PYT learns to footlock on her first rec climb

[Daniel]

Video shows a young woman learning to footlock on her first recreational climb. I was impressed with how fast she learned. She had the technique down in a matter of minutes..

There's a short 9 minute version of just the footlocking, and a longer 28 minute version of the entire climb. There are a few good climbing tips for novices in the longer version..

Way to show her how to use the safety lanyard...DORK

I couldn't watch the whole thing. It seems like Daniel is using every possible excuse to touch the PYT. It's kind of a sleezfest.

It's pretty creepy. But I give the Dadio props for filming his courtship of a woman who is not interested in him that way.

I clicked on the 28 minute version and had to switch it off after 30 seconds

I lasted just short of two minutes. Easily one of the most boring videos that has has come on this site.

It sucks because PYT is a great song, but now when I hear it all i can think about is Daniel groping that poor frizzy haired woman, telling her she's the perfect strength to weight ratio, and just call me Dadio.

Who's filming this again? What kind of person can stand back and videotape this kind of sexual harassment? It boggles my mind.

I hope Daniel got a chance to show her the two cover shots he got taken of him for the world's largest trade publication (according to Daniel's website), the TCIA Tree Worker! He pretty much wrote the book on tapered hinges and footlocking. In fact, Tom Dunlap told him it was the best article he had ever read about any subject.

These videos are gold, ladies and gentleman.

Well folks,

At least Daniel is always outside the box, and by the look of her body language in that clip, he's guaranteed to stay there...

Daniel, she did very well.

I read all the post first then watched the vid. You guys are funny but wtf are you all talking about. I thought she did great. Daniel do you charge for these lessons or is she a friend?

 

[jmcscrap]

I agree she did well, but what the hell is the point of this? I don't get the point of most Dans videos, but some of them are at least entertaining (in that whats going to go wrong kind of way) - this was just a guy playing grab with a "dancer". Awkward, creepy, and in no way anything but a guy looking for attention.
