Love how distinctive Cedar's music is. There's an interesting effect in films where he's directing and doing the music, it's like you zone out and zone in at the same time in the climbing interludes, aided by the music and the outré visuals. Find the musical style soothing because it's pretty similar to what my brain is doing all the time, things going on in multiple layers. An agreeable balance between background and stimuli.
Holy shit Cedar, I walk into this video and just see a bunch hatin' wieners in the comments! Thanks for putting this out there and giving us some much needed inspiration to get back out and get back to sending! cheers!
Sebastian Flynn The presentation of the video in general is a little off. Honnold looks like he’s in front of a badly keyed green screen and the head room is off. The climbing is great though.
so sick. Makes me proud of Squamish, Canadians like the crusher Sonnie and the climbing, surf, snow, dirt and adventure world as a whole. Some bad ass days have gone down in BC , much under the radar while cars drive past.....
Hey Cedar, I saw somewhere that you have the speed record on the Royal Arches... 45-ish minutes round trip? I'm curious how you did it? I get that free soloing up is the method, but did you solo downclimb too, bring a rope to rap down, or was it a base jumping thing (would that even be a legit thing)?
What kind of shoes was he wearing? the amount of trust he was able to put on them, i think i've only seen Alex Honnold or Tommy Caldwell put that kind of trust into shoes, and those were TC Pros.
@Cedar Wright, Keep putting out this great stuff! I respect @EverythingViral for his opinion, glad there's a platform for voicing opinions but I enjoy your content - keep up the stellar work!
@@CedarWright look man, it's how i felt the music. maybe it's good, i'm not a critic, i'm just a listener. maybe it was the mixing between dialogue and music that scratched my ears, i don't know. on the other hand, i bought all your movies, and enjoyed every time i watched them.so don't be so defensive. i'm a fan. (of course this does not mean i'm entitled to be rude) but i cannot give you a constructive feedback because my background is not music. i gave a raw feeling. sorry if it wasn't the expected reaction.
Guys, I mean is this at all moral? I'm talking about the free soloing part. Don't you feel guilty that you could inspire someone to do something like that?
I think the threat of serious injury is enough for people to stay within their lane. No V5 limit climber sees this and thinks "wow I want to solo that" they think "holy shit that's terrifying I'd die if I did that." But a V10 climber who could use it as a warmup may go try it because they know they could do it and would likely be perfectly fine. The video doesn't cause people to suddenly take out of the ordinary risks
@@RedX2276 you make an interesting point, but I'm not talking about this route specifically, I'm talking about inspiring someone to free solo in general. What's to stop a young climber saying, look how cool these guys are! I wanna be like that
@@joseflittle4493 I'm very late to the discussion but one good argument is that climbing is inherently difficult. The routes featured in these free solo movies are way too hard for a beginner to even get high enough to hurt themselves if they fall.

Amazing stuff. I remember being young and fit and the burn clock running slowly. I get pumped drinking coffee these days.
Haha, Sonnie's awesome. I love his "humble but making it look like easy style"! Gem!
great music
Awesome video and climbing
Da man! Always been one of my favorite climbers.
Holy shit Cedar, I walk into this video and just see a bunch hatin' wieners in the comments! Thanks for putting this out there and giving us some much needed inspiration to get back out and get back to sending! cheers!
Great vid Cedar, love your work.
Good old school Sonnie. Thanks Cedar.
Isn't Squamish magical? Drove 50 hours across Canada to get there this summer. Worth it.
Fuck that lol
@@Josh-wb7ii You'd be hard pressed finding better bouldering than squamish.
Yosemite quality granite with joshua tree density.
Movie AND MUSIC by Cedar??
William Long yes... haha! I’ve actually been messing around in the studio again! Making more weird stuff!
@@CedarWright Nice music!
@@CedarWright that's awesome, I really liked the music! Keep doing it!!
Sick feature Cedar. Very authentic.
Weird audio mixing mid climb, only heard sonnie out of the left channel but music through both.
Sebastian Flynn
The presentation of the video in general is a little off. Honnold looks like he’s in front of a badly keyed green screen and the head room is off.
The climbing is great though.
@@bizmonkey007 Hey Guys... yeah... this was in my progression phase of filmmaking...not polished...but still with a certain charm.
Cedar Wright
It's all good, man. Thank you for making it.
@@CedarWright What is the music? It's killer, as is the footage.
Missing climbing in Squamish, hopefully times will change and we can travel. Granite addiction!
Squampton is cool but lets get real, it rains half the year there. Great rock and access tho.
Rain day train day
"I warmed up and I got worn out at the same time."
Badass.
So good
so sick. Makes me proud of Squamish, Canadians like the crusher Sonnie and the climbing, surf, snow, dirt and adventure world as a whole. Some bad ass days have gone down in BC , much under the radar while cars drive past.....
Thanks for the good video :-)
I like how when Sonnie intros himself at the beginning, it's like he fogot his last name for just a second. LOL
Canada's hero
ouch, I recognize that route, wasn't sure if it was climbable. Perfect spot; climbing in the winter?
Is this an unreleased promo from 1995?
Does he hold the rope away from the rock to preserve the sheath?
What a total fucking badass! 👊
Great vid👍
Awesome! Is there, by chance a longer or even uncut Version of the send somewhere available?
Whats the French rating for this?
Sonnie certainly gets down to business.
awesome

Cedar can please answer this or make a Video about this Speed record?
Man, I wish I went there when I was a bit younger. Are there many moderates there? (5.8 - 5.10)
It's a great area for moderate trad single and multi-pitch!
there are tons and tons of world class perfect moderates there

@@Zzzzzzzzzzzzjjjj I've never seen a video of Steve McClure with tightened laces
It's the 5.10 anasazis
Where is the solo?
V5 highball hahaha
No helmet will always be stupid, even if the climbing is sick (which it is).
trad climbing whit a hat, ok
That was easily one of the worst songs I've ever heard.
Jesus christ I was begging for some melodic variation at least, scrolled down and laughed my ass off at your comment
@@tylerlego41 Hha! Glad it made you and @BLuNTED ReALiTY laugh!
Glad you hated it. Choke on something soon.
@@CedarWright What a mature response. All the thumbs ups and similar comments lead me to believe I'm not the only one who thinks that.
@Cedar Wright, Keep putting out this great stuff! I respect @EverythingViral for his opinion, glad there's a platform for voicing opinions but I enjoy your content - keep up the stellar work!
He chops bolts and thinks everyone should climb in the same style he does. Dislike like him very much.
Good. Style first.
Man, the music is so bad. You cannot even call it music. It's more like torture.
mircea craciun hey... thanks for the constructive feedback. Music is one of those divisive things I guess. Kindly suck it.
