Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I purchased this video to use in a Sports Literature class at the high school level to illustrate teamwork in a sport that might seem more of a solo-activity. The students--non-climbers--and I were blown away by the level of climbing on display. The exotic locations give the video a higher level of interest than some of the competing videos I've seen (the China footage had a fun edge to it as well), and the inclusion of Beth Rodden, who climbs at a level most male climbers can only dream of, was an excellent decision. The senior boys were very impressed that a girl with such a girlish voice was doing something most of them would never dare in a million years.

Dosage V combines gorgeous cinematography from Emmy Award-winning cameramen Josh and Brett Lowell with a progressive soundtrack and tight editing to transport the viewer to Yosemite, China, Arkansas, Spain, Colorado, and New England to witness the year's most outstanding climbing accomplishments. Highlights include: Beth Rodden's first ascent of Meltdown (5.14c), one of the hardest traditional routes in the world; Chris Sharma's next-level sport climbing projects in Catalunya, Spain; And young-guns Daniel Woods and Paul Robinson pushing the limits of bouldering in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.Dosage V because it includes footage of Beth Rodden working on a 75 foot seam up a slightly overhanging wall next to a thundering waterfall. After forty days of effort, Beth made the route's first ascent, naming it Meltdown and calling it the hardest climb she's ever done.
