Great video! Thanks for posting...
(although I didn't unterstand all the German)
Beautiful route and filming with sun-lit crag above snowy village.
Seems rare to see someone placing that kind of small gear in the Alps...
Kammerlander has been bad-ass for so many years. and not well-known
to most US climbers I think.
(unfortunate bolts left of the line... And do you
really need a bolted anchor on a nice natural line like that...)

Far from old!
Handsome, dashing, incredibly talented, and still showing the world how it's done.
Plus he's got ... you know what's!
Keep on cranking Beat ... you are one of the great ones.
Love the film.
Thanks for the uplift.

Wow. Really really great video.
You know what the best part was?
"No Bruce, what was it?"
He did that bad ass thing placing little wires, not clipping bolts!!
"Poor guy, doesn't he know he's hopelessly out of style? That he could do much harder things if he rap bolted it?"
Guess he hasn't "caught up" yet.
"How are people supposed to go up there for the rad repeats if there are no bolts to clip?"
I don't know...Maybe they'll have to learn about technologies of the ancients.

too easy...
edit: Just watched the vid again. Double ropes with a belayer on each. Missed that first time. I've done that on a few routes - definitely a good method.

You got me there, not enough face to see.
I will say though that both Mr. Kammerlander and the fellow in the red shirt look somewhat surprised by something that guy just said. Beat looks downright skeptical there.

So...you are saying there is a bolted sport route on the Eiger, but, you don't clip the bolts OR use a rope?

The guy in the redshirt is Duane Raleigh, who looks to be aging well I might add.
Thanks for sourcing that video; Beat's comportment reflects intelligence ... really makes me wanna understand his words.

Quite amazing for a route thats "only" vertical, not overhanging.
Wonder if someone like Sharma could climb that. I think he'd be having a REALLY hard time even if it was bolt protected.

I met Beat one freezing cold night (5 degrees) at the Smith camping area. He and the lady he was with insisted we come eat with them in their RV. After explaining we had already had a bite he wouldn't take no for answer so we spent most of the evening hanging out and talking about life. Really, really good guy.

I watched him bouldering at the Sentinel trailhead once. Every move was done with total control.
I knew he was someone probably well known. Sometime later I saw a picture with the obviuos red hair and I knew it was him. I believe the picture was of Meatgrinder Arete, with the Merced raging behind him.
great video, I like how it is right in the mddle of town. People pulling out of their driveways and all.

Beat is really nice. He has a back like a well-muscled bat. He's the strongest person I've ever seen climb. He moves his feet like a kitty cat...a really powerful kitty cat. He loaned me his blue Camalots so that I could climb Supercrack after my house burned, and I didn't dare to do it with the two that we had. He's A-OK with me. The nice beats the climbing in my book, but it really is a pleasure to watch him do his thing.

I always wondered, is he any relation to Messner's partner Hans Kammerlander? He was one of the later partners and one of the few that Reinhold had nothing but praise for.
And he was German too I believe.

Bump for sweaty palms. Cool video above. W.B. I thought the camera work was OK, what was the real beef? Curious, but what a badass solo and more than 15 years ago too!
Wow.

Camera is always too tight or too far with angles. (1999 free solo)
That camera guy needs more experience ....

That is some cool looking rock. I'd climb it. If I was stronger, lighter, and braver of course, but still- that rock looks fun.
