Among the highlights of the film, watch Dani Andrada's first ascent of the extremely difficult 7-pitch Corazon de Ensueno (8c/5.14b), a route he put up in 2010 over the course of two trips to the area to prepare for the RocTrip. For this outstanding feat, Dani was awarded Climbing Magazine's prestigious Golden Piton.
Other sequences include Steph Bodet and Arnaud Petit sending their project, Lost in Translation (8a+/5.13c), Gabriele Moroni's first ascent of Coup de Bambou (9a/5.14d), as well as other images of spectacular climbs up and down the valley.

This is how an original soundtrack and it's complementation into a movie should be done. This whole video is just amazing on so many levels.

[@alessandropintus]

This video is so good I keep coming back every couple of months, just to watch it.

[@emzi44]

This is definitely one of my favorite video ever

[@theartist6131]

Because you love corona?

[@CyberCrowBR]

And I'm here again !

[@andreasbodenmuller2118]

Same here - since years!

[@blue0622]

Whoever the editors were, all I have to say is 👌

[@dkennell998]

Jesus, this makes me want to become a filmmaker. What an awesome blend of great climbing footage, beautiful scenery, amazing people, cool effects and killer music. You get all the thumbs up. All of them.

[@hamdihum3506]

2019 and still watching this, it's always makes me smile! Make another roctrip please! I beg.. 😁🤙

[@mer1111lleida]

hamdi hum me too. I added it in my favs in 2011 and today I am watching it again

[@seetheflow]

God what a film. 11 years later and I haven't seen anything else match it as far as music and soundtrack goes.

[@mer1111lleida]

Same for me

[@mrShrimp1253]

Its amazing that a sport like climbing can bring people from all over the world together in such a cooperative way! I definitely want to go to one of these, some day.

[@Kaygu_]

Even 12 years later the editing is still really really good. Love the soundtrack

[@laure189]

Still one of my favorite climbing video out there. What a wonderful editing job!

What a sense of time and beauty, it's a visual song. The best climbing short film I've ever seen (and I've seen almost every one available). Respect to all the people involved on it. Really talented director, editor, musician. Can't wait to see more of your work.

[@sayerb123]

Wow. This is the best video I have seen in a looong time... And not even just in the rock climbing genre. The editing is as beautiful as the climbing.

[@rodriguezahr]

this is not a Movie, this is a Symphony.

[@mer1111lleida]

I saw this vídeo for the first time in 2012. I use to look It again every few months. It is a really good vídeo.

[@mer1111lleida]

*watch it

[@briansmobile1]

It's really fun and exciting to see international gatherings of diverse passionate people where they befriend each other instead of killing each other.

[@aminrashidi4623]

2020 still watching this. Damn good

[@benniemeetsworld]

2023 and it still beats all other climbing videos.

[@NathanDaldry]

Have only just watched this film for the first time. Really like how whoever has directed it has made the music feature in the narrative of the video, whilst, of course, being blended with culturally Chinese tones. Great to see so many people from all over the world quite literally grooving to the same rhythm!

[@MrFancyFingers]

I just realized that I've been smiling the whole video, I want to go!

[@johnhutchi1]

I saw this at the Banf film festival like 11 years ago and was blown away. It still strikes a chord inside me.

[@PeterPan-sj1qc]

I bought the Sountrack, it is the most amazing sports video soundtrack EVER! Kudos!

[@Ms88me88]

Awesome music!!! I love it!!!

[@redwanmeslem8247]

Vladimir Cellier - RocTrip China OST

[@Phiichan]

this is some brilliant film making right there. I'm not into climbing at all, it's not a topic I'd normally watch a 23 minute clip of without getting bored - but this is so enthralling, so brilliantly made that it didn't occur to me for even a second to stop watching. it's simply one of the most beautifully and ingeniously edited shorts I have ever seen. and this is coming from someone who studies animation an watches tons of so called creative shorts every day.

[@LeftOfToday]

This is so good. It feels like you had a vision of the complete film, and you went out to get footage of that, whereas so many films feel like the final vision comes from the footage first. I'm sure there's a more poetic way to say that, but it's just to say this was awesome! And I'm not even a climber =]

[@matt_mess]

Almost 2019 and still the best music video ever made.

[@laure189]

This is, from far, one of the best climbing movies I have ever seen!!! Absolutely AMAZING!!!

[@OniSendai]

superb editing and cinematography! big ups!

[@AlaskaB83]

This is a great climbing video, but I have to say that first 2:30 are just dazzling. Amazing editing!

