    One of the best videos i have seen about a very long term project and the mental battle. My favourite part was when you showed the voices in your head. I have never seen this in any video before and it was really eyeopening. Crazy how much our brain can stop us from concentrating on what really matters. I have the same doubts and voices when trying to send something hard and I am close. The biggest power a climber can have is to be able to switch off and just exicute. Congratulation on this epic journey, well deserved victory.

      The mind can be our biggest asset or a huge liability haha. It’s incredibly hard when it runs away from you. But that’s the endless journey of climbing and life 😀. Very fulfilling. I’m psyched to hear you liked it. Thank you

    I will admit, I strive to have that growth in my climbing where I can go from screaming and angry at myself to happy that I am doing what I am doing. My project at what feels like my physical limit is playing mind games with me as well. Here is to an never ending battle of the mind where joy and peace is the real victory. Wonderful climb, even better insight and growth! Thanks Tom!

    This video is gold!!! I cannot say in words how I was psyched by watching this. This is a whole new level of hard-projecting type of video. I love that there are almost no route details, focusing instead on your mental transformation and self reflection. This inspired me so much. What a piece of art right here! I am currently on my first projecting exp on a 7b trad in my home crag. After watching this I am so excited to imagine what will happen to me for the climbing journey in the next decades. Walls along with time change us.

    Such great work. We first talked about this route what seems like a lifetime ago...and I get messages from people who are in agony when not sending after a week's effort!
    I am sure you learned a lot, so much in fact that you wanted nothing more than for the lessons to stop coming! Way to keep the eyes on the prize.
    Hope all is well with you, Audrey, and Amanda. Happy holidays!

      Haha yes, Steve, that was a long long long time ago. The lessons rolled in thick. I’ve always thought there’s a lesson to be learned on each route and got frustrated at how many lesson were being learnt here haha. ‘Ok, i understand, I’m read to send now!’ Crazy journey but very fulfilling.
      We are great. Hope you and the fam are too.

    So rad! What a huge send, thanks for taking us along for the journey - such authenticity from the top level of Aussie climbing is really inspiring. The head-noise scene in particular was spot-on, I don't think I've seen a better representation of how performance anxiety manifests itself in route climbing. Love your work Tom, keep it up!
