Nice movie, Plaidman.
But dude - your choice of music SUCKS. That first tune for the first three minutes is appallingly bad. What were you thinking?? I'd've thought an old fart like you would know a thing or two about proper music - like Led Zeppelin or the Stones or AC/DC or something.
Sheesh.
Nice send.
Was hoping to see something about your epic descent ordeal and how all that went down, too! Tell us about that!

Aw, dude ...
I just saw the post above. You listen to the Hawk!
And you put that CRAPPY pop music junk on your video? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING????
I love the Hawk. All 36 songs that they play. Over and over and over again.....

Very cool. Soundtrack needs work. More metal, less Celine Dion.

Trying to catch up on things I missed while away from ST...
I have to say that Plaid taking up climbing later in life, surviving his first somewhat [eccentric] sketch years, and ultimately soloing Zodiac (in any style over any period of time) is one of the most impressive life feats of perseverance and determination I've seen in my forty years in the sport. And he lost a ton of weight in the process finally putting him into prime free climbing territory to boot. Most of the folks I have seen try to do the same thing either quit pretty fast or were badly injured and quit - not Plaid; he stuck it out and somehow survived himself (no small deal) to accomplish a pretty amazing goal - impressive overall and definitely due some serious kudos for his effort and tenacity.

You earned it dude. Just acknowledging what might not be obvious to folks here unfamiliar with the peculiar particulars of your personal climbing odyssey.

Solo is so good.

I use a Gri Gri. Or are you just emphasising the silent part of that suggestion.

Really cool. I really liked the delirium, fatigue and ecstasy in your key message: "I got to lead some pitches, bitches!"
It was great to meet you last month at the Facelift and C4. Awesome trip video. Congratulations.
