This was the guy who was doing Alex Honold shite way before Honold. Very very different character though who lived even more on the edge than Alex and seemed to have been driven more by demons whereas Alex seems to be driven by his neurodivergence.

I was going to post about this.

I ran into him at Hueco Tanks in the late 90s when he was an unknown, and then a couple of years later at Camp 4. His fear center was more depressed than even the boldest climbers. He should have stuck to climbing.


It is a 4 part doc, the first is out and they drop on Tuesdays.

Once Dean got into wingsuiting, I knew it was just a matter of time… pretty awesome that you met him. He was always an interesting athlete to follow, but I definitely wish he could have worked through all his personal shite and matured into an elder statesman of climbing. But then… that wouldn’t have been very Dean of him.
