- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2024
- “Deep Water” is a captivating exploration of fear, mentorship, and deep water soloing in panoramic Ha Long Bay, Vietnam with psicobloc pioneer Tim Emmett and competition climber Kyra Condie. Watch as Kyra learns from the master, tackles the fear of climbing high above the water, and then succeeds on one of the hardest deep water solos in Vietnam, The “Lightning Crack” graded 5.13.
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam is a scenic climbing venue with over 3000 limestone formations dotting the ocean bay. Tim Emmett helped put “psicobloc” climbing on the map in Vietnam in the early 2000’s and has returned again to pass the torch to Kyra Condie, an aspiring and versatile climber with deep roots in competition and bouldering.
Louder Than Eleven’s Director Jon Glassberg teams up with Mountain Hardwear in this aesthetic short film highlighting one of the most dramatic forms of climbing.

Just wanted to give a quick warning to anyone that wants to plan a trip to do this. About a year and a half ago, my wife and I took a cruise around Ha Long Bay. Although it was a bit chilly out, I decided to take a quick swim around because I wasn't sure if I'd ever get another chance there. Later that night I developed an extreme rash all over my body and we ended up having to call an emergency speed boat to come pick us up and take us to a local hospital (it took about a week to recover). The problem is that at any given time there can be roughly 700 cruises operating in Ha Long Bay and a recent study showed that over 70% of boats in Ha Long Bay just dump their black tanks (sewage) into the bay. Unfortunately Vietnam isn't the best when it comes to pollution management. I'm sure if you're in a more secluded area, it's probably fine to swim. But as you can tell from the video, the water currents aren't very strong at all, so you may be plunging into some unpleasantness if you're at the popular cruise spots.
I went last year to do some Deep Water Solo and I also can confirm the water is PUTRID! They do not look after the water ways in Ha Long Bay at ALL ! Lots of dead fish floating around
thats a shame it looks like such a beautiful place
If you go via Cat Ba island you will find cleaner waters: they are based on the other side of the bay and generally go to quieter spots.
Yes! I was there earlier this year and there were people on my boat who went for a dip and also got extreme rashes. I was lucky enough to not get a rash but I would definitely be careful
I swam in Ha Long Bay before and came out completely fine.
Beautiful film!
My man, I didn't know you climb! Very neat vids by the way.
Wtf are you doing here
How are the cats?
Wut
Wow good to see you here :)
I lived there for a while guiding the deepwater days with some of the locals. Streak of lightening Defenitely has more than 2 ascents. I witnessed a couple in my days there. Can only imagine who else made it up. One of the local boat guys named Long climbs it barefoot.
Amazing area with so many more routes than are posted online or in books. Sadly the ha long bay park police are starting to crack down on which walls you can or cant climb on. I had to come home because of covid, cant wait to head back there. Lots of new routes I need to bolt on catba island
When you plan to head back?
@@pentyjr I took a bad lead fall this summer and broke both my feet so it isnt likely that I'll be back this fall, I'm just starting rehab. I'd like to plan to hide from the snow next winter.
This needs more upvotes and I hope corrected. Just give credit where credit is due and sadly lots of locals are passed on because they don’t have sponsorships.
Had the pleasure of meeting long a couple years back on a tour through Asia Outdoors. He sent my project barefoot and campused the finishing moves just for fun. Such an incredible climber and friendly person.
@mike Larin can you tell me the name of the sport route?
I was with a friend (we are both 15) and were swimming in a river. I found this place I thought I could climb easily to dive From (bear in mind I had never climbed before) it was super hard but It was soooo fun just climbing and then falling in the river. it inspired me to start climbing and next year I hope to start deep water soloing
hopped on Streak of Lightning two weeks ago, and hot damn it does not disappoint! deceptively steep, totally flat plane where everything else on the karst is craggy, and when the ocean gets moving it REALLY gets moving. There were massive sprays coming out from under me where the waves were connecting under the base. Adds a lot of pucker factor on an already hard solo. Incredible route. King for sure.
Exceptional video. I was lucky to spend a few moments climbing next to Tim in Squamish a couple of years ago. He really is that nice, positive and just all around awesome. A true advocate and leader in climbing.
This may be the coolest thing to do outdoors I’ve ever seen. Definitely going to start getting into this.
