Mirror Wall

Mirror Wall documents the latest expedition from world class climber Leo Houlding and his team as they take on the imposing Mirror Wall, a 1200m vertical tower in the polar mountains of Greenland.
---------------------------------
The need for adventure resides deep in all of us.
In the case of renowned adventurer Leo Houlding, this has manifested itself in the form of world class expeditions to unclimbed peaks the world over.
‘Mirror Wall’, the debut feature film from Coldhouse Collective, follows Leo approaching his latest expedition with a reconsidered mentality and attitude.
Following the death of his close friend Sean ‘Stanley’ Leary and trying to balance potentially dangerous situations with the responsibilities of parenthood - Leo is left leading a team of determined, talented but ultimately inexperienced young guns up one of the tallest big walls in the world.

Incredible. Felt a bit wrong that it's free to watch. Lol. Top banana.

[@rushthezeppelin]

Seriously the production value on this is TOP NOTCH!

[@NHPork]

The detail shots at the darker moments of the film are brilliant. Not only in terms of aesthetics but the sheer will to keep shooting and not get bogged down by the heaviness of the burden of life on the wall--it's beyond impressive. Great, great work.

[@MattPycroft]

I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply, but thank you very much for such a kind comment. It was real feat of endurance shooting the film and the stills solo, but was made possible by being surrounded by an amazing team who were as committed to making the film as they were to getting to the top of the mountain. It's a real example of the team being greater than the sum of it's parts, and it was a real privilege to be a part of such an amazing expedition.

[@Shill_assassin]

it seems to happen with younger athletes like college because theyr'e still fighting for top rankings in the sport

[@b.w.22]

Haha, what! I love the comment after summiting about “I don’t think we were too risky...” and the next shot is a jump over a gap! I like to think that was for effect and wasn’t right at the edge of the face, but I’m not sure. That moment spooked me maybe more than the rock busting the bag - a foot higher it’d been a face busted. Respect to you guys, especially the less experienced ones to take it to a new route, way exposed, weeks in the true wilderness. Kinda wonder what the ethics are of a drone to scout a route, perhaps showing that “crack” to be what it was?

[@Rohaan]

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! honestly wow. Just watched this over my breakfast and ive never been so motivated to start a day. Congrats to everyone who was involved in this amazing story.

[@aeon-adv]

Great adventure, as climbing should always be! Congrats to the team, climbers and filmmakers.

[@darrennorman4795]

Great film , shame Leo seemed to be back at home instead of passing on the huge joy of the freedom climbing gives us in the best and worst of places on a big wall , good on the rest of you for seeming to put up with him , be good to see Leo smile again in future. But that's just my point of view after watching the most depressing film in some time . Good of you all for the effort put in as non big wall climbers , don't be put off it can be fun.

[@billieprescott1]

22:23 That was an exposed move...awesome! 33:14 let's not talk about the flower and talk about that hammered rope sheath.

[@bcmaughan]

What an incredible existentially beautiful film....

[@MattPycroft]

Thanks Ben :)

[@maverickthebastard]

Gobsmackingly brilliant, enjoyed this immensely, nice to see Leo has matured into a fine gentleman. Thank you for the upload.

[@LukeFrisken]

28:20 onwards, what a fantastic edit with the music, really felt that!! Loved it.

[@jakemattix366]

anyone know the song playing over this part?

[@bradhollmann5316]

Jake Mattix I was going to ask the same thing

[@Jb-mh4tu]

I think it's "the thief" by the beach:)

[@dmcrun93]

36.10........that jump..................

[@canohkush]

How do you only have 5.4k subs. This film is absolutely unreal. Never want to do this, EVER. But god $%^^ do I love watching you guys do it. Stay safe and keep making these videos!

[@D_Trade]

The trust climbers have in their equipment and anchors always amazes me. Not saying that it's wrong, but I just cant see myself having the confidence that the anchors will hold. Guess that's why I'm not a climber lol. Great video, you guys are awesome

[@stilettosqueak]

Really surprised this has not been in the major traveling film festivals, like Reel Rock. Mountain Film or Banff. Excellent production :) Thank you

[@MrMUHKY]

3 years later. Still one of my favorites.

[@andydodd5295]

Awesome. Great adventure and some amazing shots. Good piece to learn from for making my own films.

[@UpperVIP]

Matt Pycroft, you are a trooper. Not only for climbing the Mirror but for taking the responsibility of filming it all on board at the same time. Big respect to you and wish you more adventures. Any time you need a co-cam, let me know.

[@MattPycroft]

Ha ha, thanks Ed! It was a fun mission.

[@clotgobantes]

[@AndreiPetre]

It was awesome to see, really inspiring! I hope I can do a big wall in 10y from now -- thanks guys and be safe!

[@channelkerr]

[@jaffaa23]

[@antonhandl6742]

[@awkward_canuck]

Talking about being reckless while the scene is a 35x35 foot runout on the final pitch?

[@katatat2030]

If the lead of a climbing movie doesn't say "why are we here" at one point, is it even a climbing movie?

[@CarpeDiemMDItv]

Amazing! Chapeau!

[@MultiPaldo]

What camera and lens U used? Ho film?

[@SiZzLinCocO]

Beautiful Videography! and what an amazing story for such a short movie :D Anyone know where i can find the soundtrack or the music list from this movie?

[@podiumz1993]

@24:14 He seems to be using the ATC upside down? Is there a reason or is that an error?

[@lisalohrent1569]

They seem sooo high... No pun intended. Makes you wonder what you miss out on.

[@M4tt1mus]

[@taylorhill8001]

RIP Sean Leary, Legendary Alpinist!

[@irakperez]

[@pericuno]

21:30 to 23:10 awesome climbing moments

[@williamlinnehan6894]

Any way we can get a list of songs on the sound track?

[@MattPycroft]

[@emilyg48]

awesome

[@happymaskedguy1943]

I found this incredibly depressing. Seems like Leo lost all his enthusiasm for such trips after Stanley’s death. Without the old crew-Al Lee’s fun approach to storytelling, Jason Pickles sense of humour, Stanley’s good natured hype- it just isn’t the same. I felt really sorry for Leo. I just got the feeling that he didn’t want to be there. He looked really uncomfortable and lonely. It truly is the end of an era.

[@Stolo17]

Geez, Sadistik in the intro? Knew would be good video.

[@skippygiraffe6022]

yes

[@nicklozica8914]

What did it go at

[@carlcook6615]

Very enjoyable
