Doubt (5.13c/d) - Laurel Falk
Спорт
Laurel Falk on the 160 foot Mount Lemmon granite testpiece "Doubt" (5.13c/d) at the Reef of Rocks.
Originally graded 5.14a and FA’d by Alex Kirkpatrick in 2013, it had sat dormant since it was envisioned & bolted in the 1980’s by Ray Ringle; a second ascent didn't come until Jack Hereford repeated the route in 2018. A couple other repeats in the proceeding years all came about using a hold in the upper crux referred to as ‘the ear.’ In 2021 a down grade was proposed that was confirmed by Laurel after her ascent the following year.
The handful of previous ascentionists all ranged from 5'11" to 6'4" in height. Laurel, at 5'1", was forced to find her own sequences through the majority of the techy & mentally taxing 40 meter line.

The shots where laurels hair is fanning out in the wind and blowing upwards are my favorite. Really good

@@JimBoFilms Absolutely not trying to downplay Laurel's awesome accomplishment, but I'm curious where you got the heights of the previous ascentionists from? Because Alex Kirkpatrick is definitely not 5'11"...

@rangelife100 fair, however Alex did not use ‘the ear’ which was a key hold for it to go at the easier confirmed grade, and had been used by every other person who had sent since the FA. To be more specific, everyone who has sent at the grade is over 5'11". In order of the ascents, Jack Hereford (2018), Jesse Schultz (2018), Nathaniel Coleman (2018), Remy Franklin (2019), Adrian M (2021) and then Laurel (2022).

@peterpiek Couldn’t say it better 🙌
Beautiful film and climb,and a pleasure to watch her climb, what movement.
Laurel you are a magical climber. And What a great vid capturing the moment with sustained long shots! Just so much better to watch this way !
Damn that looks so hard, it just never ends. Congrats for that amazing send!
Beautiful climb! The music was perfect 👍🏻 And I’m all for short climbers figuring out new beta, sending and sandbagging 😊
What an amazing piece. That brief clip is more living than most will ever live in a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.
Laurel! Im almost..no Im...in tears! this was so so 'wow'..I'm absolutely bleeding joy for this effort'..you are fabulous 🎈Canyon in Marin
Sweet film - wind in hair was very cool. She's already an excellent climber and has potential to be supersonic...
This is a very rare example of great rock climbing filmmaking!!! Leagues above the rest.
no screaming or grunting. Guys should take a clue from her. Pure grace in action.

Really great footage! That route looks amazing. Thanks for your work!!!
She just seems effortless! Beautiful climb
I know nothing about climbing and my friend sent me this to watch, it’s absolutely incredible and my main question is WHAT IS SHE EVEN HOLDING ONTO half the time, she’s amazing
Laurel is such a joy to watch climb, even from the ground. The cinematography and music really do her and this climb justice. Tucson is having a moment, and I'm so glad y'all are capturing it in such an authentic way.
Love your vids so much. Getting even better every time. Amazing work laurel!
Thank you for shooting this at 4k, I really enjoyed it, also the camera work was great, so close to the wall, so we could really see the holds. I loved it. Terric route, great feet work, so strong, beautiful!
So so soooooooo.....good! Congrats Laurel and well done Adrian on the phenomenal capture!
Phenomenal climbing, Laurel! That was a pleasure to watch. Excellent filmwork, as usual by this channel. You are mastering your art

Nicely done, great filming/editing/video! Keep it up!
"a little more relaxing after you get the ear" 😳 Great climbing Laurel. This route is definitely going on my list.
Sick one, the length of that route is wild. Good job💥
Love the aphex twin addition❤
Simply brilliant climbing...so inspiring.
Loving the Mononoke hairstyle brings so much to the climb. HQ line would love to project something similar. Congrats 🔝
What a line. 🔥
I lived in Tucson for awhile and spent quite a bit of time climbing there. I like the granite. and some of the older routes are scary.
That climb looked so hard. It didn't even look like there were any decent rests on it. Well done to the climber.
What a killer line! so rad
Awesome!! Way to go girl!! Love the vid :)
Beautiful rock! Sorry I never got to climb there. Well done Laurel!
"Mmmm juuuugs" xD This was a gorgeously filmed send. Never heard of Laurel before now, she seems like a fantastic climber with a good sense of humor. Can't wait to see what she sandba-I mean sends next!
Crushed it! Don't forget to Sandbag it!
BEAST
tremenda ruta ! Super exigente en resistencia
Amazing. Aphex Twin soundtrack is perfect.
Wow that is amazing
great send! congrats!
That route has such soul.
absolutely sick
Okay climbing with an Aphex Twin track I didn't see that coming, now I have to susbcribe to this channel
Wow.. please be safe. Love to continue to see Laura climb.
Woah awesome climb super rad 😎😎
There it is… That’s the good stuff right there
So sick
Damn every move feels like a feat of human strength but doing it for such a sustained period of time with no breaks truly blows my mind
So good, so cool, super jealous
C'mon, that updraft greatly assisted her ascent! JK!! Great climb and climber - wild hair shot near the end.
Grazie...sono salito con te😊
So Damn Crimpy
Sick
Crimp Beast!
Rock climbers at this level blow my mind
Awesome filming! Beautiful climber. She’s so good and so easy on the eyes. And the shots you got are amazing. Loved it!
unbelievable this is rated ~8b, looks waaaaaay harder with those disgusting crimps on 50m :O congratulations!
That route looks huge!!! Do you need an 80m rope to lower off?

Incredible climbing! Beautiful!
Amazing achievement! Did she even take a rest?
Lol thought she was clipping chains at least 3 times in there. Like phew she got it! No wait still going...
Rookie question. The rating system is confusing to me. This looks harder than other in that range…. How this work?.
Didn't Sasha DiGiulian do this climb? I seem to recall the "thumb press" move.
How long has Laura been climbing?
Shit female or not! How a human can climb up something like that is beyond impressive!! Very impressive!!
I wonder what grade she would give this climb, given her small height.

So crimpy and powerful -well done!! I will add at least 3 x she could have whipped with the rope behind her leg -mainly at the start which could have been really bad. Impressive climbing none the less!
A real talent. She's looks like Spider-Woman going up that face.
that definitely looked 5.14 from the video... maybe it's less pumpy in person haha
The amount of times I thought her hair would get caught in those biners...
finger strength is ridiculous
yeah the holds look quite horrible tbh, nice climbing (and nice editing)
And she has all that WEIGHT of LONG hair pulling down on her as well …. I would keep my hair as short ( I.e., light ) as possible - if I were a serious climber …..🤔

Alas you are not, and she is, so clearly it’s not a contributing factor. Think before you hit comment.
