- Hazel Findlay is not just one of the best and boldest female trad climbers around, she's one of the best regardless of gender. But, what makes Hazel truly special is her down-to-earth personality, which shines through in this video. Join Cedar Wright as he follows Hazel up two of her hardest sends in Yosemite Valley; 'The Book of Hate' (5.13+) and the second ascent of 'The Pre-Muir' (5.13+) on El Capitan. Beyond the climbing, Cedar also gives us a look into what makes Hazel tick: what it's like to be a female in a predominately male sport, what it's like to make your living from climbing, what motivates Hazel as a climber, and what it's like to have your pick of the boys.

"It helps to be smart in climbing. That's why I'll never be the best because I'm slightly dumb..."
LMAO she is the actual cutest thing I've ever seen. I like how she doesn't take herself too seriously.
Brits tend to be that way. Like it too.
Hazel has such a wonderful personality
Every natural person have a wonderful personality. She is not a victim of the capitalism system.
@@heinzsielmann5952 only on TH-cam would you find a comment about the "capitalist system" on a fuckin trad climbing video
Its just like, the capitalism, man.
I'm in awe watching this video at the great climbing and beauty of the locations. Very good advice as well. We all have to start somewhere and have to stick at it to get better.
Nice! As an aside, it's great seeing Hazel placing gear and making those clips--that can be one of the hardest aspects of a climb.
At 4m 52s, Hazel explains that climbing is like chatting up girls. I never knew it was that easy!
5:03 is so adorable hahaha
Such a young lady but yet you are already a legend. I watched when you climbed with Alex Honnold you are amazing
Nice work Cedar.
So cute her laugh!! ❤️😁
What a great mindset!!! You set your own limits.
Refreshing. 😊 Congrats ! 👏
That's such a great message. Nice one Hazel.
Not only did she teach me how to mentally be as I am climbing anything, but she also gave me advice on how to get women :) thank you and keep climbing! You inspire me so much!
Same here!
RipGNAr She actually inspired me to approach a girl I like :)
i went up to a girl yesterday and asked if she wanted to go for a coffee...she told me to go fuck myself
dave lastman lmfao my life man
yeah and i asked in a polite way too...go figure
We don't need Marvel Comics Universe, we have a real live Hazel Findlay right here doing amazing things!!
I don't think hazel can travel the universe tho
Good tunes Cedar!
incredible climber. great pics
Everyone fails, they fail over and over again, till they learn the correct way to do something. That's where experience comes from. A Master climber is someone who has failed, or has seen failure by others, in just about every single way, and learned from the experience.
Wonderful young woman and fantastic role model. Love her.
very nice :) I just had a moment of self reflection about "just try". Very well put!
also, camera-man check your focus on the interview ;)
It really is good advice. Women like confidence.
sweet video
What a turbo sweetie pie.... love, LOVE her attitude!!
She has the cutest voice.
what a sweetheart
Lol. 'Most people don't climb cos they're worried about looking stupid in front of their mates.' Yeah, got nothing to do with hanging off a rock face being fkn terrifying 😅
What happened to the sound? The music and voice sound very low quality for some reason...
Wooowww.....so cool 👍 guys ...i love it .... stronger girls with climbing
Great combo of adorable and bad ass...
Hazel is the most lovable badass ever! 😊
I wish I could take her advice more easily. I took a climbing course right before deciding to remodel a house and move, which consumed like a year and a half right before covid BS started (a busy time for a healthcare worker). Im trying to find climbing partners now to get back out there and really finally get in to climbing and mountaineering, but Im afraid to be 'that guy' that just drags down an otherwise fun day with his newness.
It sucks to live in your own head but its so hard not to.
keep trying Brian, lots of opportunities at climbing gyms for days out with other people, and also there are lots of courses running, where you based?
Linda eres un encanto y una chica muy valiente, te felicito.
Is all the protection pre placed?
So do you just leave all those little connectors in the wall? Or do you climb back down after reaching the top to collect them?
