Move Hard 9b | Full Ascent with Commentary | Stefano Ghisolfi

[@sergiogonzalezcancela4802]

Classic 9b side project for training.

[@taitloyek7980]

Damn the fact that you not only climbed 9b but also did three outfit changes on the route is super impressive. Maybe you have a record for most outfit changes on a 9b now.

[@i-m_andre]

🤣 impressive

[@hellowordl9466]

I'm expecting that on the send of silence he will be fully nude by the end

[@tobiaswollmann6859]

Maybe they should rename move hard to change and vice versa :D

[@jeak]

Finally, now that Stefano is a KZbinr we can get that sweet Magnus collab we've all been waiting for!

Can confirm, I just subscribed to Stef today and managed to send the pink one in the corner.

Can confirm. Usually a v4 climber, hit that bell, tried a v6, flashed it np.

[@JMnyJohns]

Wow - 20 minutes on a route like that. Insane. Thanks Stefano for sharing this with us. :)

[@antonioj.1440]

I think it is probably like 30min or even more. Because two, rests and the rope change where speed up. So probably like 35 min So impressive!

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

This is perfect timing for my current project, which is similar in length, steepness and complexity, but much easier (mid-8 instead of mid-9). Pushing my body and mind to the limits at age 65, the hardest technical challenge of my long climbing career. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@pabletedona]

Now that sounds inpiring! I hope you'll get your project done :)

I can't believe it, yesterday I subscribed to this channel and liked this video. For some reason today I was climbing 2 grades above what I usually do. It's like magic...

[@johnmcmillen4540]

Great commentary in this super hard climb. Thanks a lot. After i liked this video, a miracle has happened: I was able to get up from my couch within 30 seconds, normaly i need a minute...

[@cellometal3]

That was amazing! Great job narrating the climbg

[@Masamaihari]

These videos are just so cool. The commentary was really good, thanks Stefano! ☺💫

[@el_mal_de_ojo]

This is an incredible recording of an absolutely mind blowing climb.

[@Nydhagel]

Holly crap, This was really mesmerizing to watch .And looking at the length of the video, this put the level of the route to perspective. i mean, i, an average climber, am exausted when i spend more than 2-3 min on a route. in a competition the routes are graded 8a to 8c with a time limit of 6 min. here the ascend takes more than 20 min with the fast forward on the rests. Even with good rests, the endurance you need to keep climbing for that long is insane! Ah and the narration was really nice as well :p

[@itszaque]

I’m loving all the excellent content from climbers recently! I’m excited to see you grow the channel.

I hit the like button at the beginning of the video, but then paused it. I went climbing and I was somehow two grades stronger, but didn't know why. I watched the rest of the video later and then he told us we would climb harder if we hit the like button, so thanks for sharing some of your power.

[@manolok96]

Amazing climbing and amazing video! Let me make a note thoe. Isn't it a bad idea to be clipped just to a sling that isn't fully tense? In case you fell from the kneebar during the "rope change", you would fall on a sling that doesn't have the capacity to dissipate the fall dynamically, as a rope does, and there's a chance that it would break. If I were you (and I'm clearly not, I'm not a 9b+ -potentially 9c- climber, but a 6c climber, so what the hell do I know), I would tie a one-handed clove hitch to the closest quickdraw. That way, you would have redundant security with a dynamic element. Really, I'm boring myself just writing it. You're clearly more experienced than me, and I understand that you were not expecting to fall from a good kneebar rest, but I just want to let this comment here in case someone finds it useful or whatever.

[@floriang2868]

I was actually wondering about the same thing. Would be great to get an answer from an experienced climber :)

[@gabplayspoker]

He had less then 4 inches of slack and he would fall in an arc the sling would not break would not be the most comfortable fall but not dangerous for the distance/type of climbing

[@manolok96]

@@gabplayspoker yeah you're probably right

[@terraflow__bryanburdo4547]

Easy fix is to make the runner from a dynamic rope section. I do this for working my roof climbs. Falling on static, even with rope backup, is hard on the body.

[@masterkeyforfun]

The rope change is kinda dangerous, if the sling has so mach slag. If you would fall, you would get an strong non-dynamic impact and it could break the loop of your harness. Hard is Easy made a great video about this. So either reduce the slag in de sling or even better have a dynamic kinda sling/rope which would absorb the impact.

[@AllegraClimbingPsychologist]

This was amazing. Congrats on becoming a professional youtuber! Does it mean you are retiring as a professional climber? You just went to rockmaster... o.O Anyway, hit the bell, so now I want to climb 7c 🤣🤣🤣 Sei un mito!

[@crisp1385]

Watch, how he clips the rope in 6:32. That is peak climbing in every aspect!

