- Emily Harrington couldn't ignore the magnetic pull of El Capitan’s ‘Golden Gate’ (5.13). Here Emily shows us that it’s just as much about the journey as it is about the destination.

Never seem to get tired of watching the battles from within and against El Cap while on the wall. Emily was awesome on that route with some serious battle wounds to show. Great video!!
Just what can you say? A brilliant effort and shows what the mind can do when the body just becomes the passenger!
What a beautiful effort & a beautiful short film. Would LOVE to see more like this. Amazing job Emily!
never climbed a big wall she said ... wait whut?
that's gutsy to me and I'm an experienced armchair solo free climber.
Heck yeah!
This vid really captured the deeply personal element of struggle and perseverance. Excellent send!
6:30 What a great piece of cinematography! The quivering limbs say it all!
Emily is such an inspiration! I've been following her career and it's just amazing all that she has accomplished.
So happy to see new films from yu guys🤙 such a great film❤️
New 😂
@@garywheaton7112 actually ive seen this film before man, just not in this site called youtube thats why i said new. I was just so happy to see this film again on this site,and glad lt11 uploaded it here 🤙
What a send, what a climber..that's one for the books!🎉
When you're at the limit and then have to do precise movements shows what can be achieved. Bravo.
Duuude, the stress and anger at the wall clicks with me. Found myself yelling "come on!" In my head.
never climbed a big wall she said ... wait whut?
that's gutsy to me and I'm an experienced armchair solo free climber.
You are Dynamite Emily Harrington. Descending down looks like a whole other kind of battle compared to going up.
Well Emily that was fantastic to be in it with you, by the camera, you indeed nailed it, BIG CONGRATS. MAGIC...........
Been waiting for this one!
happy for you, meeting the challenge was the biggest accomplishment, succeeding was secondary. best in the future. k
Wow the music selection in this was superb!
Are you just dropping banger videos on your channel for fun or what? Amazing stuff!
Such a L E G E N D !! BEAST of a feat! Ferocious outing… cheers, congrats!! 🎉
Amazing and to keep going when your doubting your self but continue truly amazing Emily it’s a dream to even see the wall in person amazing climb
Félicitations. 🤩 super ce que tu as fait 🙃🤩🤩🤩🤩
One brave lady!
Love the Hill Billy Bath Adrian is doing at 15:55 🤣. The struggles of dirtbagging.
we’ve all been there hahha
When you see her at 11:30 getting out of the move !! Good freakin stuff !!!!
6:50, you can feel the trepidation in that shot. Amazing work pushing through.
Fair play Emily, big congratulations 🎊
Amazing.
So inspiring!!
Massive achievement. Congratulations
I want to see the full documentary !
yeah no i'm not going to be climber, ever, i saw the first 30 seconds and immediately got sweaty palms 💀 The mental and physical strength this must take is insane
Congratulations Emily! Amazing
When comes the video about the one day ascent out? I'm stoked for it since I listened to the Nugget podcast's episode with Jon.
Awesome!! You rock 💪🔥
Great effort.
She’s amazing
amazing
congratulations!
Downclimbing is very counterintuitive. Most of the time the way down is to repel or hike down a different route from the top. When I think of a traverse on El Cap, I picture a 20-yard pendulum swing! Oh yeah, also somebody else doing it, usually on TV,
wow, amazing skill
Bravo !!!
With the equipment today there is very little danger, its more a mental game to be that far up in the sky.
Adrian looks like Alex Honnold ...
....
:')
Brilliant
We can't until we can!
Legend, I fucking loved watching that, your ace
These kinds of videos are nearly always fun...but it's rare, as a climber, to see the details that really matter. The ratio of climbing to "story" is generally pretty low and even context with the kind of detail that (again) matter to climbers is pretty weak (eg why this matters personally to Emily versus the achievement in the context of climbing history). For example, a near-perennial failure is showing a couple moves but cutting placing that nut or actually clipping that key piece. I'd love it if producers would consider providing two versions: one for those who just want a short, semi-dramatic feel-good story and a second with those gritty details. I know. It's a jerky, unrealistic perspective and I should be grateful there's any footage, especially beautifully filmed video at great effort and cost, for free! But many of those gritty details were, surely, filmed in the process and I bet I'm not alone in stating that I'd love to see more of the raw material. Can you imagine, for example, seeing every minute of the footage taken of Honnold's solo of Free Rider? Ah well. I'll get back to dreaming... And thanks for the lovely video. Really!
Woohoo
Emily is such a badass
Overcoming the mental challenge seems harder than the physical climb itself.
Which TNF pants are these she’s wearing?
Hyper super climber ever!!
Fucking awesome and inspirational
where is the ''free climbing'' in this video?
Free climbing (as opposed to free soloing) mean that she is not using the rope as a climbing aid but only for safety. Her partner however could haul himself as second if any pitch is too hard for him.
Starts at 0:16 and ends around 14:40.
Exactly. She’s a fraud.
That downclimb was fuckin bonkers.
epic
Free climbing means you can use the ropes etc.?? I associate the term with what Alex Honnold did, the free solo ascent. Don't the terms and the exact meanings, sorry.
Free solo is what Alex honnold did. Free climbing means you have to ascend each pitch without putting weight on any ropes or gear. If you have more questions you can look up the details of free climbing vs free soloing, there are a lot of details in the ethics of big wall climbing
She’s not free climbing at all. This is like the climbing equivalent of stolen valor 😂
Hallelujah and turn to Jesus xxx bless u
Climbing Outdoors ? 😉
It seems strange when she's leading and her harness has no gear on it, not even draws. I saw it more than once but def on The Move pitch.
