- China Beach is one of those unique routes that possess character; ask any of its ascenders and they'll probably tell you how memorable and meaningful it was for them to climb it.
Nina Wiliams had her eyes set on it since she was a child. As a New Englander, she found herself staring at China Beach every time she'd be climbing at Waimea (Rumney, NH) and now two decades later, she came back to put up the first female ascent of this king line: CHINA BEACH 5.14B/8C
Presented by: The North Face
Film+Edit: Jordi Llauradó
This one's an absolute classic.
One of the best climbing vids from this year
Great climb, great climber, great story. This is a savage route and I am glad the FFA was done by a New Englander!
The slowmo sequence at 16:15 is absolutely stunning
really over edited IMO
@@lukeW7344 well that's just like your opinion man 🤣
@@lukeW7344Debbie fucking downer over here. It was great
Dude I didn’t breathe during the whole sequence
The single coolest thing I've ever seen in a climbing video
The level of psych I experienced from watching this is unreal. A phenomenal effort from Nina, World Class Rock, and an incredible video production. Loved the pacing and editing of this one. Watching Nina climb reminds me how joyful this sport can be. Five stars all around.
That rose move was insane 🤯
The Part from 16:00 till 16:45 is maybe the best filming of a sequence i have ever seen (And i watched a LOT of climbing videos) combined with the perfect sound/Edit for this Part ... CRAZY GOOD
i mean wtf :D it does something to me to watch that intensity so close in slow motion!
That is the best Tai Chi move that I have seen at 30meters above the ground 😂
You know when mellow pulls out a route video its going to be freaking sick! Congrats on the send!
Mellow with more free cinema. This was really inspiring.
this is one of the best videos mellow has put on the channel periodt
What a friggen stunner of a route. So happy to have been a small part of the journey and…psyched for October!!!!
Lmfao 😂 what part of this journey were you
Ughhhh... This was so good. From the storytelling, to the climbing porn, to the music and edit. Top notch through and through. More of this please 😊
"It goes!" I wish I was there... This is such a treat to watch! Thanks Nina, Thanks Mellow!!
It's nice seeing people climb something that is meaningful to them and being the first.
Nina is so kind person! You just can not stop smiling watching her smile! And what a great stroy! It Was really inspiring
First class climbing and first class cinematography. That cross under move is absolutely crazy !!!
The editing on this is extremely well done.
Makes me miss Rumney to!
Awesome. I remember watching the Dave Graham segment back in the days and thinking, wow, this cliff is one of a kind. Gorgeous filming and editing, too.
Even better in person. When I used to climb and walk under there it never got old to just look up at the huge wave of rock. I am just glad I was able to send the easiest but namesake climb Waimea
The editing starting from 12:44 is immaculate wow
Jordi is the best in the game 🔥
One of the best videos done on mellow
This is the best climbing film I’ve seen in a while. Feels like European storytelling and American production. Great job.
So sick! I got an extra second, on just about every hang, by having this video on. So inspirational to see dreams coming true.
Everything about this is fantastic. Smiling the whole time -- Nina is such an awesome person, Jordi's edit is so fucking sick, and this route is simply iconic. Nice work everyone involved!
Absolutely incredible climb, cinematography, and storytelling. The climbing sequences and music choice were CRISP. Loved every second of it.
I can't like this enough! Super inspiring climbing, and excellent job to the team that edited to tell the story!
Oh my goodness well done…that is a banger of a route!
Unreal… what an accomplishment from Nina!! And an incredible catalogue of process!
This is a booomb!! Thank you for this 20 min of pure motivation! If you don't reach a move, find your way! No excuses! The storytelling and climbing sequences are superb... MOLT FANÀTIC BOOOU💪❤
that solution to the span was the coolest thing i've ever seen
fire!!!!!! this is so cool!! lost it at the "first short asian female ascent", that's motivational 😂
The final crux slow motion... WOW!
Sick video! Beautiful sequences 😍 Nina you’re a legend, good work on this one!!
Daaaamn, insane climbing, montage and music during the ascent
best video of the last months.
The wait was worth it. Amazing to watch one of my fav climbers send a legendary route 2 hours from where I live. It's getting me pumped to climb! Great climbing, beautiful climb, brilliant camera work and editing. Thank you!
Lmfao 😂 why do you need to be pumped to climb ? Do you not enjoy climbing and desperately need motivation to climb anything ? Absolutely hilarious
@@skip1860 nope it's an amplifying feedback loop. Watching strong climbers do their thing just helps build the mental model of what's possible and what I should strive to do. In this video you can clearly see how much fun being able to work on an extremely challenging project is. I may never reach that level ( most of us won't ) but mentally we can see it and that helps build motivation to keep working hard.
@@crbrocket unfortunate that you need that
This video is so good. Great work Jordi
LET'S GO NINA!!!!!! Reppin the shorties! Love the discovery of alt beta, makin it look strong and smooth AF!
Sick video and sick send!!!!! Love the energy Nina Williams brings. Well done💥
