Stefano Ghisolfi on Change 9b+

[@rickytrockclimbing2935]

😂 u got me good when u said “and it was in this moment that I fell”

[@stephenr80]

Totally. I also thought he was going to fell! xD

[@Jan-oh4fj]

I had a heart attack :O

[@Jagknorr]

I was like 😱 NO!

[@anthonykeyes783]

Imagine the hardest route ever bolted at your climbing gym... now imagine it being 10x harder... now imagine it being 5x the length... now imagine two V15 boulders in the middle of it... now imagine you have to drive 1,864 miles to attempt it... now imagine the sun is baking you and you're being filmed... that's this.

[@Strade8]

And some holds were wet apparently..

[@SpartaSpartan117]

Woah, are the two cruxes really V15???

[@vincentmaki3699]

@@SpartaSpartan117 No, Ondra seems to have described the first one as V14. Unsure of the second crux but I would guess it’s easier

[@laufsteakmodel]

as a boulderer I cannot even imaging how its even possible to have enough endurance to climb constantly for 20 minutes straight. let alone on a difficulty that is so much harder than what im capable of climbing, which already leaves me pumped after a single boulder in the gym that you climb for maybe a minute or so

[@matthewthompson6455]

wikipedia says the hardest boulders he has climbed was two 8b+, I think there's no way the cruxes are v15

[@matteomusso9351]

And after climbing for 40 minutes, bleeding and sweating, and sending one of the hardest routes on Earth, once he hit the ground, he realized he forgot to remove the quickdraws.

[@audiocratie]

hahahahha excellent :)

[@Thrusthamster]

Some poor dude has to climb Change on the back rope to get them

[@sorenlarssen27]

pretty sure he just set up a top rope for the cameraman to go up and clean the route. thats what all the pro's do i would know, im a pro top rope climber

...forever "Changed" your life. I see what you did there. Now it is time to "Silence" any remaining doubters.

[@adamborg1]

The fact that Stefano cuts loose where Adam fought like crazy doing contorsionist moves is absolutely crazy!

[@MS-fg8qo]

Yeah, now that's a nice Christmas gift for a change.

[@eloimauri6235]

This footage is a climbing masterpiece. Another 9B+ for Stefano!

[@jonatankeller4941]

The route is like twice longer then I thought... Respect Stefano...this was unbelievable.

[@louibyrne8189]

"and then I fell" My heart sank And then I got played 🤣

[@jedediahgold5610]

I was sceptical at first of watching this video simply due to its length - I can honestly say now after taking the time to watch that I was completely engaged for every minute. The film shows you every part of Stefano's fight against this monster line and the level of dedication and unadulterated willpower involved in a project like Change. You're the GOAT man, don't go changing!

[@M0dElite]

The climb, the commentary, the editing - incredible stuff! That was well worth the waiting. Thank you for this post-christmas gift, Stefano!

[@maciejantoniak2380]

I'm just a casual climber for a year now, watching classic climbing content and I've never felt such a need to write a comment. This movie is just amazing, breathtaking! Love your climbing and editing style, and the "I fell joke" was SO DAMN GOOD MAN. Cheers!

[@kraxlpius1731]

i think. that this was the most beatiful climb, i have ever seen.

[@lauramarkovic5307]

yeah, my thought exactly! the word is "beautiful"!

[@nitzanetrogi8362]

This was just beautiful, amazing achievement Stefano, way beyond comprehension for most of us. And thanks to Adam as well for bolting this masterpiece.

[@jonathanw6884]

One of the best climbing videos of 2020, amazing performance and cinematography! Can't imagine the amount of pain, discomfort and pump that route must have generated. Also I've never had this amount of hand sweat from any other climbing video.

[@MeeloOrg]

I came here thinking I'd skim through the video, after all, I've seen Ondra do this before. Ended up watching every second of it. This was very well made and the calm commentary was really satisfying to hear. Thank you for doing this and bravo on the sick send!

[@mikevdwerf]

can’t wait you go for the other route there put be “silence” about this for now !

[@daas3465]

So excited for this finale. Amazing job on the second ascent Stefano. It's really awesome to see these details about the route, this whole series was very well done

[@ralfries9155]

You are so beautiful honest and talking also about those worries going through your head while climbing. Thank you for sharing all those moments and emotions.

[@whelmking6497]

So epic, so humble. Truly exceptional. And it almost seems like the foot blowing at 14:38 was intentional for dramatic purposes. Too good!!

[@hansfrost-schimpf2110]

What a great achievement! Congratulations!! And thank you for giving us such detailed insights in the journey. I really enjoyed it.

[@GorhamP]

Jeeeeez This is by far the most insane route I've ever seen, even more impressive than Silence imo, at least from the sheer length of it. The endurance and power required for this are just beyond human...I'm worn out by just watching this video. Out of this world, Stefano! Congrats!!!

[@hkm2023]

Everytime you said: "This was the moment I was worried about.." and then you did the move I was Like "yeeaah man!" - then you said: "but actually there still was this next Part to come.." Holy Cow that is an awesome route

[@Schyluer]

This deserves a million views.

[@pabletedona]

This route is def one of the most hardest routes ever climbed, you are one of the few climber so well trained and prepared who can only do it and your resistance and performance are just outstanding and overwhelming to compare with, Stephano. My most sincere congratulations and believe you will climb "Silence" and become the second around the world to do it. Very well done! ❤️

[@chads6129]

What an absolute beast of a route. Bravo Stefano!

[@aidanloeser4890]

You're a wonderful storyteller, Stefano! Congrats on the send -- I was so invested from your previous videos.

[@FB-xv3bo]

Man, I very rarely leave any comment on KZbin, but I had to make an exception for this one. I've been warching many climbing videos and this is one of the best. I already found this route was appallingly hard when Adam sent it, but this looked even more terrible. You made my knuckles ache ;-) .And you did it in such a humble way, hats off!