[@pitot1988]

I bet that man has done couple first ascents himself, in the music world ;)

[@purplepatchvideo]

I've played this video so many times and shared it loads. Absolutely love the sampling of sound effects and interviews you've included in the music tracks. genius and cutting edge stuff guys - documentary crossed with film with music videos - great fun

[@andrewsmmm]

Of all the Petzl Roc Trips, this is the best so far. Beautiful work. Kudos to the Petzl team. Also, thanks for a great line of products.

[@Boy5638]

The best and fun climbing video already produced!

[@mckayharding8312]

I saw this at the Banff Film Fest Tour as a kid and it stuck with me. Inspired me to start climbing.

[@PetzlSportVideos]

Thank you so much for your message ;)

[@MiroslavBrabenec]

One of the greatest climbing video ever!!! Wonderful music, best climbers, real energy...

[@nenntmichmclovin9517]

Guillaume Broust is a Master. Have a look at his other movies, for example the Frequent Flyers Paragliding series or Chris Sharma Back in Céüse.

[@jakethehuman3126]

i love everything about this video! the climbing, the beautiful landscape, the people, the music, the editing... just great!

[@milanvojinovic1]

ok this is probably one of the best films about nature in China, great editing, music and directing... wait why did i come here? :)))

[@vfxluc]

pure motivation! how can you not love the Petzl Team for all their amazing trips and people around them?! great energy, happy people!

[@bewegtebilderAT]

Ganz großes Kino! Ton, Schnitt, Dramaturgie .... eine Wohltat für Augen und Ohren. Diese knapp 24 Minuten haben echt Spass gemacht!

[@e1337air]

what a beautifully made climbing movie this is! the editing is just spot on and also the music is so well placed and adds to the athmosphere perfectly. great job guys and thanks for putting this up on youtube for free in HD!

[@walidaichi2927]

nature, sport, music, fun, different nationalities, and above all a very beautiful rural China... and the chinese singer has a terrific voice . everything is wonderful in this video ...and yet some people chose the "dislike" button ??????

[@tramanand]

Such an enjoyable video...also made all the insane climbing look unbelievably fun ...wondeful ppl...amazing video, sound, topnotch editing and shooting

[@rrk4095]

C’est vraiment cool ce clip , regardé pour la première fois en 2012 et là en 2020 ça me plaît toujours, aesthetically and musically.

[@elliott2428]

What a great film, captures the real climbing essence, which at the end of the day is just having fun!

[@tmanwu5628]

truly amazing. Sweet editing! Just love the work you guys put into the video! Great job!

[@joefarang]

what a great vid! great location, great climbers and superb music!

[@samhiatt]

I think this is the best climbing video I've ever seen. Seriously. I totally dig how it starts out with those drums, and then the cars and everything moving to the beat. Great interviews, excellent shots of incredible landscapes and rocks, clips of my favorite pro climber, freaking amazing cinematography, fantastic music and rhythms - I had to get out my drum box to play along as I watched it. Five stars. Hands down. Thanks Petzl. I think I'll go buy a Grigri 2 to show my gratitude. ;)

[@pyfooty]

Sick video. Love the music, probably because I'm an EDM / basshead. Editing to music and otherwise is spot on. Interview spots are great, really helps tell their story. Shots are absolutely breathtaking. Found on StumbleUpon Video!

[@TrevorLeyenhorst]

I love seeing such attention to detail in the editing. So refreshing to find this quality online! Nice work

[@emilioenigma]

the best integration audio in a video i never seen!! congratulations guys for this BRILLIANT video & video editing and of course music edition!

[@pavelrinn5714]

The best Petzl RocTrip video... Definitly :-D. Good job...

[@infiniteflames5279]

Whoever made the music did a great job

[@rulovi]

Superb. The best 23 minutes in youtube I've ever had.

[@Adsjabo]

This has got to be one of the best sponsored films I've seen across all the varieties of sports I follow. Amazing scenery, wicked soundtrack and brilliantly edited. Well done Petzl! And what an astounding place to climb at! :D

[@FenrisArson]

came here because of the climbing, but was amazed by filming and editing. Just great!

[@danni12695]

Who are these six people that could possibly dislike this it is fantastic and so well made. As rulovi said the best 23 minutes in youtube ive ever had.

[@malsponger]

The editor that does these has got skills and a real awesome style.

[@SnowRaven1]

Saw this last night at the Banff Film Fest. Phenomenal. TNF sponsored films look like longer, drawn out ads for their gear. Aside from the "Petzl Rocks" comments by the locals, you have to look hard and know what you to look for before you could tell what gear was what brand. So stoked to see this last night. Good work!

