In Sequence: Katie Lamb and the Craft of Hard Bouldering | Patagonia Films

[@EricKarlsson]

Thank you so much to everyone involved for creating this amazing film! The high amount of skill and dedication shines through every frame of the film. I'm looking forward to more productions from this team.

[@patagonia]

Much love Eric! 🫶

“You have to be also interested in the learning part, it’s too much work to do it only for the product.” This rings true to so many of life’s aspects.

[@patagonia]

A growth mindset transcends more than just climbing and sewing. It's a way of life 🌱

[@takumicrombie8636]

“Katie has that quiet crusher demeanor that’s just like, in the background pushing the sport forward” Beth Rodden. What an epic statement from a legend

[@benjaminloke4929]

Such an amazing film. Katie soloing the V11 stand of Box Therapy with no pads after doing the sit sequence is insane. One of the most composed ascents I've ever seen

[@alexjordan1644]

The ending says it all. Actions speak louder than the talkers. What an inspirational woman Katie is for all the girls out there. Mom and dad can be very proud :)

[@finnwithanf]

So much care went into filming this - so happy to see such a diligent film about such a diligent athlete! Projecting in climbing feels so connected to filming and I'm happy to see it explored visually!

[@tobyglick96]

This made me cry twice. And call my mom. Thank you for composing such a beautiful piece of work and Katie for being so perseveringly herself. I can’t overstate enough how phenomenal this was and the power in the message here. Thank you.

[@orbelinportillo7908]

i used to climb at the gym where Katie climbs, I remember her cheering me on in a dyno V7 move. I was too shy to approach her and felt like I was being acknowledge for something so small in comparison to her achievements, I was also on her team for a local comp. I feel enlightened to see her outlook on climbing and had I known her perspective then, maybe I would have tried to share a fist bumped with her. A kind, warm and diligent person, cheers to Katie Lamb!

[@patagonia]

Thanks for sharing this 🥹

[@joshcs1982]

More videos should be made of popular climbers in this style. Bravo Katie on your achievements. The world will always give adverse opinions..but that just means you are something special and enough people have taken notice. 👏Beautiful piece of work this film.

[@taylorbennie-faull184]

Out of all the performance, goal related climbing films this one really sticks out to me. The stories pace and the sincerity make it incredibly engaging. Really considered editing and top notch filming! It also really paints the picture of how down to earth Katie is. Bravo!

[@dreamland923]

Man what a swell video! Katie deserves all the happiness and satisfaction from climbing that everyone else gets regardless of what kind of attention she gets. Very inspiring to see her humility about it all too, climbing, environmentalism, sewing and everything else and in between!

[@patagonia]

Truly. She is one of the most humble crushers around, but more than that, an amazing human. We're so proud to have her on our team!

[@hhaynes11]

I witnessed Katie climbing as a youngster…yes quiet and fierce. Also, a lovely set of parents who were often on the wall near her, also diligent and good natured. Her Mom was especially cheerful and kind while working to learn and improve every day, right in view of both of her children. Such admiration and congratulations to the family for Katie’s excellence.

[@dqle189]

one of the best climbing films I've seen. purposeful, coherent, and not self-indulgent.

[@FreshBoulders]

This film is perfect…that was a crazy experience watching. Not just amongst climbing films, this is just so top tier amongst any film that’s come out these past years. Huge congrats to Katie and honestly this is the type of story I personally needed. Thank you so much for making this

[@nimaazbijari665]

The best climbing film I have seen this year. Inspiring.

[@wbarker3]

What a magnificent film! We’ve been blessed to be friends with the Lambs for years and got to see Katie progress from a little kid in the gym to the world-class crusher she is now. This captures how she and all her family personify what’s wonderful about the climbing community - so brilliant, talented and focused and at the same time so warm, humble and fun.

[@melissarobinson8638]

Thank you for telling Katie’s story. Beautiful video and audio, a joy to watch.

[@erialos3357]

Katie's my hero! Best climbing film I've ever watched

[@samjenkins9567]

The end sequence and music of this was ICONIC

[@kevind.3389]

One of the most beautiful climbing flicks I have seen all year. Thanks so much

[@alixmorris5953]

Big shout out to Eric Bissell. Keep going. We love your vision, art, work.

