“Kryptos” - second woman to send V15
(Kommentare: 0)
For BD Ambassador Kaddi Lehmann, climbing a V15 boulder problem all started with fixing the gears on her old mountain bike. But those accumulated miles she pedaled uphill to Kryptos—an aesthetic limestone seam in the Swiss Jura—pale in comparison to the internal journey she endured to reach the top of that boulder. On that intrepid internal voyage, Lehmann discovered that success didn’t hinge on physical power, but on motivation, belief, and happiness.
This is her story.

Fortunately, the situation looks brighter and we are allowed to go outdoors in my own country. So it is time to test my power at some of the local testpieces. In January, Martin Stranik made the first ascent of Iceberg 8C, so it was an obvious challenge to start after the end of the lockdown.

In a galaxy far far away lies a bloc just chillin on the side of the road. It hosts a very powerful line going out the center of the overhang. The crux revolves around a heinous gaston move that makes your shoulder feel like it is going to burst into tiny pieces. Do or Die.

"In terms of footage, this is one of the very best climbing video I've ever had the pleasure of watching" Bjorn Pohl, UKclimbing.com
"for fans of bouldering videos this is most certainly worth adding to your collection" ClimbingNarc
"BTC holds the comparison with big climbing productions" Kletterszene.com
"In short, for a first production, Haroun strikes a blow" Pierre Délas, Kairn.com
As Better Than Chocolate is now celebrating its 8th year anniversary, I have decided to upload it to youtube and make it available for free.
It was my first serious project, was distributed worldwide (Digital Download and DVD) and launched my filmmaking career. At the time I had to build all the filmmaking equipment by hand (slider, gimbal, crane). I went on to shoot documentaries and commercials in almost 25 countries, from the Amazon to the Cederberg Mountains. Enjoy!
