Showing this as some kind of mad trad master is just dangerous when there are people who buy into this, and could hurt themselves trying to replicate what he's supposedly doing with ease. I mean 'lead' climbing with no belayer and wearing the wrong shoes? Why bother with a rope at all, right? Just nonsense. Agreed, Mike.

That is a really short rope... like way to short. A standard climbing rope is about 200ft long, his looks to be about 40? 2. He does not have a bleayer, ever... 3. He ties in to climb with a different rope than the one he is carrying? 4. He tops out without a rope, and with no gear in the crack behind him? 5. He is climbing in sneakers!? 6. Before he "starts climbing" It looks like he is tying into a cam. This would almost make sense if he were belaying himself up a single pitch, but every route on that rock is 3-4 pitches... 7. He never has more than a few pieces of pro on him? He would easily need a dozen. 8. At 1:30 you can see some stray dark line hanging down the crack... 9. At 1:24 you can for sure see he has placed no gear for quite some time... 10. At 1:43 you can see his top rope... 11. This is a 5.9 C2. That means he would be aiding at some point. The point here is he doesn't have any of the proper equipment for this. 12. He is apparently trying to smear on the either side of the crack on perfectly blank walls. A crack climbing tip for the "master of movement"...use the crack. The verdict. They filmed this yokel scrambling up the base, flew him to the top with a helicopter, and lowered him over the edge to top rope the last 50 feet. I guess that counts as summitting? Here is my list:

There are many reasons why the truth is important and bullshitters should be exposed. Nicely done!! I don’t agree with the other commenters.

I think that is my issue here. There are a plethora of people to draw inspiration from when it comes both to climbing and other outdoor adventures, why parade him around on TV.

But the blatant lack of attention to detail is just beyond me. I have a lot more respect for companies that spend money on athletes in a sport, than fakes adventure men.
