I agree I wish my mum was that excited when I did Wall of Horrors at Almscliffe at the age of 17, she couldn't have cared less.

Hmmm. I doubt anyone who is as dedicated to getting that good is actually that chilled. I've a 'chilled' teenager in the house right now and everything is "whatever" - not the level of motivation shown here.

Brilliant. There was a vid of him about five years ago now doing something belayed by his mother. Glad he's still psyched.

I think its important to make the distinction between chilled and apathetic.

And probably between seemingly chilled on video and actually chilled Anyway I'm not trying to knock the guy's on video persona - just pointing out that there must be something a bit unusually motivated and not so laid back in him for him to get where he has.

He's obviously incredibly motivated. That doesn't mean he gets all 'Ondra' when he falls off something. He's very much got the right attitude from what I could see. He's enjoying the journey and not fixating on the goal. That combined with his mahoosive ape index and hands like a bunch of bananas should serve him well.

I'm not sure he isn't fixated on the goal. I presume that someone financing his trip hopes so
