The term wow, or any other term for that matter doesn't quite work... maybe a lot of strong expletives...

Is that the story "Aerialist" that he was working on? He was telling me about working on the story a couple of years ago. Stoked to see that it got done.
Dean is a big inspiration to me. His attitude is very "spiritual."
I hope the film lets that shine through. That is what makes Dean so special in my mind. He is doing his own thing, on his terms, according to his philosophy.
I found him to be one of the most interesting climbers or jumpers that I have ever talked with, albeit a long string of emails.
Trust me. I have known the full spectrum of personalities in those sports. He really stands out from the rest. Not by ability, although that is strong. It is his philosophy. Buddha unaware or something. No sh#t.

For me, as a small-time amateur climbing photographer, it is interesting to see how the good sausage is made.
Funny thing, these videos will only exacerbate the general public's misuse of the term "free climbing."
You're a climber? - So do you free climb?

It would have been so cool if Dean had his dog on his back while soloing up the wall too ......

extra-ordinary as defined by a society
can clash with our inter-personal understanding of ordinary.
strung out on love's sting,
we flee pillows every morning;
walk thru the mundane,
and establish ex-realities
as we passionately liason with lofty dreams.

Fantastic-can't wait to watch-was wondering what DP had been up to. He is just way out there. I'm glad he does what he does on his own terms and own way (as Base stated earlier). Not many who do... and it would be very hard to be the videographers... what a stressful situation...

Now he just needs to fire the lower pitches free and we will have the FA Free Solo of FreeRider.
What's amazing is how detached he is living in the pure moment. Bullshit'n with with the camera crew and asking them to move 2000 feet up hanging on a traverse.....
WTF over.
Giddy up.

How far is this going to go until we get to sit back, hand in a bag of chips and watch somebody splat on our huge plasma screens? As bold and absolutely amazing these feats are, I feel like the "progression" is pushing these people into death. We'll, I guess I don't have to watch them.
