A good example of how to make a bad climbing documentary, sensationalist, biased and with a dark perspective on the composition. One perspective of so many that can be had by observing any sport, if you are a dark person you will pay attention to this, if you are otherwise you will pay attention to many other things and will compose a good example of a good documentary of any sport competition.

The drama and competitiveness was a big over-egged if you ask me and only non-athletes voicing those thoughts but I loved the emotions. Thank you for giving us such an raw and honest look behind the curtains Jenya and Alannah!

@Rocky-k6z5kIt’s really a shame to put so much drama and so little climbing in a documentary about… climbing. We barely see the athletes doing their moves and performances. Very very disappointing
@pleypley7They should go more outdoor climbing to reconnect themself with the roots of this beautiful sport.
@paulheimwehThank you Steve! ❤
@tarot_esoterica_with_erinThere’s a one minute ad every 3 minutes in this video. What is this unwatchable garbage?
@MKW_K9This video just made me understand how annoying Jenya is
@wongrajon5474obsessed with how they chose to introduce janja
@Lena-tk7lmBest comp climbing docu out there.
@SM-sg9emThis video leaves such a bad message about sports and climbing community. I can understand that high levels sports comes with high level competition, but its another thing entirely to portrait climbers as enemys, or like janja is portrayed in this docummentary. National Geographic could treat this docummentary hoever they wanted, and they choosed a reality tv aproach that is negative for sports, commaraderie and, ultimatly, love for sports and community. Awful piece of media.
@joacochacothank you fo diz, natgeo.
🥰🤌😘
oh wow jellybean.
as a non-athlete, diz was totally and incredibly inspirin' to watch.
da almost unbearable pressure dey put on themselves tho.
anyhoo, we totallytotallyTOTALLY stan these awesomazing peepz.
you're also climbin' everest after class ayt???
yesh. datz da spirit.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
kweeeeeeeeeeeeeen lakhpa sherpa shall meet yo at da top.
🤍🤣🤗💎🌟💯💚
Honestly, I am not a big fan of the documentary's style. Matt Groom is always overacting with his exaggerated facial expression (1:04 for example) and over-excited statements, the music score is overly dramatic, the narrative tells a story which is in huge part not backed up by the footage we see. I am not saying the climbing scene is just a bunch of good friends, nobody cares who is winning and everybody is just having a good time, either. I feel like this documentary was pitched in a certain way and then they had to stick to it although it doesn’t give the best result. I still enjoy the insights and most of the footage, but the editing style is…not my taste, to say the least offending.
@IndividualNamePlease don't stop making these! Such a great series
@victorvieira7469This is awesome!!! I climbed as a younger. Nowadays disc golf os my love. I've caddied for a lot of women that are way better than I ever was!!!
@stevefranke3985This is awesome!!! I climbed as a younger. Nowadays disc golf os my love. I've caddied for a lot of women that are way better than I ever was!!!
@stevefranke3985Drive to Survive, but climbing version
@FeFinottoOh drama, the magic seasoning of film production.
@jusssimplycantWe need to get away from this nationality thinking. we need to see just the people. we climb together on one planet. nations are just constructions in our heads. 🏴
@tomega4967So glad such documentaries are finally being made for this sport!
@ghinwamoujaes9059thank's a lot
@henripoulet1740Espidie 3
@sergiorclmbng2888Phenomenal series, and props to the editor on this episode!
@cocapoolaThank you so much for these grate content. amazing footage and story telling. Climbing is a very big futuristic sport.
@danielduranduran-g1qGreat video I thoroughly enjoyed it. I appreciate highlighting that all competitors feel the stress.
@patrickgoogle4011I really think that this kind of "Drive to Survive" note that this documentary has does not represent the climbing I know... Yes it is a sport and athletes want to win, but it is not the hunger games and kindness and humility are still values of this sport, which I don't see depicted here.
@gsd1994-u6xthis is currently the best video about modern climbing on the internet (I've seen them all)
@snakejazz5980this is what we needed after this season of comps
@fx__________I really don’t like the over enthusiastic narration.
@niczzzsFantastic! It's so moving to see a wide array of emotions beautifully and authentically depicted against the broad drama of the Bern World Championship comp. Especially interesting to watch the BTS a year later, after the Paris Olympics. ❤
@SylviologyThis is a show, that I really liked to see. But I don’t like Disney. It’s so bad that we can’t see National Geographic in another Chanel.
@arquidelphosI hate when politics and sports get mixed up... plus the drama...
