Awesome video! It really captures the essence of the climbing and the beauty of the Hulk. Awesome watching really good climbers like Peter and Conrad, too.
Now back to housecleaning for me. Thanks for the break.

Awesome video!
Makes me want to go back and try the one that's the "step up" from Red Dihedral. Yes, Positive Vibrations. Any interested parties out there, perhaps CTC, let me know.
Noted Croft and Anker crossed the river at the BIG LOGs, too!
.....Send!!

Thanks for the video link. Really nice piece too. Conrad and Croft are such nice guys, perfect for such a film. True too that that spot can have amazing winds. I remember a winter coming up over one of the col ridges nearby and suddenly having to endure winds well in excess of 50 mph steady when the temperature in still air was -8F 2000 ft lower. Really tough. Really especially windy.

I think climbing with Peter constitutes an unfair advantage.
Damn inspiring plus it's not everyday that you get to hear a pro-TV viewpoint aired in this 'kill your television' climate.

Inspiring!
I still remember meeting Peter ~20 years ago and how his climbing style appeared as effortless grace, and he's still got it. Also that childish big grin and being as fired up about climbing as ever.
