Sounds totally legit.
7:29 you can still onsight trüffelschwein in kompanj where his foot slipped right at the start 😉
Adam is a good climber… Government is slavery! Natural Law is King! Anarchy is Freedom under Natural Law! ABOLITION is Right!
Politics is a dialectic of authoritarianism.
Yea, I guess it's time for another rewatch of Tommy's movie.
Keep politics out of climbing
Lol, isnt Seb the guy that did the big instagram post about being a cys white guy, admitted to probaby r*ping people and seemed to get celebrated for being brave? I wouldn’t give him any airtime.
hell yeah smash fascism! free palestine <3
Terranova will (or Will) get its upgrade.
Silence will possibly become 9c+ in the future.
The book trick is a shame! Its good to know that he did not use it.
Too bad Seb's a fascist.
where's the clip? Downvoted…
So me a noob who don't know these numbers and letters. Is Alex honnald free solo of El Capitan, or this persons climb better?
LOL, that has to be the cringiest opening shot I've ever seen. How does secluding yourself in a forrest to climb rocks help defeat Fascism? Why is that relevant to anything thats going on in this footage? It's a simple and obvious use of virtue, signaling trying to add more importance to what you're doing then what's really there. Defeating the bad guys from thousand miles away, So brave!
Anti Fascist climber here 🤮
Capitalism got him his gear
You're either in favor of fascism or against fascism ; especially in our sport where most of the history of climbing (esp. in Europe) has been a struggle between actual nazis / fascists and actual anarchists / communists
Of course if you think climbing is just paying 15£ to pull colored plastic holds, there is some things you cannot fathom about the political history and meaning of climbing, but you should read about it it's quite interesting
The Dawn Wall is quit remote for all these european climbers, thats why the number is still so low.
fourth ascent….. damn i must have been sleeping long!!
