I love the humbling zoom out at the end. Here’s one little guy trying his best for a long time to get a small part of a big mountain and there’s so much more.
this video is truly awsome and this is one of the wildest and most beautiful places I have ever been (8 months). i'm freakin motivated right now. goooooooood job
"Is there anything you'd like to say to your sponsors?" "Yea, can I 'ave some money?" Just about choked on a muffin during that bit. Bloody fantastic video. I want to see more from this climber and from the photographer.
+ClimbTasmania Probably my favorite first ascent short of all time. I've seen it 5+ times now, and it never gets old. That orange streaked rock draws me in every time, and Augmentium is now on my long list of routes to do!
I would SO love to see people wearing helmets. I know it looks geeky, especially on steep routes that risk mostly clear-air falls, but still. They weigh so little these days! Great video! The final drone shots are amazing! I climbed that hard once....then I woke up.
+Peter Lewis Hey yeah if you want to see people climbing with a helmet, then go rock climbing with a helmet and look in a mirror. More people die in one day in New York by getting hit by cars while walking to work then all the climbers in the world combined in a year, helmet or not.
I mostly don't use a helmet on single pitch routes. (I have done on a few trad ones) I have long hair too, but Peter If you like wearing helmets at any crag, I dont blame you. Props to you for staying safe :)
Peter, usually I would agree with you, the main reason I wear a helmet is rockfall so I wear one when I belay or doing a route where rockfall is likely from above. However, given the risks of this already scary route regarding groundfalls onto ledges or protection coming out the risk of serious injury from rockfall alone decreases significantly as a percentage. If you're willing to accept risk with trad due to falls on badly placed gear (not saying gear isn't placed well here) you're probably also willing to risk an unlikely rock on the head.
+Half Price Panda The song that plays through most of the movie is My Dress Hangs There by Violet you can hear it at: www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/violet-0
Squib, this is Seth. 30 Americans and myself are enroute to your location. Our mission is simple: scream all over every climb ( including phrases such as, "sick bro!") and tick mark every known hold. Also you should come with me to China and do some crag exploring with me. Awesome video, shoot me a message or email

Where did "send it" come from in climbing? I've shared beautiful places like Moab, Utah with climbers but I'm ultimately a BASE jumper. Have the sports been in such proximity that the language has crossed over? Or have all climbers realised the fun way down and picked up BASE jumping? :)
i thought it came from mountaineering. To "ascend" the mountain is the goal, or to "send", therefore climbing takes it on board as to ascend the route, or send it.
That first nut placement made just before the fall after the video starts had me screaming "Zipper". Even as he just started to climb above it the rope was already beginning to pull the wire up, Why Why Why did he not put at least a 12" runner to keep that from happening. I just don't understand, that is the trademark of a wise trad climber. Solid placement with excellent rope freedom, especially when the route begins to traverse around, Rope drag becomes a huge burden and danger. "Runners" that's all I am saying. Great video though. Thanks for sharing. Yes helmets too as mentioned by another. I am guilty as charged however. When I was climbing in the 80's and 90's I only used my helmet when Ice climbing. In hind sight I was lucky and would recommend one for all Trad climbing. Long falls can and do happen.
"if i had boobs i'd be sponsored" come on now... no, if you climbed 9b+ you'd be sponsored. Sick climb, but no need to bring gender into it. No one wants to see Ondra's boobs, but they do want to see him throw down 9c.

