Laid to Rest (5.13b) - First Ascent

Adrian laying to rest the long-standing project of extending Old School Executioner (5.12c) on the Tombstone out in Cochise Stronghold.
-------
Releasin' footage from January 2021:
A beautiful 40 meter wall, a snow storm, some very good friends & a hot rock in the chalk bag to keep the hands warm; here's a look into what those January days were like.
-------
10 years ago, Geir Hundal lead this climb over 3 days freeing what he could, and aiding the rest. He drilled 3 bolts hanging from hooks on the nearly blank face above the crack.
After working on it a bit he and Eric Rhicard, two of Southern Arizona’s most prominent guidebook authors, decided to place anchors at 100 feet where the first bolt was originally placed. They felt the crack alone would make a phenomenal trad route at the grade and later dubbed this Old School Executioner (5.12c). After freeing the crack, the remaining face climbing above was declared an open project, and the full 40 meter line to the summit remained unrealized for nearly a decade
To paraphrase Eric, “the climbing between the Old School anchors and the arete is a lot harder and will make a great extension when someone decides to put the effort into climbing it."

Holy shit that thing is mega. That's a lot of rock climbing. Great vibes too.

[@trippcollins6118]

Incredible drone shots and cinematography. Loved the mix of "freezing my tips off", the send and the story of what it took to get there. Enjoy your youth....it's so fleeting. At 63, watching the climbing at this level vicariously is the best I can do when it comes to this grade. What drone did you use?

[@holdenfox983]

Another rad one. How am I supposed to get any work done when you keep releasing these in the middle of the work day???

[@claykelty332]

Absolutely mental Adrian! Congrats, and great job with the editing. Jimbo Films has come a long way!

[@meghanryterski2538]

I laughed and got chills and then couldn’t stop cheering at the end great job jimbo :)

[@adrianmontano]

Couldn’t even clip the piece placed at 2:10 ... what a chuffer

[@jayschoenherr9911]

looks hard for 13b! solid

[@alanzhan4436]

this line is insane

[@Alan-gi2ku]

Badass

[@MrPickleButter]

Looks unbelievably good, thanks for putting in the work! Can't wait to try it!

[@edanner93]

Fantastic. Glad I found your channel.

[@iancameron6457]

Wow, awesome video, and what a world class line in such a special place 🤙

[@Candesce]

That traverse around the arete looks scary, I'm always terrified of cutting the rope on things like that. Thankfully it doesn't look too hard to get to the next bolt.

[@ras906]

Amazing work! This looked so awesome!

[@haxefede]

Jimbo yours are some of the best climbing videos I've seen, they feel relatable

[@heighRick]

GG! Thanks, helps a lot

[@Leander_]

Fantastic film, very nice send.

[@codyleehanson]

Favorite one yet. The late date headlamp send at they end got me good. I need to make it out there already

[@gregmedak4472]

[@06mulan06]

[@jakecroft3229]

Beautiful.

[@Cookie_Monster42]

is there an anchor at the top?

[@Leander_]

Wondering this as well...

[@enricociuppa7093]

if you see the last rusted bolt he is using are coming from another line down there

[@JimBoFilms]

Yes there's an anchor right above the chickenhead plates. Climbed past it to top out but then starts to walk back down to it to rap off.

[@Cookie_Monster42]

@@JimBoFilms It looked so runout!
