Econoline Camper on 60 Minutes Last Night

[Bobfab]

Did anyone happen to catch 60-minutes last night? They were featuring this young climber who was very into freeclimbing. They spent a couple minutes and showed his Econoline minimalist camper. I couldnt hear the words (football was on other TVs) but i believe they elaborated on his setup. He also discussed the freedom associated with being able to travel so light and anywhere to get to the "next rock face". I figured the Expo crowd would love that :sombrero:

Incredible story, I think there is another thread out there as well.

Here is the link. The bit on the Econoline starts at 5:26.

Nuts. My hands were sweating as I watched that.

He doesn't need a 4x4 van, he needs a parachute!

X2. Watching world class climbers always humbles me.

The player on CBS's site leaves much to be desired. Here's the same story on YT.

Cool van, someone should be able to pick it up cheap when he finally comes to Jesus. Free Climbers eventually slip and it just takes one..................
