- Long Live Brad Gobright. I was cleaning out some hard drives and stumbled upon an interview I shot with Brad about a year after we filmed Safety 3rd, and only a couple months before he passed in a climbing accident. At the time I shot this I was thinking of starting a "talk show" and then I got sidetracked by other adventures and completely forgot this footage existed. It was bittersweet to revisit this interview, but I'm excited to release it to the world and watching it reinforced and reminded me of the fact that Brad was just a salt of the earth good dude, and truly a world class friend and climber.
Thanks for sharing cedar. That was great. I only roped up with Brad a few times, but when I did it was quick walls, such a fun partner. What a legend 💪

I climbed and traveled extensively with Brad from 2009-14. He was truly a one of a kind person. I miss him and the world is a little bit worse off without him.
as a complete stranger but also in a way being a fan of brad bc watching so much of him i feel he was just such a good dude man. did he pass away from soloing? i thought it was a bad tie off or something
Brad is smiling right now, what a beautiful friendship.
It’s so bitter sweet…such a monster on the rock.
This is so great. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.
I always felt some solidarity with Brad growing up in Denver. My climbing career kinda traced the line of his bigger films, really learning to climb in all the same places he was throwing the fuck down at. Everything in Eldo, the Grammici film in the Creek, etc. I was so heartbroken when he died, and I can hardly imagine how intense that feeling was for people with a real relationship with him, instead of a parasocial one like mine. Glad you waited to put this out, Brad’s legacy deserved time to settle, and people who loved him deserved time to do the same. A friend of mine recently spent the night on the ledge his partner landed on during the accident to avoid rapping off in the dark, so what happened to him has positively affected the safety and risk calculus of at least one person. I take some solace in that. Thanks for sharing, Cedar.
Such a fun person. I thought he was severely underrated as a climber before this conversation and now find out he also murdered on the moonboard. I'm not surprised, it was just nice to hear. RIP
Thank you for posting. My condolences. Brad Gobright RIP. Very sad he had the accident.
this was great - thank you for releasing it. World lost a good soul too soon
Brad - the incredibly gifted, everyday Superman! Thank you Cedar for this fun, inside-baseball in memoriam.
Safety third is still one of my favorite climbing movies. So sick. Thanks for sharing!
RIP to the legend and best dirtbag. The gym bro antithesis ❤
Does anyone else feel like that was actually the perfect way to end the interview 😂 . Would have liked it if it went longer, but seems very fitting to the style.
Big love!!
RIP. Thanks for sharing Cedar. Happy to keep the memory of Brad alive and the excitement for climbing amazing walls in pure style.
I never met Brad, but was deeply saddened by his loss. In EPC right now, for the first time. Thanks for posting, Cedar.
Thanks for this Cedar. Miss ya Brad. RIP
Im am over stoked new climber recovering from an ankle break and Brad is such a hero. I watched safety third for the first time just the other day less than a week after surgery on my foot. Thanks so much for posting.
Can’t wait for this! Thank you for sharing Cedar, RIP BRAD GOBRIGHT!
Thanks for another great snapshot into a legends’ life Cedar. Brad has and always will be an inspiration, I remember him passing us on Epinephrine and giving beta to the guy struggling on lead while soloing. I’ll always wonder what else he could have accomplished in the climbing world. ❤
that is a SICK story/memory. amazing
What a sweet, sweet soul! RIP
Omg can not wait.
Cedar Wright is probably the ONLY one who should make a video on Brad Gobright.
Wow Cedar. Can’t wait! You are always informative while being incredibly entertaining. Big fan.
I never knew Brad but he inspired me a lot. Thanks for making this Cedar, Brad was such a unique, amazing climber
Thank you for posting this. Brad was such an awesome dude and had so much natural talent. I never met him but his energy seemed so contagious and he really was such a light in this world. Im sure he is smiling down remembering all the fond times yall hard together. Rest in Paradise Brad.
Two legends at ease, waxing on life's attitude. RIP Brad.
Never get enough of Brad! Thanks for releasing this Cedar!
I was at Virgin River Gorge, wanting to get on a classic 12. I asked multiple people if they’d belay me. Rejected, I started packing up to go to the other crag. Brad asks me if I wanted a belay. I didn’t know who he was. Super down to earth. I soon saw him on the front cover of a magazine and messaged him on Facebook. I don’t remember him acting this weird, without cameras on him. He seems to be uncomfortable with cameras lol. Dude was an alien.
❤! What a genuine character.
Thanks Cedar, wish Brad was still here. Love is attitude on life.
Thanks you for sharing this Cedar! I hoped this interview would go on forever!
Thanks for sharing this!! Great interview. Long live Brad Gobright
Rest easy Brad 🤙 what a tragic accident on Sendero. Always double check your gear and your systems folks!
Bittersweet for sure. Thanks for sharing this with us and showcasing Brad’s unique talents.

