Great information Cy.

I was quite into climbing as a young Marine and the fine line struggle was going on then in climbing. Acrobats flashing routes unseen, untried and free of ropes. It is the spirit of their adventures that light the flame for those who follow. May their family and friends find comfort in how bright their star was and knowing they loved what they did.

Thanks Cy. That video is great. My wife wants you to stop posting them though. They are awakening something that I put to sleep long ago.