No way in hell .You couldn't pay me enough.
,🏇🏾🇹🇷🌹
I thought free climbing meant having no ropes or harness?
You think of free solo, free climbing use ropes.
Free climbing is what most people think of as climbing, protection only helps you if you fall. Another thing is Aid climbing where you place gear and use them (pull on them) to ascend a mountain or wall. When the term free climbing was invented the focus was on ascending mountains and aid climbing was known as climbing.
"El Capitan" is the definition of hard free climbing." What a weird sentence. Can a definition consist of only 2 words? 🤔
Excuse me me...did I miss the "free" part?
looks like it... she is free climbing
@@koszonet in what moment of the video is she ropeless?
@@Z-Engineer Free climbing (as opposed to free soloing) mean that she is not using the rope as a climbing aid but only for safety. Her partner however could haul himself as second if any pitch is too hard for him.
Leo Houlding doin El Capitan was a different realm altogether, but good work gal, nonetheless, 👍
What? Nobody’s talking about Leo and this woman is a beast but nonetheless you made your sexist comment flying the sofa 😂 shouldn’t you be asleep little boy?
This is one hobbie i just cant wrap my brain around...
Nope
I can't tell you how many times I have had to respond to someone screaming on the wall. It sounds like an emergency, people on the ground think someone needs help, people on the wall think someone is injured .
It is extremely unprofessional to scream in a distressing way over and over and over. It sounds like a cry for assistance.
Screams that are accidental are one thing, understandable. It is the INTENTIONAL screams that are so so so irresponsible and inconsiderate.
That cant be true at all? Are you part of YOSAR? If so, please name an incident this season because of this situation.
This video is totally taken from The North Face's account from a few years back. Either take this video down, or at least link and credit the original.
Louder than eleven made that video and are just reposting on their own account
Still kinda lame that they are reposting all this old footage.
@SoylentGreen why? People haven't seen it before so why not repost it?
Jon glassberg was the guy behind the camera so I think it’s cool if he posts his own footage to his own channel 😂
For a few seconds I thought it was the Golden Gate in a day and not the seven year old video. I understand rebranding it as new footage to get views though. “Eight year old film of Emily freeing El Cap” doesn’t get the views
Screaming and temper tantrums when you can't send a pitch is lame, why do so many pros do this?
Because they're dedicating their lives and trying harder than you when you fall off a 5.9 gym climb. Are you daft
I like the video and I know that I will probably never send a single 5.13 pitch, let alone a big wall... but I don't know, I just can't imagine climbing with someone so emotionally unstable.
While I think I understand what you’re saying, I actually think that calling someone ‘emotionally unstable’ because they get upset and down when they’re struggling with something that’s really hard and might actually be impossible for them is seriously unfair. In fact, I’d say that NOT getting upset at that sort of thing is more of an emotional problem that a lot of people these days suffer with because society makes people feel that we should always be super strong mentally and always hold it together when in reality all that does is cause people to have serious breakdowns later down the line. If you personally would struggle to support someone like her in that kind of situation I think you probably need to have a think about why that is. I don’t mean that to come across as an attack on you, just an observation is all
Climbing at that level (high technical sustained in unreal exposure) requires such concentration. That focused effort is suddenly released in a fall, it's a physical and mental jolt that tends to get expressed. Emily expresses with a scream. Looking at all your effort on the pitch vanish in fall - remember - she is starting the pitch all over again till she gets it clean! Frankly, I think she demonstrated remarkable emotional stability.
I think the video made this clear, but I'll state it again. Not only was this a ton of hard technical climbing over several days, but there were some terrifying pitches (The Monster, Chickenwing Chimney). Not only are these physically and mentally draining, Emily built up some serious road rash. Having large patches of injured skin and muscle bruising is enough to cause all but the hardest to quit and go find a quiet place to lick their wounds.
@@randydewees7338 Would you trust a piece of gear that someone places two minutes after having a mini breakdown? I don't know if I would.
The fact that big wall climbing is so exposed and so scary is exactly why it is so important to hold it together. It's not fair to inflict emotional stress on everyone else who is also relying on you. It's not like you have bolts every 2 meters and can bail in 30 seconds.
When I was on the comparatively tame Lost Arrow Spire Direct I never felt like I was going to fall -- that didn't make it any less scary or any easier to steel my nerves when on a 6-7 meter runout. Having to worry about the mental state of someone who was just screaming isn't going to help that.
@@aleksandrsolzhenitsyn1920 you're kidding right? Emily is a world class climber. And she, with a supreme effort, free climbed a major ElCap route in pretty darn good style. Something that's only been done a handful of times. You casting aspersions on her, it's obvious you know basically nothing about climbing.
In case you have not noticed, you are holding a singular position. Nick up thread mentioned that peculiarity.
@@randydewees7338 Obviously she is one of the strongest climbers in the world... I never said otherwise. All I said is that I wouldn't want to climb with her and I gave my reasons why. It's OK. I doubt she would want to climb with me either. Everything else are just your own projections. Relax.
Too emotional to be a good climber.
Absolute badass
What do you do if you have to pee or poop?
You use a bag and you carry it with you, (yes really)
Brilliant
