Lennart Green is actually one of DaOrtiz "parents" in magic (the other being Juan Tamariz). You can see Lennart's spirit in his use of chaos.

Re:Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year? on Saturday January 01, 2022 @07:57AM (#29757925)

Oh, the video is not mine, sorry if I mislead you. It is just a video I found some time ago. The channel is quite good in my opinion though.

Re:Happy New Year HN! What are your plans for the new year? on Friday December 31, 2021 @05:42AM (#29746715)

Happy New Year!

I am in the same line as you, I don't have any "new year promises" but I will try to focus on my health: eating better and training more.

This is discussed in a video I think is specially relevant today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVGuFdX5guE

Sadly, a Spanish climber of the expedition (not on the party that made the ascent) perished when descending from acclimation.
