You should get into climbing, live your life how you want and don't let people stop you! If you don't want to do climbing find another hobby. Stay busy and your life will be great

Brad was kind enough to say hi to me and ask me about my broken leg. He sat next to me when we both first watched his reel rock film on the nose speed record at the Castro theatre in SF. He smelled like a dirty climber but his heart and soul filled the entire theater with laughter and awe. RIP my brother.
RIP 💔Right before I went to Yosemite last year, I was at a film festival where they showed a video of Brad. Went to Yosemite and got to meet him there. Such a cool quirky person and an amazing climber!
Brad Gobright, a very brave and talented climber and explorer of heights, RIP. I wish I had your determination and spirit of adventure, and bravery to see all those wonderful sights. All good wishes for Brad's family and friends.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate how he clipped that QuickDraw like it was a cam, he unclipped it and put it in his mouth and instinctively tried to grab a trigger 😂
A great film about a phenomenally bold, strong and committed climber. Whilst I think Cedar's heart was in the right place, I think his film doesn't do Brad justice. He is an amazing climber and the fact his persona bucks the trend of being "cool" I think in reality this talks to so many more people in climbing because it is so honest. I hope that the sponsors and film makers are reading or listening to these kinds of comments!!
I keep coming back to this video of Brad for that exact reason. Although endearingly goofy, he was a wise soul with some impressive fucking technique (that stemming sequence was simply beautiful).
I spent my summer working in the employee gym in Yosemite watching Brad bum wifi and try to finesse free meals in the cafeteria. Such a humble down to earth guy. You would've thought he was just another Yosemite climbing bum if you didn't know his face. Rest in peace man.
Tasteful Shred he didn’t FORGET. He intentionally left it off because if you rappel onto your knot then it can get jammed in your device. He was trying to save time and he intentionally made a sacrifice in safety.
haha, on my last trip to the US, I have been exactly at the parking spot. I had a look at the climbs, put my climbing gear back into the car, went for a hike and had a beer in Moab.
@@timtimson313 what does a climbing route in the desert have to do with a rappelling accident in Mexico?? Be safe, triple check your knots and climb on
Darius Allison climbers die all the time by rappelling off the end of their ropes, so I was staying to “close the system” by tying knots at the end of the ropes before you rappel so you can’t rap off the end
I really like what you said at 10:50 - currently working "some full time job" while dreaming about something like this full time some day soon - very inspiring & motivating, thank you!
I've always been fascinated by the red sandstone cracks of Indian Creek etc.....they are so aesthetically perfect in their appearance, both color and the smoothness of that red sandstone.....being from eastern Canada, I have little experience climbing such aesthetically beautiful rock!
No need to be in denial. James is right. Brad WAS a risk taker. We all knew it, and he did too. The difference is that James Taggert is still alive, and his family and friends aren't grieving. Be careful out there folks. RiP Brad
@7:15 when he reaches for that draw I thought he was going to grab it but he gets its swinging and shortened the clip ! RIP Brad you were an amazing climber and human being. Peace
Respect your skill and determination. Placing protection is the only way to climb responsibly. As a grandparent I'm apalled at rope-less climbers. Terrific photography.

I watched him FOR THE FIRST TIME on utube setting a new record. WOW I'm so sad to say just 2 days later after watch him for the first time he passed away....such a risky sport, God bless the men and women who choose to challenge them selfs to that extent.
Don't understand how he is still on @9:06!? Great climber. Anyone know what the deal is with the 2 belay loops you can see when he's racking up around 1:10? Looks like the black one has a buckle and has been added but not sure why?
I bet he'd be a lot happier if he was still alive doing what he loved. You can't boil it down to that, and I can't imagine falling 300 meters to your death is "doing what he loved" either. That fall is more than long enough to realise you're dead. I've taken huge sport falls and had time to think "why haven't I stopped yet?". Absolutely terrifying way to go, and I feel so sorry for him, and his family and friends.

Great little documentary. I'm not a climber but I can certainly feel his good character. Sad he passed away but he did it climbing.
It's nice to see a climb hero be so humble and simple. He's not trying to make it somehow spiritual or overly epic: just good'ol hard climbing.
RIP
Very nice and authentic film. Love the spirit

Damn you were a crazy super-stoked dude Brad Gobshite. RIP brother, wish you could have been here awhile longer.
Hopefully there are some gnarly routes in heaven for you to climb brother. RIP.
