Perfecto Mundo: Stefano Ghisolfi Climbs 9B+ | The North Face

#NeverStopExploring

[MrMoppeh]

Why does every video have to be choppy and 5 mins? Would have loved to see him climbing the whole route - think the Adam Ondra silence documentary.

[andreatimillero]

I'm here rewatching this after Ondra's tries and still can't believe how you can edit something so poorly. They cut off like half of the moves and the whole section after the pinch, where Shubert fell at every move before actually sending this thing. Unbelievable.

4:18 best technique i have learned from a video

Shame to not see any credit for FA by Megos last year.
Amazing Line though.

great ascent Stefano! @the north face: Thanks for making this video, but please also show the uncut version of the ascen and give Alex Megos some credit for making the first ascent! Even if he is not on the north face team, you could at least mention his name in the text at the end.. credit where credit is due

[joebiggs]

Give us an uncut video of the route, that's all we really want.

[mikawelter]

OUTRAGEOUS...
and Megos did it in 2 weeks wtf!!

that‘s just next next next next level

[elfriederich]

Pretty strange that you didn't mention that Alex Megos has made the first ascent ...

[TheDankraft]

Other people are saying it as well. Less cuts. More continuous shots, please! And less terrible music. The people that are here watching this have attention spans longer than a few minutes. We'd love a 15-30 minute video on these awesome ascents.

Hey North Face.. thanks for putting your money on the line to make climbing videos, but please listen to what actual climbers (read: people who actually buy your products) are saying: stop producing overly slick, quick cut climbing videos. Or, at the very least, show the actual climb at the end without rapid cuts. We are here for climbing, not to watch MTV music videos. Thanks again!

I'm so glad they introduced Chris Sharma as "Climbing Legend"

[sethbleazard]

Awesome! He forgot to mention the first crux at 4:20.

[BrunoMalherbe]

Sad for the fast montage and the little typo at the end :p but great video! sick route, sick effort

[TerjeMathisen]

The style of this climb is very similar to the first 9a climb in the world, i.e. Action Directe in Frankenjura, only significantly longer. Repeating that climb was Alex Megos early breakthrough achievement so it is not surprising that he also did this one.


As many others here have mentioned we are still waiting for other top climbers to invest the effort needed to repeat more of Adam Ondra's Flatanger test pieces! Seb Bouin finally did Move 9b/+ and then looked at Silence, but after 7 years there has still not been any real tries to repeat Change, the first 9b+ in the world. I have a feeling that the crux roof shoulder moves into shallow groves have intimidated most of the climbers who have climbed other 9b+ routes.

The footage looks great, but please release some longer format uncut videos of these climbs. This is the direction climbing media is moving, most climbers are sick of the Hollywood quick cut movie trailer style videos.

[DynamicFortitude]

Bad ethic not to mention (even in a subtitle) who the first ascensionist was, just because he is sponsored by another brand. Shame on you. Include Alex Megos in video description or pinned comment at least now.

[VDB]

For god's sake if you have the footage of the climb just show it UNCUT

[bodawes]

Wow, how amazing that the body can do the impossible. Truly inspiring. Great job filming and climbing.

[ermangovi]

Grande ste! Sei un esempio da seguire con la tua determinazione!

[oGoldSoundzo]

Wow that editing. We just want to watch the climbing for gawdsake 😲
