Post Awesome Trad Movies Here #2

This is not the place for such discussion. Although it's easy to be swayed, let's try to stay on topic.

It's a "figure of 9."  No real reason to do it as far as I can tell, other than to use up excess material if you're using a sling or cord.  And yeah, there is no proper shelf in that situation.  

I don't remember seeing this one, but it could very well be a repost. 

Watching that Gobat film I am inspired.... to get myself some green pants. And not to try to climb El Cap and Half Dome in a day.

You 'might' like these.  Documented proof that the fat kid can sometimes climb some things.  Hope this inspires a few clydesdales out there.  Sure, it's drone footage but I'm placing totems.

One more for the fat kids:

Jplotz:

I know (hope?) you are joking whenever you refer to yourself as fat, but it's pretty discouraging to see someone as fit and healthy looking as yourself saying that. 

Nice sends!

If I'm not fat, then why do I always have to go first on rappel?!

I know a piggy when I see one.

Is that all chalk beneath the overhang?

It's cocaine, the route was projected in the 80s. It's mineral deposits I think, from water seepage.

There are numerous explanations for this. 'Won't be missed', 'Less to live for', and 'We want to talk about you' come to mind.   

That Slim Pickens route looks pretty neat.

That you? What is "fat" to you?

Yep that's me, reduced down to 175 after weighing 200 in December (6'2"). So maybe 'husky' would be more appropriate.

Congrats on the send and fitness goals! I'm down to 180ish from 220 a few years back, weight makes a big difference but only to a point. Still need strength, endurance, technique and carbs flowing through the veins to send. 

Jacapo and Pearson on Tribe the hardest trad climb in the world
