Arc'teryx Presents: Wet Lycra Nightmare

When Jordan Cannon fell near the end of a 5.13 pitch on Wet Lycra Nightmare (5.13d), the steepest big wall in the Yosemite Valley, he didn’t give up. At least not on his climbing partner, Sam Stroh. Moving slowly upwards the duo gave it their all, and the sun-baked day ended with Stroh becoming the 5th person to ever climb the elusive wall.
Next, it was Jordan’s turn to do it in his own style, free-climbing the iconic route over two days.

Director: Samuel Crossley

I've worked with a number of elite athletes and professionals in my time and always have to remember that they struggle just like the rest of us when they don't perform to the level they had hoped. What I appreciate is that the struggles, failures, re-attempts and all were kept in. In the time of social media where we only see everyone's best days, this kind of realism is greatly appreciated... thanks!

Honestly, I think the thing I am most impressed with is how easy Jordan made that 13a off width chimne thing look.

that fall at 7:02 though 😮 dude almost had a granite sandwich for lunch. Seriously inches away from a life changing injury. Wear your helmet kids. Also: bad look for Sam to ditch his bud on the wall.

@@devinrogers4885 They did it as a project, that means falling very often and predictable. Its not a big whipper with leg catched behind the rope falling upside down... If you think, without a helmet touching the stone would cut your head in halfes immediatly, but with a helmet you can just smash your face (!) as hard as possible without injuries - youre wrong.

@@devinrogers4885i thought they said that sam got sick while he was up there. would like to give the guy the benefit of the doubt, since I’d be shitting myself up there and I’d want my belayer to not have their concentration hindered. I don’t know very much abt big wall tbf.

Same here. As hard as he thrashed on the roof, he smoothed the bomb bay. Also, compare his and Sam's foot work on the roof. Night and day difference.

@@jakob8741obviously you're gonna fall a lot on a project. I'm talking about this fall specifically where he literally almost smashed his face into the wall. Are you really trying to make a case against helmets right now?

Lol, it was definitely pretty gnarly, but surprisingly it didn’t hurt very much in the moment! I went to the medical clinic, they pulled out even more shards of my shin bone, stitched it up, and gave me a bunch of antibiotics. I had to take about 10 days off before I could climb again, but even still it took a long time to heal completely

Done the West Face a few times as an Aid climb. It's a beautiful airy place and for my lazy self aid climbing the crux is hiking my butt up there to start the climb, so it's hard to imagine returning to the valley to sleep and hiking back up and jugging overhanging lines instead of just crashing on classic Ahwahnee ledge. (Where my partner and I took mushrooms on my first overnight wall) Ran into Honnold on the hike on a much later ascent. Great guy as usual but wearing a shirt looked more like a champion gamer than one of the greatest athletes of all history But he is! and kudos to anyone in the shape to climb the 5.13 granite pitches one on top of another. it's unimaginable
