“Biggest fear would be to get to the end of this and think I did not have fun- “ it’d all have been in vain- best thought process I’ve found in climbing to date...
I guess you can apply it on almost everything

So accurate! They talk about being tired, pumped, scared and even saying, "Oh no! I have to climb that part all over again now!" after taking a fall on a section. I love the realness, I feel like a lot of climbers don't make this stuff apparent, or at least the editors of the films cut most of it out
professional climbers are amazing. Just all of them are amazing.
Holy fuck, my hands got so sweaty I had to chalk up to watch this.
I usually have dry hands watching climbing vids....that right facing dihedral at 13:00 though made them sweat quite a bit.
Ongelooflijk wat een prestatie is dit. De kracht die je moet hebben en doorzettingsvermogen. Respect.
Congrats on your amazing accomplishments! Can't wait to see your new adventures.
For the record, Louder Than Eleven puts out the best videos.
Great work as always Jon.
That was awesome. Well done, what a display of endurance and focus.
Inspiring. .great to see husband and wife team efforts. Great camera work too .
It's good to see they are mostly wearing helmets (not at 9:34). While on a MUCH easier, vertical climb, a friend fell (no helmet). I had him on belay and the fall was smooth. He fell from several feet to the side of the anchor, so he swung sideways. His first foot placement while moving pushed him a couple feet from the wall and spun him 180 degrees. His butt caught part of the wall but he was fine. He had NO IDEA that the back of his head came within an inch of being bashed. I say ALWAYS wear a helmet!
I have a female friend who has a plate in her head from a similar fall without a helmet. She paid a high price for not wearing one.
@@domesticterrorist483 Yep, and another person climbed a different section of the same rock band without wearing a helmet. After finishing and returning to the bottom, a small rock fell, and fractured his skull. He too had a plate installed and permanently lost some of his motor and speech skills. While a helmet would be of little use for larger rocks, it would work wonders for smaller ones. I got hit in the hand by a rock a bit smaller than a ping pong ball. I could not use my hand for days. Based on the damage it did, a head hit could do more than 'just' a skull fracture. Given we were hours away from any medical access and cell service, a head hit from even a small rock could be fatal.
Outstanding video.... great couple... refreshing... love the idea that the only real failure would be not having "fun"... Amen... less ego... more fun... lets see more of these two!!!
what an amazing couple the amount of support and understanding each other is great
13: 01, as climbers we have all experienced and/or seen the Elvis legs. But first time I saw an Elvis body.
hahahahaha ;)
WHOLE lot of shakin' goin' on!
A climber i can relate to ha.
Really, my friend always make fun of me because I shake A LOT ! But hey, I get the shit done !
@@mrjm6752 That's what matters!
some of the best filming ive seen. congrats to all.
My personal victory is just forcing myself to watch you guys doing this. That's how bad my fear of heights is.
remember you can always try climbing in a gym. Bouldering (climbing without a rope above the matress, 2-3 meters in height) is ideal for people with fear of heights.
Great video! I’m glad you both made it.
As a non climber, this seems so rediculously hard. Its mindblowing. Ill stick to simple sports lol. And the videography of this is next level.
As I climber I can tell you, this is an insanely hard climb. Especially for trad.
As a climber I have to say it is hard actually. Unbelievably to be precise.
As a climber and videographer, your assessment is accurate.
As a graduate of 5th grade English class, it is RIDICULOUS to misspell words.
Fantastic video, i cant imagine what these two had to do complete such rutes. Impressive stuff!
this photography is really impressive,big props to photog!
Ya the filming and editing is fantastic!
Love th3 videos of La Sportiva
This is awesome. Such good attitude.
Old friends do amazing things!!! Respect!!!
this was great! so inspiring!
Great Video...Nice to see good solid climbers who struggle up such difficult routes. Brings some reality to it, especially after watching a lot of Honnold and Ondra Videos that make this stuff look easy. Plus they seem like a nice couple.
I don't think either of them would find the Dihedral Wall easy. Jorg is definitely one of the best big wall climbers in the world
@@3stooges0 this.
Wow! Stunning!.......thanks for the wildest vid.
EXCELENT FILM! So existing and realistic photos!!! Also, lot scary. Nice job!
Great couple….teamwork & focus & encouragement & FUN.
Totally awesome! Congrats!
Wonderful short film. Also, great to see both of you wearing helmets!
My god this is such beautiful climbing.
Poter andare a Yosemite resta uno dei miei sogni più grandi...fotografare quelle pareti e percorrere quelle vie è sicuramente un'esperienza unica
Whenever I see this video, it motivates me
Glad to hear that "look good, have fun, be safe" is not just something my friends and I say to one another.
Awesome climbing in an awesome place, and unlike most climbing videos awesome music.
Wow! wow! wow!...thanks for this.
a great pride if we with our wife or husband and children join in the struggle to achieve something challenging in life
Very dangerous climb....and very brave you guys are...keep scaling such routes..good luck
Great video. Thanks.
I can’t handle the airport, I would go postal on this vacation. Bravo guys!
This mountain is the toughest for climbing.. great job!!.
You are amazing!
these epople are all amazing
Awesome stuff.
