Sick climb and story! This sends really makes you want to keep grinding and climbing.
Very strong !! Thank you for not making the film overly dramatic. nice relaxed atmosphere !👍...like climbing should be.. 😉
Massive shout to Marty Hong - always a total pleasure to watch the work of a great filmmaker ✊ I mean, obviously it goes without saying that these guys are incredible to watch climbing at the very high test level…without an excellent storyteller it wouldn’t have such impact as to what they have done. Brilliant stuff
Totally enjoyed every minute. Thank you 💛
i met shawn yesterday and asked him if he thought this or alphane was harder and he said megatron, which is insane considering how long and sustained the difficulty is on alphane... these moves must be REALLY hard
I knew that Megatron has to appear at the end of the video, thank you for not being disappointed. Rip to that fella and rip for bouldering, Shawn's smashing hard
Climbing film of the year for me. Shawn is a legend already and has so much time left to push the limits of climbing. I can't wait to see what their group can cook up.
Super inspiring stuff, Thank-you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing this 🙏
the sunrays during the send were so beautiful
Mega!! Inspiring and mind blowing. Love to see the process
Shawn is unbelievable at bouldering. Developed so quickly and still so young.
It's like a single pitch sport climb on a diagonal! So impressive and just WOW!!!
Beautiful!
Wow great video amazing climb. Watching shawn climb is nothing short of inspiring.
Beyond his incredible climbing, his good attitude is inspiring. Especially when falling off a promising go!
Shawn crushing it and new person, same old mistakes playing in the back is so niceee
missed seeing videos like this in the climbing world !
I love how Sean is so chilled... Great climbing, great video
Shawn is on fire, duuude. So cool to see him happy and syked when coming down from top of the boulder
Great film. Great send. Great climber. Bravo.
Shawn is inspiring man, great send. RIP Megatron
Great film. Good storytelling to really make the viewer feel like they were a part of the process.
The comments about mental aspects of climbing are so true - I've had so many experiences where my body is saying, "meh, probably not going to be the best day of climbing" but I push myself to a better mindspace and end up sending something completely unexpected. Fantastic video and really exciting success for Shawn!
That was incredible. Best send and climbing video I’ve ever seen
If Shawn can send V17 with a shirt on, you don't need to take it off for the pink V2 in the corner.
What an absolut pleasure to watch! Amazing effort and put together so well. Really got me hyped up, emotionally and physically. Absolutelly loved the personal tone to the entire video. Thank you guys! And congrats to you, Shawn. Really inspirational. Cheers
Best piece of filmmaking that really paints a human portrait of projecting. I love the struggle, and the interviews make the boulder project relatable to the non-pro climber. Love the quality! This is the real reel rock! I hope this Portrait style continues.
This was absolutely phenomenal.
Amazing ascent. But what made me comment here is: the video, the music, the atmosphere captured - perfection, beautiful, peaceful.
that made me tingle. especially the look into Chad's freezer.
Basking in that moment and immediately in the back of his mind its time to move forward to a new project. This dude is gonna hit 18
Awesome vid, I was smiling the whole time. Super sick, psyched!
Stellar editing
Great content, inspiring!
Absolutely legendary
Wonderful to watch . Mega Shawn 🔥
Incredible. Truly inspiring, makes me wanna hangboard or something. Congrats Shaun, amazing send and awesome video. 💪
Mad props!
Inspiring and incredible
Legend in the making
absolutely mega, congrats shawn!
mellow crushin it lately. Thanks for the awesome videos!!
Honestly the sun in the send footage gives it a kind of beauty that would have been hard to deliberately replicate .
Another great climbing video. Everything about it is good, backstory, climbing footage (minus the send footage, although I kind of liked the end in the sun which made it more cinematic), editing, and the music. Matty's other video I've seen with Isabelle is also excellent. Please keep them coming.
beast mode Shawn! great vid Matty!
I thought it was beautiful footage with the sun right there! Really set the tone for that accomplishment 😇👏
Quelle année pour Shawn...deux 9a bloc c est du jamais vu !! Si alphane n est pas decoté...ca n enleve rien à cette performance immense . Bravo champion !
one of the sickest lines 🤝💫
Incredible climb, and great video production :)
what a beast - this guy genuinely enjoys the process, respect.
Crazy that climbing had some early starts in Eldo and now has one of the most cutting edge boulders in the entire world. What a place.
Beautifully filmed, beautifully climbed. Shawn's style is subtly different; I'm inclined to describe him as a "wrapper." His whole body seems to just glom onto things, giving his contact strength a sort of directional advantage. Pretty impressive stuff.
freaking inspired right now. Congrats
Truly the definition of Mellow
Congratulations 🤩 I want to be a casual climber style now 🤘Epic video. Awesome video. Thank you for the inspiration!
