This should be the standard of climbing films. This shows that you don't need the hardest of the hardest boulders to make a sick film. Good lines, good movement, and dope film making is gonna do it.
1 comment for so many times I've seen this masterpiece of hypnotic creative beautifully dark mix of visuals, sounds, emotions and superb uncorrupted climbing wasn't enough for my consciousness, hence writing this one too. Michael and all Tension crew deserves a M views and comms; you got into a new level! ❤🔥
There is something to be said for not just what you climb but how you climb it. Every problem in this film is executed with perfect style. Fluid and smooth with no desperate thrutching and readjusting. Its like the climbers must have done laps on each problem to get the smoothest take. So awesome and masterful.
a standing ovation for this incredible footage! Congratulations, I enjoyed it very much! Finally a climbing video different from the usual and more usual performance video. Fresh, which brings with it a concept, a depth. You have made me want to climb these incredible rocks...
I feel as if the mantel on Stingray encapsulates HP-40 quite well in it's weird/idiosyncratic specificity and funktech. That said, the edit on Skywalker and the clear view straight through the backside of Merlin has gotta be my favorite part. The mood shift in the music as Rosay does God Module was also epic... such a legendary climb. Loved the industrial noir vibe of this film through and through. The Tension crew just doesn't miss.
The transition and music to God Module has to be the sickest intro to a boulder problem. A legendary Litz problem. That name gives scary vibes for Southeastern climbers.
For me either slider or Five - 0 really stuck out as my favorite boulders from the film because well they are both V9/7c which is my redpoint grade and both just look like amazing climbs to get on with such cool sequences. Five - 0 is like so my style with the sloper bumping and the heel hook and compression, makes me want to get out there with my friends and give some goes, so cool. Such a sick film, absolutely love it, gets me so stoked to go try my project in yosemite this weekend. Love it. The camera shots on Merlin are probably my favorite filming of the film because it's just so beautiful with the clear shot through and just yeah. Also the soundtrack is so fitting, it's edited and made and produced so well. Really good job on just everything with this and the climbing is all so good and so strong, gets me so psyched seeing stuff like this.
When I started climbing, Skywalker was one of the first boulders I had ever heard of. Was happy to get completely humbled on it last year. And now because of this film I'm psyched to go back and try it again. Definitely my favorite from this film.
Spent some formative years taking trips to climb at HP40. This was really fun to watch and stirred up lots of memories. I remember trying Mortal Kombat with one thin crashpad and my girlfriend (now wife and mother of our child!!) spotting, hoping not to take the plunge into the pit. Wow, can't wait to return someday, what a special place. Thanks for the rad video.
this is the third time i’ve watched this - the gold standard for climbing videos to come. favorite climb is definitely law dog - since it’s probably the most anti-style for me. watching mike cruise it was super inspiring. thank you tension for keeping my psych alive
After about a minute in to it, I stopped and put it on my TV instead. What an amazing film about one of the best boulder fields on the planet. The odd little chunks of Tool in the soundtrack fit the feel perfectly as well. Bravo!
Love this film because this was where I first started bouldering outside because I live in FL. The rock is so inspiring. God Module has to be my favorite boulder. I gave me my goal to climb v11 one day.
I love getting to see my home state being represented in this amazing production! This was an amazing film and the edit and soundtrack are insane! I definitely would say my favorite boulder at hp40 is MatchMaker!
Whoa the video quality is insaaaane. It feels like the aesthetic quality of even some of the more accessible climbs are really being done justice. Skywalker looked particularly sick imho
Many gems in there, but I always found the features of Bum Boy intriguing and the whole rock of HP40 is very unique. Couldn't help but think that this truly looks like Font of the US!
Hot N Tot is so under the radar and probably the best double digit boulder at Horse Pens. The jump move is actually insanely hard to stick but it's so sick! It's not as famous as God Module but I think its cooler personally. I've done both.
My first and only day at HP40 was last spring. What a humbling experience. I can't wait to get back. Merlin has to be my favorite. What an unreal feature.
Stingray has to be my favorite climb of the video, love a slopey top out! This video has SERIOUSLY encouraged me to get out to HP 40, I live in the south and have never gone just cause I'm cheap.
Ghetto superstar is one of the most inspiring boulder I've seen. Makes me want to book a trip to horse pen 40 next summer. Personnal favorite from this video. I've already heard of HP 40 before but this video truly makes me want to go there asap
Slider is a life lister for me. IMO, the most aesthetic climb in the boulderfield. As someone who started climbing in Florida and ventured to HP40 as one of the closest places to climb, I was always humbled, but always had a blast there. Cannot wait to get back there hopefully sooner rather than later.
You gave us a tough task to pick our favourite boulder problem, everything from easy to difficult is just so good. I'd say Skywalker is my favourite, that gaston move say it all for me. Well done to the crew, this video is SICK. Thanks for reminding us to let go of our ego balloon, sometimes.
My favorite Boulder from the Movie would probably be "Skywalker" - the moves are cool and it looks really fun in general, but especially the aesthetics of this Boulder blows my mind
Speechless. Flawless video victory. God Module was my favorite boulder; beautiful line with Michael’s superb ascent aaaaaand one of the top industrial harsh bands! Hail Tension 🔥🤘🏼
The fact that this is HP40 is auspicious! I loved this perspective of Honky Tonkin' and props for representing women, and on boulder problems that I can see myself on (so great to see a pro film feature the quality boulders that aren't just above V9s). Thanks for doing the contest. 🤞
Tough to pick a favorite boulder. It's probably Mortal Kombat since that was one of my first "i am shitting my pants right now" moments in my climbing career. Absolutely stellar climb.
That rock is so rad! Bum Boy has to be the coolest looking boulder so that'd have to be my favorite. Slider and some others look fun to climb but the rock on Bum Boy is just too sexy to ignore. Gotta make it out there some day!
This is definitely the most unique bouldering film ever and probably my new favorite. It's a work of art, bravo Michael! And also nice that I'm now being able to connect the dots after haring about horse pens a few times and sometimes seeing Boulders that kind of looked font-esque in the US.
This should be the standard of climbing films. This shows that you don't need the hardest of the hardest boulders to make a sick film. Good lines, good movement, and dope film making is gonna do it.
Amen
God module taught me that crimps can be slopers too. My personal favorite boulder.
So sick getting to see climbs I’ve done in a climbing film! Hp40 is a gem to be cherished forever.
Going to drive 1000+ miles to come try some boulder. Not a lot of boulders in East Canada and too much snow right now 🤷♂️
@@marc-olafontaine1575 It’s 100 percent worth it. You’ll never want to go back
Cinematography and sound design are unmatched. God Module looks so damn cool.
I have watched this like 25 times now

