This week's Friday Night Video features the late Brad Gobright in conversation with Cedar Wright. The pair talk through some of Brad's notorious ascents featured in the Reel Rock film Safety 3rd and his perspective afterwards.
Brad sadly died in an accident while descending from a route in El Potrero in 2019. He will long be remembered for his outrageous solo ascents - including Hairstyles and Attitudes 5.12b/c on the Bastille in Eldorado Canyon and his multiple free solos of the Rostrum in Yosemite - in addition to his many record-breaking speed ascents of big wall climbs.
On the interview, Cedar Wright said: 'It was bittersweet to revisit this interview, but I'm excited to release it to the world and watching it reinforced and reminded me of the fact that Brad was just a salt of the earth good dude, and truly a world class friend and climber.'