Thank you for sharing Cedar. I miss watching Brad.
That was sick Cedar! Thanks for sharing man! I wish I had run into Brad climbing out here in Vegas before he passed.
Thanks Ceedy! That was awesome!.....man Brad just makes you wanna go out and climb mountains, woohooo!
I can't believe I actually google to check if Honnold was ever in Playgirl.
I wish!
He was naked in ESPN magazine's Naked issue, though.
Thank you cedar for sharing this.
cedar is a national treasure, thanks for releasing this man
damn, never met brad but I miss him, was becoming such a big fan before he passed. RIP Brad
Thank you for sharing this, Cedar!

One of the greats.

Cedar - thanks for posting this!
Thanks for the footage Ceday!
Thank you for posting this
So damn good. Thank you so much for sharing this. : )
This is great!! He is a legend!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen safety third; I have it queued on Outside and will watch immediately after this video.
Thanks for this clip. ❤
RIP Brad! One of the great!
Thank you
Thank you Cedar.
Golden! This so golden! And sort of unreal. It feels like nothing has happened. Love the black and white style. Who has crashed the set at end? Was that Sanni?
Only complaint is that it wasn’t longer. Thanks for sharing Cedar.
Me and my partner raced Brad to the start of West Crack thinking he was a complete Gumby. We didn’t realize who he was until he started soloing the route while his partner caught up lol! RIP Brad
Brad was the best. RIP
Long Live Brad Gobright
“Honnolds got the academy award and the record on the nose”
Brads face hahah “ya ya I know”
Thanks for that.
Thanks Cedar.

Haha great job sliding in that classic PlayGirl cover 😂
Rest in Piece Brad
Legend

❤
Cedar da goat
RIP
Rip
money shot
great guy
Cedar, did you get another pug?
Is that Sani?
Why isn't safety third on red bull tv?
Because I own it, not reel rock. I licensed it to them for the tour but not for streaming 😉
@@CedarWrightwhere can we watch it? Was trying to find somewhere to stream it and the only option I saw was sign up for $90 outside+ membership. Can I send you money and you send me the film?
You can stream it for a small one time fee from my Vimeo on demand page
@@CedarWright I get that you obviously have to earn a living and people should pay for the media that they consume, but it seems very sad for the best video of Brad to be stuck behind a paywall. This won't help his legacy as a climber to be remembered, as time goes on his name will be heard by less people than it would by say it remaining on red bull tv which is a fairly large platform. I'm fortunate enough to have seen your video when it was freely available on RBTV and will forever look up to him as a climber, but people discovering climbing now will likely never even learn of the video. Just a thought.
You can also watch it on outside tv if you are a member of their streaming service. Redbull TV isn’t exactly a huge audience…. Also that streaming license is up in another year and I can relicense it somewhere else if I want . Safety 3rd is going to always have an audience which probably will grow over time.
My opinion but not a fan of the black and white.
Creative choice… 🖖
I am kinda concerned that people will watch this and maybe they pulled off a couple stiff routes and may be drawn to free soloing.
Well, all I can say is to do it only for yourself. If you are up, say 500 feet, and you blow it and as you are falling you were doing it so someone will stand up and take notice you had a very bad trick played on you.
great to listen too - thank you!
