I've worked with a number of elite athletes and professionals in my time and always have to remember that they struggle just like the rest of us when they don't perform to the level they had hoped. What I appreciate is that the struggles, failures, re-attempts and all were kept in. In the time of social media where we only see everyone's best days, this kind of realism is greatly appreciated... thanks!
that fall at 7:02 though 😮 dude almost had a granite sandwich for lunch. Seriously inches away from a life changing injury. Wear your helmet kids. Also: bad look for Sam to ditch his bud on the wall.
@@devinrogers4885 They did it as a project, that means falling very often and predictable. Its not a big whipper with leg catched behind the rope falling upside down... If you think, without a helmet touching the stone would cut your head in halfes immediatly, but with a helmet you can just smash your face (!) as hard as possible without injuries - youre wrong.
@@devinrogers4885i thought they said that sam got sick while he was up there. would like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, since I’d be shitting myself up there and I’d want my belayer to not have their concentration hindered. I don’t know very much abt big wall tbf.
@@jakob8741obviously you're gonna fall a lot on a project. I'm talking about this fall specifically where he literally almost smashed his face into the wall. Are you really trying to make a case against helmets right now?
Sick!! Love how you overcame a serious mental and physical challenge Jordan. The boulder on that 13d pitch looks heinous. Well done. Sam is a beast, too, just dispatching that thing so quickly. Talented.
He just lost a chunk of his shin bone? That's so gnarly haha how is he smiling?! What a great watch! Definitely held my breath every time someone was on the hideous taco part
Lol, it was definitely pretty gnarly, but surprisingly it didn’t hurt very much in the moment! I went to the medical clinic, they pulled out even more shards of my shin bone, stitched it up, and gave me a bunch of antibiotics. I had to take about 10 days off before I could climb again, but even still it took a long time to heal completely
@@cannonjtcI’ve slept there and would do it untethered, it’s angled the safe way, but! I wouldn’t have danced like a madman that close to the edge haha
I just climbed the cables at half dome and that was enough thrill for this 52 year old, but I love watching this stuff. Totally rad…doesn’t seem possible people can do this. 100% respect to you guys.
So strong! I love the be with The Process mentality. Something I couldn’t figure out until my 40s. I remember early 2000s doing a few big Whal routes up there and looking at that free line thinking it looked absolutely impossible. Nice jobs dudes!
Another great film featuring Jordan. Seeing Sam getting spat out of the offwidth in the beginning is one of the most epic whips I've ever seen. Great job Sam and Jordon. Can't wait for the next big thing.
dude fr. im sending granite .11B/c and projecting .12a/b and am over here like fuck i need to start bouldering if i ever want to be a real stud on some hard .12s or even a .13 one day
Such a magical place. Climbed the Tower a number of times in the late 70's and did Wet Denim Daydreams in 1980. It was A4 for us. My hat is off to the evolution of this generation.
u do realize what kept u behind? ur flawless choice of climbing partner. such a project has to be done together as a team, as brothers. when the juju´s not right, aint no flow. after the switch u basically rushed trough the pitches, beautiful climbing. the strongest muscle in climbing is your brain, only an empty glass is fillable.
Mad props . Wow so mentally and physically strong . Climbing like this to the average Joe is insane . Thx for the video…. Great footage ….. was scared the whole way through . I’m very scared of heights 😅
Done the West Face a few times as an Aid climb. It's a beautiful airy place and for my lazy self aid climbing the crux is hiking my butt up there to start the climb, so it's hard to imagine returning to the valley to sleep and hiking back up and jugging overhanging lines instead of just crashing on classic Ahwahnee ledge. (Where my partner and I took mushrooms on my first overnight wall) Ran into Honnold on the hike on a much later ascent. Great guy as usual but wearing a shirt looked more like a champion gamer than one of the greatest athletes of all history But he is! and kudos to anyone in the shape to climb the 5.13 granite pitches one on top of another. it's unimaginable
I've slept on Dinner Ledge (S. Face of Watkins) without a tie-in, but on anything smaller (e.g., Big Sandy or Ahwahnee or El Cap Tower, etc) I've stayed tied in. At 14:15 Jordan is like 800' off the talus. Don't slip!
As a spaniard them saying yeah this was fun and yeah this is what i wanted without even a smile baffles me. Were they tired? They are just so chilled? Or what..😂

Glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly, I think the thing I am most impressed with is how easy Jordan made that 13a off width chimne thing look.

