Great video! I was in Annot and stood under this climb in awe of the line and difficulty. It's an amazing area, there are great sunny trad routes for everybody.
It is so impressive and inspiring to see this climb. I do think it is a pity there were so many cuts. Many moves were skipped that regret not being and to see too.
Agreed, I really don't understand why big climbing brands will sponsor amazing athletes, pay to make films like this and then cut up the footage so much that you barely get to enjoy the movement
how does it come, that the gear at 8:30 was already in place? to complex to set up during a lead attempt or way to far to the right from the line to place it? now bashing, just curious (better safe then sorry ;) - great and impressive send 💪
Could be fixed slings threaded through a pocket. There's another earlier in the route as well by the look of it. Since these are tied off slings, it wouldn't be practice to place and remove all the time.
Nice video, a little confused about the style. Seemed like there was quite a bit of preplaced/fixed gear? Obv she runs it out a bit and it is a serious route tho
It looks like the only preplaced pieces are threads. As far as I know, it's ok to have the ropes/slings in place, as they can be really hard if not impossible to place on lead.
UK technical grade of 7a used to grade the hardest move on the pitch doesn't directly translate to French grades much harder than anything you would find on a French 7a route, very roughly a Brit tsch 7a route could be anywhere from 5.13a to 5.14a. The E10 bit is called the adjective grade and gives an overall picture of the route including the protection, how sustained etc. basically E10 7a mean bloomin' hard!
Congrats on the climb. Should pay attention to the rope crossing your leg at the 9min mark. Rope should always be in front, speciallly if not wearing a helmet. I don't understand why Black Diamond insists on posting videos where helmet is not used.
Wow, good thing your here to save this poor clueless climber from herself 🙄 You do realize this is one of the best climbers in the world, haha in pretty sure she doesn't need your advice.
@@nicwilliams9709 great comment nic... simply delightful. check on M0dElite comment. also noticed the heel behind rope warning. As climber and belayer if you see that happening to your partner while belaying you shout and point it out. It produces a shock to your body. Just as seeing a 3 year old crossing a street with cars at speed and no adult around. Like a reflex. Good thing you're not belaying me or my friends... hehe
Sûre for Enzo, he tried with the manouche, also Randall and co tried. You all forgot that this line exist since 2011 it was the route WE open (Antoine barbier and I) as the king Line of tradannot meeting. As you can see on the guide Book it's called "les voillage faurme la jenaisse". Lionel
Yeah! Babsi does a great climb! Yeah, Black Diamond decides to feature a 7a. NOT yeah that they dilute her achievement by posting that the guys did it first and canceling her achievement :( My guess is some men around a conference room table decided that saying Babsi was the first woman to climb wasn't as important.
The Dogs are feeling it! At 2:59
It’s that holiday feeling!
2:58 Bottom left corner absolutely mythic 😂😂
Babsi is one of the most impressive climbers out there! Great job! Fearless climbing with heel behind the rope at 8:43 to 9:07 😅
The dogs have the holiday feeling as well ;)
the dogs banging at 3:01

Congratulations to BlackDiamond to 100.000 follower. And thank’s sharing the most iconic climbs ever seen. Babsi‘s ascent is just one of them✌️
Great video showing Babsi really trying on the line. RESPECT to James Pearson for the FFA. !
look at the dogs 2:58
Great Trad Route ! Happy to do some proof reading on subtitles!
I love the tags introducing people... Jacopo = Extroadinary Climber, Siebe = Some Belgian guy they know haha
"I like the holiday feeling" then climbs in a cave 😂 so strong , so inspiring!!
For me, it doesn't get any better than this.
Beautiful lines, shots and I love the camera work. Great video. Awesome routes. big shout out. Cheers from Austria

Not mentioning the gear placement wich i find is one of the nice aspect of trad climbing videos
Babsi, what a G!!
This route seems like the real deal, badass ascent, Babsi climbs perfect
the dogs at 2:58 hahahahahaha
It's nice to know the music used in these videos, but it would be great to also include the DP, Director, Editor, etc.
Agreed! I want the tune that's on while she's sending. Tried using Shazam, but it doesn't recognize it.

looks like the top of another route!

Wonder how she get's rid of the gloves at 6:22/23? - So did she send it two times or which one is the actual ascend?
Probably shot in multiple takes. I'm guessing they didn't have the camera crew there for the actual send
Hi there! We chatted with the filmmaker about that and turns out she removed the gloves in a small cave rest.
¡Qué ruta tan xida!
wow!

Quality route and no bolts.
😮
🏇🇹🇷🌹
Anyone have an idea as to what E10 7a, or this climb specifically, translates to in YDS? Thought 7a ~= 5.11d but this looks much harder hah
When you translate it it's around 5.13d ou 5.14a, while being really engaged and hard to protect. I went to Annot and it was FR 8b+ in the guidebook
UK technical grade of 7a used to grade the hardest move on the pitch doesn't directly translate to French grades much harder than anything you would find on a French 7a route, very roughly a Brit tsch 7a route could be anywhere from 5.13a to 5.14a.

are you 10000% sure Enzo Oddo didn't send it first? sounds weird...
Sûre for Enzo, he tried with the manouche, also Randall and co tried.

Lolllll it is not “7a” it is E10 7a… do some research on UK grading ;) it’s probably 13d
cause helmets are LAME
A sideways fall on the lower half could be pretty dangerous.
