Nice! Great way to do a TR.
I'm sure The Chief will be proud.

It's good. Thanks for not using a go pro wobbling around on your helmet.
I thought the section starting at 1:33 was cool.

Yes, I watched it to the end. I thought you did a good job. Always nice to see top down shots.
Overall, a good job. Unfortunately, climbing videos are not as dynamic as mountain biking, or kayaking videos.

That was good!!!
It had everything in it.
Post holing deep snow to the climb and spin drift avalanche to scare.
Good job it's a real nice video and high quality.

Good job. I liked your music enough to wish you had put the artist and title in the credits.

Slower and steadier panning would help.
And can the talking, or get a better script. ;-)
Overall: B+

Good job. Editing is key to these things. I have made a few climbing and Burning Man films and spent a lot of time fine tuning things.
One thing I do when shooting multi pitch rock climbs is to go with a party of 3 and the 2nd and 3rd simulclimb all pitches. When I am not leading I climb 2nd and for good close up film ops will clip off to pro and film the 3rd climbing through interesting sequences. Email me if you want copies of my films

Posting some more photos into it would be good, I think. Like a two photo sequence of you getting blasted with snow, more pics from the climb, and a few from the summit/sunset. That place is awesome! But yea, the video is pretty good the way it is. If you add all that maybe it would not go as well with music etc?

Sorry man, I'm sure it is entertaining... but there is white stuff in there so I refuse to watch out of general principle.

Wes.. Lol!!
I liked it. The talking did run long at one point, but i always think it's cool to hear people's perspectives. It was cool to see vitaly for the first time! ;)
As to what i would have liked to have seen, i thought you covered the bases pretty well. If you have some nice scenic photos that would be cool to add. It really depends what you want to show. A quick shot of camp life is always cool.
Overall B+ I was never bored. Very nice work.

No camp shots. We climb in a push! Run the PDL and really go for it.

Saw this on MP and was surprised to actually like it! I was expecting helmet cam and minute long scenes like most videos.
Great job with the sound and overall editing, it's a really good video.
I don't know what I'm talking about, but here's my two cents: Some of the scenes in the middle got a little long. If you mix in some quick clips or time lapses or photos that go with some of the beats in the song (between longer scenes) it will keep the pace up. It's all preference of course, but it seems to keep people's attention better that way. Look at your stats on youtube and it will tell you where most people quit watching and it gives an idea of where it slowed down too much. Some old farts with long attention spans might disagree, but it's all just opinion and there's no "right" way.
Here's what I mean. Not saying this video I made is any good, but it's just an example of what I'm talking about.

Definitely a cool video! Except next time make Vitaliy take a giant whipper for our viewing pleasure.

This... this is climbing!
Loved it, I know how difficult it can be to try to whip out a camera to get anything noteworthy in the mountains. Not only that but to get great shots of the leader with fun dialogue... 10/10.
