- Ola (Aleksandra Taistra) is a Sardinia expert, having ticked off impressive lines including five 8b multipitches on the island already. After being inspired by my instagram adventures, Ola spontaneously invited me to come try a new project with her! Of course, having never met, our main adventure unexpectedly becomes forming a lifelong friendship (dawww so cute).

Thanks to everyone who joined me for the premiere!!! This video felt like another step in both my climbing and videography, and I'm so grateful I got to team up with Ola on the wall, and work with Nils behind the camera!
I've just posted my full attempt on the Viaje 8b+ pitch to my Patreon as well! Here's the link if your interested (join for as little as $2): www.patreon.com/annahazelnutt
Excellent editing and cinematography! I really enjoyed it.
Anna, you must be such a great person to climb with. For you to take her communication and be able to say, "hey, that doesn't work for me," takes a lot of courage. ❤
Something never to be underestimated or taken for granted 🥺❤️🔥
I would never have imagined a pro climber being as scared as I am. Sort of reassuring.
Yup! I get scared haha. It’s a constant work in progress!
The videography on this is outstanding! Really cool to see you pushing your boundaries, we all need an Ola in our lives
What a great video! Loved that two people with such different personalities found the way to comunicate with each other so well. Also seeing a pro climber dealing with fear makes me feel much more confident in my own climbing journey!
🙏🏽🙏🏽 yes! Fear is a very real thing I deal with, glad I can normalize it a bit. It gets better as I keep going but I feel like I’m especially fearful when it comes to climbing into the unknown
Love the format and love how honest and open you are. I get to watch a person who climbs instead of just watching climbing.
Thank you!!
Yes! So happy to see Ola in a video. I met her randomly at a crag in Oman and she later took me multipitching on Pedra Longa in Sardinia. As well as a top climber she is an epic coach. Great video.
Ola’s awesome and so skilled! What a treat :)
Very heart warming film and nice edit! I can relate well to being harsh Polish women (on the outside haha). Go Go strong women!
I'm mostly an indoor climber but after watching move of your outdoor climbing videos you make me want to give outdoor a go which is something I've been nervous about. It's great seeing you grow in this video though. It's very inspiring! Also your editing is on point.
Wow. You just began making world class content out of nowhere. This was a great watch. Great job to you and Nils. I'm impressed that youre editing it yourself! Please keep thos stuff up. Its worth every minute of wait.
Thank you so much! Yeah having Nils as the videographer really let me up the production, and motivated me to work the edit for multiple revisions until I felt happy with it. Glad you liked it! Excited for more opportunities like this one (for both climbing and filmmaking)
This was so good, Anna! Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you!!
Looks amazing - the location, the climb, the photography.
I need to get learning ropes & outdoor - I’m only on indoor bouldering at the moment, but really want to get at least some basic outdoor in this year - you guys make it look so sick, but even some beginner routes I’ve seen look amazing.
Getting outside is such a magical experience!!! And it's for all levels too, I very much recommend 🥰 Sardinia was breathtaking in every direction, we were so lucky to climb here
Anna!! This is such an amazing video. I’m so amazed by you constantly. You have come so far since that day I met you in J tree. You are an inspiration 🌈
I just started climbing indoors a year ago, and am also an aspiring filmmaker, and your documentaries are some of the best things i’ve seen on this platform. So much admiration and respect-you are so cool and inspiring and an amazing, amazing athlete & storyteller :) (edit: also, love the helmet)
Omg that’s incredible! Stick with it/ go for it even though it’s scary and imperfect 💙
That climb looked gnarly ! The video looks amazing and thanks for the motivation to keep pushing harder !
This was so enjoyable to watch. You two are brilliant.
This is so incredibly inspiring! The fear + fun is just so awesome to see.
Viaje de Los Locos, Uaaaaaauuuu another crazy Dani Andrada line
Anna, that was heartstopping, vicarious thrill to watch you climb that last scary climb.
Hahaha amazing!! I noticed when I watched it I stopped breathing for a second. I’m like wait a second, I literally know what happens that’s me 😂
Wow!!!! Both your climbing and your video are amazing! It is so nice to see your new adventures each time ☺
This was super awesome. Great to see such a candid exploration of climbing and the relationships we forge on and off the wall. And those steep crimps look hard as hell in the humidity
That climb looks beautiful! It's awesome that you two got to climb together. It looks like you both learned a lot
Love this video cause it's a story about friendship. Can't wait to go to Sardinia now and hopefully meet Ola!
