BREATHTAKING Rock Climbing in Sardinia, Italy

[@solomonreinman7452]

This is great, and so was the original! It's great to see climbers who are receptive to the interests of the community and also tell the story that they want to about their climbing journey. We all know that climbing is maybe 5% sending hard stuff and 95% all of the joy and heartbreak on and off the wall that leads up to it

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Thank you!! I think it nicely complements the docu! The main criticism of the film was that there wasn’t enough climbing, so I was excited to make a super climbing video to add to the Sardinia experience haha

[@coisavioleta]

Don't ever stop doing things that make you happy and fulfilled, Anna. The first film was beautiful, and this one is too. The editing of you and Ola in the tufa climb was amazing!

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Thank you!!

[@nadzianyx]

I love both of these as complimentary films so much!! Super sick climbing, gorgeous filmography and editing, thank you for sharing! Also I'm from Poland, and my mom's name happens to be Aleksandra -- she also goes by Ola -- so Ola's stern encouragement in these videos gave me childhood flashbacks lmao

[@adrianr5442]

A climb is a storyline. There's a beginning, middle, and end and that's why it's interesting to watch

[@JS-sb4ri]

This footage was awesome...really inspiring to watch your tactics for continuing on on that first climb once you're clearly super pumped and feeling uncertain about what's ahead. Definitely a level of try-hard I aspire to be able to hit someday

[@dog1783]

First vid was an incredibly well-made film/story. Awesome to see more climbing but you should feel proud of the original film, it’s amazingly raw and human and it captures how climbing actually feels for us mere mortals :)

[@stefslyfe]

Dude Anna, I knew that you were strong but DAMN!!! You are #goals on soooo many levels. Wow…..what an incredible video….And Ola??? Geeeeeeeezzzzzz…..Incredible…..

[@blairdowis491]

i love both videos! i really enjoyed seeing the human aspects of climbing in the first film, but i was left wanting more climbing too!

[@daniel-becker]

Such a great climb! Makes me happy that I'm not the only one who has random music popping in his head while climbing 😄

[@EvanvanLaar]

The edit on the two of you climbing the tufa line is awesome!!!

[@sofussverressnnfinne204]

perfect compliment of the original video.

[@Spinsser]

I always enjoy your content Anna But honestly, this trip makes you look even more badass! Seeing you push past the mental aspect of the climb is inspirational and the goofy stuff you do makes your baddassery more amazing 😁 Looking forward to more amazing videos.

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Haha awww thank you!! Always trying to push my limits 🥹

[@arthurstriker3894]

I just landed in Olbia. I am driving down to Ulassia tomorrow to climb. I am so stoked!!!

[@sirsanderson8861]

spectacular and strong climbing! 💪 great multipitch advice from Ola to not look down too much 😅

[@ralphmunn1685]

Absolutely beautifully filmed and edited, and exciting all the way, regardless of the outcomes of various pitches. My overriding take-away here is that we Boner Bros have SO much to learn from the sorority of hardwomen climbing today - many of us are taint-deep in try-hard, but have forgotten how to play while we're at it! THANK YOU for reminding us! 🙏

[@mw5360]

Gorgeous video, and great climbing!

[@irenaadventures]

My arms are pumped just watching this

[@lui5gif]

Honestly, I don't think this gave me more climbing than the original, but then again I loved the original. I will say that, despite knowing the outcome, I was still somehow rooting for you to finish the pitch 😅 Hopefully you don't feel discouraged from making those types of videos. It's such a beautiful, organic sport, built and developed mostly by love and volunteer labour. I love hearing their stories, and even better when you emphasise strong female climbers such as Ola and yourself ❤

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

🙏🏽 Thank you! Definitely more climbing in this one hehe, but I'm glad you enjoyed both films!

[@drstrangelove85]

Great video! Just out of interest (I really don't know): What would happen to the draw and the rope if Olga would be falling at 4:36 where the rope is in a carabiner where a sling is clipped to?

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Yeah usually we try to avoid this because the fabric of the QuickDraw sliding past a rope causes damage. Realistically, Ola would be absolutely fine but it’s not good practice haha. I do it too on the tufas 🙈 we didn’t know the route well enough to know if the extensions would be helpful or not!

[@drstrangelove85]

@@AnnaHazelnutt thanks for answering and for the explanation. I actually never saw something like this happening. Keep up the great videos!

[@natalieminnis]

A joy to watch.

