I guess telling a story aided by pictures would be a little bit easier, but Kelsey already did a great job. Here it is from my perspective. Thanx to Kels for the beautiful 7D and aquatic go pro footage.

Also, heres a link to Kels' trip report with beautiful photos.

Thanks for that. I have a GoPro setup being delivered today. Your video makes me all the more anxious to play with my new toy!

Thanks.

I like the 'camera close to the ground' shots, and driving with the camera outside the car.

Nice tunes, too.

Very cool video and editing. My favorite part was the Sierra Nevada being consumed while laying down and resting. Beer tastes the best when you're exhuasted from climbing. Thanks for the TR.

thanx for the comments, guys. The vid really only touches on a few of the highlights. prezwoodz did a great job of covering how the trip unfolded in his TR.

Awesome job guys, but I just cant get into the beenie in hot weather and the straw hat look. Aside from those two glaring deficiencies it was a great video and made me wish I were in the valley right now.

Hmm, wardrobe wasn't really on my mind during the trip. I guess I should focus on looking and dressing like other climbers instead of trying to learn more and better my own climbing. I'll have to put up a post for Leo Holding telling him to stop wearing that exact type of straw hat because it's so unclimber-like. Thanx for the tips!

The hat was supposed to make me climb harder/smarter.

A lot of the GoPro vids make me dizzy and sick to watch but a lot of the rest of it was real nice. You guys really put some effort into filming your trip! I just got a video camera and I'll be impressed with myself if I can produce something 1/10th as nice!

thanx, man. yeah, a few of the panning shots are shakey and I limited the amount of stabilization to try and salvage image quality. I tried to keep the camera going as much as possible. prezwoodz leads pretty much everything, so I figure i'll do my best to document. thanx for the props.

And personally, I like that straw hat...