Matchmaker because it’s freaking WILD to me. Heinous but I’m in awe!
There is something to be said for not just what you climb but how you climb it. Every problem in this film is executed with perfect style. Fluid and smooth with no desperate thrutching and readjusting. Its like the climbers must have done laps on each problem to get the smoothest take. So awesome and masterful.
I rewatch this like 4 times a week now
Groove Rider. Getting on that with my best friend is still one of my most special memories.
Trick or Treat has such cool features. Definitely my favorite.
fav boulder would be , Slider !
Gotta be skywalker or landslide, two of my all time dream lines
Favorite boulder has to be skywalker cause it’s in my top 10 all time dream list. Maybe the coolest feature in the south or at least top 5.
only been to hp40 for a day once but mulletino looks like such a gorgeous line def my favorite
MIKE YOU ARE ON ONE LETS GOOO
a standing ovation for this incredible footage! Congratulations, I enjoyed it very much! Finally a climbing video different from the usual and more usual performance video. Fresh, which brings with it a concept, a depth. You have made me want to climb these incredible rocks...
Matchmaker looks so sick, especially the drop down move into the crimp
Matchmaker is beyond sick, love a span start
Matchmaker is a stand out being very my style, and super cool being a Jimmy Webb FA. Great film all around
I agree and I think that one has very few repeats. Was psyched to see that one in the film!
the most stylish climbing movie I've ever seen
I feel as if the mantel on Stingray encapsulates HP-40 quite well in it's weird/idiosyncratic specificity and funktech.

Stingray has got to be my favorite, great film too!
God Module is an absolute life lister. Perhaps the best bouldering film I've watched this year, or ever.
God Module looks so rad, would love to get shut down by that beast
EPIC film, Mike. Captures the eerie vibes of HP40 perfectly. Great climb selection also! Killed itttttt
Remember when climbing videos had soundtracks? This soundtrack was 🔥🔥🔥. I'll be spinning up a playlist for sure.
The transition and music to God Module has to be the sickest intro to a boulder problem. A legendary Litz problem. That name gives scary vibes for Southeastern climbers.

This film was so good. I've never climbed in the south but it felt like I was there the entire time watching. Amazing work Michael and Tension crew!
Drew you gotta climb at hp40, best bouldering place hands down.
When I started climbing, Skywalker was one of the first boulders I had ever heard of. Was happy to get completely humbled on it last year. And now because of this film I'm psyched to go back and try it again. Definitely my favorite from this film.