[@alecesaris]

Grandissimo

[@jordanlewis3790]

is clipping to a long, what looks like, dyneema sling for when you are off belay really safe? like, of course a climber of your calibre isnt gonna fall on a rest and maybe its a head game thing but surely a screamer or some kind of energy absorber should be used instead as the shock load on a dyneema sling can create extremely high forces enough to even snap the sling

[@ppeppe]

He's appears below the bolt it's clipped to and off to the side, so I think a fall would likely just result a jolt and swing, but nothing crazy harsh and really no chance of it breaking (assuming good condition, 20+kn sling)

[@Luca----]

Keep it up you are a beast

[@DanielChavez-mt7xq]

This was so sick

[@colasdavid953]

Great ascent Stefano ! When you do the rope "change" though, is it that safe to have for only back up just a piece of sling? I mean, you seem to hold on the knee bar pretty well, but if you fall at this point, you'll shock load the sling by 50-100cm maybe ? without being on belay. I just know that slings do not like very much shock loads... Correct me if I'm wrong. Bravo again for the climb

[@davesmith1588]

Those slings are probably ~22kN, unless it's already damaged it's easily strong enough

[@TheMegaMrMe]

you are right. you should not risk shock loading a static system. your belay loop will break before the sling. the thing to note is that he is way below the anchor so he would probably be ok. i wouldn't test it on myself though

[@max_kl]

additionally many things in the body would break probably even before the sling

[@PaulSagar1986]

A factor 2 fall on a dynema sling can break it with an 80kg weight under test conditions. Stefano is probably safe in terms of not falling to the ground but with no dynamism in the system the fall into the harness would be extremely hard and very, very painful possibly causing damage to internal organs. So it’s not exactly “safe”….

[@adrianodesouza4129]

I was thinking the same, the fall on that sling would probably hold but might break his back. Maybe a clove hitch or dynamic tether would be better

[@eineannanas5104]

loving it

man from professional climber to professional youtuber, what a ride, so when are the raid shadow legends ads coming in? or is it raycons? no no no, nord vpn to keep the nordic theme, right?

[@kockarthur7976]

How does this route compare to Move in terms of difficulty? The name seems a bit misleading because 'Hard' originally comes from the fact that it joined with 'Project Hard', not that it is necessarily a harder version of Move.

[@owenwestpoley1652]

[@jameswooldridge8681]

During the rope switch he was clipped into a static sling, right? Wouldn't want to shock load that thing

[@tinopack4152]

yaayyyy! "professional youtuber"😂😂

[@tillteufel9979]

at 7:15 during the ropechange, if you fell into that loose hanging static sling, wouldnt it cut the ring of the harness? falling just a little into static slings is very dangerous.

[@moonti6820]

You would need at least 15 kN of force to break a belay loop. No way this is happening here. Falling on that sling would be unpleasent, that's pretty much it.

[@123amsterdan456]

that carabier in a harness thing will prevent you falling to the ground, but a fall with a static 'rope' like dynema will break your back. Maybe using a piece of rope?

[@k3nning_w3st]

It also could have snapped on a fall since it had some slack.

[@gabplayspoker]

Guys there was barely any slack he would not of fell straight down he was climbing an overhang some force would of applied to the side and down it would of break the fall do you know what those slings are rated for?

[@123amsterdan456]

@@gabplayspoker the point is not the overall rating in Kn, is the lack of any elasticity, he would go from falling to still in 0.0001 seconds that can really fuck your back up, we need the dynamicity of ropes to handle our falls. And even tho it is 22kn+ rated, in a drop tower with a 80kg weight and a factor 2+ fall it can actually snap (citation needed, watched a video of this once), its not how they were designed to use

[@max_kl]

6:49 isn't falling into a static sling very dangerous? I thought the force generated in that case would be very high due to the missing rope stretch and would be sure to break the sling and/or the bolt

[@ASwannyOne]

Was thinking the same thing. I imagine you'd shock load the bolt and apply more force on it than usual. Might not be enough to break it, but I don't think bolts are added to the wall with shock loaded forces in mind.

[@moonti6820]

Falling on that sling would be harsh but that's pretty much it. He is on a factor 0.3 or something like that. no way a fall like that would break the sling or the bolt.

[@CJski]

@@ASwannyOne 😂 the bolts are fine. It’s the sling and belay loop that you should worry about

[@max_kl]

@@moonti6820 idk, the lower the stretch the higher the deceleration force, no? I mean from v = a * t (so a = v / t) it follows that shorter breaking times mean higher deceleration, a static sling would result in a near instantaneous stop and thus a very high force (infinite force in case of zero stretch)
