Who's climbing hard in eldo?

My name's Taylor and I'm a videographer interning at Sender Films for the summer. I'm looking to work on a personal project while I'm here the next couple months. I've made one climbing documentary before and I think it worked out well...

Now I want to tell another story. I'd love to hear from Mountain Project about who around town has a great story to tell. Perhaps some hardman Eldo climber, still putting up impressive leads. Someone who would make for a great character piece. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Maybe try to get in touch with Steve Levin. I think quite a few people would be interested in a video about how he made his Eldo guide book and the different things he encountered along the way.

People who are climbing hard have mostly left Eldo...

What are your targeted audiences? Personally I find the hardman-hermit theme pretty tired already. How about some more under-the-radar up & coming climbers (like Scott & Brad that hold the Naked Edge record) that are cranking all over but still find a lot of allure in Eldo?

Crushing eldo 5.5's right now... Meet me at the base of breezy at 7:30.

Scott Bennett, and Brad Gob right if he's around. I doubt Hayden Kennedy is around, Chris Weidner's wife Heather sent Mustang Been High, and Jen Fleming has been sending 13's like Fraid Line.

you can film me on the bastille. It is 5.7, so practically leagues ahead of Scott McMahon.

If you really want the heavy hitters in the area check out the boulder outside the BRC. I see people crushing that thing all the time.

Tomorrow morning, my Wife and I will make the Naked Edge look like a cakewalk. Car to car in 4 or 5 hrs. no problemo...

Seriously though, Chris Weidner's old lady climbed Musta' Been High?!! That is ridiculously awesome. If you could interview her and have her also uber honed husband serving kale juice during the interview would be a win/win!

Edited to add, LIV also has a great idea with Steve Levin. But I also think Sender should do a Front Range Freaks II, they missed sooo many truly unstable maniacs the 1st time. Not that I think Steve is unstable in the least, but a freak for sure and probably a fantastic perspective and story.

Just watched your video "Charlie", great job! One of the better climbing shorts I have ever seen. Well done.

The sit start on that is going at V1-RX+.

Aaron Ramras. Recently did Fraid Line for his first 13 lead.

Just don't let him start talking about his 'sail'.
