So good to see some video of this. Would love to try one day. Amazing work Connor, and of course Ethan for putting this one up 💪

Very sure you will!

Damn. It doesn't get a lot tougher than this. He's climbing it like a sport route, but having to do big moves into jams, place tiny gear, and invert more than once. Amazing work Connor, and Ethan for the FA.

Nice to see a pro climber actually wearing a helmet

Well, how else could he show off more Black Diamond gear? 😂

I climbed at the Promentory a few years ago and Blackbeard was there silently towering over everything. The constant waves crashing and mist give the place a kind of dreamy feel. That shot at 0:30 looking up at the route is just what it was like. Super tall, imposing, thin... The locals told me Pringle had climbed it a few years back which blew my mind, and there were no second ascents. This route stuck with me for some reason, it just looked so impossible, but amazingly epic. Hats off to Captain Herson for conquering Blackbeard.

I don’t think I’ve seen someone climb at this grade with such abandon. Really amazing to see.

Connor is such an under rated climber!! He’s putting down the hardest trad lines and seems to get little coverage. Truly talented

Connor is the most inspiring young climber out there at the moment. Great ethics and super strong in many disciplines! I wish there was a longer video with some commentary about the route

Yes, would really love to hear some commentary on this one. Particularly about the gear beta. Looks like there were several sections where he's placing some very small gear in order to keep the bigger spots open for his hands/feet. Would be very interesting to hear about how he though through the tradeoffs.

@@Olopnogitron me three, was thinking the same, that would be very nice to have the commentary in off rather than the music.

Wow the movement was absolutely insane on that thing, and the video showcased this perfectly. Well done!

Excelent climbing and excelent movie. All climbing videos should look like this. Pure climbing, without pointless waste of time on scenes of driving a car, eating a pizza and partner confessions. Great job Connor, great job BD!

Good shit Connor. Surprised it took this long for a second ascent, but of course it was gonna be Connor. Can't wait to see what he does next!

Can't really beat a bathang from a double foot jam. What a sick route!

I remember watching this kid climb at the local gym in Sunnyvale. They had to set 5.14s for him. A few months later I read about him freeing the Nose. Crazy good climber!

i couldn't appreciate how overhung the route is until the drone pulled back. WOW!

I like the helmet use.

Wow, that was incredible! Never realized how much of a King Line that route was… really cool to finally see some footage of this beast

Are you hopping on this eventually?

Striking line, well done Ethan & Connor! 💪

roof crux goes crazy

Incredible!

Wow absolutely insane! Would love to see raw send footage

Badass

One of the most impressive routes I’ve seen, wow

I'm envious. I wish we had a line like that around here.

amaaaazing !!!!

So gooood!!!!!

Dope and what a beautiful crag too!

Nice climbing, nice line, nice edit!

Pringle Tribute 1:30

The badass young gun! Great job, Connor!

so dope sheesh

This is utterly sick

Great route man good work! I'd love to have a go at that one day. I'd be up and down like a yo-yo but I'd definitely have fun! 😊

Hell yeah

This rules.

😍

Dang you don't see how steep that is until the end.

Conor quickly running out of hard trad lines to send. Prolific!!!

👍

This guy just hung on a foot jam 🤯

That bat hang was ungodly

I'm sure Connor has taken more big whippers onto gear in his short life than I ever will in mine. But, yikes, that 0.2 Z4 at the 1:16 mark sure looks awfully tipped out!

Would've been a perfect spot for a black totem, though I guess that wouldn't have gone over well in this video :)

Does footage exist of ethan pringle sending this?

Uncut plzzzzzzz

The summit, there is a bolt ?

Foot jamming with solutions?

Would love to see this without the music, kinda makes it worse for me.

Less goddamn music video style editing, less slo-mo intro, more camera stabilisation and more detailed footage of an amazing looking route, please.

Let's hope this is just the trailer for the longer non-flashy version.

Sick video! Stop with the awful music.