I realize this is 4 years late, but still: Those are all removable, they are cleaned either on lowering or by the second (the person belaying will then come up after) while they go up.
As the lord of looking stupid, i can honestly say to anyone that's worried about it, don't let it stop you!!!!
Pre Placed protection = Pinkpoint. Redpoint is repeating the climb while placing gear with no falls.
jeff constine Actually the guy who invented this said it was OK to pre-place gear, because it can interrupt the flow of the climb
Hey they do as they like! No going to be my legacy. Pink Is the norm now, just bringing down a level.
dang so the El capitain spot, kind of made me feel sick when I realized how far up, the their little camp is just on the side of that rock, I wanna go up there, just not by climbing
like at 3:45 holy crap
Your English gave me cancer
Why do I watch this climbing stuff at 1-6am? I get vertigo and start sweating just watching it.
🤣
Who placed your pro?
this is a precious person speaking their truth!
Lovely photo at the beginning of you, your dad with Emma and Paul.
I like how she climbs. She's an amoeba flowing upwards!
Curious as to why she doesn't wear a helmet? I get she's a professional and it's probably an inconvenience, but I feel like it would be super helpful if she did fall?
I've seen her climb in other videos, she didn't climb with a helmet in those either. Maybe it's like the skateboarding mentality. 'FUCK IT I'M GOING DO THIS RIGHT OR I'M GETTING CONCUSSED'
if i just tried to free el cap hazel i would die
+Rosie J I believe she's talking more about setting oneself free from the shackles in one's own mind than about free soloing.
+Drew Northup Just a heads up, free climbing and free soloing are not the same. Free climbing is using protection but no aids while free soloing is no protection or aids.
jeffries848 I know darn well what the difference is. Please read the whole set of comments before concluding that somebody is an idiot. When Ms. Findlay refers to "soloing" something I think we both know what she's talking about. She sure was doing a lot of standard free climbing in the piece (and not soloing), but do please pay attention to the context of the conversation before concluding I wasn't paying attention to the video.
your comment will clarify things for someone so i'm sure it's appreciated
border patrol Ha ha ha, what a knob you are!
what is the meaning of the notation at 1:10?
5 .13+ is the degree of difficulty in that particular section of the climbing route called Book of hate. It is so difficult that it is reserved for only the best climbers in the world, the elite.
Is the pro all in place on this climb?
Greg Mathews yup, that’s the new standard...if it’s too hard...just stick click every piece...
Amazing woman
Climbers are the most chill type of athlete out there
1:54 amazing.....
music in the background is....annoying
Ton moteur est cette belle énergie positive.. What a route, what a girl !
We Have to learn in Alps...! 😉
I worry just watching the video
Isnt the music drive you guys mad?
Strong girl.
she is so cute
Ok I'm asking, you are an awesome girl beautiful personality.
sweet and strong big respect..
She has to be the cutest little person ever
wow...🤗
She is too cute for words.
I don't care if she is roped in. The protection is not fail safe. Takes guts and talent.
i took a nap watching this
So pretty.
Fk, shes beautiful!
勇敢的女英雄
十分优秀的登山勇士
Her and emily harrington are the most adorable and badass female climbers!!!
🌷🌷🌷🌻🌷🌷🌷
No matter how many times I watch climbing I get a freaky twitchy feeling.
I’ll ask ya!
By alex lowes reckoning you look like one of the best climbers in the world
Damn she good
Hazel you are what you call every guys dream girl!!!! not to mention your one of the best female climbers in the world !!!!!! Funny personality!!!!!!! 100% Ring worthy !!!!!!!
All this talk about the difference about men and women and the difference between male and female climbers ... and being up on El Cap ... and yet not one single mention of Lynn Hill doing he first *free* ascent of The Nose back in 1993? It would take five years before the next person was able to repeat the route. Lynn also did the route in under 24 hours and I took TEN YEARS before anyone (male or female) could repeat this accomplishment. Lynn's climb of the The Nose Free was so ahead of it's time, she didn't rate the crux pitch (the Changing Corners) as hard as they really are -- which I think people now rate 5.14a/b. It is still a route that is very rarely repeated and it proved that women climbers (at least Lynn anyway) could climb just as hard if not harder than men.
