00:00When I think about a hard goal, at the beginning I don't know if I can do it or not.
00:10It's a big question mark.
00:12I never thought that I would get to the top and free the whole line.
00:23Some people maybe think, why do you go back every year?
00:31I can't have enough from El Clep, it's such a special wall.
00:47Yosemite is a really special place for us.
00:50We feel small every time we walk to the wall.
00:53I know it's right to be here because when we are at the base, the same thing happens.
01:00Every time when we are here, it's never the same and always a big adventure.
01:17Life on the wall is incredible.
01:22It's not just climbing, it's all about the other stuff you have to do on the wall.
01:26It's about hauling, stashing, food and water and a lot of work is included.
01:32I need to clean the route.
01:34It's not the first bridge I have to clean.
01:37It needs a lot of work and I don't like it so much.
01:41Best conditions for climbing.
01:45For me it's one of the best things in climbing, staying on the wall for days and having a simple life up there, staying totally focused.
02:07You don't have to think about anything else and this makes it so special.
02:12I don't have this in sport climbing or in other styles of climbing.
02:16You are really forced to live a really simple life.
02:19It's a really simple life.
02:49It's a really simple life.
03:07At the beginning when you start to work on a project, most of the time I struggle from beginning on because I don't know the moves and everything feels super hard for me.
03:16I don't think about the last pitches, otherwise it would be totally frustrating for me.
03:26I just focus on the pitch I am working on at the moment.
03:35I don't expect that I will send it at the end.
03:38This is not the most important for me.
03:39It's just like the big adventure to go there and to see what happened.
03:44It's not about the climbing itself.
03:47It's more like the time you spend together and the experience you have.
03:52The perfect moment is definitely this moment when you stand together up there on the summit and both did the route.
03:59It's something really special.
04:02I don't expect that there will be a long所 of going to need.
04:04You can't walk a fool.
04:08I don't expect that there will be the new movies in your life.
04:27I got it.
04:29Yahoo!
04:31Keep friends!
04:33I don't know what you're doing.
04:35You're very beautiful!
04:39Let's go ahead, let's go ahead, let's go ahead.
