    The best granite on the planet has a few Frenchmen on it - and they're enjoying the hell out of this world-class climbing.
    'Great things are done when men and mountains meet; This is not done by jostling in the street.' - William Blake
    The boys find their dream pitch: extremely hard technical climbing on possibly some of the best granite there is. This is why they came to climb in Patagonia, and they'll never forget it.
    Director: Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll
    Producer: Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll
    Athletes: Stephane Hanssens, Merlin DIdier, Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll

      are you really suggesting that being able to cope with the level of grammar a second grader would do, is on par with the level of somebody who would write a thesis? Not really...

    • @xMrJanuaryx
      @xMrJanuaryx 8 років тому +11

      Blitzpunk Why are you acting like you practice proper grammar whenever you comment on you tube?
      "are you really suggesting that being able to cope with the level of grammar a second grader would do, is on par with the level of somebody who would write a thesis? Not really..."
      The first letter of your sentence should be a capital letter. Also, "would do" sounds funny. It should be: "can cope with" or something similar; moreover, the sentence itself is long and wordy. I would suggest putting a period after "can cope with". Furthermore, an ellipse is meant to be used to indicate information being left out of a quote. Yet here you are using it to extenuate your caddishness. Sounds to me like you are being hypocritical correcting my grammar when your own is no better eh?

    • @cuntinakia8122
      @cuntinakia8122 8 років тому +1

      *****
      You can cry all you want, but it´s you who doesn´t know the difference between "they´re" and "there". And that´s not on the level with random spelling mistakes. It´s really sad.

  • @sinoperture
    @sinoperture 8 років тому +10

    1) Cool camera work
    2) There are little bolts/attachments there already?
    3) Who put them there? Park rangers?
    4) How can you know to trust them?

    • @dendikke3
      @dendikke3 8 років тому +1

      No , there are no bolts in the wall. They use Nuts and Anchors that they place in the cracks in the wall to secure themselves
      EDIT: You can see them at 3:55

    • @mussaranya
      @mussaranya 8 років тому +1

      1) yes!
      2) The belgians only use bolts when impossible to use anything else.
      3) They must have put themselves. All the climbers they always climb all the pitches in first. Maybe they opened the pitch in aid climbing, but after they tried and tried until freeing, that's their style.
      4) How can you trust all the other climbers?

    • @SebastianFischbaeck
      @SebastianFischbaeck 7 років тому +6

      2.) there are bolts in the wall. See 1:50 he clips one of his quickdraws. Without the bolts it would be a trad. route. Go see wiki for the difference
      3) No, normally they are put there by other climbers
      4) you cant always trust them ;-) but you cant either trust a micro-nut or bad placed friend

    • @ryyankhan3634
      @ryyankhan3634 5 років тому

      ive been confused before, but as climber go up, kind of freestyling, kinda not, (as in they put the hanging attachment things below them, attach themselves to it, and climb up) they continue to attach bolts as they climb higher and higher.

  • @Basilzaharoff1
