Flex Luthor: Where Climbing is Still Wild

Where the spirit of the West lives on, and the climbing is still wild.
After 20 years of silence the enigmatic Flex Luthor at Colorado's aptly named 'Fortress of Solitude' has awoken with a flurry of sends from the nation's top climbers including La Sportiva Athlete Jonathan Siegrist.
Featuring Jonathan Siegrist (@jonathansiegrist) and Matt Segal (@mattsegal)

Thanks for the support Sportiva! The three of us had a ball out there shooting this thing. Hope everyone enjoys!

[@chocolatedumdum2]

Amazing fight man! Send for the us record books too

[@oliver-beaudurivage2876]

Congrats beast! Now would you mind coming to the Gunks and sending Friend Zone?

[@josueyepez5231]

Hey, can you please tell us why you wouldn't use the vegan ones in this route?

[@sethgilbertson2474]

That was amazing. I remember reading about that route when Tommy put it up but I never realized all the other difficulties that went with it! Inspiring work!

[@trevorheise]

love the horse. i thought I wanted to watch climbing, but what sportiva showed me is that I secretly wanted to look at a horse in the middle of the sequence

[@bearcammedia]

Hell yes

[@mcdoonaldsmanager8706]

yeah man me too

[@andrewbisharat]

So psyched for Jonathan (and Matt who will send soon!) but I wish the B story plot line with the horse girl would've been resolved by the ending. She just kind disappears from the film, and I was really hoping to see her and Jonathan riding bareback into the sunset. Is this too much to ask?

[@adamploof3528]

They're clearly leaving room for a sequel. Flex Luthor 2: Brandin' Day.

[@bearcammedia]

Thanks for the sentiment andrew - it was too much to ask apparently...I would know because I asked!

[@sawyerwylie3991]

I’ve wanted to see footage of this route for the last 19 years…..Thanks to everyone involved!

[@dougwestimaging9025]

This is like reel rock and Yellowstone met and had a baby. Epic vibes all around

[@bearcammedia]

haha that was the idea! thanks

[@angrywino]

Such a great video and send. Props to TC for the vision and determination to put this place on the map!

[@GettingNegative]

The horse riding stuff didn’t add anything but distraction to the actual story.

[@WhiteShyGuy]

Amazing climb, great vid! Not sure what's up with those horse shots though...

[@CJski]

Lol that horse needs to lay off the McDonalds

[@zhalzel]

😂

[@aidanscarffe5256]

So good, Thanks for investing in this stuff! This is what we want to see, gets me psyched. Super inspirational Jonathan!

[@zacharylaschober]

Great climbing and great climbing shots. The early opening wild west theme is nice, but then the horse recurring makes the theme seem forced. Reminds me of the Jakob video on with Chess… thrown in heavy handedly.

[@Turnoutburndown]

Cool editing choice throwing the shots of the horse in the middle of the climb.

[@marc5279]

awesome climbing footage, the sound was really adding to it

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

That was cool watching that, total fight till the top out.
Nice one ✊

[@nate_liles]

Nice work fellas! Absolutely love the vibe up in the cloud.

[@BoboBish]

7:59 love that crossover move to the pinch.

[@PanzrKunst]

Great film, great send. I really like how the filming is close to the action.

[@GiorgosPlanar]

Wonderful film. And what a climb...

[@christianmedina9531]

[@sstrong42]

[@adampeters1714]

Nice work fellas!

[@donkyuhbuhts540]

[@davidthomas1424]

Good to see this, and inspirational, but you're not wrong about the rock quality! The Fortress of Shale 😉 Was there with the late Dave Pegg in about 2004 - so thank you for the memories xx .. and great effort! 😁💪👍👏

[@LuisRodriguez-bd1ej]

[@bearcammedia]