Ola is the best!! Thank you :)
As always freaking BOSS. Amazing people and inspiration :) Have a GREAT week! :)
Thank you!!!
That looks great, can't wait to see it 👍👍
Yayyy I’m so excited too :)
Loved this video! I appreciate that it highlights two badass climbers while also exploring some very human aspects-especially the way they learned to communicate in more affirming ways with each other.
Beautiful. The story, climbing,
the communication! and vulnerability!
so freaking tenacious! incredible film- loved the exploration of the dynamic between you and ola and how you speak of each other with such respect and admiration! your persistence in the face of fear is so inspiring!!
The production of this is so amazing! I really want to go climb there now.
Awesome job!
What the... the quality of this video is insane
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Inspiring to watch you climbing together and having fun. Beautifully filmed video and edited so well ;)
Anna, you are so raw, so honest, and so incredibly strong (far beyond the physical bounds of that word!). It was beautiful to see how Ola showed you a glimpse of what you are capable of. Great video. You made me feel so many emotions! So psyched to see more videos like this. Please come to Australia!!
Thank you so much!! Second Australia comment, maybe I’ll look into it 😋
@@AnnaHazelnutt the blue mountains are calling…
I second it! Although if you're coming to Aussie you should defo hop across the ditch to NZ too!!
@@myawillmer9239 a video of Anna in Castle Hill would be pretty spectacular!
This is EVERYTHING! It's inspiring and so beautiful too 😍 I wanna be you when I grow up 🩷
I'm loving the editing. What a cool adventure, thank you for sharing
Love it! My daughter has started to get excited about climbing lately and I am happy to know that she will have a bunch of bad ass women to look up to! Totally going to start showing her your videos for some inspiration.
Ahhh that’s amazing! Thank you!
Superb video Anna. Totally inspirational. Some humans are amazing. Thanks
This is amazing
Another beautiful film, Anna! Congratulations. Ola's description of you resonates so much, and most of us only know you from watching your content. ❤❤❤❤❤
Aww thank you!!! We didn’t get to spend too much time together, but we got to know each other fast haha
Omg, such a good energy! Keep it up
Hello,
What an amazing movie!
This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
Huge hug
Thank you!
One of the most feel good video about climbing I've seen in a while. Perfect balance between performance and good vibes !
Props for the pride flag also ❤
🙏🏽 🥹🌈
Wonderful, so professionally produced and yet your trademark easy going humble vibe. A joy to watch and be inspired.
Thank you so much!
Such a stunning video ! Well done and thank you for sharing it !!
Such a nice video. Was really enjoying seeing you climb out of your comfort zone and pushing hard! Well done. :-)
You're so inspiring! Thanks for sharing!
Great video! Climbing is as much about the people as it is about the rock itself :)
Great story, great climbing. Super nice edit!
Großartig. ❤
Amazing video! The crag looks incredible!
Im blown away about how incredible this video is. The quality is superb. Seriously better than reel rock. So stoked for you!!!!
Thank youuuu!!! That means a lot 🥲
@@AnnaHazelnutt don't thank me! Well deserved!!!!!!
Time goes so slow when waiting for an Anna premier! Il go climb until its time :)
What a beautiful video on so many levels
So awesome! Great climbing!
Wow, such a beautifully location!
Fantastic work Anna!
Amazing people and amazing journey : )
Anna Hazlett is an "in" joke, or the new stage name? What a great film tho! Looking forward to seeing more of this work exploring more topics. Keep on doing what you're doing and saying what you're saying :-)
Hahaha it’s my name 🤷🏽♀️ and thank you!!
Really good video! I would love to see more of this!
The video didn't show up on my main yt page, but I found your post on reddit. Awesome, inspirational project! The algorithm should be promoting stuff like that. Keep pushing!
Thank you!! Yeah it seemed to evade the TH-cam algorithm but sometimes it just goes that way 🤷🏽♀️
Sooo cool. You guys are both amazing !
Big Fan of Anna Hazlett :D
Very good editing! Also love sardinia!!! ❤❤❤
Me encanta Anna!!! So impressive!
So cool. Another gem of a video.
