probably one of the most inspiring climbing movies I’ve ever seen. Try do your next climbing session with a blindfold
amazing. He really captures all that is important in climbing, which is just to go out there and have fun and do what you can with what you’ve got.

Wow…Shok…what a douche-bag you are…just gotta bring people down huh??!!! And for the record I really wouldn’t say he “flailed” at all…considering he only fell a few times on a route which is famous for being extremely difficult, technical and sustained for the grade, and that he’s already planning to go back and attempt a totally free ascent. I know a lot of sighted people who have flailed harder and taken longer to climb the route!! And I have to say that… sitting there ten feet from Erik filming and watching him scan the rock with his hand for foot and hand holds, find them and then crank….was definitely one of the most inspiring feats of climbing I have ever witnessed!
