Dani - very inspiring...I wanna be an E3 version of that dedication.

More inspiring stuff of Dani in La quête fanatique (The Fanatic Search), very homemade feel to the video and a bit disjointed, but some very impressive climbing (including Ondra tearing up La Rambla with Sahrma & Andrada & others watching with their jaws on the floor).

I wouldn't pay money for fanatic search, we watched it the whole way through presuming we were on the extras! Fanatic search 2 (girl thing) is much better.
Tom et je ris is MEGA, just epic enough to be different and unique without being a total pain in the arse. If you're into stamina and tufas it's a must. God I miss being a full timer.

Andrada's such a beast- even on a 9a+ he seems to be able to stop in the middle of pretty much any move and just check how his skin's doing!

A film about Dani Andrada[/url]

Well I've now learned he started climbing just a few months before I did. That's why he's better than I am.

Well I've now learned he lives somewhere where a slightly foggy day is considered bad conditions, not the only good weather window for months. That's why he's better than I am.

Dean Potter soloing Freerider (as it explains he abbed in rather than going ground up).

Interesting to hear Dani basically saying he's not too bothered if a line gets chipped. I'm paraphrasing of course, but he does say that he's more concerned by shit at crags. Also he says that once you bolt a line it's no longer natural, so why be fanatical about chipping?

I remember saying bolting can lead to chipping in this way on the Carn Vellan thread, and being roundly shouted down for it. So there.

Its good to see he's concerned about the state of the Spanish crags and I'm not at all surprised at his stance on manufacturing routes, it suits him. I do wonder if he'd be of the same opinion if somebody got to all his 1st ascents before him and drilled them down to 8a, or maybe enlarged those M14 mono's he likes to 'find' to something more usable. Yes, Spain has a lot of rock etc. etc.

county ethics looks amazing

Nice one. Welcome back Keenus, hope you get some good stuff done in the UK. CDD crux looks awesome, didn't expect that. Wish the filming had been a bit smoother there tho. I like the shot of the crag with sped up clouds.

what a brilliant move.
