Black Diamond Presents: Hard Sends with Seb Bouin—Jamming Destruction 9a+/b

In episode 3 of Hard Sends, Seb heads to Saint Auban a recently developed climbing area in southern France. In classic Seb style, he quickly finds potential for first ascents and of course, a few king lines.

The route : "Sorry Seb, you have nothing to kneebar on here !"
Seb : "I don't care, I'll just kneebar my own arm"

Feels like we’re witnessing the progression of sport climbing! The complexity of the rope management, the crack glove, the technical knee bars, the brutality of the boulder problem and finish. The vision of the line. And you know it’s desperate when Seb has the 1st bolt clipped! He is very pure about this and usually never does, but it would be a bad fall on this thing w/out it. Seb - your class is shining bright! Inspiring stuff.

Man I love Seb as much as I love our dear Adam... He is such a pure person for climbing.

[matteobecchi]

[J_crly]

[CrispyCrimpsClimbing]

I am a simple man, I see a thumbnail with Seb Bouin, I click

[johnmaskell]

When he rammed that mono in without hesitation on the flash!

[Leander_]

Absolutely awesome performance! Seb is amazing in these long endurance routes.

after changing my rope, my glove, unclipping i find another kneebar and change one shoe.

[javierlopez]

So sick. The power, plus composure during awkward moves is awesome to watch.

[partykrew]

seb's strength and endurance are incomprehensible to me

[MrGmaloq]

Great movie! I must say I prefer when Seb speaks in French though, his love and passion for climbing is evident then. Part of the video are already subtitled, don't think people would mind reading 5 min more if it means having a more genuine interview.

Nice dude, new crags are special ❤️‍🔥

[LukeRockCimber]

Lattice going to feel like they got a shout out because you used their theme song

[ElieJobert-vu]

Comme quoi les traversées sont toujours à la mode 😂.
Plus sérieusement, bravo très inspirant !!
Et on s'en fou en vrai au final anglais ou français 😉

[Eric-iiuv]

Why only USA grades for a climb in France??
