You read that title right: Stefano Ghisolfi not only sent Goldrake, a technical and burly 5.15 (9a+) located in Northern Italy, but he did so with an injured finger.

This week’s Friday Flick Pick pays homage to a climber tenacious enough to complete a monstrous sport climb, even while injured. And with holidays in full swing, what’s more heartwarming than indulging in an incredible performance of serious try hard … from the comforts of your cozy couch?
