Here's what I told Bolas on MySpace: "I told a friend's 5 year old daughter to "get used to it" when she unexpectedly received some liquid to the face when she was cracking open bottles of beer for us at the DZ tiki bar. Yeah, a little inappropriate but it was funny as hell. :-)~ "Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_ung 0 #17 December 16, 2008 I've seen it. Speaking from a climber's perspective, the angle, e.g., exploring what the "sharp end," means to various disciplines, felt contrived. However, the cinematography was hands down the best I've ever seen. And I've seen a lot. Peter Mortimer is a film maker at the absolute top of his game -- and the entire industry. The footage of Dean Potter BASE-soloing (climbing unroped with only a BASE rig to protect him if he falls) is nothing short of stunning, both visually and conceptually. For those not up on the lingo, "the sharp end" is the end of the rope you're tied into when lead climbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did it feel contrived? A little ... It might have felt more contrived but as a climber I've always thought of "the sharp end" as being the place where your mind and body have to be sharp (focused only on the task at hand) which does carries over into the other the disciplines.
