I think I know what you mean. Didn't bother me as much as it seems to have bothered you however. Probably sounds much better in real life.
As for the film, I have to say, it wasn't amazing. It wasn't awful by any stretch, but it wasn't that great either. I really didn't think much of Nesscliff as a venue and the routes there looked dull. Chalk or not, E8 onsight and then an E9 (onsight? headpoint, it didn't say) is impressive. I do agree with the comments about the Cad. I'd never heard of it before and it looked awful as a route. Could have done with a couple of words about why it's such a big deal.
On the other side, the Pembroke section was great. Really enjoyed the section of Hansjorg climbing there. His opinion of Strawberries was quite amusing really. Initially he was quite lukewarm about it, but once he'd done it, he seemed a bit happier. Probably due to the way everyone seems to have hyped that route up. I reckon it's just a mental battle these days. It's got such a rep that you've got to battle that first.
I liked the lack of hype. I thought the mix of climbers was great and they were all interesting to listen to. It was nice to see them all taking big falls on routes. Especially Hazel!
However I'm quite glad it was free, think if I'd paid climbing film prices for that I'd've been mildly unimpressed. I will probably buy it eventually as I'm a sad collector like that.
