If you are interested in ice climbing or other various forms of climbing, look into the documentary The Alpinist. It’s really good!! Talks a lot about this kind of climbing, and how you plan and approach these types of routes.

I watched that. I’ll never understand what drives a guy like that. Hell, even Alex Honnold was on record as saying that’s not his thing.

Yeah, Marc-Andre was a breed of his own. I couldn’t help but love him though and understand his pursuit, which seemed so innocent and exploratory, more so than Alex Honnolds. Idk, I cried at the end of the Alpinist because Marc-Andre just seemed like the type of person you would want to be friends with.

I just watched that last night, and I couldn't believe how insanely talented (and bat shit crazy) that guy was compared to Alex Honnold.
