@ Dan: PURE does not feature an extra with Fred, but my next film, CORE… (due for release in a few months) will have the extended interview.

I agree that a full film could be dedicated to following Fred around for a year or at least to a few different areas (I’m sure you could get more than enough footage in a few short weeks in a couple of different places). After watching this I’m excited to get “Pure” and I hear that there is an extended interview with Fred in the extras section. Nice work Chuck!

and just to comment on Fred’s style

he has a static and dynamic style…it flows. That is how I try to climb when climbing hard. Flowing works the best. Adam Ondra flows incredibly well. The dreamtime video shows this well.

Great little short by Chuck! To echo some of the comments above, I really enjoyed the way the piece was put together. You really get a good sense of Fred’s vision and style of climbing. I think its great to celebrate his static, controlled and indeed masterful way of climbing with some classical music.

Oh and Jamie, I recently discovered your blog and I have to congratulate you on the great quality of the media and insights you give. Keep it up in 2010!

This has to be the most original comment ever written on a climbing blog…

You like sarcasm? No way, so do I!!!

You hide behind anonymity and make smart remarks? So does every one else!

You like pointing out the obvious? Me too!

This has to be the most original post ever made on a climbing blog…

You think Fred Nicole is a legend? No way, so do I!

You think the younger generation is less interested in putting up new climbs? So does the website 8a.nu!

You like watching recycled Chuck Fry footage? Me too!

Just watched Pure and loved it. Chuck is definitely on top of his game when it comes to climbing films.
