Aiden has put on his Instagram page that he’s now part of Catalyst Climbing. Coaching and training climbers.

All we need now is a quote from Harry Redknapp, sat in his Range Rover, and transfer window will be complete.

  :popcorn:

to be honest I thought he already was, given how many times I have seen him pop up in various youtube videos with a catalyst vest on. A rising opposition to the Lattice superpower and the zealots of the cult of Midtbo perhaps...

Just said the same thing on FB. Wait 'til they are fast asleep, one the big telly with sound on properly. And a dram.

That was very good. Enjoyed Varians philosophical musings a lot. Great footage throughout. Only criticism is Dan not explicitly calling Gaskins out  :lol: :worms:

Yep brilliant stuff, enjoyed especially that all the ascents were uncut and basically mobile phone footage rather than over-produced high tech stuff.

Great musings about enjoying what's close to home, resonates a lot with me and provides an interesting contrast to Ben Moon in Stone Love, saying you have to travel to test yourself against boulders overseas.

Needs an outtakes film with all the other stuff he did! Anyone know what Mighty Midget is?

Could be the direct exit to big boy beaves maybe, couldn't see anything else resembling that on the list/in the film and heard he had done a direct version of that

Excellent! If Aidan can bring himself to travel in future I would love to see him tested against more world famous hard problems. Perhaps the hardest of them all - burden of dreams would suit him?

Out of curiosity, I wonder who the other top 5 crimpers in the world might be? Ondra? Megos? Woods?

Nalle Hukkataival and Dai Koyamada would be contenders. Probably Giuliano Cameroni too?

What a great film, loved everything about it, well done everyone involved.

My only regret is I've never actually seen any of the problems in person to contemplate how hard they really are. (Except the Bowderstone one).

Great film, great climbing and a really impressive view of a bigger picture. As already said, feels like the future is in good hands.

Really appreciated some of Dan’s broader musings on lifestyle.

Nice one all round.

What a refreshingly good film. Nice story - great people - great climbing. The story and the personalities made the film rather than relentless drone shots etc..

👏👏

(Though I Did get arsed off with the adverts / maybe it’s how I watched it on the tv having to pause a few times..)

Yeah but the ads were a small price to pay for a film of this quality being freely available. Really enjoyed it, inspiring stuff!

I immediately had to stop watching it when I saw the second add start withing 3minuets of the first and just used an add blocker. Way to jarring to watch with adds.

yep, minor inconvenience for watching on a decent telly that doesn't have an ad blocker. Could skip after a few seconds.

Awesome film with great footage and interviews. A really interesting window into a different philosophy.

Ads let me get up and make a brew.
