CHINA

"It's one of the most unique landscapes in the world... These vegetation-covered, crazy dots on the landscape in every direction that just go on forever."
'China' follows Arc'teryx athlete Jonathan Siegrist through a month-long trip across one of the most stunning and unique places in the world, where the climbing is as diverse as the landscape. From massive limestone arches to the sheer overhanging faces, the area is home to some of the most difficult climbing in all of Southeast Asia.

6:09 the guy is literately standing in front of a sign saying "climbing is prohibited, you are responsible for the consequences resulted from climbing" hahaha

This video deserves at least 1M views. It is extremely quality content. Thank you. It was a pleasure to watch.

[@acommenter5184]

Maybe there is a longer version that is no longer here? I didn't see any "extremely quality content" or anything that would make me think it should be viewed 1MM times. What I saw was a few pretty conventional climbing sequence shots surrounded by "what an awesome adventure" filler and unneeded music. I'm sure the folks had a memorable experience and they're good climbers, with good resolution video.

It should be Guizhou province, Guiyang is the capital city of Guizhou province

[@kacimbec2528]

Wouldn’t it be nice if this was an hour long and we actually got to see the climbing and the experiences instead of weeks condensed into 10 minutes

@arc'teryx

Check out the Petzl Rock Trip in China! It's about 40min

[@btrvisuals6472]

Incredible videography, some breathtaking shots and epic editing. Left me feeling inspired and wanting more 👌

[@timsr.6706]

You guys are tremendous athletes and is unbelievable shape to do that in my opinion, but also a little nuts ! I can't even get on a 16' high ladder and get all dizzy and ready to fall off.

If anyone is trying to find the song past 0:18 it's - (Ojalá nunca te pierda - Alejandro Ordóñez) - I can't find a version that's instrumental only, sorry guys :( - 2:50 is (Frédéric Boutin - I Want to Die - but, again, trying to actually find a full version of the song is pretty hard...)

[@beneckstein7020]

Featuring myself watching from the field at 8:33. Solid stuff Jstar

[@guitarsbikesandpie]

That music that starts at 18 seconds in, I knew I recognized it from somewhere! It's also used in TNF's video - Life Coach (at 10:18)... And both are excellent short climbing films. Coincidence? Maybe.

[@TheRaveAndi]

Welcome to China.

[@Marc-uy7hp]

Gorgeous. What camera setup was this shot on?

[@ErasmusLocke]

Marc its never about the camera. Tara is just talented.

[@Marc-uy7hp]

Totally agree, but still curious!

"... the area is home to some of the most difficult climbing in all of Southeast Asia." Since when is China considered part of Southeast Asia?

[@ruizhang6116]

ok

[@paulmitchell5349]

China has hundreds of superb granite cliffs. Go and find them.

[@kanepowell6521]
