- In this new 3-part series from acclaimed film-maker Andrea Cossu, we follow Jacopo as he travels from Europe, to America and the UK to gain a deeper understanding of trad-climbing as an art-form, it’s diverse community, culture, ethics and history - exploring what ‘hard-trad’ actually means and whether, when push comes to shove, the grades actually matter.
Chapter 1 | USA
Jacopo’s first stop is Yosemite, California. Jacopo has visited the valley on multiple occasions in the last decade, but usually with his focus on a big-wall objective. This time, he returns with his sights firmly focussed on experiencing the trad culture and history by sampling some of the area’s most iconic classic routes and attempting one of its hardest. - Sport
Got to sit and chat with Jacopo for a solid half hour at Acephale in Canmore a couple years ago. Not only is he one of the all time greatest trad climbers, he's also easily one of the kindest, most genuine people in the sport. Fantastic film!
Canmore is my favorite place❤ Nice climbing at Grassi Lakes!
Love the shots of the gear placements!
seems under-appreciated in general, but for Meltdown in particular it is so clutch!
GG Jacopo, amazing effort. Thanks, helps a lot!
TRAD REVIVAL ⚔️
Nothing but respect.
They seem like the most humble people you have ever met.
I love this stuff. It actually makes me feel better just watching.
I only climbed once with an instructor friend and his wife at Joshua Tree.
But I fell in love with the feeling, the vibe, the energy.
It always feels good to confront our fears. In a smart way.
They let me pull protection on the way down.
That was very cool, the clickety-clack of the growing protection around your waist.
There is saying, you know. 'You meet the nicest people in the mountains.'
I have found this to be true in my own life, while hiking in Yosemite.
Why do you think that might be?
Crazy climb! Also crazy listening to teeth on the metal biners
Great film. Getting me stoked for Valley season real soon!
Love this! Great shots and great to see the fight at the end! We've all been there with the foot slip on a redpoint 😅
Awesome senda Jacopo!!! Congrats
Man, this was a beautiful experience. Thanks for such gorgeous cinematography and storytelling! Feeling very blessed to have the valley so close to home
Very good immersive video 👍, I felt pumpy at the end 😂
Hands sweating. Amazing repeat! Had no idea since 2008. Brava Beth!
Phenomenal cinematography, phenomenal climbing!! Beth sent stuff that was on another planet! Awesome to see hard trad so well done.
Very beautiful, would love to go some day :)
Great filmography! 👍🏼
This is such an amazing video. I love it so much. Incredible job on that 14c
Great places and great climbing
love it!
Great film! Really enjoyed how much the process was highlighted and that proper props were given to Beth. p.s. those weren't portra photographs...come on guys😛
Mamma mia Jacopo che sudata di mani mi son fatto per il nuts ! Bravo e sempre forte !
Love for you ❤
very nice!
👍👌🌳🌲🏔💚🏃♂️🎬 love the north face trail
Bellissimo
Epic
oh hell yeah
your a ledgend Jacopo
8:03 "kann nimmer stehn auf dem scheißdreck" haha gute übersetzung aber
He seems a very calm person, an his tactics are very good... duck tape on the pants🤯
Beth is all “I don’t climb that hard” ok sure 😂
The duct tape was such a good homage.
Did he really figure 8 a rope directly to a hanger at 11:24???!!
But why?
fixed rap line? not ideal but the odds of disaster are pretty low...and pretty commonplace
18:39 stopper knot?
Does anyone know what trousers he is wearing on his ascent?
I think wearing two different climbing shoes would drive me nuts
if someone can tell me what song is at 1:42 (intro) i will love you forever
😍😍😍
"Everything that is something is done in Yosemite"
Yeeea ok, I'm gonna have to disagree on that one haha
Do you guys say Yosemite or Yosemite?
Beth Rodden has to be one of the best climbers ever
All I know is that I watched a video with Babsi's boyfriend in it. Couldn't tell you his name though😂
I was waiting for this comment ;-)
Probable 5.14d?
11'30" he was tying the rope into a sharp hanger?
How's that DEI coming along 😂
came here for this comment
The double gaston move is called a speculum if you didn't know.
Wanted to watch but the background music was too grating!
dab? 16:16
Came looking for this comment. Wasn't disappointed.
Watching on 0.25x doesn't look like he actually step on the gear but rather just besides it
@@_jpfq_ Agreed. He smeared the draw, but I don't see that as any different than the wall. All his weight was still on his other foot.
Stefanos litle bro is good on trad 😂
yall climbers are crazy lol but like the good kind I think
Babsi also sent. But I guess if you're not a North Face athlete...
Sounds like this was filmed before she sent (Oct 2023). Since this video came out in March 2024, would be nice to at least have added a footnote or something
please hire a sound guy to mix it sounds really bad. A sound guy is really not the most expensive part of video production.
7:04 that belay technique 😬
The lying back is one thing, but a jumar? 🤔
I maybe to be able to help him pull back up better.
EDIT:
Oh, just got to the actual timestamp.. yikes
And to put such cinematic emphasis on it 😅
it's toprope, chill out
5.7 climbers calling out the pros!
I don't care if it's TR or not, never let go of the brake hand.
I don't like anything about trad...but this was freaking awesome!
What do you make your products out of? What do you use to ship your products all over the world? Hypocrisy
Boycott NorthFace.
What'd they do?
@@ayuminorembarked in the white privilege bandwagon
Woke company
I highly recommend being awake instead of being asleep when you climb hard routes! Good to know north face is on the same page!
Bro what does that even mean?
I just wish there was a clothing manufacturer that could fuse adventure with DEI initiatives. If only………
I’m going to carefully sand the footholds off the crux of Magic Line this spring with a Makita battery powered 4” masonry grinder. It’ll take me less than five minutes to accomplish. This will create an even greater test piece challenge for climbers of the future. You’re welcome!
