Sam Elias is a friend of Training Beta and a super talented, hardworking climber who we know trains hard.  VICE Sports recently released a video from Sam’s trip to Lebanon where he not only bolted and sent some of the hardest routes in the Middle East, but also reconnected with family and his heritage.

“VICE Sports travels to Lebanon with professional climber Sam Elias to face the dual challenges of exploring his family’s heritage during a time of cultural and political upheaval, and to climb the toughest routes on Mount Lebanon. Made possible by The North Face.” – VICE Sports

While this video does have some good sport climbing action, it is more than just climbing porn as it thoughtfully showcases Sam’s visits with his Lebanese relatives and how important experiencing the culture of Lebanon and reconnecting with his roots were to this trip .  Take a look and get inspired to train hard and head off on your own climbing adventure.
