Once Upon a Time in the Southwest 🧗🏽♀️climbing an E9 with next to no trad experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Once Upon a Time in the Southwest is a beautiful, 50 meter slab on the Devonshire coast in England. It's a benchmark E9 (6c) trad climb known for its exposure, world-class techy slab movements, and of course, its flakey holds!
I'm the fourth woman (and first American) to climb it, after Hazel, Emma, and Maddy :) I still can't really believe I put it together before leaving the UK, it feels like a dream! I really couldn't have done it without Tom's help, so thank you for letting lil ol' me stand on your shoulders for this one.

#OnceUponaTime #E9 #womentradclimbing
Hey everyone! I'll be doing a live Q&A this Sunday during the film premiere! So excited about this one- not only was it my most difficult and proudest climb to-date, but I've also spent the last month or so working on the edit and can't wait for y'all to see it :)
Beautiful climb, amazing effort, and an amazing hard work editing !
Such an inspiration you are! Congratulations!
your time and effort on the edit absolutely paid off! such a wonderfully enjoyable video to watch. the level of detail was incredible too.
E9 is like R/X, especially X, in the US. I've climbed a lot of routes without a rope, because I was young and stupid. Now, I am no longer young
Great climb. Trad is the real deal 🎉🎉🎉
Good effort, well done. Brings back some good memories of that slab.
Thank you! An incredible line
A Dave Mac sighting! Legends, both of you!
I don’t always climb scary trad but when I do, my friends, that are the literal who’s who of British trad are supporting me. Awesome film, Anna!
Lol I don't often climb trad but when I do it's got to be at least E9
The largely uncut version on the wide boys channel is one of the most beautiful climbing videos I have ever seen and will be my go to video for inspiring people about climbing. Great to see the story behind it here.
What a great effort! I’m most impressed by having the mental strength to go for it while knowing how bad the gear is, and having a high probability of falling off. I had already watched the footage on the WideBoyz channel, but I was still holding my breath watching this 😅
😅😭 it took a lot but also I knew I had to try on my last day!! Thank you!!
The emotional relief at the end of the climb made me a little teary I’m not gonna lie. Amazing effort.
Fantastic video Anna! Great climbing and great storytelling!
Thank you so much!!
Excited Tom after his send is so adorable!
I maybe wept with pride at the end. Thank you for showing me girls can crush, girls can be brave, and girls can do hard things. You are the person I'm always pushing myself to be more like, and every climb you post is a new finish line I hope to cross. Thank you, Anna. ❤️
I came from 2022 to announce that this was the best climbing moment of 2021. Such an amazing send!
I just love Tom's face at the end of the route!
This is why we climb!!!
The way your emotions structure the video is so insightful and lovely for me as someone’s who’s never gone beyond bouldering. It makes the reality of the send hit home. Huge congratulations
Thank you!!
Absolutely amazing. Congratulations Anna! As a relatively new Trad climber, this is absolutely inspiring. What an incredible journey you've been on these past few years. Yes pieces popped, and yes Tom may have climbed it cleaner, but Tom has a couple decades of Trad experience before climbing this line, you had a couple 5.9's. My mind is truly blown.
Super impressive you got the send! You had so many excuses to back down! "Damn the rock is wet from rain", "I kicked out some pro", "I got my lines crossed", "Don't remember the sequence".
Amazing effort Anna! One of the most impressive sends of the year! So inspiring!
Thanks Josh!!
easily the best video I have seen detailing the projecting process. Inspirational Anna, Really well done!!
The placements. The emotion. What a great story and a great video encapsulating the whole process
This is rad. That's the true spirit of not just climbing, but adventure. Thanks for putting this together!!!
This was sooo relatable, Anna! Thanks for sharing this side of climbing. You're a badass 💛
Thanks Jill!!!
Absolutely amazing, Anna! This is my favorite video you've put out. I love your style of describing the climb, since most of us punters aren't ever going to touch it. It really made me appreciate how hard and sketchy the whole thing really is.
Very impressive climb! I remember watching Hazel climb that on RR8 and being blown away! Such a huge accomplishment!
Anna, you are such an incredible climber, but even more so, your vibes are immaculate. I just love hearing your stories because they are so realistic but are often so positive and uplifting at the same time. I think so many people, even those of us who are not climbers, could take a lesson from this video to try our hardest, but also enjoy the journey instead of hyper focusing on the destination. 💛 you!!!
lost the nut at 16:53 and then absolutely killed the micro cam placement after! thats some impressive mental fortitude. Thanks for sharing your experience
Anna! So proud of you! Great work on this climb and this film! In the words of Hazel's dad after she sent the route, "what a classy day!" 🤘🤘🤘
"Embrassing the chaotic beautiful discomfort climbing has to offer" that's very well put. Anyway, congratulations !
