    "there is always an illusion that world class climbing lies in different countries or continents" - being an old climber who´ve chosen not to travel anymore but rather develop amazing climbs locally, I could not aggree more.
    It´s not everyday we see a strong boy with such a humble and well educated vision amidst this world of hypeness and virtual social validation.
    Very well done guys! 👏

    One of the top climbing documentaries ever made. Super inspiring as a climber, the message couldn't resonate more, and very insightful for future filmmakers. I stumbled across this while having a peak experience on psilocybin and I my jaw was on the floor the whole time. When a line takes so much, a lifes work of training even, and it all comes together like this, its truly a work of art to witness. Aiden, Dan and Jack all seem like top blokes. 10 stars

  • @aidentoth9797
    @aidentoth9797 Рік тому +1

    dan talking about being content with climbing is so incredibly important. the community is just as, if not more important than sending hard and traveling to "world class destinations". climbing is such a social sport and even tho wherever you go the people are almost always warm and supportive, it can be so difficult to make real connections if you're just running around trying problems you feel like you need to try bc they're classics. i mean im not good enough to even know exactly what this feels like but spending time away from my climbing community makes me appreciate it that much more!!!!

    Such a good story and very well told. I like how the video mirrors his modesty by putting his person in perspective of the people around him. I mean it was not a video about Aiden per se but about him as part of the British climbing scene. Dan's thoughts on climbing in your home area made me understand what 'home' means, generally.
