Me too.

I was in Avalonia a couple times last year and the amount of work the dude has putted into the place is simply amazing

I relate and am similar to him in ways his spirit his past even how he climbs on occasion. I admire how he overcame what he talks about and how he gives joy and beauty to so many. He is a beautiful soul. And I hope he hears this

This documentary was incredible, genuinely. Everybody's back stories were so different but yet so interconnected through climbing as a safe space, a healing mechanism and a method of learning and teaching. Daniel to me was extremely fascinating. This year I started working for the Mental Health facility in a hospital in Australia so I'm progressively learning more and more about the types of people that end up in psychiatric units & the full spectrum of mental health issues that people have to deal with. This made everybody's story that little bit more interesting to me, but Daniel's really was something else. I love the fact they left it until later in the documentary for him to explain his background dealing with psychiatric hospitals to allow you to develop an opinion of him first (They did this with everyone but this case was extremely interesting). I think it's fair to say most people would have assumed the same thing that I did, he's very quirky, doesn't conform to systemic ways of thinking and maybe that he's a little bit weird because of those things. To see that he was effectively labelled and written off by people and has ended up where he has is super inspiring. He's not some "big time success", he's not killing it in the corporate world but he is having a huge impact on people and speaking to them in a way that they understand, helping them learn and enabling healthy growth within himself. I'm personally not a climber, I have considered getting into it of late and it's interesting to see the stereotypes & divisions that arise with rapid community growth. This documentary has made we want to educate myself more before I do go down that road to make sure when I do start, I'm more responsible & more understanding than I would have been otherwise.

Same here haha sniff! :")

Aw this comment gave me feels

lucky bastard hahaha

Agreed--and you're right, it couldn't have come at a better time.

Nathan Lynch seconded!

Yeah, goddamned Freemasons and their capers.

Obviously near Mt, Fuji, but does anyone know what the crag is called?

@@ethancampbell1631 if you find out what it is lmk. I'm seeking this spot. Absolutely gorgeous.

Mt. Mizugaki, 蒼天攀路(Souten-hanro) .12b 😉

Amen to that!

climbing builds incredible mental strength and discipline, efficiency (in multiple ways), and the ability to remain calm under pressure, among other traits that will help you in life.

Climber Dad Climbing has taught you to be economical. It didn't take you many words to generate a big feeling. Good luck for the future. You are prepared.

the world is your gym, get out there and get some reps in!

Beautiful.

it is likely i saw you in Josh back around then...that place changed my life and I spent a lot of time out there starting in 1990 through the mid-naughts (and a surprisingly delightfully deserted week just last fall). i consider it my spiritual home, and it was a lot more than just the climbing that got under my skin...things like stumbling on a den of coyote pups, the milky way at night, washes painted with wildflowers, 360 degree sunsets, snowstorms in April, finding plausibly undiscovered indian rock art deep in the Wonderland...all the facets of the genuine raw nature that still exist there. the climbing is just the icing on the cake. the community had its moments too, for sure...some timeless campfire scenes that felt downright neolithic surrounded the huge boulders and twisted yucca~

@@compteofficiel4112 Quite possible. I don't even bother trying to describe Josh to most people. I could live off memories of a weekend there for several days. The smell of that place would linger on my clothes, the scent of the desert igniting the rush of pure joy and adrenaline I'd experienced there, with my two beautiful climbing partners. The intimacy of literally holding another person's life in your hands is about as simple and direct as life gets. It's a sacred place for me, always. Thanks for sharing your story.

@@MissKimRose i can see that you understand the magic. :-)

I definitely cried, may or may not still be crying

Thank you for tuning in!

It's a very small town and most "normal" people consider us crazy hobos here as well. ;)

granitude lol

Thanks for the kind words Elliot.
