Exploring Thailand - Alex Johnson - 2016
Cameron Maier (2016)
Thailand has been a climber’s destination for a long time now. But what makes it so special and what is the country really like? Who are the local climbers and what keeps them motivated? Ton Sai, in the south, is much different from Chiang Mai, in the north. And most people have never heard of Khon Kaen, a tropical bouldering sanctuary tucked far away from the Western tourist influence. Alex Johnson and friends explore via their own two feet, tuk-tuk, moped, 4×4 and airplane to find out and report back, with the friendly help of the Thai people.Exploring Thailand - Alex Johnson - 2016

Craig's reaction
Cameron Maier (2018)
In 2002, Craig DeMartino was climbing with a friend in Rocky Mountain National Park when a terrible miscommunication occurred; DeMartino fell nearly 100 feet onto the rocks below. He survived, but his injuries were devastating — ruptured lung, fractured spine, pulverized feet, among others — and the accident forever altered his life. He could have retreated into his injuries and given up on climbing. Instead, DeMartino, who had one leg amputated under the knee, got back into his harness. Today, he has climbed grades as hard as 5.13, led an all-disabled ascent of El Capitan and introduced scores of fellow disabled athletes to the joy of climbing.- 2018
