La Sportiva climbing athletes Margo Hayes, Paige Claassen and Emily Harrington take a trip to Spain, to explore the abundant sport climbing and deep water soloing that Mallorca offers. Each woman is a "slady" (i.e., lady who slays) in her own rite; each has contributed to the progression of the sport, while continuing to support her fellow slaydies.
Some of the videos lately are of some cool climbing, but then the guys and girls spending the duration of the narration blowing sunshine up each others arses, maybe i'm getting old and grumpy but We already know they're awesome, they're in a la sportiva sponsored video. I'd Much rather listen to them talking about how awesome the climbs are. Apart from that it's a kool video :-)
I've tried twice and failed at about half way. Even turning the sound off and playing some loud music over it doesn't work - as the ever observant Rob Durran says, the editing just too irritating. Having seen some some pretty good CLIMBING videos of each of them separately it seems a shame that La Sportiva (presumably?) want to put such an annoying slant on it. What's wrong with some great climbing footage for a film promoting climbing shoes? Yeah, yeah, old and grumpy...

Way too much talking - couldn’t finish it.
Sieging up a wall, slaydies - the elnglish language is being massacred.
Not to mention some of the most irritatingly edited climbing footage imaginable.......
Can you imagine ever paying a climbing partner a compliment? Whillans will be spinning in his grave.
