Nathan Bancroft at Achromatic.tv put this beautiful vid of Dave Graham’s first ascent of the Ice Knive V15. The cinematography is outstanding; but the climbing doesn’t start until 5:07. It was worth the wait. This is a superb vid that captures Dave’s frustrations. So, look out if you are watching with younglings that are sensitive to all-out-effort language of a boulderer.
If you haven’t seen Dave’s interview about using wizardry to send, you can see it here. As Dave fights through multiple tries, he eventually had to rely upon his “wizard sh*t” to get the FA of this beautiful V15.
Nice work, Dave. Nice work, Nathan.
