Climbing Movie Reviews

I appreciate the idea behind this DVD -- providing basic information about popular climbing spots for average climbers. However, the production quality is extremely low. It looks like a home movie (camera shakes and all) and the editing is pretty bad. It's clear that the makers of this DVD just brought a camera along on their climbing trips but didn't make any special effort to get good angles or climbing footage. It would be much better if there was more climbing and more thought/effort was put into the production.

This video plays great on both my HP desktop and Sony laptop computers. Great aid to finding climbs in the little known Big Bradley area. I found the shots to be very helpful. Also good footage of all NC trailheads. Definitely helpful for people unfamiliar with the local terrain.

This DVD has a lot of good information that shows climbing info that you wouldn't otherwise get unless you regularly climb and get to talk to nomadic climbers. For those of us that have professional jobs and would like to get into the sport, this DVD lets me know where to go, how to get there and how to get around the popular climbs. Safety also seems to be a recurring theme that helped.
