This is beautiful, and not just cinematically. I'm glad we're at a point with our community where we can show vulnerability and not just successful assents.
WOW!! This is so powerful how Siebe shows his vulnerability in trying hard routes whilst being a pro climber and travelling the world non stop to climb SICK ROUTES!!
As a climber who has done over 25 different routes up El Capitan, I am amazed by the terrain you are able to free climb up there! I always would imagine doing sections of the routes free, but the blank sections always seemed so daunting. What Tommy accomplished in envisioning the line, putting in the work to link all the sections together into a free ascent is an amazing feat. I hope you get back up there again soon and finish it off in good style. Cheers to your future success.
@Brian Dao Uh, not a chance. While I greatly respect Alex and his amazing climbing feats, not only is this climb more difficult than anything Alex has climbed, WITH a rope, but it has so many difficult sections that require full-on leaps and dynos, that I can say with confidence that this climb will never be free soloed.
@@williamleventhal7826It will be another generation or more before anyone free climbs each consecutive pitch with no falls. The best in the world are on the wall for weeks
"With Adam I wish it would have taken him like one more year" I respect the honesty lolol. I just hope no one forgets that pioneering a line like this is infinitely harder than just climbing it!
After all the route hardest pitch is a 9A, not taking away that from anyone, but for Adam a 9A is pretty much like a 6B for a good climber on 7B+ and above levels, takes some effort but it is not like it's impossible to flash or do in a few tries.
@@SCOclimbing eh, sorta. I mean, he’s flashed a few 14d’s but most were burlier, more overhung routes. The delicate face climbing of yosemite granite is a different animal. It’s also very different to do it when you’re sleeping on the wall for days on end, hauling gear, and trying hard at 2000 feet. Ofc he’s much much stronger than Tommy on any given move, but it’s a very different sort of project than simply going out and doing 30 semi-hard pitches.
@@borrf2335 You are correct but an 8A will be an 8A at 30meters or 500meters, plus Adam is super good on slabs aswell, his weakness should be perfecto mundo type stuff (super shouldery moves), not the case in Dawn Wall, Adam and any top tier climber with proper preparation for a 1 thousand meter climb should be able to climb it in between 15 to 25 days on average, I am talking about guys like Stefano, Will Bosi, Seb Bouin, etc etc.
@@SCOclimbing Climbing Dawn Wall is not just skills but it needs a LOT of motivation. That's where Adam is also very good at. Remember, the guy who opened Burden of dreams, the hardest boulder in the world, Nalle Hukataival, has also tried Dawn Wall but he bailed. The thing is just too big, too massive for most elite sport climbers.
Dude, that was mad inspiring to watch. Thank you for pushing out a jewel of a film just like that. I appreciate it, since I'm home with a fuqd up foot (beware of inclined mats when bouldering) and unable to climb and work. Life goal, the dawn wall.
I want so much more of this, a beautiful short film about climbing. Trying, failing, learning, and growing. That is the essence of climbing. The more of this the better our sport.
It's refreshing to see a short about a climber revealing his anxieties and doubts about himself while navigating his pursuit of gnarly adventures. Alex - great job! It's hard cutting a short about a theme rather than a chronological adventure. At first I didn't like the slow motion montage - but then I thought it served the film well - it let the ideas Siebe was talking about breathe for a moment. Awesome work!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us!! You climb hard and should not doubt yourself! It's a legendary wall for a reason and you have the heart to come back and send!! Please document that for us!!! Climb on....
Really inspiring and beautiful film. I think in climbing, failure is such a big part of the experience, that it should be shown more often and with no shame or embarrassment. Not all projects are a success, and that's ok :)
Back when I was living in the park, there was a party stuck at least 18 pitches up in a snow storm for 2 weeks. This route is by far one of the most spectacular on El Cap. Great video guys, thank you!
I did a lot of rock climbing when I was in my late 20's early 30's. Don't do it any more because now I'm 53 and my arthritis won't let me. Most people might not realise that climbing is pretty much 50 % physical and 50% mental. There are times when you have to battle you own mind when it's screaming at you " you can't do that" but you overcome and do it anyway.
Beautiful in so many ways. Good effort and inspirational revelation, Siebe! And good job, film crew, what a cinematic masterpiece! I wish you the best of luck during your time home, and on your return! Send it!
It's always they made it or they amazing did this impossible thing, but this show the reality of the subject. It takes a different and better person to post their failures in this time of social catalyst in the form of constant POSTED success. Amazing video.
Amazing video! Bravo. Especially loved the section with the Schubert piano-Sonata. Beautiful. Would appreciate more classical music in climbing videos!
Excellent job of finding and following a narrative that made it more interesting and that more than makes up for the lack of coverage of the climbing itself
Siebe - It was a pleasure to meet you in Bohuslän for the talk, and to see the trailer. Been waiting for this one! As someone who myself have the same type of feelings that you experience, big ups and downs, I really appreciate your honesty in this film. Cheers from Bohuslän and Sweden / L
Magnifique vidéo du grand art. J'ai grimpé le Nose et je connais l'endroit, le Dawn Wall semble être la voie ultime à ce jour en terme d'engagement mental.
A very intense and well-shot film. I'm watching a lot of climbing videos. A very intense sport. Great job. I love the concrete mountains of the True Ancients who built the continents. #TerraformingofTerra
Siebe looks like there's a knee bar at minute 9:38!😂 The route looks awesome and the video super well shot!👌 It really gets you psyched to climb there...
Am i the only one who saw the crazy flying thing between 7 and 8 seconds into the film? Theres actually 2 of them. The first one is hard to see, but the second one you can pause it just before the rock face, as well as just after the face, and both frames give you a pretty descent look. They're REALLY FAST and they're tiny, white, little craft or tic tac looking little things, or whatever, but they both fly at a constant speed, and man, are they haulin ass. Can anyone else see it? The one that shoots from east to west flies right by the face about 3/4 of the way up.
It is a pleasure to see how hard the downwall is for you and your belgium colleague, downgrading historical routes in the alps in order to receive publicity. You will never reach the grad of the best climbers and the charisma of the legends. :)
Ok, I have a stupid question and I am obviously not a climber at all. ?how do you get down? Please don’t tell me you have to climb back down after making it to the you. Helicopter?
Google "rappel". Sometime they rappel the same line they got up, sometimes from the top they walk along the rim to rappel a different line. Sometimes they walk along the rim to a trail that goes all the way back down.
@@kevinjohnston8399 thank you for the great answer. I don’t think I’ll be climbing or rappelling anytime soon. Just the thought of having to go back down makes the bottom of my feet sweat🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love the film guys❤. As a colorist I would say the look is a bit too flat and doesn’t help telling the story of this incredible piece of rock and these people. (Watch on an IPhone 13 Pro Max and an Eizo calibrated monitor on my desktop) Cheers,
Ultimately its a 20 commercial for The North Face. A shame really because it's a good video but all that north face corporate bullshit is pathetic really.
Alex said many times he doesn't have the skills to climb the hardest routes in the world such as the Dawn Wall. Free soloing easier routes is not the same as climbing the hardest ones. Completly different sports.
When Batso and Dean put that route up in 1970 they named it the Wall of Early Morning Light. "Dawn Wall" is an abomination. I still call it by its original name because I honor Warren and Dean.
Dude chill. The dawn wall (this route) and the wall of the early morning light are completely different climbs… this route shares several pitches with other routes (Mecalito, New Dawn, The Tempest) but it’s it’s own unique line up the wall.

