The RED ONE is a $25,000 digital camera that has inarguably started a revolution in digital cinema–a machine noted as one of the most significant American inventions of the 21st century. That’s why my title is funny.

Consequently, I must apologize for the send footage; it’s not exactly up to LT11 production value standards, but if Lukas Cassick wasn’t such a stud on his iPhone (THANKS), these moments–pretty hysterical looking back–would quickly fade away like another silver string of forgotten memories in Dumbledore’s Pensieve.

Anyway, after four days of work this season and a few other random “touch-and-feels” last year, I climbed Roses and Blue Jays out in Great Barrington, MA, over the weekend–a boulder problem that I pretty much never thought I would do. I realize that this kind of send for the typical full-time, pro-elite-extra-alluminum-alloyed-finger-tinkers is no big deal; yet another pop-corn cornel in the old butter bucket.

But for me, as a once or twice a month weekend warrior, this boulder problem is one to be remembered. I wanted it bad. I needed it–even more than Ondra needs a Big Mac. SO. MUCH. FUN. I ended up falling on the top-out four times in one hour before sending. It stung real deep like. Hence, the frustrations verbalized in this video. Thanks STONELICK for the brand new pads–a massive BOOM ROYALE and convenient FLIP.

Neil Mushaweh. You’re the best. LATAH.
