Big Game Hunter - First Ascent (Short Film)

"Big Game Hunter" is live! The film follows four climbers as they attempt a ground up first ascent in Kolob Canyon. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
From November to November I worked on four separate first ascents in Zion National Park. I can't even remember what it's like to use a power drill. Miles of fixed lines jugged and even more miles hiked. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣I love it.
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
During all of these trips I've been working on my craft as a photographer and filmmaker. It's inexplicably challenging to perform as a team member and then pick up a camera to make art. Every trip I get closer and closer to welding those two mindsets together. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
For now, this is the culmination of my efforts. Enjoy. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

watching with sound off because my wife is WFH but already loving this.  

One of the better trad videos I’ve seen in a long time.
Excellent production. Wish it were longer.

Awesome looking route and good camera work, nice job!! 

Nice work and thanks for the video.  Exactly what I needed today.

11/10 RAD!

Definitely got some stoke running through my veins after watching this.

Thanks for sharing! Would be great to see the uncut footage and without the high speed dubbing! 

Logged back in to say super nice! Great job, guys!

Anyone else sweat jussst a bit, watching the run-outs? Or the crux?