Aww thanks Pasha 🥹
amazing amazing amazing
Omg, that was SO COOL!
Yay Anna!! 💗
It awesome watching two really strong women climb! Makes me feel excited! Like there’s some hope for me to get better lol!
Is there any mental tricks you used to over come fear or self doubt when you climb? Also I saw Ola cupping, what are some self care you do as a climber?
Thank you! So glad it gets you psyched! There’s always room for improvement, both physically and mentally 🙏🏽
I had a lot of fear and doubt in this one, and in the end I had to slightly ignore the panic that was trying to take over, and fill myself with affirmations that regardless of what would happen, I would be okay. I did have to stop after I fell though, because I felt that would’ve pushed it too much. Ola cupped me 😂 I usually just use a muscle gun thingy if I feel tight (or force a friend to massage me!). A good deep tissue massage is also a great reset if I can swing it
Great video. I love it
The determination is something I can try and learn from.
I gotta say im like a minute in and anna saying "the line is wet" really feels like an underatatement ahahahaha
Also banger helmet very sick
Anna, you're an amazing, sensitive and so badass climber!
Great stuff!
Would have loved to see a view away from the wall while yall were climbing….to see how high you were on the wall.. hard to tell where you were and what angle you were climbing from just that over climb view but overall its definitely a great little snippet into your climbing adventure in sardinia.. some really beautiful shots ..and great to hear and learn about the dynamic between you two. Looks like a really spectacular place! Wanted this little film to keep going!
Oooh me too!! It would’ve been great to get drone shots on the wall for reference! When I started editing the footage I was wishing we had had an extra day for all the shots I couldn’t get
Great episode Anna, you should start your own production company. Like your little logo on the bottom right ❤
Haha aww that’s such a fun idea! For now… my production company is kinda my TH-cam I guess?
Looks super sick!
That was damn good content :) and inspiring
I love this video so much :D
Anna teaching a European how to be responsive to others different emotions 💪
We both learned a lot about each other’s emotional pallet hahaha
I have been watching videos on your channel on and off and just realized you are fucking strong wtf o.O one more inspiration
😳😳😳 you went hard on this one bruh
funny girls! love it
this is so cute omg
I love the helmet! 🏳🌈🤩
🏹
Looks like a seriously cool line!! I would love to give it a try 🤩🤩 if you girls need a third let me know ! Hahaha
Hey Anna, where do you keep finding those Orcale's? i know they discontinued them.. or do you have a secret stash with dozens of shoes?! :)
I have a secret stash 😂
Hello ! A longer mvie with the free ascent of the route is existing ? (I want to see moooore) Thanks to share for free these videos we all really apreciate it. Welcome from the french pyrenees !!
Hi!! I wish haha, I only had two weeks in Sardinia due to visa issues, so we only got a few days to try the climbing around the island (with weather and such). If I go back… definitely! But for now, this is all we have haha. Glad you want to see more and enjoyed the video! Love the Pyrenees so much, I hope to find myself back there soon
🎉 great video! Congratulations
slab gang
I'm so siked to see the climbs
Is your own last name misspelled two different ways in both the credits and the title of this video?
Neat! When was this? We went there randomly one day and saw the rope and 3 people on that pitch. Only said hi to the dog tho
This was June! That was probably us! Haha. Or maybe it was the squad on Hotel?
@@AnnaHazelnutt was June, or late march. Was probably either you or brette haha. We ran into them too, small world. Or we all just agree Sardinia is the best
Killer!!
💪
I never understood why climbers are afraid of heights - the higher up you fall, the less probable you will touch the ground :)
Not me immediately thinking your last name was spelled incorrectly in the film 😂
Hazlett?
ever climbed in australia?
Not yet!
Can’t really help the nerves that the pitch is named “to the death”
Oh 🙈 that’s only cause I named it that haha. It’s a phrase for when you try to go without falling (redpointing) and maybe a little (or a lot) unprepared for it haha. It’s like, go for the send anyways, give it everything you have even though it’s unlikely AF
@@AnnaHazelnutt oh no is my gumby showing?
On the subject of being scared, I don't think anything has helped my mentality as much as reading Vertical Mind, so I'd recommend it to anyone in the comments.
Thanks for the rec 🙏🏽 I’ll look into it
@@AnnaHazelnutt Oh you definitely should, the book basically changed my entire life, climbing and not climbing.
