Conrad Anker is a living legend in the climbing world. Soft spoken yet driven, I’ve always had a ton of respect for Conrad for the cutting edge climbs he’s done and for the way he lives and carries himself. All climbers have some sort of gear room; whether it’s a garage, closet, or a few bins in their dirtbag van, climbers have a deep connection with their gear that includes how it is stored. I know I will often peruse through my gear room, thinking of the stories told by pieces of gear; falls taken, friends climbed with, summits reached.
Here’s an insightful video looking at Conrad Anker’s gear room. Enjoy.
