Unpublished Video Shows Late Brad Gobright Free Soloing

An unpublished video has emerged showing late climber Brad Gobright free soloing a high-difficulty route, revealing his skills before his tragic 2019 death.

The video showcases Gobright, who aspired to be as skilled as Alex Honnold, scaling a challenging route without safety ropes. Despite his fame as the "new king of solo integral climbing," Gobright maintained a low profile with a nomadic lifestyle.

Gobright, who joined the tradition of legendary rope-free climbers including Bachar, Croft, Osman, and Potter, died in 2019 in a preventable accident while rappelling with a companion. The fatal accident occurred when the rope ended without a knot, and they failed to notice. albergomalica.it