Respect Kerel! Stalen ballen heb je Succes met alles en de groeten uit Amsterdam!
Such beauty, I’m obsessed
Fantastic
Nice versatility, from bouldering to big walls.
Infinite thumbs up
good job! holded my breath at 13:00 for at least 10 secs. dope!
awesome video
The strength at 5:55! Nicely done
awesome greetings from..Poland
I was going to comment about the black arch pitch, but everyone beat me to it, such awkward moves with such exposure. I'm glad I'll never be good enough to be in that position
Gorgeous!
History lesson: Dihedral Wall was not put up by Tommy Caldwell. However, Caldwell was first free climb it. But, bolts were placed adjacent to very good natural gear placements; albeit, awkward for a free climber, but kills the aid climbing adventure to a great extent, IMO. YMMV.
Holy shit, that Black Arch pitch ... no words 🤭😮👍🏼👍🏼
Awesome! Gongrats!😎👍
It’s amazing what climbers can do with just their finger tips!
Amazing
Every school should have a climbing wall. Basic skills! These two are tough climbers.
Bonjour, de qui est la musique à la fin de la vidéo à partir de 14:04 s'il vous plait ? impossible de trouver
Merci
Muito bom! experiência única!
My brain can't comprehend how human beings are even capable of doing this.
15.45 cucumber haha :) nice film! Great job!
Great vid. On that first hard pitch it looks like you missed clipping that quickdraw and did a freaky lead out or was it cut out of the vid? Either way - epic stuff. Hands all sweaty, looking for a chalk bag watching it.
Props to Jorg and Katha. But Tommy Caldwell's legacy on El Cap establishing the hardest free routes only grows.
Excellent :)
What's the songs used at the beginning and end of the video?!
Is it common to see Solutions being used for multi-pitch?
Iv got respect for these climbers, it looks so difficult.
5:54 really puts it in perspective. Holy crap that looks difficult.
Omg that move at min 13 is crazy cool
I need to do something like this in my life
Very good
anyone know the route that’s in the thumbnail pic?
What is the soundtrack to this video?? It's great!
did you find track id?
Great video. Real tough one, the o'l El Cap. Imagine that Honnold actually did Free Solo the thing.
When they mention previous routes put up by certain climbers, such as Tommy Caldwell, do they mean that bolts/hooks are in place in between the long pitches? Or are many of them in place between these pitches? Please excuse my lack of climbing vocab/knowledge. I'm very curious about how all of this works. This is so damn inspiring..thanks to everyone who shares their time and experience!
This was the second FREE ascent. Unfortunately, the video does not provide much historical context, so perhaps the following the history of the route will clarify situation.
The first ascent was in 1962 by Glen Denny, Jim Baldwin and Ed Cooper. They spent 38 days over several months on the wall and placed lots of bolts; it is rated 5.7 A4. The first continuous ascent was in 1965 by Royal Robbins and Tom Frost, who took 5 days. Cooper claimed his party placed some 80 bolts; Robbins, in his American Alpine Club report on his ascent says he and Frost removed 13 bolts and used 87, so he concludes Cooper must have placed at least 100. Cooper removed the nuts and hanger from many of the bolts which caused Robbins and Frost some problems. Subsequently, many bolts have been removed or replaced. Stainless steel or titanium bolts and hangers still in place can of course be used by any party climbing the route at their discretion.
Royal Robbins report in the American Alpine Club Journal is available on the internet

Jorg is such a badass.
I am sweating buckets watching this
Awesome
Do they keep moving the tent up? Why are they not filming her climb?
8:39 insane
Super!
so that's the difference between a professional and an ameture. the legs shaking, the arms shaking, the raw strength and flexibility of someone who's mastered this sport makes incredibly difficult tasks seem so easy. And it is legitimately easier for them because they can trust their body 100%
The dihedral wall looks brutal. omg.
She's talking about being afraid of heights while scaling a wall that would make me piss my pants in terror.
Style points for ground up ethic as opposed to dropping in and working the pitches!
Why would you not include a song list?
도체 인간의 한계는 어디까지,,,존경스럽다.
Great work guys. Beautiful photography. Did Katha complete her project?
Yes, 4:11 - 7:09
You guys are nuts. By the way, Who is taking the pictures?
Holy crap. That move at 13:00
right? I rewound and watched that several times.
Anyone else notice at 4:23 she passes her rope down through her harness loops, I’ve always been taught groin then waste loops so you don’t get flipped when falling
oh man! see him shaking in the black arch while body steming. hahahaha oh boy!
And trying not to think of what that fall would feel like.
15:43 WTF, I was hit from a falling cucumber that day. 2018 Still in recovery.
Matthew Lee 😂😂
Matthew Lee lol
Lol. Moss hurts from 2k feet.
This video is huge!
Does anyone know how they got the video to show so large on the web browser? It's much bigger than other videos.
1:02 the colors in the waterfall, is that edited? cant be the rainbow formation
How do they recover the clips they use?
When the lead climber reaches the anchor point, the second climber goes up cleaning the route. The second can climb up without aid, but is common to see the second ascending using the rope (if needed to save time or the pitch is too hard).
did he say son of a pitch?
I love hot pitches.
He said : That was one bitch of a pitch