Also a little disappointed that they don't talk about the history of the particular route they are climbing (Book of Hate). Book of Hate was one of Randy Leavitt's many futuristic climbs ... he did a particular number of big corner climbs like this (thus the route names "Book of Hate, Book of this, Book of that ..." and the route requires state-of-the-art smearing and balance moves. This was possibly Randy's grandest achievement ... 5.13d smearing. Maybe it's just me, but I do like to hear a bit about a route's history and the first ascent.
Five years to repeat the free nose? I thought the 2nd free ascents were Tommy and Beth in 2005 (12 years after Lynn's FFA)
NickFalacci funny that you said that because I just watched a video on Lynn hill and her ascent it’s amazing
Are you part of the professional offended group or just a recreational whiner?
Crowtein lol neither I don’t climb at all but started watching climbing videos and it was ironic that I watched the video over Lynn hill and then this video popped up on my feed.
I’m sorry, that was rude of me.
It’s your opinion and I should’ve respected it instead of making a stupid joke.
Good day.
coolllll..... @hazel finlay
Wow mountain climbing from a regular person.
Oh hell no, I won't go!
Total cutie pie.
Gosh she is hot. Not that it matters but I'm digging her personality.
Steve B actually she's not, you should see her other videos in shorts. She's really short with heavy legs and cankles
She's a cutey, and an accomplished climber. :-)
No helmet ?
Hazel ever done anything with Alex Honnold?
th-cam.com/video/KzdCmUDnTpc/w-d-xo.html
Jonno Window ha yeah as soon as I put that comment I searched out and found out they've done tons of stuff, including each other probably 😂
@@GuinessOriginal - Two gods...
What is it with that word "like", it like serves no purpose? I'm like trying to tune out the background music but it's like quite difficult. Otherwise you're like amazing!
Your comment serves no purpose, except to announce that you're a petty nitpicker.
Not a good point. You’ve quibble over a silly word and ignore the amazing feat of what’s she’s talking about! Grammar police are not welcome.
Im the never get a girl guy...should I be sad :(?
yes
Cvetan Velinov Yes, or you take her advise and do it.
Take her advice......just go up and ask girls out, consequences be damned. The worst that happens is you get rejected and move on. The more you are rejected the less of a big deal it is. Confidence is HUGE HUGE HUGE though. And remember you can always fake it till you make it. Fake confidence and you get a positive response and it boosts your actual confidence. Fuck the butterflies in your stomach.
Why the rope if you don't wear a helmut?
Because if she falls from that high it wont matter if she's wearing a helmet or not.
"like"
can you please make the music louder, i could still hear hazel
Oh is "freeing" not the same as free soloing?
no
She fine
"What does it matter if you totally fail ?"
Well...
Damn she has shoulders as wide as mine...
...but this promotes safe climbing.
I think you are confusing free climbing and free soloing.....like most people.
free climbing: hands + feet + rope in case you fall
free soloing: no rope....you fall...you probably die.
I don’t see why anyone would free solo, I’m just as impressed with free climbing and I don’t think you’re a crazy person with a death wish when you have the ropes there.
Can you say John Bacher?
I prefer the girls that ask guys
Yes if she is attractive.......haha im like a magnet for fat chicks
Such a babe
Trad freaks me out. Placement, all parts of the cam, and the rock must not fail or you may die. Also crack climbing, the earth shifts and the the crack snaps shut eating your hand and fingers.
Then you won't be the rubbish climber anymore! So cute!
So I guess from now on we all have to now mention (gender) on planet earth.
How do these ppl got the money to just climb all day???
no vnm corporate sponsorships
Alex Honnold had a piece of that
Yer a dog, alright.
That was a weirdly uncomfortable interview
“Women are more afraid looking stupid” like splattered at the bottom of a mountain.
who pays climbers ?
sponsors e.g. Patagonia, North Face etc. Or film makers.
