This is a TED Talk in the making! Well done Sonnie. I remember when you first took this down, I cant believe it took me this long to watch this video. "There was no grey area, there was no 'try' harder, there was only do it or don't do it" Brilliant! F-in LEGEND MAN!

It's amazing how far video technology has come in 14 years. Such an amazing effort, kudos to you Sonnie, you're an inspiration!

It's actually the movie with Didier and you that had a huge influence on me and I attribute that I eventually started climbing partly to that film. It was the first time I saw climbing from up close as a kid. I randomly stumbled upon it as a child, flicking through the channels and stayed for the whole movie, truly fascinated, sweating and higher-than-resting pulse. I was actually a bit sad Didier couldn't do the FA :D It's nice to revisit this, feels like nostalgia.

Just got introduced to this with Nat's accent. Just gets the heart pounding.

A lot of the guys today do this mono to upside down double twist hold grab to get through the crux and it’s sick. But your beta just hits different. Everyone’s got what works for them, but the way you took this crack by it’s sack is SO sick. So stoked I came across this

I heard you need the same upside down double twist hold grab on Spirit of Squamish

So cool, thank you for posting this! Love that the whole ascent is featured here, not just rapid cuts to the crux! You probably don‘t remember, but I wrote to you a while ago, asking whether you knew where I could find that clip again. It‘s been favourite of mine for a long time and it suddenly vanished on youtube... you wrote back that you‘d maybe upload it again at some point. So thank you, so happy to be able to watch this climb again! Appreciate you taking the trouble to put it up!! cheers, bruno

This send was fire. And I haven’t seen anyone pull of the crux the same way since. 👏🙌🔥❤️

Great trip down memory lane, so stoked when you sent that! +1 for the Joe Rockheads shirt and I swear I saw Matt Segal on belay at the start?

@sonnietrotter1 Жыл бұрын

yes, Matt was there too that summer, and my friend Nick belayed me on the send burn. Cheers

Nicely done Sonny! Your efforts continue to impress the hell outta me!

Very much appreciated! Thank you for the comment

Not that I’m anybody who needs impressing, I’ve never led anything harder than 5.10. It’s just inspiring to me to watch people push the limits of climbing and do it in a style that seems ethically the way to do it!

You GOTTA post some more content! What about the Triple Crown on the Rockies that you did a few years ago? I would LOVE to see some footie from that!

I'll try. It's been a busy few years with the little ones and all, but I'll do my best, thanks for the nudge

I was pretty sure che inverted toe hook was the original beta, but I was wrong :) even though the upside down move looks cool I actually prefer this, straight up version, no fuzz, just hand jamming through 💪

If only they were handjams...

Thanks. It was the only beta we had at the time, ha ha.
