Arc'teryx Presents: Ground Up

In an era where many climbers rely on fixed ropes and sport-climbing tactics to free El Capitan, this Arc’teryx film follows climbers Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn as they embrace the raw spirit of adventure. Opting for a bold ground-up ascent, the duo tackles the Pineapple Express variation of El Niño (5.13b/c)—one of the hardest routes on El Cap—over eight grueling days. Facing variable weather, fragile rock, and a serious finger injury for Amity, their climb exemplifies the essence of big wall free climbing.
