I hesitate to put this in the trip reports section because 1 - its not a trip report and 2 - I don't think that section gets too much traffic.

I listened/watched a video on a lecture from Alan Watts. Powerful stuff. I really liked the message, so I put some different music to it and some footage from trips I've been on during the last 6 months. Now I have a video.

Here's a link to it:

If there's a general consensus to move it - then no problem, just let me know. Otherwise I hope you enjoy.

Aw, crap, I watched this whole thing thinking this was going to be a video about Alan Watts of Smith Rock fame.

Should include more climbing footage of that blonde dude in the yellow shirt/green patagonia puffy...I hear he's a badass.

TRmasta - It was nasty. Hospital nasty. But a hospital visit with lots of laughing so that's always a pleasure.

Adam - naw, that dude is a total scrub. You know this.

And thank you Mattius - I appreciate it guys

Neat video!

Shared it on FaceBook & already have a few likes & shares, even from non-climbers. This thing might blow up on you, better get a sequel ready ;)
