Climbing hits the big time! I'm sure all the networks were surprised at all the coverage and how much people were interested in the first Free Ascent of the Dawn Wall recently and are scrambling to get there hands on some rock climbing stuff. Here we go, somebody's getting rich! Coming April 25th here.

Trailer said Saturday April 15th at 8pm (7 Central)! I wonder if they will have to edit anything out for prime time.
Add: 8pm Eastern means it will probably be on at 5pm on the west coast and then at 8pm again on the west coast. Check your local listings for the actual times in your area!

Will they edit?
Of course - they'll edit in a clip of Bear Gryll's drinking pee!

If it's on Discovery, it'll be another useless *reality* show.
The actual climbing content will be minimal - like less than 5% - while conflict and arguments will be magnified.
It'll probably be un-watchable.

Bump. The Discovery Channel is promoting the snot out of this, and it is weeks away. I wonder if they will edit any of the blotter scenes out.

Since my focus is on the Lower Meced Pass Lake event, I saw nothing but pure BS. Sorry that the guys from Sender Films who contacted me never used what I gave them.

Ha ah mouse. They did edit that pic! It was surprising, I watched it here in Puerto Rico and thought it was produced somehow by discovery. Then I saw sender credits and it made sense.

I rather enjoyed it. It seemed fair. Of course I have a bias, but thinking how a non-climber might see this, and how the cult-of-personality plays out in the climbing and real world, how can one show disdain?

I'm in it! Well my truck is, in traffic. I's so thrilled that I got to meet so many of the faces while hanging at the bridge supporting a long rope. Thanks Nanook for your company and the introductions.
A climber groopie.