[@mrconch7238]

Damn! Way to really stick with it on that first pitch in the video. That got me pumped

[@hannibal3143]

"ovaries to the wall attempt" is a pretty hilarious saying. It's just a shame that it doesn't rhyme like balls to the wall does. After some time trying to think of alternatives, I was stumped, so i turned to google. I ended up finding a 4 year old reddit thread discussing this. The top suggested alternative was: "ovaries to the rotaries". I also found out that the saying balls to the wall doesn't actually refer to testicles! Apparently it originally came from aviation and refers to balls on the throttle, so pushing the balls to the wall means going to max power. Also, loved the video as always!

[@EdBordin]

Came to the comments to say this was an underrated line 😂

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

hahhaha omg the more you know!! Ovaries to the rotaries lololol yessss

[@JustMeClimbing]

Ola is so funny when climbing and also just as a person :D she seems sweet too so i'm happy you two had a good time 👌💪

[@joschtuegs2562]

Millennium cave looks like so much fun 😮

[@nandovancreij]

love that last shot!

[@asconblake]

9:44 :D the synced clipping sound with the music ::DD

[@slowsallyandcrew]

Another great vid!

[@GlowingShutter]

Well done - thanks for the docu. I have to say I am always halfway sad seeing these tufa cave climbs ... because climbers destroy many stalactites in these magnificent caves and smear chalk everywhere. But I agree it is super fun to climb (I have been to Kalymnos a few times where you have them as well). I guess it is more up to the local administration if they want to have more untouched nature or more tourists ...

[@adriansth]

I sometimes think about the same as you. I just look at the caves we climb in and go, can't believe they actually allow us to climb here! I love it though, best form of climbing. And they do fall off. The tufa I'm holding in my profile picture almost killed me. Fell from another climber and broke my shoulder clean off!

[@IvesAerts]

Liked both this and the previous video. The sounds Olga makes while climbing remind me of Cédric Lachat. Check out the videos he made with Nina Caprez, if you haven't seen them yet. Great climbing and very entertaining.

[@Aaron-xq6hv]

LOL at that last bolt. Man I really need to climb in Europe cause everything looks amazing there.

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

I love the climbing in Europe!!

Ladies... chapeau bas!

very cool

[@kyleknox4129]

Been watching you for a few years queen, gotta say you have a sleeper build. You look like a normie untill you really start getting gripped, then all the sudden you turn into a cobra shoulder goddess❤❤❤

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

hahaha that's amazing. Looks can be deceiving, this string bean can pull 😂

[@justusheekin]

anyone know the song at 0:40?

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Oliver Michael- Running in the dark - instrumental version

[@kanebuckthorpe1]

If I complain about this video, do we get a third? :P

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

😂 quite possible. What can I say, I listen to the people hahaha

[@MonkeyBarsEveryday]

is hanging on quick draws chill? idk much abt route climbing

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

I usually wouldn't think twice about trusting a bolt! Bolts I tend to climb on aren't as rusty/loose as these ones. The canyon is quite humid and the route is older so I think that's why they were a bit sketchy.

[@themeatpopsicle]

Climbing Internet will never not be savage, unfortunately

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

Yeah 🤷🏽‍♀️ Social media is a tricky business... can't say it's always easy/nice but for the most part I'm grateful I get to climb as much as I do!

[@Malleus_Maleficarum_]

*it is annonying that an ancient land like Sardinia, populated by one of the oldest civilizations in Europe, has its toponyms mangled with foreign languages. Why has a place in Sardinia called "Viaje de los Locos" and not "viazzu de sos Maccos" which is sardinian language? Spanish rule ended 300 years ago in Sardinia.*

[@eidreen]

Because the route was put up by spanish climbers. Certain people just need to find problems in anything I guess.

[@fredscratchet1355]

Ovaries to the wall..... yeah ok😄

[@Pdoggok]

Love you anna! Thanks for the extra content

[@mndyD9]

Love that this is not only two amazing female climbers being BAMFs but also the great visual storytelling!! 🩷✨😍 PS: Also major credits to the camera person for climbing and shooting great shots!! 👏🏼

[@jthowsies]

so much faith in your gear

[@AnnaHazelnutt]

😅 part of the reason I was an emotional mess on the ledge haha. I was very scared lol

[@themeatpopsicle]

Climbers have _trust_ in their gear because they inspect the equipment and systems. Faith is belief without reason. That's what gets people killed.
