This week's Friday Night Video follows Dylan Soin as he projects outrageously hard sport climbs in Nowra, Australia. Dylan has impressively 'bouldered his age' with an ascent of Deep Blue Sea, a classic V12/V13 boulder problem in Sydney, and he is currently projecting f8c routes.
Filmmaker Lucas Corroto had this to say about Dylan:
'It is not just his climbing achievements that set him apart, but his psyche, his energy and his positive attitude, not only towards his climbing but also towards everyone around him. He is the first one to tell you "you can do it" and come and pat you on the back. "Wise Dylan" will always encourage you to try harder and when he gets to the crag, everyone instantly levels up! His psyche is more than contagious, it is a trait that inspires everyone around him.'