wow love this film :D so fun to get insight how much work it is behind those big wall climbs.
Unreal short film! Anyone know the last synth track during the credits?
Super Inspiring Siebe ! Definetly the key is to build that confidence positive circle, again and again ! See you Out 😃
so perfect for a friday night ...
Wonderful!!!
truly epic film
Makes you realize just how amazing and probably crazy what Honnold did.
Alex has not climbed the Dawn Wall. Not everything has to be about Alex.
I hope someday i Will come USA ... climbing with you ..
The green helmet of Siebe is amazing! :_)
On 15:30 when the music starts 😍🙏
So glad he has protection in place. As in try, try and try again.

It was inspiring to watch. However, whats the point of dramatic and cinematic music when the traverse climb is so on fleek? Totally unncessary.
European men seem much more fluent with their emotions that Americans and some other countries
The dawn wall is a project created by a man trying to get over a devastating heartbreak. So of course it is seemingly impossible puzzle
I'm not a fan of the almost constant use of slow motion; it gave the whole film a really artificial feel.
The real question is where can one get these flashy 80s looking yoga pants they have in some of the pictures...
Google is your friend

They all have colourful leggings and i love it 😂❤
That is a welcome bonus 😍

Do you get up in the morning and work for free? I guess not. So stop posting moronic comments.
I wonder if he's bipolar with the ups and downs?
