  • World-renowned climbers Tommy Caldwell and Lynn Hill talking about what motivates them to continue climbing and scaling some of the worlds greatest natural walls and how the sport has changed over the years.
    Google Zeitgeist is a collection of talks by people who are changing the world. Hear entrepreneurs, CEOs, storytellers, scientists, and dreamers share their visions of how we can shape tomorrow.
    Carolynn "Lynn" Hill is a U.S. rock climber and is described as one of the best female climbers in the world and one of the best climbers of all time. Widely regarded as one of the leading competitive sport climbers in the world during the late 1980s and early 1990s, she is famous for making the first free ascent of the difficult sheer rock face of The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, and for repeating it the next year in less than 24 hours. One of the first successful women in the sport, Hill shaped rock climbing for women and became a public spokesperson.
    Tommy Caldwell is a US American rock climber accomplished in sport climbing, hard traditional climbing, big-wall speed climbing, and big-wall free climbing. Caldwell made the first free ascents of several El Capitan routes in Yosemite National Park.

    What a totally lovely segment. For a non-climber, the interviewer did a fine job. Nice! And both Tommy and Lynn (especially Lynn - what a woman!) came across as great ambassadors for the sport of climbing. Superb!!

    Love Lynn Hill. She's smart, articulate and able to share the lessons which make her such an amazing athlete. AND she's so humble about it!

    ''That's not possible'' is a phrase that always spurs on the best climbers.
    An open mind is required ,and a willingness to experiment.

    Lynn is absolutely right about raising children as compared to the way our generation of the 60's and 70's. And she still looks really good. I have a son the same age as her boy and we tend to pamper them more then our parents did us.

    Fear fatigue doubt is what we experience in everyday life but being on a cliff thousands of feet up makes everyday struggle minimal conquerable if they r able to find strength between real physical fear and pushing through it so can I mentally

    I know exactly what Lynn is talking about when answering about her child. You either have to be their age or have grown up in middle east to know exactly what she means. And she’s really trying to be politically correct, which i understand, but what she says is very real.

    They completely blew past the fact that Tommie killed a man with his hands to escape as a 21-yearold. Would think that would merit a followup question...

    "Kurzikstan???" 5:40 I'm guessing that would be somewhere between Kurdistan and Kazakhstan ;-)

      it was actually Kyrgyzstan she pronounced it a bit wrong.... but reading your comment reminded me of that joke about two collegue studends who had an argument whether Iraq or Iran exists xD

    Try climbing a wall of vertical glass. That's impossible.

    Try posting unallowed opinions on youtube or other google-run entities. Then you'll find the impossible.

    Tommy Caldwell murdered someone? Wow.

    • @rknewell9547
      @rknewell9547 Před 6 lety +11

      Typhoonbladefist ... no he didn't. The insurgent/ captor that he pushed off the cliff actually survived... something he found out only after the fact

    • @Yosef9438
      @Yosef9438 Před 6 lety +24

      Even if the captor had died, I wouldn't call it murder.

      Psuffix is correct, it was self-defense. (6:46)
