Another shoutout to including the talk through of the entire climb. It really shows how much planning goes into an ascent like this, plus helps the viewer understand and appreciate each move and gear placement.
I doubt Connor will read this, but I am a scientist who loves to climb. I didn't have the privilege of parents like this, but I have managed to combine the two passions by using neuroscience to make a small entrance into the world of climbing research. Anyway, I just wanted to say that it is always possible to combine passions into a single meaningful pursuit. Blessings and I'm so excited to see what you do.
This dude really personifies the result of a supportive family, intelligence, skill, passion and athleticism. Really cool to see what the next generation is accomplishing.
When I started climbing about 9 years ago, I would see Conner at my gym making 12s looks easy. I think he was about 4'-10". I'm 5'-3". It was good for me to be reminded that it's not about reach, it's about technique, discipline and commitment. Way to go Conner. Still inspiring. Also, shout out to videographer Harry Yuan. Beautiful work dude.
This was awesome! Well done Connor! That was beautiful climbing on Empath. Also Great job by La Sportiva and the production team for leaving in all the gear placements with the voice over. Incredible stuff. 🤩🤩
Great content with that talk through. And amazing filming! All the holds and moves were visible and you could really see how hard some of it was. Great job Connor and filmmakers.
Very inspiring to see great climbing, ethics, and great safety all in such a hard lead! I'm taking this psych and attitude to my trad-dad projects which are 5 grades below this, but still...
It would be great to see a comparison video of the different ascents of Empath so far. Maybe someone with the requisite time and skill could make a nice side by side video comparing the boulder-heavy beta of Daniel Woods, Jimmy Webb and Carlo Traversi with this masterpiece of jamming? I don't mean to disparage either style it would just be really interesting to see.
Quality film, great story. Especially liked the walk through of the send, made for much more engaging viewing - helps really put you there. But the product placement in this was gratuitous and unnecessary, and interrupted the story. Give us (the viewers) some credit, we see the product regardless. As a brand and product marketer in the outdoor industry I can almost say with certainty this came from a client who does not appreciate how brand storytelling works, and where the lines are drawn between brand and product marketing.
Next level trad and crack technique. Congrats Connor
You and Tom still need to come check it out and find some lobster and crayfish jams

Gotta love the talk-through of that trad route!
The talk through on the final climbing scene is so cool. Hope to see more of that. Congrats to Connor!

I loved the beta walkthrough with the video!!
@wideboyz when are y'all going to come try this??
Incredible! Moral of the story with jamming, "just trust it and it holds, most of the time"

Awesome video. Also completely changed my opinion of greenpointing. Such a rad send.

five grades below 5.14d is 5.13c which is still extremely elite. Unless you mean number grades
@@kockarthur7976Trad 13c would be amazing! Sadly I mean 5.15 - .5 = 5.10
@@benjaminsebald5429 Still elite in my heart :')
Amazing ascent, so very inspiring Connor, well done!

Wow! Insane short film
But hear me out, what if you just released all the Jailhouse footage?
"you can't make somebody likes climbing, you can make 'em hate it" - so true ('4:15)
Amazing work, climber and film maker both :)
Beautiful climb
Damn young man, great send
Amazing
Amazing! Wonder why it was bolted in the first place. Looks hard as but the gear seemed sane.
Goood effort!!! Top bloke.
really cool video, the guy is really strong.
Fire! 👏🙌🔥❤️
So insane!
Incredible, must be tied with Bon Voyage and Tribe as the hardest trad routes in the world
There’s a 5.14d Trad route in the Gunks as well!
Also Meltdown in Yosemite. Just Beth Rodden and Carlo have done it.
@@chuffer595 and Jacopo Larcher
@@sueedenjin yes! my b
Wow!!! 🎉🎉
Skip to 15:10 for the send..
Solid!
THE FUTURE
Sick as!
No one here talking about how Carlo putting the ass back in first assent?
When your 5.15 that 'doesn't have jams' and 'wouldn't go on gear' gets downgraded via hand jams and goes on gear, I guess it's easy to get defensive
@@719msh I'm talking about the typo where they spelled it assent
@@omidj Haha, I was assuming you were referring to his kinda dismissive attitude in this interview
I shit myself on some 5.10 trad routes over here in saxony. Mad props to this guy.
great video, i doubt people who are watching this video need the empire state building comparison to el cap though..
The Future
"toejam!" DRINK!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
blew my onsight -__-
What's the E Grade for Empath?
Anyone know where this crag is? 2:28 looks like a shot of Thunder Mountain which fits the description of being affected by the Caldor Fire.
This guy gives a lot better beta than my climbing buddies. They just gesture and grunt effusively. "ssssskiiiiUUUUUUH!"
Note: Do not watch if you`re planning to onsight anytime soon.😜 Mind blowing send to an aging 5.8 climber that barely climbed 5.11.
The youngest climber to top El Cap
Cobra Crack next?
