Francisco Marín - Never Give Up

It is never too late. Francisco Marín is a great example of human will. Spanish born known in the climbing community as "Novato" (Rookie), is a 61-year-old climber and the only known person in the world to climb at this level at his age - Francisco is actually sending 5.14. He climbed his first 5.13b at age 52, his first 5.13d at 54, and his first 5.14 at 58. Now, he set his mind to climb 5.14b, a project called "Florida" in Rodellar, Spain.

Watch Francisco to speak about his devotion, life and experience. It is also great to see father and son, Edu Marin, a pro climber who regularly climb 5.15s, to climb together. As Francisco put it, "Keep trying, train and get stronger, that's the way to go". Watch it to the end, it's worth every minute.
