    Siicckk video!! I love Alex and Cedar's escapades but what always baffles me the pro climbers continue to climb stuff that's dangerously chossy WITHOUT A HEMLET!! Cedar wears his helmet paragliding, but not while climbing when fridge sized blocks are coming off the wall?! Please wear a helmet guys! It's not only safer for you guys (I'd hate to lose any of my climbing idols) but it also perpetuates to the public that wearing a helmet is not only much safer, but cooler too! Still, and incredible video!

    They already have what they need. After the previous generations of exploding alpine egos it is an understatement to say that it is refreshing to hear such accomplished practitioners declare, “climbing means nothing” and to put some of their earnings from it into projects to support the bypassed and left behind that we are generating in such an abundance. Cedar Wright actually is an artist with a substantial gift and the charm of his stories is his unvarnished authenticity. Not it’s tailored image. He achieves formal aesthetic master strokes into the bargain and the editing demonstrates that he knows how to recognize them, so they are not entirely the manifest of happy accidents, which he also deserves and probably enjoys with some confidence of regularity. I don’t know. Now I am speculating about karma.

      Well, I'm nowhere near their level yet, but it's going quite good so far! Bought a van and converted it last year, eating breakfast in it as we speak. Starting my last year of Computer Science education to be able to work from a distance, so I can tour Europe in my van in a few years. Feel free to check out my other channel "Carl Månsson" if you want to see the van!
      I recently took a trad climbing course after many years of indoor lead and outdoor toprope climbing. Hope to get some use of it this summer.
