00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - When we realized that we could climb

00:22 across the underside of bridges.

00:24 That was like light bulb moment.

00:26 Bridges are made with cracks in them.

00:29 Perfect splitter.

00:30 - Maybe somewhere we could find

00:33 the mother bridge roof crack.

00:35 - Oli's going a little bit mad.

00:37 - Oh, oh my God.

00:40 Oh my God.

00:41 This is it.

00:42 I found it Pete.

00:43 - The dorm wall of bridges is like El Cap, but like that.

00:48 We think it's about two and a half thousand foot long.

00:51 Around 80 pictures.

00:53 - 80?

00:54 - 80, eight, zero.

00:55 - Whose idea was this?

00:57 - We just go ground up from the start back to back 513.

01:01 Multiple days of climbing.

01:02 - Death by 5,000 hand jabs.

01:04 - Sleeping up there.

01:06 - We got pizza.

01:08 - The dirt and the grime and the noise of traffic.

01:12 Everything hurts.

01:13 - Although it's ridiculous.

01:14 - Oh shit.

01:16 - What are they doing?

01:17 - And it's stupid.

01:18 - Please have turned up.

01:19 - Oh crikey.

01:20 - It's also a world-class climbing achievement.

01:22 - You going feet first today Pete?

01:24 - Biggest, most insane crack ever climbed.

01:28 - I have never seen something that hard.

01:36 Climbable by a human being.

01:40 Which is Charles.

01:43 - Oui monsieur.

01:44 - Charles is like a legend.

01:49 - He's the strongest climber in Fontainebleau.

01:51 One of the strongest in the world.

01:52 And he's climbing barefoot.

01:54 - What is this?

01:55 - This is freaking me out.

01:56 He's grabbing with his toes.

01:58 Nobody else has really done that.

02:00 - When you start climbing, people tell you,

02:02 all you need is a pair of climbing shoes.

02:05 Turns out it's wrong.

02:07 - Charles represents the spirit of bouldering.

02:12 The minimum of material.

02:14 - Doesn't even use a crash pad.

02:16 - You have to consider the danger.

02:18 - And all he's trying is the hardest projects.

02:21 It's like dude, why are you even trying them?

02:23 They're not possible.

02:25 - Gets boring to try something you're certain you can do.

02:29 - That's what it takes to push the limit of bouldering.

02:34 - Big moves.

02:35 Really shitty holds.

02:37 It's a project only for Charles.

02:40 - Just like this character that everyone wants to know about.

02:44 - What he leaves.

02:45 - This is my cave.

02:46 - What he eats.

02:48 - Collecting chestnuts for the winter.

02:50 - With this life, I don't need to work.

02:52 So I can just climb and do whatever I want.

02:56 Like make wine or singing.

02:59 I think it's important to question the obvious.

03:06 - The swarm is this iconic boulder problem.

03:11 10 years ago, no woman had done it

03:13 and no woman in the world had done B14 yet.

03:15 I wanted to shatter that glass ceiling.

03:19 And I posted on social media, big things to come.

03:22 But it ended up even bigger than I expected.

03:25 Years of public failure, self-loathing, self-doubt.

03:28 I mean, it broke me and forced me to face who I really was.

03:33 I had been hiding for so long.

03:37 Coming out was terrifying.

03:39 But for the first time in my life,

03:45 I felt like, oh, I can breathe, I can move.

03:48 I was floating.

03:49 Like I had been climbing my entire life

03:50 with a weight vest on.

03:51 - Flash for Alex Johnson, new overall leader.

03:54 - And always, always in the back of my mind,

03:56 the swarm was still out there.

03:58 Even as the person that I am now, I'm so afraid of it.

04:02 - Yeah.

04:03 Yeah, come on.

04:05 - But that's the core of what makes us climbers.

04:08 - Why?

04:09 Come on.

04:10 - You face all your demons head on.

04:12 - I like pain.

04:13 I like it a lot.

04:14 - Yes, come on.

04:17 Hold tight, grab it.

04:18 Yes, come on.

04:19 Hang everything you want.

04:20 Everything you got.

04:21 Come on.

04:22 Come on.

04:24 Come on, stay, stay, stay.

04:25 - The Cuddle is the continental divide ultimate link up.

04:30 - Trying to climb all the iconic peaks

04:32 in Rocky Mountain National Park in a single push.

04:34 - 20 plus thousand feet of elevation gain, like 35 miles.

04:39 - When Alex and I get together, we go huge.

04:41 - At this point, Tommy and I have done enough things together

04:43 that they're all terrible.

04:44 Or they're all amazing, depending how you look at it.

04:46 - But this whole idea actually came from Adam Stack.

04:49 Adam was my childhood best friend, this young crusher.

04:52 But then he moved to Florida.

04:54 - I put on 40 pounds, trying to like jumpstart my life again.

04:58 Called up Tommy with this crazy idea.

04:59 - How you feeling?

05:00 - I feel like I'm in a throw.

05:01 - Altitude getting to you?

05:02 - I think it's my partner.

05:04 I couldn't keep up with Tommy.

05:05 - So I had to call in the big gun.

05:07 - Superman Alex shows up.

05:11 I'm off the team now.

05:12 - When you're with Honnold,

05:13 you just keep going no matter what.

05:14 - All these movies, everyone's like,

05:15 oh, Alex is the sketchy one.

05:17 Tommy's not unsketchy, is all I'm saying.

05:20 Leading on the six mil static line,

05:22 it looks like a shoelace.

05:23 - Free soloing a thousand foot big wall

05:25 in our tennis shoes.

05:26 - Man, I think I would really love free soloing

05:28 if it wasn't dangerous.

05:28 - Oh, it's not.

05:30 - After the first seven or eight mountains,

05:31 things started to unravel.

05:33 - Oh boy.

05:34 - We have no food or headlamps or pants.

05:35 - If it's not windy tonight,

05:37 we could be okay without pants.

05:38 - Anytime you have to cuddle because you're so cold,

05:43 you're kind of bummed.

05:44 - Our only hope is Adam Stack.

05:46 Imagine that, the two best rock climbers in the world

05:49 need to be rescued.

05:50 - So here we go.

05:53 Trying to find my buddies.

05:55 Whoa.

05:56 - I was worried,

05:57 but also a little excited to see them suffer.

06:01 Look at this.

06:04 - It's actually a really beautiful frame.

06:08 I hope I win an Emmy for this.