Chair start streak of lightning, awesome. Kyra Connie is legit. Gold medal for sure
that route is no joke!
@@SmokesKwazukii for real. I banged my head against it two weeks ago. There's a sneaky mini crux about halfway up (where Timmy fell off in the video) that sucks power from you if you stay there too long. The second half is where it really gets on you though. That crack gets slopey.
Incredible DWS line. One of the best out there.
Just want to give a shout out to Vu Nguyen who I lived and worked in Ha Long Bay with - he’s climbed Streak of Lightening too! Works and climbs down in Ho Chi Minh City now 🙂
What year were you there
@@pentyjr Chris was the GM of AO before Rich. ;-)
Yeah, I've seen Vu climb it too. So strong!
Is there good climbing down in Ho Chi Minh City? Been considering going for other reasons but would love to climb too
15:22 that left foot jam was quick! It looked totally instinctive and came in clutch. Great climbing Kyra!
Just wow! Absolutely incredible film and Kyra is just an incredible climber!
So much regret watching this during lockdown, the travel cravings are real!!!
other people are talking about how cruises dump feces. the pandemic may have made this place better
I wish my cousin would finally take me on one of his crazy climbing trips.
Great film.
And I am sitting here and wondering how long it would take to dry the climbing shoes and the chalk bag.
love climbing when the holds are not painted on by chalk. figuring out the rock without painting by numbers. great film, beautiful country.
As someone who's just started climbing and bouldering - This may be a stupid question, but what happens to your chalk bag when you fall in? Do you have to refill every time you go for a dunk?
Just fill it with a handfull
I was thinking the same thing!! Idk
And boots ohhhh
the oar boat guy rowing them should do climbing. his arms look insane
I've been to Ha Long Bay, and did my own documentary when I was 19. This brought a rush of emotions back with this story- Beautiful place, people and film!
Beatifull place, beatifull energy from Kyra & Tim
Wow climbing is the best escape, and this film pulls you in from the beginning to the end
I'm going to dream about climbing there tonight.
I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this!
Beautiful! Getting the No Reservations vibes.
This was really enjoyable to watch high
Dig the traditional local music, really makes you feel more like you're there with them!
That looks like so much fun 😍 You guys did a great job filming this 👌
How many chalk bags per session? 😬
liquid chalk might be better here..? :-D
@@florianeck6512 you need 2 hands to put it on...
I either dropped a bit in my pockets or I'd dab a bunch on my forearms, usually enough to get through some shorter routes.
What a rad film. Thanks for making this!
The amount of respect she got from him is awesome
Mallorca is the meca for psicobloc and still the best spot, water is clean you dont need boat to get there and most if not all roots have a way out without having to jump back in the water
Excellent work all involved! Really enjoyed the film, and great to see such positive energy from everyone
The same in Egypt - lots of boats at a reef, everyone snorkelling and the boats emptying their toilets, lots of turd fish around. current was very strong so the turd fish did not hang around too long.
I do wonder when you hear about food poisoning, if its more likely being picked up through the pool or sea water when swimming.
Great job on this film, I'm also curious how the shoes and chalk bags are handled after each plunge.
Shoes get soggy. The rock there is either super super polished or like a bed of nails in other words rubber slips or grips wheather its wet or notI usually have 2 pairs though one drying in the sun on the boat and one on the feet. The rubber is all you need to dry off. Chalk I dont bring a bag, I put a tiny bit in my pocket or loosely on my for forearms. Just enough to get by and I use a lot of chalk.
Incredible film, really enjoyed it!
really great video! Enjoyed watching it! Looking forward to see some more.
Such a positive duo! Such a blast and inspiration to watch
Absolutely amazing and inspiring! Keep going hard guys, so cool. Hearing the first time about deep water solo climbing. Cheers!
this was so inspiring! added to bucket list :)
Echo. Beautiful production.
I definetly need a mentor like him
So sick. Great film!
Love it! Good job with the archives integration and the overall storytelling 🙌
Watching with a huge smile
This is a very beautiful climbing video ❤️
This looks amazing! I DWS pretty much all summer long! It's one of the best forms of climbing.
Definitely one of the purest forms of climbing! No gear other than shoes (I gave up on chalk for DWS years ago), and every attempt is bottom up. Just pure enjoyment :-)
Nice video, I usually don't have a long attention span. this documentary was very interesting and compelling! thanks for producing this.
