so funny this "spider" episode, one in "panic" mode the other quietly enjoying a snack in total indifference :D

[@julesybethmedlini]

Refreshing to see someone not ascent and be okay with that- that’s part of everyone’s process and nice- actually, to see.

[@CollinHurler]

From around 10:35 to 10:56, I was pretty concerned about what my coworkers would think if they heard those sounds coming through my headphones lolllll

[@AmericanAlpineClub]

Haha! That's fair.

[@mikemcf9189]

Kat's screams are the best explanation of what off-width climbing is like that you'll ever hear!

[@emersonk4356]

lmao

[@didacb88]

absolutly right hahahah

[@daltonfrankton2687]

What a great documentation of what it means to be a first accentionist. So much adventure and an awesome story. So often the send is the focal point of a climbing film but it’s the life changing experience that can be foreshadowed. Thank you Jenny, Kat, and the AAC for the inspiring video and a reminder to chase what challenges us.

[@AmericanAlpineClub]

Thanks, Dalton!

[@CourtneyWarren]

Absolutely great film! Loved getting to see two women adventuring, putting up climbs, and have fun along the way. This put a smile on my face from beginning to end! thank you

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

I am 37 years deep in the FA (first ascent) biz and this is one of my new all-time fave films. So much "character-building" lol.

[@TAOspeedwagon]

Ding Dong is hands down the coolest crag dog ever.

[@WilliamWoodward]

that's 100% accurate!

[@treopolis13]

I like the name Dingus better ;P

[@drphilmcflaggin1526]

They could make a Doco on the antics of Ding Dong alone^_^

[@ChrisSchaecher]

This is great!!! Thank you for sharing it!

[@bakerg_]

My mom asked me to turn down the volume of "those girls you like to see screaming in your computer". Jesus Mom, they are just climbing!!!!

[@bassmunk]

Hahaha I can only imagine

[@DavidGoodeMedia]

Screaming. Groaning. Flailing. "You OK up there?"

[@axes48]

sickest climbing vid i have ever seen

[@YL_AmericadoSul]

I was hoping they would stay for the flood but a quick loot at the time on the video was enough to kill my expectations...

[@HerrFinsternis]

What a beautiful place, awesome project. Did you ever work on it again?

[@marinakyriacou6525]

That was awesome! Off widths look insane! Give me tiny crimpas any day lol

[@MJJodoin]

way to go ladies

[@marinajauregui6821]

This video was awesome!!! Great job in making it! but did the ladies go back and get the first ascent?

[@AmericanAlpineClub]

Thanks Em, not yet but Jenny has her ticket!

[@boolve]

so do you got there for the second attempt? where is the video? please.

[@argentinaesdelosargentinos1209]

buena chicassss alto viaje

[@schonberuemt]

Hi, Loved your Video! I wanted to ask which font there is at 0.40 of the video? Would be cool to know cause I love the font.

[@johntuttle9544]

Its all about process, not the sends in life. :)

[@begood257]

Can you put the full names of the climbers in the video description?

[@peachstorm8384]

What was the bar you were eating that you said the flavour was good??

[@dianahsieh]

Is there an update? Did they get it?

[@berniedevine88]

Lots of li ming towns in china. Can you please tell me Which provence is this in?

[@ktearley]

Yunnan, laojunshan national park

[@DornWrites]

Awesome video. Thanks for the expletives warning, I will not be watching this with my 5 year old :)

[@yeskiii]

soooo, are they going back?

[@thomasmayell4516]

Passes the Bechdel test (and is epic)!

[@thebommelbommel]

the video is great :D but why the bolts? :o

[@oleximpact408]

The landscape looks a lot like Zion National Park

[@ironfistarrival]

In these Mission Suicides ! it is better to Double your Ropes and have over supply of Bolts to triple the Number of Bolts into the Rocks to prevent a sudden fall and causing your weights to pull down the Bolts [ Anchors ] from the Rocks ....

[@More-than-ladyboys]

Like, yah, that's like, wow, super wow, yah? Awesome! 🤢

[@cedar_glade5081]

shit this video is gnarly

[@TheCwpan]

I played this on speakers,all that moaning and groaning tho jesus lol

[@GarrettChance]

Mr Welsh Gaming I’m listen on Bluetooth speaker in the bathroom

[@mikeorr6285]

Could you post information on conservation status of the spider, as well as the other insects, plants etc that existed in the crack? Is it possible that the climate emergency, coronavirus pandemic and whatever is to come next, will make us think holistically about what a first ascent means? Sometimes it will be fine to do one, sometimes not - but as with many other endeavours, don't we need to be explicit about the code of ethics we are following?

[@Faoro89]

10:30 if you listen the audio without watching the video it seems a porn movie.

[@ForrestJed]

Looking like an unlocked biner at @7:12 ;)

[@jennypie116]

Not unlocked, its upside down, you're seeing the bottom of the gate.

[@reedmelicher8658]

Over use of the term send it

[@rickytrockclimbing2935]

6:18 ...... Lucky iPhone 😒

[@rickytrockclimbing2935]

XD female climbers swear more than male climbers , but at least they still say please

[@Chris1988Cruz]

damn they both super cute

[@TR-nw8hz]

Stop saying like

[@carlswenson5403]

babe fest ... babia majora and baberham lincoln

[@travelersworldcafellc7036]

Hang that huge rack off a tag line and dont do the crux with a 10 lb cam on your shoulder I like a long sling to my back gear loop and then all that shit you are climbing with isnt in the way besides big tri cams hexes and big bros are much lighter and often better

[@davemeyer4620]

Quite a waste of a live your dream grant. A half-assed attempt at a mungy OW that has yet to see an FA. Bummer man. Nice editing and camera work though.

[@AmericanAlpineClub]

Our Live Your Dream grant isn't about first ascents. This grant is all about challenging yourself and personal progression.

[@steveeb9567]

Unappealing lines, live and learn...

[@againstthemodernworld3253]

HORRIBLE vocal fry narration... I had to stop watching at :56

[@jengray5034]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Nothing peaceful about moaning and yelling... I couldn't watch either.