Classic god module has gotta be the star of the video!
this is the third time i’ve watched this - the gold standard for climbing videos to come. favorite climb is definitely law dog - since it’s probably the most anti-style for me. watching mike cruise it was super inspiring. thank you tension for keeping my psych alive
The editing on this is outstanding
Knew it was gonna be good when you showed us some clips at the beginning of this year, but God damn... So fucking good.
God module lookin’ 🤌🤌
Top notch everyone. Top freaking notch!!!
my favorite climbing location ever. absolutely beautiful location and amazing climbing. shoutout the schultz family!
After about a minute in to it, I stopped and put it on my TV instead. What an amazing film about one of the best boulder fields on the planet. The odd little chunks of Tool in the soundtrack fit the feel perfectly as well. Bravo!
Love this film because this was where I first started bouldering outside because I live in FL. The rock is so inspiring. God Module has to be my favorite boulder. I gave me my goal to climb v11 one day.
"Slider" is a striking line. Looks like some incredibly satisfying movement.
Great white looks so rad. What cool unique movements.
Never seen a V3 give so many strong climbers a run for their money! Gotta love those southern slopers ❤
Skywalker is insane. This film is too! Every aspect of it is perfect!
Five - 0 is such a font-esque line - this is a worldclass venue to visit, for sure
Love the trippy music/vibe of this edit
One of the best climbing films I've ever seen!
wonderful showcase of a beautiful area
favorite boulder has to be five-0, what a dope feature!
Matchmaker looks sick
Well this is incredible!
Great video! Matchmaker looks so sick, definitely my favorite in the vid
I love getting to see my home state being represented in this amazing production! This was an amazing film and the edit and soundtrack are insane! I definitely would say my favorite boulder at hp40 is MatchMaker!

Many gems in there, but I always found the features of Bum Boy intriguing and the whole rock of HP40 is very unique. Couldn't help but think that this truly looks like Font of the US!
Hot N' Tot looks like an absolute banger
Hot N Tot is so under the radar and probably the best double digit boulder at Horse Pens. The jump move is actually insanely hard to stick but it's so sick! It's not as famous as God Module but I think its cooler personally. I've done both.
Hot N' Tot definitely my favorite short but intense beautiful video by the way
Bum Boy is my fav, I've seen so many send variations of this boulder over the years. I like that it goes for so many types of ppl.
My first and only day at HP40 was last spring. What a humbling experience. I can't wait to get back.
Merlin has to be my favorite. What an unreal feature.
Stingray has to be my favorite climb of the video, love a slopey top out! This video has SERIOUSLY encouraged me to get out to HP 40, I live in the south and have never gone just cause I'm cheap.
God I want Stringray so bad. These southern mantles got me droolin'

PHENOMENAL climbing film. beautiful beautiful work.
Stingray is definitely my favorite boulder!
Now we know what it would look like if the creators of Dark from Netflix made a bouldering film. Huge props Michael and crew!
Ghetto superstar is my favorite looking boulder. The moves look flowy and the holds look so nice
Ghetto Superstar is an all time classic. This film really pushes the level of climbing videos. Great work!
My favorite boulder is definitely Bum Boy, can't beat those shapes
My favorite Boulder from the Movie would probably be "Skywalker" - the moves are cool and it looks really fun in general, but especially the aesthetics of this Boulder blows my mind
Skywalker is god damn beautiful !
Speechless. Flawless video victory. God Module was my favorite boulder; beautiful line with Michael’s superb ascent aaaaaand one of the top industrial harsh bands! Hail Tension 🔥🤘🏼
Mortal Kombat is my favorite, such a beautiful line worthy of being the cover on a coffee table book or a mantle piece picture.
Stingray is sick. Represents all the things I’m bad at in climbing
The fact that this is HP40 is auspicious! I loved this perspective of Honky Tonkin' and props for representing women, and on boulder problems that I can see myself on (so great to see a pro film feature the quality boulders that aren't just above V9s). Thanks for doing the contest. 🤞
God Module was my fav because the name and the editing of this video reminded me of one of my favorite shows: Dark.
Great White, what a line
Wow looks amaaaazing🤩
Bumboy was my favorite boulder. What a sick one!
Best climbing edit I’ve ever seen
Skywalker's wave-like shapes is kind of crazy! A tremendous film: psyched to get outside asap!
Tough to pick a favorite boulder. It's probably Mortal Kombat since that was one of my first "i am shitting my pants right now" moments in my climbing career. Absolutely stellar climb.
hot n’ tot stands out. great boulder and even better camerawork
That rock is so rad! Bum Boy has to be the coolest looking boulder so that'd have to be my favorite. Slider and some others look fun to climb but the rock on Bum Boy is just too sexy to ignore. Gotta make it out there some day!
Mega inspiring 🙌🤩
Sick film with so many good looking boulders. Skywalker though, that is the top of the list for me.
This is definitely the most unique bouldering film ever and probably my new favorite. It's a work of art, bravo Michael!
And also nice that I'm now being able to connect the dots after haring about horse pens a few times and sometimes seeing Boulders that kind of looked font-esque in the US.
Bum Boy is my favorite. Such a wild looking boulder.
Trippiest climbing video i've seen, god module seems like a good climb for your ego to die on
Bum Boy definitely stood out!! Such beautiful and unique shapes. Would get anyone inspired. 🔥
Sting Ray. That mantle looks insane.
Skywalker looks unreal. What a great film
Illusions look really sick.
Would love that hangboard
Merlin is my favorite for sure, doesn’t hurt me too bad and is the most perfectly named boulder.
Stingray was my favorite boulder. that lock off is insane!!
Slider's my fave, and that guy walked it like a warm-up. Great film!
Skywalker looked sick!
Skywalker was soooo sick! and the general boulder formation surround it... wow
Great White was my favorite, what a feature!
God Module is probably my favorite of the film. Really like the aesthetics and the music choice