[@stevenhalliday7297]

The way you cut that Chinese dude with the drum off-that was his moment to shine you dreamcrusher.

[@andreyandonov1141]

Whoever did the editing is a MASTER of the game:)) This film is a game changer!!! BIG TIME:))

[@Cortyard92]

One of the best cut and made Videos i have ever seen! Just amazing

[@jonathanpope9626]

WOAH! That just rescued my day. Amazing music, editing, and of course climbing together. Thank you!

[@michaelbraendel]

Thank you for this fantastic synthesis of the arts. Great pictures, great music, great people.

[@Diego35]

This clip is just PERFECT. Music is perfect, climbs are incredible, that chinese culture is awesome... And the editing is really unbelievable. Like and it goes to favorites. Nice to see Petzl team again on a spectacular trip :D

[@berthajorkins]

So cool. Amazing editing and a really fun vibe. Wish I would have seen this before my China trip last summer.

[@EuVray]

I keep coming back and watching this once in a while. Can't wait for the next trip to Getu :D

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Thanks !

[@Boldheart662]

Awesome video! Its so cool seeing that entire valley come and support climbers from all over the world. I can't wait to see how that park develops over the coming years.

[@michalbroz3429]

Amazing rocks. Nice editing. Good job!

[@luno2709]

the best climbing video I have ever seen. fantastic work.

[@mikebackhaus3059]

I believe this to be the greatest video on all of KZbin.

[@RedDragon0719]

Fantastic video, i love how they sampled the climbers and incorporated it in the music

[@MiroslavBrabenec]

I have climbed on many places but never seen something like this. The song is great.

[@MrMarcusSabol]

climbing, nature and music all mixed by talented editors -perfect! :)

[@86Nookie]

Definitely the best video on youtube. Goosebumps.

[@aykempf]

Amazing video, the editing is sick. I really had a great time watching this film !

[@GuillaumeBroust]

Thanks !

[@StuffThatBurns]

[@SamuelFabrizio]

wow! such an amazing edition & music on this video.. Also the place and the people on it.. Amazing video. THANKS

[@hardymarci]

Oh boy! Excellent job! The best mix of image, music and story. You guys are just freaking masters. I enjoyed every moment of this video and I was particulary amazed by the way you synthesize music and image. The best multidisciplinary approach to filming I've ever seen. I'am particulary interested how you connected with the chaps you've interwied, and so on...too long for a comment. To cut it shor: Very well done! Thanks for your really inspiring work! peace.

[@toomzestr]

Epic filming, epic event! Thanks a lot, so motivating!

[@morgski]

I don't have enough superlatives to describe this film! Playlist is already downloaded, about to go climbing in the sunshine with it. Truly inspirational :D

[@melissawhite7322]

This makes me HAPPY & super psyched!

[@danni12695]

Well done Petzl team fantastic video and brilliant music well worth the wait. Keep up the good work. I think it will be hard to better that! Total respect to all involved

[@fengkunjustinchang8591]

What a wonderful editing

[@gillesdellicour]

The guy who did the soundtrack is a GENIUS !!!

[@TheUntam3d]

At first I was like "Yeah… I want to see climbing not a music video clip". But wow this was actually a super cool movie experience

[@forestofdeanboulderer]

Added this to my Saturday Night Climbing playlist :) Great video, really inspiring to climb.

[@primsi]

I am tempted to create multiple youtube accounts just to like this vid multiple times. State of the art climbing video!

[@twillyspree484]

This video is absolutely incredible!

[@TheKemics]

Superb film, super company. I've got to go on the 2012 trip, looks like the experience of a life time!

[@andersonboy620]

Awesome video, thanks Petzl!!!

[@stephankirsh8893]

Wow what a beautiful piece!

[@petenicksdicks]

Best video of all time!!!!!

[@dwarvenelite]

Chills. What an AMAZING video from A to Z. I just can't believe it.

[@gesoxxx]

The editing reminding me at the SILBERGEIER movie. Nice work and awesome place!

[@gesoxxx]

Ow I've just seen that both movies are made by Baraka Films. :D

[@stephenverchinski409]

missed this but was kept aprized of John Duran's work there for years. He has been climbing first ascents in China for years.

[@neklof321]

This soundtrack is sick..Can't wait for the download!

[@tysonburns3350]

This such an inspiring movie. I want to go on a Petzl Roc trip

[@mishels]

This is the best video I have ever seen.