[@fredericblancher7379]

i dont know how long it took to come up with the moves brekdown sequence on Spectre, between 7'15 to 8', but that's a real masterpiece! All together image motions, camera angles, soundtrack and dialogues perfectly resonnate with my own experience on some other swings. Watching the latter Spectre ascent reflects so well the description. This movie's quality perfectly serves Kathy's mastery in mixing hard commitment and pure climbing beauty. Thanks for the incredible inspiration! 🎉😊

[@fredericblancher7379]

Katie ...

[@gianluca.le94]

Amazing Film! Doesn't matter the Grade! Look at the Send! Goosebumps! So cool. So many great Messages in this film!

[@muscularibuprofen69]

Really really good. It was about Katie, it was about climbing, it was about the process, it was personal and thoughtful. Excellent film.

[@mathieuallez4524]

More like Katie Goat! What an absolute legend. mesmerizing video, thank you for putting this one out, showing the experience, the drive, the passion, the boulders, the people, what climbing really is about. Her energy is contagious.

[@sonnietrotter1]

Beautiful film, I loved the pacing of this piece, and the sewing connection with family. Her commitment to the process is very inspiring.

[@danschmidt5189]

This was wildly inspiring and beautiful. Thank you so much to Katie, David, Eric, Keenan, and everyone else involved.

[@Kvathe]

Absolutely brilliant. This video is profound and humble and so much fun to watch. Katie is a treasure.

[@H____enry]

Beautiful climbing, beautiful film. Thank you!

[@guyredshaw1422]

VERY Inspirational! Thx!

[@alexandermartens7653]

Great film, good job Katie! This really captures what climbing means to some of us, even those who climb far lower grades with a passion..

[@dunavanjanzen-morris5245]

Such an incredible story, film, person... Katie a legend of our sport and culture

[@ryanm6869]

What an amazing film! Great job! I really like that part where the pads blow away in slo mo. Really shows the little funny struggles during the process 🤙

[@michaelazevedo845]

Awesome and inspirational!

[@ytmiller08]

Wow. amazing film and relevance to life in general … beyond any other climbing film I can remember seeing. Edits with Katie’s mom ❤️

[@andreseichmann5984]

So inspiring! Thanks Katie. U rock!

[@sethgilbertson2474]

Beautiful film. It shows how behind each rad send, there is a personality, a human. I think this film caught Katie’s personality in a lovely way.

[@lucasla5]

This was SO WELL MADE!!! thank you so much for sharing. absolutely stunning film...

[@GreeMoMee]

Best climbing video I've seen in a pretty long while.

[@ericachapin]

Epic! Thank you for showing the transcendent beauty of focus.

[@mattsparksy]

Grats to all involved, Dave Fitz gotta have the hardest edit to boulder difficulty ratio lmao

[@joshjang935]

truly capturing the essence i've been trying to put into words for so long! this is it!

[@walkerl7485]

amazing. thank you so much for this film.

[@willfraker4414]

Captured Katie's spirit with some stunning cinematography. Beautiful storytelling - I enjoyed the stillness. Congrats to the all-star crew

[@HolgerSorgatz]

What to say, this is a person with a shinning soul and inspire me. i watch this video and will thank you, with so much dedication what she do with all her heart and soul. It makes me cry in a very happy way... Thank you!

[@steveilg6134]

Loved it, thank u! so cool how she didn’t list the grades throughout the film - smirk to the haters!

[@androu127]

Phenomenal film. Inspiring climbing.

[@hyewonjeong55]

Thanks for this amazing cinematic video. Absolutely loving it 🥰 Katie, please continue your journey! You’re so amazing and very inspirational ✊🏻✊🏻

[@SamuelPerryFalvey]

So sick 🔥

[@BoulderBeingsDarjeeling]

I really love how this movies/video shows the process behind the bigger picture that is put in front of you. The process behind the send. Love everything about this one. So powerful, so Inspiring and motivating 💪💪💪

[@matthias7718]

Such a powerful peace of climbing history! And it's so good to see this beautiful production with a female athlete. Really inspiring to watch and I really don't get why people think they have judge anything from a far... looking forward to see more climbing of whatever grade and of the sowing as well xD

[@adamkirosingh]

Mersmerizing film! Thanks for letting follow along this journey!

