- Experience fear and emotion alongside climber Jenny Abegg as she ascends a route while fighting the self-criticism and doubt from that little voice we all have in the back of our heads.
Produced by Matthew Hood
Directed by Henna Taylor
Narrated by Jenny Abegg
Original Score by Nick Vann
I really like seeing a climber being portrayed as vulnerable because the image you usually see is a fearless tough guy. The reality is this. there is no epic music in the background just an ongoing inner monologue. I love that this clip showed how to acknowledge fear and over come it.
As a climber, it's good to see a climbing video with a similar depiction of when I climb a route haha.
Very honest and showed vulnerability. Loved it!
Thankyou for making this.
fantastic story telling one of the best short climbing films I have seen. Inspiring
I really felt this one. Not a climber, but a runner and it seems I constantly have to tell myself to calm down, I can do this. Beautiful editing and capturing of this crazy feeling.
Beautiful! ... Love to see the humanity of this woman, her fear, her humility, her courage, and her beauty!
Absolutely phenomenal. Beautiful editing. This captures that inner monologue we all have when facing terrifying moments ahead of us and, more importantly, the relief, and confidence that comes with the accomplishing what we pushed ourselves to do.
We need more of this! Thank you for being honest and vulnerable.
Climbing (and outdoor activities in general) teach so many important lessons! I'm currently recovering from a shoulder injury that I experienced while doing something else and am eagerly anticipating the day when I can finally climb again. For now, that lesson is patience and caring for self. If any of you want a very interesting book about the psychology associated with rock climbing, I'd highly recommend Arno Ilgner's The Rock Warrior's Way. Maybe I should read it one of these weeks as I recover so that start climbing again with a better mental perspective.
Top notch climbing movie really, far away from the 9b+ clips with tough guys. Loved it!
Can't stop watching this video. Amazing work. I don't climb that level but can totally relate
As someone suffering from crippling anxiety, this speaks to me.
Agree with the comments-this transcends climbing or even outdoor activity. I'm a surgeon and these same internal dialogues happen all the time in the operating room, sometimes out loud, sometimes not. Great editing. For me, outdoor activity and physical activity is both fun and it trains the mind to overcome challenges and this video captures this duality very well.
Also, what a beautiful filmed and edited video.
Loved it.
Incredible and inspiring.
Beautifully shot and edited! I love the humanity that shows thru so clearly. This captured the true nature of our wonderful sport. Nothing even comes close to climbing...best sport on the planet.
I totally get this, both from my days when I climbed and now as a runner. Impressive video!
This is a very special, personal and human video at facing our fears and allowing trust in ourselves. Kudos! I loved this beautiful and honest piece, Jenny
This deserves to be on vimeo and get staff picked. Great work.
Beautiful.

Speak to Me, Ben, Softly
gives you chills
Man, I have been there. Great Job!
Waou thank you it was great to watch !
Excellent!
That was extremely powerful. I had to stop the video at some points- you feel her anxiety, bravery and persistence all in one. The honesty in this video is refreshing. Would have liked to see it end more on a positive note versus the barren scene.
Very good one.
....incredible
Great video.
I'll be speechless....
OR has a blog post on the film worth reading too!

Climbers are crazy you know but then people call me crazy for hiking long distance and sleeping in the woods for 4months.
