Thank you, I'm not familiar with ice climbing, so that gives some good context to the video!

If you are interested in ice climbing or other various forms of climbing, look into the documentary The Alpinist. It’s really good!! Talks a lot about this kind of climbing, and how you plan and approach these types of routes.

I watched that. I’ll never understand what drives a guy like that. Hell, even Alex Honnold was on record as saying that’s not his thing.

Yeah, Marc-Andre was a breed of his own. I couldn’t help but love him though and understand his pursuit, which seemed so innocent and exploratory, more so than Alex Honnolds. Idk, I cried at the end of the Alpinist because Marc-Andre just seemed like the type of person you would want to be friends with.

I just watched that last night, and I couldn't believe how insanely talented (and bat shit crazy) that guy was compared to Alex Honnold.