What a brilliant film, and achievement! The back-story, the build-up, the music, the suspense, the determined expression at 18.18... an emotional rollercoaster!
so cool, I remember that Hazel Findlay climbed this a couple of years ago, well done, very impressive! :)
Amazing achievement Anna and great video, congratulations! Your mental strength is incredible.
Jesus! That was so emotional. I'm crying! So well done. Reminds me how climbing can feel and how cathartic it can be.
Please keep being an inspiration to climb hard and embrace the fear that comes with pushing your climbing boundaries! This was amazing to watch!
Ya habia visto antes el resultado final de tu video. Permiteme que vuelva a felicitarte, felicidades Anna, para mi, esto es escalar
Beautiful film Anna. Loved the intimate view of the journey, huge respect for completely diving into the unknown!
Huge climb and vid. I cry for the second times when you arrive at the top, and i' had already watched the Wide Boys one. Such a good effort and mental process! Thanks for the share and sorry for my bad english texte😉
Great film Anna! Could literally see the route falling appart as you send it :D
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!! You're doing such great work, and I am really enjoying your journey.
Holy production quality batwoman! That was so awesome and inspiring, thanks so much for sharing your journey with us Anna.
Great filming from Pete great sends by Tom then Anna !
Got something in my eye or allergies or something !😀
Great insight on the process. Really interesting to watch! As a noob climber, that route seems soo scary. Great effort!
Great one, Anna! Way to push through new techniques and terrain. When the Wide Boyz are involved, anything is possible.
Definitely my favorite slab climbing video of 2021!
What an awesome video. Congratulations!🎉
Good on Tom & Pete for your part in support, patience, and coaching.
DUDE this is one of the ballsiest things I’ve ever seen!!!!! What an incredible job Anna!?!?!? Super motivational…..Wow!!!!
That double clutch move was awesome! Nice send
This was soooso emotional to watch! After having seeing the fall some time ago..Smiled, teared up, felt your fear and joy. Beautiful editing! Loved it!!
Ahh-freaking-mazing Anna!! Very inspirational. Thank you for sharing your journey with us 🤸♀️💃
I love my oracles, but watching you climb 50m of slab in em - WOW lol I’m impressed and then some.
A video like this definitely deserves a subscription
This is an incredible achievement, such mental and physical strength and perseverance! As someone who has only been climbing for a year and dreams (but still doesn't dare) to try learning trad climbing, I found this incredibly moving and inspiring to watch!
Idk how you had the guts to walk up to an E9 without having fallen on gear! I needed a couple whips before I could even consider pushing myself on trad (read: projecting your warmups, lol). Such a bold send!
Would love to see more videos of this style. Thanks for sharing
That send was actually epic to watch. Well done.
This was so good! The route is looks amazing and this video is so well done, one of the best I've seen in a long time
That was unreal. Everything about it was incredible. So much love to you for being who you are. Whether you did it or not doesnt matter, but the fact that you were willing to try was what was so beautiful.
Awesome vid, thank you! It was cool to see the process in more detail after getting a glimpse of the climb over on Wide Boyz.
What a line! Love seeing you trying the Trad, I want to see more!!☺️. Well done 👍
Big congrats! Such an amazing and emotional vid, the story telling and flow of it was just bang on!! Honestly super inspirational! :)
Amazing send, well done Anna!
I hope you'll come back for some more British Trad!
Awesome....love the emotion put into the climb. Well done Anna 🥳🍾💐🤷♂️🙂
Amazing work babe!! My hands were drenched the whole time watching. You are a true inspiration!! Thank you for sharing this process and journey!!
This was a joy to watch, the story, narration, edit... Well done on the video and of course, the climb!
Love this video!! So cool to hear what was going on in your mind during this amazing process. Congratulations!!!
Someday, a climber will be cleaning a bit of a route and the entirety of the UK will suddenly crumble into the sea
Anna! Me encantó este vídeo! Cómo describes el proceso, las sensaciones, la vía!!! Inspiración total! Un abrazo 🤗
Muchas gracias chicaaa!!!!
Absolutely amazing climb aswell as video! You absolutely smashed it on all fronts on this one 🙂 thanks for putting these out and putting your heart and raw emotions into this
Congratulations, fantastic climb and you managed to make it “look easy”. 🥰👏👏
Great stuff. I really got the sense of the climb and what each part entailed. Well done, I hope a lot of people see this!

Well done Anna!! Thank you for making such a great, enjoyable video and sharing!
Awesome job in so many ways Anna. Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Conquering that fear and continuing to push further. Literally crazy. Also, reaching out and making connections within the climbing world. Wideboys are dope. Super impressed and praying for your continued success. Keep it up dude. Also, was super cool to see you climbing a few months back in the gym. Keeping crushing🤙🏽
