Holy shit, the production quality of this is amazing. Sitting on my couch I got the feeling I was in Finland enjoying that amazing nature... Thanks guys!

Jim's enthusiasm for the place is so contagious! And the photography is so superb it almost makes you wanna cry.

I kept thinking "what a nice looking pla... wait I live here dammit!" 😄. It's sometimes hard to see the forest for the trees, certainly made me psyched for the spring season. Top quality 👌.

@WEDGECLIMBING 7 месяцев назад

Thanks! Haha it's definitely true. I get like that with places in the UK too. Sometimes it's good to see these places from another perspective 💪

@saketssss 7 месяцев назад

This video gives Finland the respect it never asked, but always deserved. Also shows what one of a kind visionary Nalle is in the climbing world. Huge thanks for this high quality video, I humbly ask for more as soon as possible

@kavali6320 7 месяцев назад

This was exquisite. Filming, edit and music choice. Aidan and Jim created some precious memories there. They transferred their enthusiasm right through the screen. Foraging, taking photos, cooking and some impressive climbing. Can't wait for the next episode.

Thank you. It is so refreshing to see a climbing film that is aesthetically beautiful. From the scenery footage to the calm music. Beautiful climbing and good voiceovers 🙏🙏🙏 the quality of the production really stands out from all the other climbing vids you see these days. Happy that you enjoyed my home country.

@WEDGECLIMBING 7 месяцев назад

@lucascheid2372 6 месяцев назад

Too often climbing content focuses entirely on the hardest climbs and purely the process of projecting and the try-hard but for me climbing is about beauty - the beauty of the rock, the location, the friends you're with... Obviously just focusing on Aidan on Burden would have been the way to get the most views but thanks for showing off all aspects of this place and the trip. More of this!

@WEDGECLIMBING 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I was a bit worried that people would only be interested in burden, I'm glad that's not the case 😁

@jarfrobinksss 6 месяцев назад

it's reaaaalllly satisfying to finally watch climbing vids that aren't trashed by gansta rap or hip hop crapping all over it, along with all the obligatory tourette's-level "c'mawnnn"s, "niiiice" or "lets fucking go"s that's way too common now. Thanks guys, quality stuff and actually is "mellow"...unlike other channels ;)

@backgroundkiller 6 месяцев назад

The video quality, the dynamic of the two and the soundtrack are breathtaking! Sometimes I really have the feeling that pro climbing videos display a whole lot of suffering/self deprecation and anger - which is in the heat of the moment very understandable. But seeing more gentle people moving up the climbs is such a nice change of pace

@WEDGECLIMBING 6 месяцев назад

I usually don't comment on RU-vid videos but the appreciation and love you guys show for nature and the environment in addition to the absolute insane bouldering and the quality of this video just gave me goose bumps throughout the entire video. Easily one of the best productions I've seen on RU-vid. If only all pro athletes could care as much for our planet. Keep up the amazing work and thanks a lot

@WEDGECLIMBING 6 месяцев назад

@Mitzbergatc 7 месяцев назад

Im normally bored with bouldering videos after 3 minutes, but I thoroughly enjoyed this to the point of thinking os probably the best I've watched to date. The production, music, script... It's sll so class. None of that "yeah bro! Sick dude! Fucking send, yeah!" kind of abnoxious nonesense

@WEDGECLIMBING 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant video again. I’m intrigued to see how Burden comes along. I’m also intrigued by the fact that sometimes Aidan seems to be a curious cross between Michelangelo’s David and Mr Bean 🙂

Hands down one of the best climbing films that I've seen (and I've watched many hehe). The quality of the filming and editing is SUPERB and the boulders look incredibly inspiring. Thank you for sharing the joy and magic of climbing (and foraging, and exploring) in Finland! Can't wait for pt2!

Thank you for this love letter to my home country. The quality of production is unbelievable, including the storytelling and the pacing. I'd love you to come back in the summer, and try Punkaharju dws in Lake Saimaa. Nalle wrote that Kesäturkki 8c is the best dws route he's climbed. It starts from a sauna raft and is about 16m high/long.
