Great film! I love the comments about fear-I get scared quite often on routes, so it was awesome to see someone so confident work through their fear. I also appreciated the subtitles, lol
I watched this during my coffee break and missed the first 8 minutes of my online meeting :), being totally hypnotized by this climb!! Great job mate!! Great job! The climb, the video and the message....
I have watched dozens of rock climbing videos. I love this guy, and I love this video! So fucking honest! It sets the standard for these videos. This is by far the best of its kind. I have enjoyed every second of it.
Wow amazing job! The climbing is unreal , can't help but get you psyched. But the editing, filming and backstory on this take it to another level. Unbelievable.
I had to install a cleaning anchor under the final roof. After topping out, the climb can be climbed/aided/dogged to the anchor from where the single piece in the roof can be cleaned. Back to the anchor, the rest of the climb underneath can be cleaned in a sport climbing fashion. On redpoint attempts, the crack can be safely down aided from any point with the unused gear available.
@@newpartnerstore it’s definitely still possible, odds may be less in your favor than starting as a kid but not impossible! There’s a film called 'IAN' about a climber in his 70s climbing hard routes and he started in his 50s. The film is not out yet but it’s made by Matt Raimondo.
I had them on for the film tours because I didn’t want people to mishear Jacques. Forgot people hate subtitles and can choose on or off, left them on when I uploaded to RUclips. Sorry mate
@ I can see the sense for a tour. I turned the film off after a couple of minutes due to the subtitles though. Shame as it’s otherwise right up my street and looked really well made.
Talks about the environment, then does the approach in a pickup truck. If it would have been a Fiat Panda (or other small 4WD car) we could have talked about picking the least worst option. But the pickup truck just screams hypocrite.
@@Mike-oz4cv Firstly, I understand your view but there’s a point at which you’ve gotta be sensible and self-sufficient in remote places too. You’d get bogged and stuck with no help in that Fiat Panda and I’d bet it would deteriorate fast on the corrugated roads too. Sure as hell would be a pain to fix mechanically with minimal parts available in Aus. Fiat Panda: Ranges from 4.1L/100km - 5.2L/100km Holden Rodeo 2.4L Engine: Ranges from 8.1L - 14L/100km I doubt you’d fit 5 of me (6ft 4) with packs in a Panda. Which is possible in Jacques ute. There’s also strong evidence to suggest driving an old car for as long as possible actually does the greatest good overall as opposed to buying a newer car that’s more fuel efficient. Jacques was driving a 2005 model. Which we call a ute so if you call it a pick up I’m sure you’re unfamiliar with the conditions you’d experience daily getting to Newnes. Also, Jacques is vegan and he and his family consume the least out of anyone I know, also growing much of their food on their land, I’d say he practices what he preaches for the most part.
I've not been this engaged in a piece of climbing footage in a while! that route looks sick!!! I wanna do it :D
Robbie, thanks for your kind words, it would be an honour to show you around, come over!

Holy f*** dude😮
Alright y’all, you heard him. Don’t snap off the snappy hold
Huge fun watching this. Thanks heaps for posting. Have to say though, would have been even more enjoyable without the subtitles.
Thanks very much Doug! Sorry about that
How do you clean it?
I had to install a cleaning anchor under the final roof. After topping out, the climb can be climbed/aided/dogged to the anchor from where the single piece in the roof can be cleaned. Back to the anchor, the rest of the climb underneath can be cleaned in a sport climbing fashion. On redpoint attempts, the crack can be safely down aided from any point with the unused gear available.
What if I start this hobby from 30 years old? Is it posible?
@@newpartnerstore it’s definitely still possible, odds may be less in your favor than starting as a kid but not impossible! There’s a film called 'IAN' about a climber in his 70s climbing hard routes and he started in his 50s. The film is not out yet but it’s made by Matt Raimondo.
I started at 25, I climbed Mother Earth at 47, definitely possible mate
00:48 says "terrified screams"...
Terrified or annoyed?
@@deepatel123 bitta both there
Why are there automatically subtitles? It’s really distracting from the otherwise fantastic footage.
I had them on for the film tours because I didn’t want people to mishear Jacques. Forgot people hate subtitles and can choose on or off, left them on when I uploaded to RUclips. Sorry mate
@ I can see the sense for a tour. I turned the film off after a couple of minutes due to the subtitles though. Shame as it’s otherwise right up my street and looked really well made.
I enjoyed the subtitles, added a bit of humour with the descriptive text 😆

Finally. A climbing video done right. We hit the Magic Zone about mid pitch. Nice job!!!
Thanks very much, I appreciate the comment!
Charismatic climbing! Thanks for the film and emotions 😎🦾🧗♂️/ Харезматичне сходження! Дякую за фільм та емоції (Ukrainian)
