i ran into Peter croft in Owens river gorge. i walked up to him and just straight up asked him, totally uncasually lol! "Are you Peter croft?" He definitely didn't seem over - eager to answer me promptly LOL! He just does what he loves, and does it better than a LOT of other people. I get it. When a novice climber sees me doing something well that's hard for them. I'm more appreciative when they ask me how I did it, rather than tell me that was dope, or that it was awesome. No matter what your interest is, as long as it's not generating any damage, in any sense. Do what you love, even if you do it when you're bored with it. The world will never revolve around you. everyone's either working for the man, and/ or looking up to those that sacrificed to focus every figment of their energy to learn about themselves and make every possible perspective on that idea understood. life should be an art. not for profit. just to make the world a better place. appreciate each other. don't make them famous!
@@Sierranite By environment do you mean "the mountains" in general? Try to think sharper. Being that it (the mountains) is Peter's "domain" he understood the "setting" and the "situation." There was ZERO chance of rockfall at that place and time. (No one above. No melt freeze.) Peter displays his intimacy of place by mentioning you need to wait for after the first thunderstorm after all the snow has melted to have the dust that was in the snow to have washed of. I understand your point I suppose, but this is not "any guide." It's Peter Croft. He is not to be emulated. Peace and happy outdoor adventures.
Man! I’m headed to the gym to get in shape to hire peter Croft to guide me on that route! So inspiring!
Did you do it?
what a day! what a lovely day!

Peter Croft!
Have you signed up yet Evan? go to the Sierra Mountain Guides website!
Jealous! Would kill for a day out on the rocks with Peter! Where do I sign up?
Its been 10 years, did you sign up?
woohoo!
I'm sure he's an international guide, expect to pay thousands for a day out with him.
It seems weird to me having a guide climbing w/out helmet.
Yes, a poor example. Wouldn’t go with any guide that doesn’t wear a helmet in that environment. Is he somehow special?
