    To be honest i was more worried about the descent because that's clearly something you had practiced less. This was incredible
  • Having the confidence to pull off those last moves is incredible man. I can tell you have worked so hard to make this a reality. Congrats man, unbelievably awesome to have so much confidence in your abilities and just send it!

    Being a kid was such a free experience even in the worst of times. Recreating that feeling as an adult after a lifetime of programming is a beautiful thing.
  • @dudenoma
    This is the rawest video i ever seen in my entire life, your resolve and will power is eternally respected, for real

    Hey Noah, hope you are well. I respect your decisions to do this solo but to add in to all the other comments here - I climbed hard like you but had a 100ft ground fall last summer and broke 26 bones, had a helivac, 1 month hospital, 2 months wheelchair, I thought I was going to die while waiting for rescue. Just food for thought. I never thought it would happen to me.
  • Free soloing has always and will always be an aspect of climbing. They are irrevocably linked by climbing's history. What many do not understand about soloing is that the climbers are not doing it just for the attention it garners, but as an expression of supreme confidence in one's climbing ability at a certain level or on a particular climb. Most solo-ists would do these climbs for themselves whether there were cameras or not, as it comes with an amazing feeling of self confidence and accomplishment. That said, it is important to educate new climbers about the risks of soloing and give them details about what it takes to even attempt such a thing so that people who are not prepared do not endanger themselves.

    I almost got a little emotional watching you send the end of that route, that was incredible, great work, its been beyond cool to see you progress through your videos over the years but the tree climbing you do has always really fascinated me, I feel like this is somewhat of a Magnum Opus and testament to how far you all have gone with this style of climbing, keep at it this is inspiring (:
  • I've been following you since Climbing Giants and this has to be one of your best videos yet! Both in film making and in climbing!! You had me glued to the screen the whole time. Really an amazing work. You are your friends are pioneering a whole new type of climbing and it's great that you are sharing it. Thanks and keep up the great work 💪🏼
  • I wanted to see the full downclimb. To me as a free climber that is the most interesting part. I weigh if i'll be able to downclimb before climbing in general, so to skip the pumpy crag bit on the downclimb is so frustrating. If you Noah Kane read this, gimme a quick explainer as to why the cut of the footage and also how was it? Did you go a different safe route? Did you shimmy down the crack? I need to know!!!!
  • @rosstodd5648
    wow, I had sweaty palms the whole time. I can imagine though that once you have the climb dialled and you breath and focus you must enter some other state of mind, especially with the sound of the trees in the wind, your mind just shuts off and your body carries you.
  • @lukecreamer8426
    Remember kids, never solo climb without first opening all the chakras in meditation and entering the avatar state.
  • this is so awesome! Sometimes while climbing I will imagine not having a rope, and it scares the shit out of me every time without fail. You just free soloing your hardest treeclimb like that is incredible to me.
  • @FloridaMan904
    Awesome climb, you've really come a long way in your climbing ability. You are right, this is tree climbing in its purest form, much respect.
  • @ryangross5446
    Man such a banger video. there really is no feeling like looking out over the open air and embracing the fact that youre there, on the rock or in the trees, like a bird in the sky. Its probably how flying feels. Great stuff man
  • @deluxedoorman
    Wow, genuine goosebumps watching this. And I'm clapping and repeatedly yelling "amazing!" in my room at 1 am watching the end where you sent it. Powerful stuff man, thank you so much for sharing.
  • @Fartfordaze
    Amazing!! Wonderful work man and congratulations!!

    After discovering Leo Urban and Tarzan Movement and getting into climbing trees myself (started bouldering about 2 years ago) im just fully in love with this piece of Art right here. Cinematography is just as on point as your climbing an commitment is and it really is just beautiful to whiteness. I busted out having a laugh of joy as soon as you reached the top out and I felt it genuinely in me, just like I genuinely felt the way you must've been feeling when I first stood in the Top branches of 9-10m high crown of a tree. And I really appreciate the way you look at things, generally. I enjoyed this very much, thank you for that :)
