Not the best quality but has some pretty stellar views and hard climbing

Was awesome. People being authentic and climbing hard.

I appreciate anyone pushing their limits on the sharp end. I don't care if it's 5.5 or 5.15...climbing is all about the individual's struggle that day. Not big numbers which are just that.... meaningless numbers. The consequences are the same for every leader on the sharp end.

Thanks for sharing.

Obviously he was on a huge ledge and so many things are clipped its no big deal, but an ADT sighting is cool too! 

Being so lucky to be present for and to film this go down was just incredible. A sick watch. By grade, the hardest line at the Elephant's Perch and one of the hardest gear lines in all of Idaho.

Right on!

Super psyched to have gotten this one on film. Jumped from 12a redpoint on gear to 13a/b R redpoint lol. Not the best filming, but an enjoyable watch nonetheless.

Did I miss this happening a year ago or did I just forget??

You might’ve forgot.. It was a busy season I think Babsi, Jacopo, and Connor all worked it within a month or couple months of each other and all sent it ?

[bracing for the flood of abuse] - I can't find a video I remember from Volume I or II that has since evaporated. I've searched: UK dangerous gritstone climb. Young climber belayed by a parent on a redpoint attempt after rehearsing on TR. At the crux heel-hook on lead he's saying to himself out loud, 'toprope, toprope, toprope!' for courage. Anybody remember what that was/where I can find it?

Carry on,

Probably posted already but I just watched it and am stoked for these guys!

This is just a conversation/podcast, but… wow. Freaking epic.

Let’s get back on track with an oldie but a goodie

Not the hardest sends in the world but I like this style of video

It shows how amazing of a climber he is. But he could use a little practice placing gear...lol
