Patxi Usobiaga - PACHAMAMA (9a+/b)

Patxi Usobiaga takes us through the process of what it was like to climb a route he had attempted 8 years ago in Oliana, Spain when he felt he was at his peak. That was before his life changed and climbing took a backseat. In 2016 and 2017 Patxi returned to climbing 9th grade routes and on November 10th, 2017 he sent Pachamama, a route that marked a before and after for him as a climber. He had left it undone 8 years before when he first tried it, but he was finally in shape and motivated enough to return, work on this project, and eventually send what has been his hardest route to date. Puc Series presents this video alongside Patxi's sponsors: Black Diamond, La Sportiva, Vertical Life Climbing App, and Tendon ropes. Read all the details about the line here:

'ok patch, can we get the scream one more time now?'

[@patxiusobiagapucseriestrai661]

haha! The scream during the title at the beginning was actually from the audio of the day of the send. Fortunately I didn't have to repeat it - it was a raw moment.

[@jonathancraik204]

No doubt! what a send!

[@andersonboy620]

Hahahaha!! Absolutely!

How on earth does Honnold easily just free solo this first try?

[@ragingbill]

He doesn't. Honnold has never climbed anything this hard, even on a rope.

[@guttensomforsvant]

Hannold flash free soloed Silence 9c so I guess this is easy for him

[@JoseFlores-hi1cf]

Herman Fleischer that is simply NOT TRUE. Honnold never climbed Silence as it is way out of his level. What you just said is plainly stupid

[@JoseFlores-hi1cf]

@Ariolimax C. And Hollywood is a history master class. Please stop embarrasing yourself. I was going to be offensive like yourself but not worthy...

[@eddyramirez3662]

[@oliviabaklaton4552]

He has not enough selfcontrol. He curses when he falls. To scream at the key passages is o.k.. It may mobilise an extra 10 percent of power but to curse is a sign of bad charackter. Usually these people are not easy going ones. F.e. the real champions like Chris Sharma(same Route watch at 1:40 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmnMkpecZc6tmbM , at 7:00 he falls ), David Lava, Adam Ondra, Sasha DiGiulan, Ashima Shiraishi, Alex Puccio, Catherine Destivelle etc. never curse. When they scream they sream in a very sympathetic way.

[@patxiusobiagapucseriestrai661]

The film maker for this and I always prefer to show the raw process, who I really am and what really happens on the route - both in the good attempts and the bad. Most climbers have a few choice words to say when falling off at a critical point on a route. Whether or not that language actually makes it into their send video, though, is another thing. I apologize if something I said in a moment of frustration offended you.

[@guillem3222]

lol don’t even compare Patxi with climbers like Sasha Digiulian.. you have no clue