Same here. As hard as he thrashed on the roof, he smoothed the bomb bay. Also, compare his and Sam's foot work on the roof. Night and day difference.

Right?! That was hardly even mentioned. “Yeah, lost some bone in my leg, no biggie.”
@@Mark-fd3mg Seriously!!

@@cannonjtc Oof that sounds so painful!! I can't believe it only took 10 days to climb again! Sick video!!!
And they just gloss over that!
Sleeping on a ledge like that, not harnessed or anything, was incredibly scary to watch for me 😱😱
It’s bigger than it looks
@@cannonjtcthat's what he said
@@cannonjtcI’ve slept there and would do it untethered, it’s angled the safe way, but! I wouldn’t have danced like a madman that close to the edge haha
15:00
Ya, I’ll have nightmares about that tonight.
I feel like Sam bailed on his friend. And then “got sick” I don’t climb at this level… yet lol. But it doesn’t seem in the spirit of things
Arc'teryx films with Jordan never miss!!!!
I just climbed the cables at half dome and that was enough thrill for this 52 year old, but I love watching this stuff. Totally rad…doesn’t seem possible people can do this. 100% respect to you guys.
One of the best climbing short films. This was a 10/10.
Outstanding climbing, filming, editing, and music. The opening offwidth sequence is superb. Climb on!
What a great film. Excellent music score, cinematography and story. Props to Jordan for sticking with the objective and sending.
So strong! I love the be with The Process mentality. Something I couldn’t figure out until my 40s. I remember early 2000s doing a few big Whal routes up there and looking at that free line thinking it looked absolutely impossible. Nice jobs dudes!
Well done! I couldn't imagine climbing anything harder than 11a in Yosemite. So cool to watch!
My man did the dyno static. Hell yeah. 😂
I tried the dyno a million times and was never able to stick it… had to find some weak tall guy beta 😅
@@cannonjtc You found the way to make it work for you-that's not weak, it's smart.
Best scene: Sam taking a piss at 14:00 😂😂😂😂
That mantel at 2:40 looks brutal with the legs way out under you... Respect dude.
Full one arm press… it’s crazy!
Great efforts on a really amazingly hard climb! Fantastic camera work and production - you all made a classic.
Another great film featuring Jordan. Seeing Sam getting spat out of the offwidth in the beginning is one of the most epic whips I've ever seen. Great job Sam and Jordon. Can't wait for the next big thing.
Yeah the indecision right before the whip was familiar 😮
This is the best motivational video to boulder as a route climber
dude fr. im sending granite .11B/c and projecting .12a/b and am over here like fuck i need to start bouldering if i ever want to be a real stud on some hard .12s or even a .13 one day
Really great filmwork and strong climbing by both:) Inspiring and motivating for me. Thanks a lot. Greets, Dave
amazing footage and message
These guys are crazy
I pulled my own tendon just watching that push at 2:30 ❤
This is really amazing. Great short film, nothing motivates me like watching things like this!
Loved it!! Thanks for inspiring gents. Really gets me psyched to try that one day
really good. all of it.
Such a magical place. Climbed the Tower a number of times in the late 70's and did Wet Denim Daydreams in 1980. It was A4 for us. My hat is off to the evolution of this generation.
Love the process. All about the journey!!
what an effort!! really beautiful filming and multitasking crew!! :)
Thank you for sharing this story!
love this so much. such a wonderful message and such sick shots !!
Crushed it, congrats to everyone involved!!
Nice. They have to be fully coordinated and athletic to accomplish these climbs. TY to the camera person to capture some of these ascents. Very good.
Wow!! Outstanding video :)
Grandissimi,super tecnica, bellissima via!
Great send
wow. what an amazing video. and that crux move is absolutely insane. watching that i feel like i would have pulled every muscle in my body
Great video, so realistic to how challenges can be overcome. Thank you
This is like my two favorite enormocast guests coming together for a great send
Absolutely LOVED this. Great music, great emotion and beautifully put together.
Looks like they climbed in a studio
Concept of longest known time is inspiring to me
Hell yeah Jordan! So sick dude
u do realize what kept u behind? ur flawless choice of climbing partner. such a project has to be done together as a team, as brothers. when the juju´s not right, aint no flow. after the switch u basically rushed trough the pitches, beautiful climbing. the strongest muscle in climbing is your brain, only an empty glass is fillable.
What a great fight with the crux pitch!
Incredible film ❤
Congrats Jordan and team!
RIP Todd Skinner
Keep yo harnesses fresh!
Awesome story-telling.
Brilliant effort
Great Job Jordan and Team 🎉
That route looks so hard. Amazing climbing.
Great heart & try!
great work!
When Jordan is playing with a piece of his shin bone that just got chunked out, ahhhhhh!!
Sick production
Stoked to see you pull the crux and then send...
wow - great film 🤘🏼🙏🏼
felt so good watching him nail the crux
Mad props . Wow so mentally and physically strong . Climbing like this to the average Joe is insane . Thx for the video…. Great footage ….. was scared the whole way through . I’m very scared of heights 😅
Great struggle. Great story.
Escalada dura movimentos delicados, e muita 💪 kmon 🤜

