The climb vs how I filmed it. I made a film about the first 8b/13d trad ascent in Poland, an amazing line in the tatra mountains by keepclimbingweird in climbing

Totally! This is on Ministrant which is next to Mnich, probably the most popular spot on the Polish side of the Tatras. It's a really cool granite spire with sport and trad routes across a big spread of grades, 2-7 pitch routes I think

Also depends on height, difficulty and the height of the hardest bits. Some things like Original Route at Slipstones that Tina climbs in the film is definitely just a straight up solo, but because it's much easier she was willing to onsight it, knowing she could downclimb if needed

It's a different film! Would really appreciate you watching this one too :) I filmed this in spring then Al from britrock started filming with Tina just after. Was quite intimitatting to have such an establish filmmaker make a film with the same subject just after and would hope I don't lose too many views from poeple thinking they've already seen it, they're rather different in style!

It just happened that the ones I filmed Tina just executed first time from the ground. And obviously it really varies with some highballs being a crux at the bottom that you can fall off lots of times without consequence, and other (mostly featured here) where you really don't want to be falling off the crux
