job mellow

[@zjw5]

Beautiful how supportive of each other everyone is

[@oskarbremer5406]

What a story arc, filming was great, music was superb and lastly the boulders were insane

[@PaulHobbs23]

Incredible composition and storytelling through video. And yeah the climbing got me stoked and stroked as well

[@svenningen]

The cuts, the videography and the climbing. We've reached perfection.

[@jperdomo1980]

Really nice film! Hypnotic. I enjoyed how it highlighted the hard work put in.

Gorgeous film.

The editing makes this just captivating

[@williamburechailo1454]

So well done guys! Bravo 👏🏻 keeping the psych alive and well.

[@thorna100]

Haha I started the video thinking it was about failing and I felt normal for once. Then they sent everything at the end 😂😂

[@sapereaude4706]

You really put Bach in there, i am so satisfied.

[@BClevs]

Loved it! Especially the 1st 11 minutes of zero soundtrack. Perfect fit

[@Goofygreyhoundgoober]

That was a cool journey of a film. The first 10 minutes I was confused by the jumps between boulders etc and getting frustrated at the lack of context, then in the last 10 minutes it all came together. Well done!

[@KidRivers]

Thank You Cameron! that was sick!!

[@Abracadeez]

All these shots are sick, great video bois

[@chumdm3]

Nice one. Fresh edit too. No music during work seshs' then send music was a nice touch.

Incredible film. Love every aspect of it. The cherry on top would be if you guys got a mini glide-cam!

[@machindrayongya6382]

Makes a filmmaker jealous. Beautiful.

[@joaquincasco89]

at 02:06 it's one of the few angles there are where you can truly comprehend the level of difficulty of this boulder because it really shows how steep it is holy shit. Most videos of that problem don't show it from that perspective.

[@kevinseymour9774]

Such an excellent vid! Keep it up:)

[@jodlos]

It is so good! Cant wait to go to Switzerland Open the borders!

[@tobiasfenkart9892]

Awesome video!!! Would love to see this level of production quality with people that climb beautiful 7c. just catching the vibe, the struggle and the payoff with boulders that people can actually go and repeat after. Just a thought :)

[@newdawnfoundation5237]

Best climbing film I've seen ✊

[@andrewcicciari]

daniels third eye gives him super powers

[@pelayocampomanes]

Unos fenómenos!!

[@rippendale]

ok so about off the wagon - what's up with that wagon? who owns it and leaves it there forever? like does it never get moved and what if it does get moved and/or replaced by a different wagon with different dimensions, does that change the climb? has anybody tried the climb from the ground or would the wagon fall apart if moved or is it not allowed to move it? just feels so nuts to have one of the world's most famous boulders crucially involve a rickety, old, mobile piece of farm utility. Like why don't we open up more climbs like 'off that one branch of that one tree halfway up the rock' etc? sorry my mind is going on a tangent here. just wondering.

[@sevs802]

Thanks for sharing the journey, the struggles and the successes. Seeing both sides of the process makes it that much more motivating for me to keep going on my projects. 11 out of 10.