[@rockyboimedia]

So inspiring! Truly someone who climbs just for the love of the sport.

[@sammoore2085]

Great film Katie & Co, V15 or 16, still an amazing achievement!

[@ClayKicker]

This is beautiful such a really cool and honest vibe through out. Thank you I really enjoyed it

[@BackcountryExposure]

So so good! Climbing films have sure come a long way since Rampage and Yank On This… beautifully done! ❤

[@CrispyClouds]

Great film. Inspiring as always, Katie & Keenan 🙌

[@saxongoold7832]

Total Katie lamb fanboy! What a stylish crusher!

[@marcoscalderon7979]

This is incredible work and so inspiring. Wow.

[@pzafri3s988]

Such a great film 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽

[@sigga3876]

What a nice, thoughtful video, well done all!

[@christovalkov3931]

As much as I feel bad for Katie having to go through the online scrutiny regarding the V16-15 fiasco, it seemed to have triggered a shift within climbing culture. Media and content now seems to emphasize and celebrate specific climbs and their experience much more, rather than the subjective grade achievement some people like to attach. And I think that is a good thing. Katie is the first woman to climb "Box Therapy" amongst many other incredible climbs. And no one can dispute that

[@m.wunderlich4942]

Wow. Just wow. Thank you for this masterpiece.

[@Bl00dyto]

Excelente! A mitad del documental me hicieron poner de mal humor por no poner el primer ascenso de box therapy y al final me sacaron una sonrisa. Excelente realizacion.

[@ericlin158]

Amazing film. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Neal-b4r]

Thank you for inspiring me today!❤

[@d77tutt]

Online tough people are ridiculously jealous. The economy people are the downfall of this magnificent sport. It takes focus, dedication, effort, drive, and just pure enjoyment of climbing for yourself. It's not about showmanship. It's about what feats you want for yourself. So, for people to talk down to others is a reflection of themselves. They need to just move on and worry about themselves. Great job Katie.

[@AdHdEntertainmentLLC]

I'm perplexed that the climbing community would just simply downgrade a boulder simply because 6 people in 6 years of the existence of this problem have ascended it. Disrespectful. I do see problems get changed all the time but in no way should this lower the accomplishment.

[@cojabr]

She's awesome.

[@J0SHU4N0LL]

Incredible storytelling!

[@amnaK94]

Katie you're an inspiration!! side note ; I wanna work and trad climb full time!! Hire this Engineer :)

[@ejl74]

Dope!

[@MichaelDruce-e9m]

wow! great doc. Her 3-finger drag is NUTS.

[@mikej243]

You are an inspiration Katie, thank you for pushing the limits of our sport!

[@kreparAZ]

this was absolutely excellent!!!!

[@davidlight3546]

Beautiful film, congrats Katie

[@JustinRoth]

Legendary. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Katie! Also how can I get some of that Yo Mama Made This clothing??

[@evanmendes1835]

WOW!! Loved it! Great storytelling and beautifully put together!! Can we get a Yo Mama spin off?? I´d watch easily someone dropping wisdom bombs and good vibes like that for hours!!

[@ryanmcdermott657]

Really wonderful film! But we are confused: what's with the cuts in the footage of Box Therapy starting at 13:27? And then we see the full send at the end. Looks like the same session, since she's wearing the same clothes. But different attempt. Is the earlier cut version meant to dramatize the way the response to her send, after the Raboutou kids downgraded it, seemed to delegitimize the achievement of being the first woman to climb V16? Or are we just missing something obvious??

[@ozamram]

Really great film. Katie is a badass, hope she keeps crushing

[@watts391]

Yaaaaa Katie! From Alexie to nowwww!!! 🎉 Watts clan on your team! ❤

[@willakerlund4191]
