I can feel a parody video coming on...

Close up shots of sweaty hands, the woman takes a slow breath, zoom in on her closing her eyes, she stretches her fingers...

Black screen with caption-

"Months of effort"

"Hundreds of hours of hard work"


"Comes down to this"


She breathes out, opens her eyes and steps forward. Psyching herself up she reaches behind her and pulls out...




Her credit card. Puts it in the machine, types her PIN and pays.

In reply to UKC/UKH Articles: An entirely new bullshit concept, the Arakys video combines all the bullshit of a normal video with the inspired extra of nothing actually happening in the video.

"the first ultra-light approach shoe designed for both indoor and outdoor climbers"

Does anyone else buy approach shoes for walking to their indoor centre?

I liked the part of the video where they end up at their personal projects. Probably didn't need quite so much directive indulgence before that.

Advert is pants. Branding wank.

But at 1:00 in.. Anyone else notice the tying of a shoelace on a 5.10 shoe? Someones getting fired.

Possibly the most pretentious and irrelevant video ever. Whatever the "concept" was it had nothing to do with selling me a pair of shoes. The Director should be dragged through tick-infested Cheddar mud and nettles to re-connect him/her with "real" climbing.
Despite that I may buy the approach shoes for Portland/foreign sport climbing/descents off multi pitch faces. They do look good for their weight.
