    @christopherw179 3 года назад +57

    Tommy is one of the best climbers in the world and the look on his face when Adam tells him he's only done 4 trad pitches before the Dawn Wall says a lot about how impressed Tommy was by that. Almost "stop it your making us all look bad impressed" haha

    I like the way Adam is getting these legends to interview but Adam is such a legend himself they end up interviewing him. It’s like the immovable object vs unstoppable force theory in interview form.
