Seriously wtf

[@OldSchoolClimber]

Thanks for offering this awesome vertical history, and just wish you had shot Scott Cosgrove on this topic and era and if you did, would love to see it too if possible. Cool to see Ethan Pringle at such a young age. I've been playing with enhancing old climbing footage I shot ages ago and while I haven't mastered it, think Topaz for video is cool. Understand the frustration of loosing raw footage but from the ashes the phoenix shall arise Under Construction. Cool title too.

[@damoncorso]

@@OldSchoolClimber thanks for the kind words! This is what will keep me going. I got more footage I’ll be dropping. Unfortunately I never got to meet Scott Cosgrove, there are a lot of old school hard men I never crossed paths with unfortunately, but they inspired all of us. I will look into topaz since all my old editing software is out of date and won’t work on my current laptop.

[@aristidecipriano5046]

thanks for the uplaod

[@damoncorso]

@@aristidecipriano5046 absolutely! The responses from the community inspire me to continue the dig into the archives and to make some new edits from RAW tapes I still have. Just downloaded DaVinci Resolve so I can do some real editing.

Wow what a cool to Boulder to have just rolled out of a wall lol

@@sibrilliant it was pretty wild to be in barker dam around that time and watch this king line become a reality

Is this part of a longer movie? Awesome to see the backstory of this legendary problem!

[@damoncorso]

@@1c3M0nk3y it was intended to be a feature length film, but we lost all the raw footage in a massive hard drive failure. The recovery attempt was expensive and unsuccessful, truly heartbreaking. All we were left with was low rez unfinished clips that had no cohesion. Figured I’d release what I have now that I’m over the heartbreak 😅

[@jonas223xc3]

@@damoncorso that is SO SAD :(

[@coleman7931]

Is this the first time it’s been put out?

[@damoncorso]

@@coleman7931 yep….. figured better late than never.

What does chossy mean?

@@wilzhu6153 not solid rock

[@wilzhu6153]

@@damoncorso oh thank you! I couldn’t find it on Google for the longest time. What is the etymology of this word? I always thought it meant chalky/mossy haha

[@damoncorso]

@@wilzhu6153 it’s just slang that climbers use, I don’t think I’ve ever heard another group of folks use it to describe anything.

[@wilzhu6153]

@@damoncorso so curious as to the origin of the slang!
