<8 Hazel.  That looked brutal.  Pretty impressive that she did it without C4 rubber. ;)

A little bit of everything in this one. 

That Lotus Flower Tower movie features Stephanie Bodet, who is in that wonderful slab film "Of the Rock I asked for the Moon."

This is another fun one with Arnaud and Stephanie, don't think I've seen it posted here.

I have been trying to remember the name of that film for MONTHS!   Thanks!

Climbing arrows of rock, aiming at the moon,
I thought that by clenching the holds, I could stay in the warm sun of noon.
I thought that by holding on, time would cease to unfold.
Climbing spires of rock, hoping to reach the moon,
I kept faith for a while, training myself, lifting weights, shattering feathers.
I did not see the coming, nor passing, of wrinkling years,
So absorbed I was by the rock.
I will always caress him, for I believe in the old love
that flies with the wings of youth, higher each day.
But now I yield to the whims of the wind.
“Go, my heart, lead me where you will!”
It was then draped at my feet: the cloth of clouds
that spread its strange shapes.
And the smile of chickadees, and the old pine above, gently swaying.
Life, bounded forever by the ropes of love.
Of the rock I asked for the moon.
And he gave me everything.

--- Stephanie Bodet

Looks like a hex placement to me...

Just you. 

Edit: disregard. You right.

Yes, it was on the first burn and had already fallen. Just sussing out the gear placements.

So is it that considered trad or aid :-)

Considering the clean red point: Trad/Freeclimbing. 

I really liked this video-- the climbing is very relatable because it is just hard 5.10, and not the 5.13/14 you always see in climbing videos-- but at that altitude I can only imagine how much harder it must be. Nice scenery too.

Plus the music is 10/10 and the editing is on point. PLUS not many folks show you in their badass vids how the sausage is made. In the first part of this one you get a clear look at what dogging and sussing the moves on a 5.13 line looks like. Bachar may be turning over in his grave but I appreciate the candor.

Or maybe Bachar eased up those ethics with time, not sure
