Nice blend of photos and live footage. I had seen it posted before and gave up early when I saw the stills at the start, figuring I might as well just read a book, but now I see the live action too, and realize it makes a very nice combination. Thanks for taking the time to film and post it.

My total respect and admiration goes out to all of you who climb ! I was a linebacker in college and captain of my team but got cut from the pros and have to say I would go out there without any pads any day before I could get enough nerve to climb as you do . It's a thing of beauty that you do ! Take care KSO

I can't WAIT until next summer, my first real climb at Devil's Tower. I'm so excited.

One of these things first - Nick Drake

@JavierDurango Don't know the song, but it's definitely Nick Drake.

New to climbing, i struggle with 5.10's.... but someday I hope to make the El Cap cend. Everest is a little far fetched of a dream, but El Cap is definitely more a possibility some day!

@UserNamei5 Yes, alex honnold did it.

In answer to questions below...pee in empty water bottles, evacuate bowels in bag....haul it all out (empty pee where convenient off route). Camp 6 (high on the Nose section near where I fell) is a testatment the need for all parties to haul out there excrement.....that little platform and the crack behind it had a stink like no other. There truly is nothing worse than being dehydrated (which you will be on a wall) and entering a section of hot rock where many parties have piss.

Great video! I can't stop watching it. Triple Direct was the first big wall that I climbed back in 1992. What is the name of the song in the beginning? Who performed it? Too fun. Thank you for bringing me back to the good old days...
