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!
