Nice send Michaela! That was pretty badass when you ran it out. I like the way this video was filmed and the subtle little details, like the strike light becoming clear at the end. Well done production company.
-
"Catch me if I fall!!!! I'm skippin it!!!" Straight BOSS
-
Interesting when M says that falling became part of her sequence. I think that’s more common for a lot of people than they realise.
-
Michaela Kiersch go for 5.15 already you can do it!!!
-
Loved all the narration on your mind set during the climb. I find it really helps to understand that you can overcome all those fears and doubts and accomplish something this amazing, you just have to push not only your body but your mind to do it. Absolutely amazing climb!
-
Very insightful. I love it. I'm not a climber, just a spectator. But one of the things I love about climbing is how one can relate to the struggles and fails from other different scenarios. That obsessive mind is my mind too in other activities.
-
I love the Golden Ticket video, and this one as well. I always come back to them. I love the mixture of climbing footage and her thoughts on it.
-
I don’t think there’s any way to measure the stress you feel between skipping a clip, getting to the next one, drawing out the rope, and pushing it into the gate. So much running through your head before you clip. Awesome send
-
So excited after she made the last clip she shouted "take!" after weighting the rope! Amazing climb. "Catch me if I fall, skipping this clip!!"
-
Brilliant, love the commentary!
-
Very fun and inspiring to watch!
-
great job all around - from the actual climb to the music in the piece - well done
-
Grew up in st George Mtn biking…now I’m attending grad school out of state and have started climbing. I can’t believe this was practically in my backyard and I had no idea! Anyway, went and walked up to the route today and my goodness. I’ve never seen a route so intimidating. Nice work!!
-
Amazing!!
-
Very cool video, I cannot believe how much you think about stuff while you climb(or at least it sounds like it). I really wanna go climbing with you some day! Keep sending, you are awesome
-
Just recently started watching these climbing videos and the women are completely amazing! Not one single female climber has ever one said anything like they wish they were stronger or taller or anything. I'm extremely impressed by all of them. #climblikeagirl
-
Anyone ever notice that really hard routes always have names that sound like rollercoasters and/or hotsauces?
-
Congratulations, fantastic send! Nice to hear what goes on in a climbers head during those moments in so much detail.
-
I love this young ladies grit and determination.
-
OMG!!! Love it!! Love your smile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
