Free soloing is far from being a widely practiced aspect of climbing and the number of climbers who could be described as 'soloists' is pretty small. The number of people who can claim to have soloed a Patagonian peak is even smaller; and that's not just because of the region's notoriously bad weather. Earlier this year, Squamish-based climber Brette Harrington wrote her name into the history books when she free climbed 'Chiaro di Luna' (5.11a) becoming the first woman ever not just to free solo this route, but to free solo any route in the Fitz Roy Massif. We were lucky enough to grab a word with Brette at the 2015 Arc'teryx Alpine Academy where we found out more about this astonishing ascent.

Marc and Brett’s must of had some really serious bond . I’m thinking about all of the life and death situations they shared and living together in the razors edge. What an amazing, beautiful relationship. Horrible loss losing Marc
Goal for this summer: join a climbing gym and get started with climbing. Yes, at the age of 40. I may not get to climb thousand-meters-high mountains but any hill will do. :-)) I've spent practically 39 of my 40 years fearing everything. I'm done being scared and feeling useless for physical activities.
Su Tash you got this I spent most my life in extreme sports. I had to stop for over 5 years cause f injuries I’m 31 now and started climbing and I love it. Honestly the best advice man climb a lot see if they have month pass at your gym Join a group climb a lot and get your forearms strong. It will take awhile and you will know when your ready to push to the next limit. And learn to trust your belayer and your rope. Rope does stretch and it feels weird but it’s not bad man :) and tape on your fingers in certain spots will help with blisters. I am strong for all climbs I try I just have to stop cause my forearms giveout so I hope that helps :)
I’m 39 and just started last month. I’ve always been in good shape so that helps but either way climbing is just a ton of fun.
Just wondering how your climbing journey is going?
Howd it go
Aaaand?
You inspire me with your bravery and commitment especially given the loss of your soulmate
I'm just glad she admitted free soloing can be intense...
Amazing video about her in reel rock 11
She's just a sweetheart and excellent clomber, sorry for her loss of Marc.
Felicitaciones Brette!!!!!!👏👏👏👏
Crazy, crazy, youth. I wish I could be a youngster again.
You sure got that right !!! To think of ALL time I squandered in my 20's.
Amazing climber and adventurer
Inspiration to all women who climb!!!! Asewome💜💜💜💜💜
Impressive.
When you take off to the mountains for few weeks at a time how do you bring food supply to last the trip?
Is there a beginners guide with lots of information because I'm really interested to learn.
Its all about bringing food that lasts and is light to carry it all depends on what type of climbing you want to do if its multi pitch climbing and your camping over night on a ledge on the mountain then you carry that with you and hoist it up using ropes or you have a camp site nearby that you will keep your food at if you're doing smaller stuff search on youtube using the key words or google you may come across something or even better yet use forums and ask a question theres bound to people who have a wealth of knowledge and you can't beat your local climbing gym or shop for advice also! hope this has helped spark some ideas!
One word.....porters.
rushthezeppelin ya man no way I'm carrying all that porters it is.
Porters, or you just eat like crap.
got to see this bad ass chick freeing muir wall in the valley last year that was inspiring! KEEP CRUSHING!!
I miss the "Alpinist". Much Love and Healing!!!
This is awesome. What a rad lady.
This is real Beauty and power and strength
Anybody know the song at 0:22?
Your so cool marcs girl 😊
The amount of times she said "solo" and "free-solo" doe
2enjoihsu doing it for attention most likely.
Its the topic of the video, literally. Same like written articles. The subject or topic is usually mentioned numerous times.
Assuming that's a solo-selfie at 4:05, why is she carrying cams?!
Rappel down from an anchor?
What a woman !
Is there a video of her free solo climb?? This is just a bunch of talk and a still photo or two. Was the climb videotaped?
She is beautiful
she looks kinda like a female Owen Wilson
No relation to Emily Harrington?
+Barnaby Bruce nope, that would be a strong family if it was! ;)
No video, so did it really happen?
I am starting to seriously consider go soloing some easy routes I know. The more I watch these kind of videos the more I want to do it.. !
+gertrude dulila One slip, little bit of bad luck and your life is literally over. Is it worth it?
Moonti and this comment is exactly why this channel, and others, should stop showing videos of people free soloing. Smdh
nerfzinet.....is it really worth driving to work.....one slip on your steering wheel man, that's all it takes.
You can be the best climber in the world and know you can climb that route super easy like you would a tree,... but you just can’t predict when that “bomber” piece of rock that your pulling on decides to snap off.
Glad I roped up ;)
May I suggest you try free water soloing instead???
If you're still alive, make sure you climb the route a bunch of times beforehand and know exactly every single move you'll do
wow she's cute
Can I marry her?
You might want to meet her and get her to fall in love with you first.....just saying.
A comment such as your tends to preclude that possibility.
Not for me. Don't need to Die to Live
What a lil cutie patootie
Hey guys did I mention that I soloed that climb that that one time. She looks scared as hell. I don't believe she likes soloing as much as she says.
Scared because one slip and it is a free fall to either a lifetime of disability (if less than maybe 30' drop) or death---that impact must hurt like hell, but then no memory of it....... I am really impressed with her, but this is just asking for death...... but apparently that is a key element in the drug-like high.......
I don’t believe you’ve solo’d this mountain
Girls shouldn't climb high mountains!!
Clotch Cargo oh fuck off
You medieval gnome. I'm speechless how someone can be so shit.
Thank you for using inverse psychology to inspire more girls to climb a mountain as high as she wants. :-)))
looks like you struck a chord :P
