"Good luck trying to turn this into an animated short"
That's one of the best lines to ever end a video on, and because the animated short is so good you know that creating it was way more than just luck.
And because the storyteller is a guy who performed one of the most ridiculously impressive feats of human physical and mental activity by climbing a 3000ft mountain face with NO ROPES OR SAFETY GEAR (What!?!), you're also getting a very unique story and perspective.
So here's a 3-minute lesson and 3-minute animation on climbing stupidly big walls, creativity, overcoming obstacles, risk, and life and death.
Enjoy.