18 minutes of smiling for me. Thank you director.
Music at the end of her climb was great. Any idea how can I find it?
Adding this to my bucket list
Well done Kyra!
What a great video.
PS:
Does anyone immediately think Bilbo Baggins with the ring on when it makes him younger when they see Tim?
Great video. Would be better with fewer cuts/ edits during the climbs, particularly at the crux.
What a trip. Amazing climbers, amazing climbing partners. And how beautiful she is.
This dude looks on face like "Quin69" youtuber :D
Climbed there and deep water soloed a while back. We were lucky to get a speedboat to take us from spot to spot, much faster. Not sure if they're still doing that. Maybe it was the time of year, but the water was COLD (compared to what you're expecting... Krabi DWS was much warmer). Also, if you're there, you really gotta go to Butterfly Valley for sport climbing, frickin' awesome.
So sick, nice job Kyra!! 💪💪
Tim ‘the don of all things radical’ Emmett. How many times does he say ‘mate’ in this film? 11 or 12 perhaps 😉👌🏼
nevermind ---- parent comment edited
Y'all make some amazing climbing videos. Love it.
Awesome! Thanks!
such a sick video, produced so well! Makes me wanna go out and climb right now
JON, that was amazing! You encapsulated Kyra and Tim's stoke so well! Such an epic sequence when the light was raking down that beautifully textured limestone @13:45, astonishing composition, too! Did François happen to snap a gnarly still during that attempt?
Thank you!
Who is the musician at the beginning? He's really got something
Such a great Video!
Way to go, Kyra!
Hey guys, I would like to know who the person singing in the beginning is, and where can I find more. Also, a credit to the musician would be nice, just saying
LOVED this!!!
incredible
keen job JG! Love from 303
What do you care what other people think? Thank you for sharing!
🐱👤 Climbing and jumping in one package... great stuff!
And Vietnam is so beautiful!
.
how does the chalk work tho, doesn't it get all wet each time they fall??
what a place to climb!!!
Amazing!
most amazing film!!
Great film!!
Some people have beautiful life🧡
Amazing
Awesome Movie and Athletes!
Good job guys
great inspiring film
This is so well made, I enjoyed every minute. Can't say I'll be trying any deep water solo soon though, looks like it takes some serious bottle!
Do your climbing shoes get as uncomfortable as I'm imagining once they're soaked? What's climbing like after the first drenching?
I haven't done deep water soloing but last month i did my first boulder over washington in leavenworth (and I fell) th-cam.com/video/VefRdB3Kjlo/w-d-xo.html
It's actually not that bad, they aren't too uncomfortable.. definitely not ideal, and mine stayed wet for quite a while but climbing wasn't much different.
@@Perrseus That's not so bad then. I figured you'd end up with a lot of rubbing but we wear them pretty snug to start anyway!
Also, stunning location for that boulder problem you posted!
@@elykdevisa9160 Prettiest boulder I've ever done!
Your shoes are feeling just the same after they're soaked. And after the first fall you just wait 5 minutes for the rubber of the shoes to dry out and you're ready to go. Most of the times you go without a chalk bag and put some more liquid chalk on your forearms, however if you want to send something hard you have to be prepared with a lot of chalk bags, although i have used a half of a plastic bottle instead of a chalk bag and it still works.
@@dmm4133 I had heard of the plastic bottle trick! Liquid chalk would probably be the way to go. Definitely want to give DWS a shot. Thanks for answering :)
Awesome!
awesome!!!
Awesome stuff!! :-D
how do you do with the chalk bag when you fall into water ? th ewater don't go in it or you have to change it every time ?
I love the Đ accent in like, everything, very Vietnamese
Nice looking country
I have a question to do, what do you after falling into the water with the chalk? Does is not get wet?
I often dream about climbing with no fear of falling.
Mountain hardware 🔥
So cool!!!
So kong was from Vietnam !
cool u coud do it!
Beautiful...but not scary, just looks like fun.
this is epic
Ok question from a noob: Do you just climb back on with wet shoes, clothes everything? And why sometimes they bring the chalk bag up? Do they have multiple chalk bags? Or after the first fall, the whole bag's ruined?
where were they climbing during day 2?
It's a big fall when you have enough time to scream twice
Is the soundtrack avilable somehow/somewhere?