One of the most awesome climbing videos I have seen . Thanks for the entertainment and I'm adding tasmainia to my climbing bucket list for sure !!!
Top notch, Climbing, Route, Filming, Video Production, Music, everything! Just perfectly executed. Thanks!!
this video is truly awsome and this is one of the wildest and most beautiful places I have ever been (8 months). i'm freakin motivated right now. goooooooood job
Never get bored of this video. Inspiring for sure!
Wow. Great story, great storytelling, great everything. 🎩
Truly impressed by the quality of the video! The climbing was also top notch, really inspiring!
Soo good. Would have liked to see the raw run with placements included. Beautifully done.
"Is there anything you'd like to say to your sponsors?"
"Yea, can I 'ave some money?"
Just about choked on a muffin during that bit.
Bloody fantastic video. I want to see more from this climber and from the photographer.
Awesome climb, fantastic video!
awesome route, location, and climbing
that's awesome. really well done. what a route!!!!
thanks mate! It's nice to look at but even better to climb - trust me!
Such an amazing line in a beautiful location !
Looks great and almost incredible performance
What a great way to name a climb.... those are the best when they have a story behind the name!
i just want to say that i watched this for the first time in ages and its f@$cking awesome! squib is the man
+ClimbTasmania Probably my favorite first ascent short of all time. I've seen it 5+ times now, and it never gets old. That orange streaked rock draws me in every time, and Augmentium is now on my long list of routes to do!
Absolutely! The interview, filming, editing and music are all excellent. And of course the part of the story about the dream is perfect.
this is one of the dopest sends i have ever seen
amazing climb, and very good video
Aswesome climbing and great music!

+Distilled Media THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
That rock looks so perfect!
This rock looks so damn good. Nice work on SENDING!
AUGMENTIUM LOL That's awesome! That should totally be used in some superhero movie.
I would SO love to see people wearing helmets. I know it looks geeky, especially on steep routes that risk mostly clear-air falls, but still. They weigh so little these days! Great video! The final drone shots are amazing! I climbed that hard once....then I woke up.
Peter Lewis you can't fit Dreds that big into a helmet…. plus…if you fall the dred locks pad your head just like a helmet….

Distilled Media pretty dumb justification. That’s like saying you won’t wear a seatbelt because people die in cars everyday...

When the first shot is of the dood wearing an Oldboy shirt you know your in for a wild ride
sweet vid. rad climb and location
What a beautiful line...
Well done Squib!! You are my hero :)
Pasi
what a place! i also started doing long and right now aiming at trad bc of the mental aspect too. i resonate with every word you said. congrats
Great "impossible" camera angles
That was fantastic.
what is the song at 2:19 please someone
Hey man fantastic work in the climb. I was just wondering if I could have all the music because it's awesome. Love the dreds by the way.
Thanks

incredible climbing
Way above that last blue alien. Heady. Nice!
How many people do you need to send a wall? Well, five. One climber, one belayer and three people who operate the camera drones.
This looks so damn beautiful
this is sick, keep it up
Amazing vid guys!! Do you know whats the track playing from the beginning 0:50 till almost 2:50??? thx!
+Tamás Dános The song that plays through most of the movie is My Dress Hangs There by Violet you can hear it at: www.triplejunearthed.com/artist/violet-0
First off, nice send. Secondly: What is the name of that Django tune at the end of the video? Fire!
Rad story! Rad climb!
amazing
This guy is awesome :D
Great etymology 😀
Add an old boy t-shirt he was wearing in the beginning? Must cop.

What harness is that ?
Damn anyone know where can I get me some Augmentium?
So could use some augmentium myself.
Rocking the Old Boy T
Lovely video.Great story about the name,and I totally
agree about how forgettable sport routes are.
why are there no comments about that super-bad OldBoy shirt he has on?!?!
because most of climbers have no idea about good movies
Mates cooked but in here for it
Squibber minster yao noi!! kap
props to anyone who knows what movie the shirt he wears in the interview is from.
Just commented I thought it was old boy

mike swift agree about the runners ... but maybe it is his sport climbing experience that clouds his judgement ... excellent send nonetheless.
put the smoke down.
"if i had boobs i'd be sponsored"
come on now... no, if you climbed 9b+ you'd be sponsored. Sick climb, but no need to bring gender into it. No one wants to see Ondra's boobs, but they do want to see him throw down 9c.
