0:22.7	free the route in as many days as it takes and accomplish his lifelong goal of free-climbing
0:27.8	El Capitan. Follow their story in free as can be, a short climbing film brought to you by
0:33.4	Arcterics. I watched the film a few weeks ago. It's 31 minutes long. It's so well done. It's a story of

1:34.9	and crimpy area like in Waco tanks or in Leavenworth or at Smith Rocks. If I come home from a day
1:41.3	of climbing and my skin's torn up, I wash my hands and then I apply
