Adding in some documentaries, I’d highly recommending watching these climbing docs as a trilogy to understand the scope of what’s being achieved as well as understanding the different approaches to the sport:
The Dawn Wall: Introduces you to climbing legends such as Tommy Caldwell and the difficulty of the sport, with the main focus being one climb in Yosemite.
Free Solo: Takes the dawn wall and makes it look entry level, focuses on Alex Honnold who climbs ‘free solo’ meaning without ropes or a partner.
The Alpinist: Difficult to put into words, focuses on an almost completely unknown climber called Marc-André Leclerc who is to climbing as Michael Phelps is to swimming. This guy completes climbs even the greatest in the sport consider far from humanly achievable, with part of the doc being a battle to even find the guy to film as he doesn’t care for media attention or fame for his climbs.
The docs all contribute to the understanding of what drives the people pushing the bar of what’s considered possible, and in the subsequent docs the previous climbers appear frequently in interviews that adds a kind of continuum which is why I love these 3 together rather than as individual pieces.
My friends void Zee is another gender affirming pet :) A cuddly guy even before hrt
Alex Hirsch! Created gravity falls and also gives amazing talks :)
Surprised KEXP hasn’t been mentioned here, always good to trawl through their live shows on youtube to find new bands
Buh, buh… my taste buds are more important than animal lives
Watch you don’t eat too much of your false dichotomy, you gotta leave room in your stomach for all that animal slurry :)
Equating people not being all good with the mass suffering and slaughter of sentient beings with religious fanaticism sure is a take, sure is interesting how hot it is it is so many places though wonder what a big cause of that might be?
