Good video, the history is fantastic, the legend...

Brilliant video! Pretty inspiring, never heard Rich talking about climbing much before but he seems like he has a great attitude and really appreciates the history, makes for interesting listening.

The only downer was it was a little corny and hard to watch on the sleeping/dreaming bit.

Awesome, Thanks for sharing. Really good stuff, especially the history and mystique of the route. I thought the dream/sleep sequence was ok, and think film making is better if you take risks and try something fun like that- Also a good tribute to the Stone Monkey beginning.

Amazing video! I like looking at videos that motivate me climbing more and more. And this is one of them. It reminds me a bit of Chris Sharma in Dosage 4 on Dreamcatcher.
I just send the link to some of my non-climbing friends to explain them what it takes on body and mind to climb your dream route. Maybe it helps explaining about my dreams and missions... :)
Keep climbing and keep on making this nice videos!

Many Probs to you man! Quite astonnishing effort topush that far!

nice work chris, I like it a lot.

Great video! Had me sucked in until the very end.

Most inspiring.
Thanks for sharing!
:-)

Great video, and brilliant brilliant climbing.

Brilliant video!

One of the nicest vids ever! I love it to watch him at training!!! Still amazing...

One of the most inspiring videos for hard climbing--a great story about some one working to achieve his goals. With that said, why doesnt simpson resolve the debate taking place in the climbing community concerning his achievements? A mere statement would alleviate (or solidify) the allegations brought towards him, and do a great deal towards setting things right.

.... ???

Either way, this is a very awesome video. Nice work!

It's quite interesting to watch this video after reading all the going ons. He seems quite capable but at the same time the amount of editing in the final send is curious. It appears that this was a one camera shoot but the camera is moved into multiple angles. It's sad that this has come into dispute. Makes one wonder. That said I myself have sent hard boulders by myself. Hard being hard for me. I guess people believing me is of no matter because of the lack of cutting edgeness.

Hence it saying edited ascent shown...

Chris, If you were there filming surely you could clear this all up and give the name of the Action Directe belayer and other people who saw the send, because it is really horrible to see a really high class climber fall into disrepute :(

Come on Chris, spill the beans. Was it all a big lie?? Surely you want to clear Rich Simpson's name?

It certainly seems (from watching the last section) that he really did the route. Interesting choice of editing technique if that wasn't the case!

I don't know why you don't just tell the truth.

For gods sake if you're so bothered by this i suggest you spend some time reading the many pages i have contributed to this saga on the net. Why do you presume i have all the answers, i wasn't there (surely i would have posted the actual ascent footage if i had been!). Don't you think if i had any concrete evidence about Action i would have made it public. It says edited ascent above cos thats what it is. I wasn't there when he did it and am tired of adressing this issue.

Fair play. Have read a few articles and never seen any comments from you, I will look further.

The only reason i care, is because his achievements were really motivated me to climb harder. Sorry for assuming.
