I don't know if you all were impressed by the film, but i was and ordered my own copy already. i thought the video was so well done and was a complete inspiration. and since i heard a lot of folks saying they were going bouldering on sunday i think i'm not the only one. thanks RRGCC for bringing katie and the film to the fest.

No. I was just trying to be respectful in a country sorta way.

Watching those monkeys boulder was freakin' HILARIOUS and awseome! I could watch that part over and over again!
I thought the whole video was awesome. It was very well done in all facets.
One thing I couldn't help noticing and thinking about was the impact of the presence of bouldering on that extremely sacred land. I mean, here's a huge boulder field surrounding a magnificent Budist temple, the boulders a significant part of the temple itself, and then here comes these Western folks climbing on them and defacing them with white chalk. There just seems something wrong with that to me.

though i can't say leaving chalk behind is necessarily respectful i do believe that sharma, katie and nate were respectful towards the people of hampi and their beliefs. these people see those boulders as sacred and so did the climbers just in different ways. now if the climbers showed up there with blaring music, not apreciating the locals and causing a great scene then i would definitely be opposed.

Do you think this video will draw more climbers to Hampi?
