Video of Shaken, Not Stirred

Eddie Phay posted a 22 minute climber’s-eye video of an ascent of Shaken, Not Stirred on Vimeo. Crazy cool to watch their ascent and have it feel so familiar. Watching it, I felt like I knew exactly where the next stick of the pick was going to land and where the next gear was going in. Also interesting to watch what has changed in climbing since Jim and I made the route’s FA in 1997. (Damn, those axes and screws look good… and so do those gloves.

 

 

 

Here’s my account of making the route’s first ascent with Jim Donini, in May 1997.
