Yes, intense! It's 4:40 into the vid...

The Olympics got me stoked on climbing. Haven't gone back and watched Free Solo again (yet), but I did come across this, which is an episode in Jimmy Chin's Edge of the Unknown series.

man, just like Free Solo, you watch it knowing the outcome but are still totally gripped.

Not a fan of Meta/Facebook, nonetheless am curious if anyone has actually experienced the VR film that came out of this project? Looks like it would be pretty f'n amazing.

I imagine serious climbers already know all about this stuff, but if you're like me and not a climber, but find climbing vids and discussions entertaining and inspiring, you may find these interesting...

This is a great long form discussion, touching on many different subjects. There's an index to the content in the expanded description.



It's audio only; you can also get it here...

Down at the bottom of that page are links to podcasts with other well known climbers.

This article is a great read including links to many cool vids...

How to watch The Devil's Climb

I recorded that, thanks for the heads up. Plan to watch it tomorrow.

[Buzzworthy]

That was an impressive performance to witness.

Don't have any of the services it's currently streaming on, so will just have to wait for it (hopefully) to make it to YouTube or some other "free" platform. Honnold's stuff, particularly his adventures with Caldwell, always make for a good watch.

In that "Do Hard Things" vid in my previous post he talks a lot about the trip and mentions he entered into it still a little sick/depleted from some crud he picked up from kids at home, and never really got over that completely. Being sub-par, slogging through a long bike ride from Colorado to Alaska, followed by hard climbing! The physical reserves and mental determination to see it through. Yea, wildly impressive!

I used my cable lol.

The boys have lost their speed record. Do they take it back in the near future?

It’s also available through the Disney channel. I’m watch Fly, a wing suiting film now from NatGeo now.

How to watch The Devil's Climb

Finally watched this last night. Highly recommended and obviously the climbing is insane, but Tommy re-ruptured his achilles three times? JFC, Tommy! One is too many but sort of understandable I guess, but three, WITAF?

Same, three sounds a bit much.
