Henry Barber Interview

Getting settled back in here today, but I did come across something cool over on Patagonia.com. It appears they’ve put together a little climbing section to go with their new catalog (which has a climbing focus), including some videos and interviews. I just listened to the Henry Barber interview, which I posted below. Very cool, and well worth the listen. Among what he considers his proudest achievements, 67 first ascents in 42 days in Australia, and the first ascent of Deans Day Off (5.12- R), which is probably my favorite climb on the Pass. Of course if I ever want to lead it, I’ll have to headpoint it into submission, whereas he did it barefoot! What a badass.

There’s some other good looking stuff on there as well, including a video with Sonnie Trotter and interviews with Eric DeCaria and Lynn Hill. Lots of fun to zone out to while you’re working, enjoy!
