  • Mari Salvesen makes first ascent of Tazlov, a long term first ascent project of hers, in Norway.
    The route starts on an easy slab. Then from the back of the roof to the end of the crux around the lip the difficulties are similar to that of a long F7C+ boulder problem. The final headwall is easy but bold.

    Mari's mindset to climbing is incredible. Never self deprecating, always matter of fact, ever the realist, and full of self confidence. Such a rad climber to watch.

    I like how Pete doesn't commentate over the video. Lots of climbing videos have too much "come on!"/encouragement etc. This video was quiet and basically climbing ASMR... felt like I was there with you. 10/10 video, good climbing, good filming, and a brutal crux

    This is amazing. I've been staring at that area of Blåbærveggen so many times, but always decided against it because it seemed too hard. And I didn't know if anyone had climbed it.
    I was right. Mari is just inhumanly strong.

    Dude Mari is such a freaking inspiration for me. Talk about just giving it every ounce of strength you have screaming your way to the top.
    This and BFOBB is the two best things you've filmed so far. Loved the documentary feel in the beginning and the good close-ups of the clean as heck jams 💪

    I remember 25 years ago, there was no 8b in Norway and I lost count of how many times Per Hustad and me went out to Damtjern working on Marathon. Finally Per made it, not sure who was happier, he or me. Very impressed with Mari, excellent footwork and the balance transfers was pure art to watch.

    This is an amazing video. As great as it is to see the progression of climbing to ever insane levels, it's nice that even small filmmakers are doing equally well to document their progress (specifically this and the recent Michaela Kiersch ascent of Dreamcatcher come to mind).

    Congrats on your send, Mari! That sequence looks pretty wild.
    That crux sequence reminds me of some of the crack techniques I've found intermixed with boulder moves at Stone Fort (classic bouldering area in Tennessee). But this is obviously orders of magnitude more difficult.

    So cool to see her push and persevere. I’ve done that too, albeit on MUCH easier climbs. But it’s good to see that even the greats have to work hard to achieve their goals. But also how can she grip those insane slimpers??? And that nothing heel jam..???

    If I may ask, would you be able to provide any insight on the two types of shoes used? I'm wondering what about the route likely led to the decision in splitting them up (also noticed the right shoe changed between brands).
