Black Diamond Presents: Focus-A Bishop Highball Project with Timmy Kang

- When Timmy Kang first saw a highball boulder in Bishop, California, he immediately wanted to boot up and try the line-a rare reaction to say the least. His coach kept him from the dangerous heights that day, but it wasn’t long before he began testing himself on the area’s giant blocks. Over the years, Timmy managed to climb five of Bishop’s most iconic highballs: Footprints (V9), Ambrosia (V11), Too Big to Flail (V10), This Side of Paradise (V10), and Evilution Direct (V11). But there was one objective that kept haunting him … could he climb them all in a single day? On December 5, Timmy realized a dream and closed the chapter on his Bishop obsession with one epic day of sending.

So grateful to be able to share with the community! This project was so special to me. Huge shoutout to Brennan Robinson for directing this project and being with me for the last 10 years in Bishop, and to Bobby McGee Vannoy for editing this beast of a film. Also a huge shoutout to Black Diamond for supporting all of us and keeping me safe. Couldn't have done this without them.
❤
SO good Tim, a huge heartfelt thanks. Especially hearing about your Confidence reCovery, capital C! That being my major field of study this year lol and the filming captured the essence of Bishop- fantastic all around
Let's go Tim!!!!
Crazy bastard. Great work.
the Bishop royal flush?!?
Wow some of those boulders have been featured in reel rock or big time productions ALONE. To see them all done in one day is wild.... Nice work!!!
Bouldering just having an insane moment in climbing history right now
11:03 wooo, this sequence! can't imagine...
💯💯💯
Incredible. Just the thought of stringing these together in a day is mental, absolutely insane execution too and great filming
Chalkbag: "I really think I played such a significant role in Timmy's accomplishment that day... and yet... when all was said and done... he just yeeted me..."
The editing of the film is incredible, not to mention the level of climbing performance - grateful that you left the breathing sounds very clearly over the sends, it's so wonderful to hear that physical pacing - a celebration of Timmy's skill and precision!
So amazing footage!!
Super respect for you Timmy ❤
Good job to Brennan for directing I loved behind the scenes 😂
Thanks to BD for making this happen 🙌
It has to be said, that last shot climbing the slab is so beautiful. I loved climbing in Bishop❤.
Truly an amazing place 🙏
Incredible achievement. Interesting choice to primarily film the moves from so far out, Bishop is an unbelievably beautiful area, especially with the shots of the mountains. I think I would have loved more of the traditional close-ups though, just to see each move. In awe regardless.
Just epic. Anyone who has had the opportunity to meet or be friends with Tim knows he is one of the kindest, most loving, down to earth human beings. This film does that justice - amazing work Tim and crew!
LET'S GOOOOO
I've been looking forward to this movie since the Testpiece episode about the day dropped in December, so psyched it's here and as inspiring and badass as I would have hoped. Major props to Tim for executing this, and to the rest of the crew for producing such a sick movie.
Bobby the man. So wonderfull filmed and edited. Wow. Great Film. And Timothy... extraodinary. Masterpiece
I've been climbing for over 30 years, have climbed a lot in Bishop, and that was one of the most impressive things I've ever seen. Congrats!
From all areas I went to bouldering, bishop has the one place in my heart. I’m missing it every time I go out bouldering. Nothing can mess up with this area. The exposure, the style, the location, close to perfect.
He’s got the vision!! Absolute legend 🙏
LEGEND! Unfathomable. Wow.
Strong Oompa Loompa vibes from the cameraman. Nice work!
Incredible storytelling and unreal sending! Mad props. Super beautiful film

Inspiring achievement. Testing mind and body. Loved the film and editing as well 👊🏻
Nice job dude, super sick and inspirational!
HUGE W For Tim and the team! Great work on the incredible sends....I can't imagine the training and mental game to be climbing 7m-10m boulders on such a high grade. Legendary work. The community has placed this in the books!
Grandpa Peabody is 17m according to mountain project! Insane!
Beautiful man
Holy shit. This was absolutely stunning on so many levels. Flim flow and the mega rock flow, power and exactness…. on stunnning bishop highball classics. Damnmmmnm
Stoked for you and this mega goal ticked off.
Bravo
Legendary
These are literally the size of sport climbs, insane
Incredible
absolute mastery
Great choice of music too!
Also impressive filming. So many great angles
that is some ballsy moves. freaking incredible
I think it is an awesome thing to do, to climb all those beautiful boulders but the whole in 24 hours thing in climbing, what's it for ? in the face of rock that has been there for eons ?
Damn the stuff from 2:30 onwards slaps! Loved that part
One of the sickest videos and projects ever!
I love Bishop highballs but can't climb V10 so I'm living vicariously through you.
Fkn amazing Tim
This video is ART.
Fantastic rock
It's like that guy in high-school that says he's gonna fail every test yet gets straight A's in all his AP classes.
Keeping the flame alive strong with this one…
Respect 🤘🏼
Absolutely remarkable. I'm still trying to process your feat
this is unreal
Amazing
Wasn't planning on watching the whole thing but got sucked in. Gripping film. Nice music that doesn't distract from the action.
Congrats on the vision, sends and capture of the whole experience. The hugs and congrats from crew were rad, too-great team support. Inspiring and should be on next Reelrock 18.
Literally my inspiration, #timkangfanclub
That evilution footy is all time
Wow!
king of bishop 😊
Congratulations dude, absolutely fucking mental.
Impressive
Evilution is such a psychological boulder good GOD
respect
That much highballing IN A DAY!?! 🤯
I would love to know what film burn transitions they used for this? Anybody know? So awesome, great flick and sends from Tim 👌🏼
That was amazing but how do you get down from these highballs.. Some of them look scary to walk down even from the reverse of the climbs😱
Oh man that was an insane video! I only cried twice XD
Looks like a mini half dome 😂
I'm not sure I can say I condone highballing, but the film and climbing were great.
Right on man! Im curious as to your thinking of the order of boulders? Why start with Footprints and not Too Big or the others? Just curious Thanks!
Let’s gooooooo
wow
12/10
So sick! What are you calling the link up?
Mega
I like how they have pads as if it’s gonna be fine if they fall 😂
so sick
*Honnold hat tip*
🎉very high quality movie ❤. What’s the soundtrack ???????
Super super impressive, but surely this is soloing..?
It basically is. Scary but I really want to do some of these highballs
damn