Nice send Jordan (and Sam too of course 😁👍)
Congrats!!
Love the fight. Never give up.
Beautiful video 👏🏾💯❤️
Awesome 💯
Never giving up amazing push
16:46 the PSAAAAT awaken the Sharma power - I'm telling ya
Superb ❤
hell yeah jordan! that is so rad
I've slept on Dinner Ledge (S. Face of Watkins) without a tie-in, but on anything smaller (e.g., Big Sandy or Ahwahnee or El Cap Tower, etc) I've stayed tied in. At 14:15 Jordan is like 800' off the talus. Don't slip!
Iconic chicken wing shot into the final offwidth
straight fire
tremendous.
Congratulaions!
Amazing 😮
Awesome. Very well filmed!
Sam didn’t stay for the full journey?? Come on man!
“Aight bye dude” little shit 😂
Very cool video! 💪🏼
yessss man, you had me sweating for you.... good effort and well done
Fight for me.👍💪 7:07
Awesome 🤩
yay Jordan!!!
as someone who’s slept in a bivy and 50+ feet up in trees, that ledge looks comfy but restless
Nice video!! I hope you guys brush all these tickmarks afterwards
I definitely did! Because the wall is so steep, they would still be there if I didn’t!
Great effort, congrats!
It's too bad that Sam bailed on you, but good climbing partners are hard to find.
Sweet f'ing send Jordan! I was yelling VENGA the whole boulder problem. Thx for the inspiration
amazing
Taking out that piece of bone in mental
anyone know what ascender Jordan is using at 15:40?
It’s a Kong hand ascender
What was the foot ascender at 15:50
It’s not a foot ascender, but it’s a Kong hand ascender
❤
As a spaniard them saying yeah this was fun and yeah this is what i wanted without even a smile baffles me. Were they tired? They are just so chilled? Or what..😂
What ascenders are those at 15:31?
It’s a Black Diamond Index Ascender on top and a Kong Hand Ascender on the bottom, which I also use for hauling on my 7mm static line
Does one know the Band / Song around Minute 7:00?
"Moon - Instrumetal Version" by Con Davison
Yeah! Thank you so much!
I shouted "fighting" to myself16:23
Just casually pulls a piece of bone from his shin lmao
