‘The Nate Draughn Redemption Story’ chronicles one climber’s journey through life’s highs and lows. From an early start in climbing to losing control of everything at the hands of drugs, one thing has remained true the whole way through…a life for the sport. In a return to his old stomping grounds of Boone, North Carolina, Nate Draughn recounts his journey through the last two decades of climbing, drugs and redemption.
This film was crafted by Ian Dzilenski and Nate Draughn.
Belay glasses have become a defining tool of the sport climber’s tool box. From their inception to now, the typical belay glasses have featured rigid prism that allows the climber to see above them, with most re-design and reinvention focusing on better and better frames without too much change to the prism. That is, until now.
It was last April when we met Matt Cupal. After a small discussion, he reluctantly showed me his latest innovation – a set of belay glasses with an adjustable prism. impressed initially with Matt’s ingenuity and dedication to such a complicated problem, I did not realize the revolution that I was quietly witnessing. Matt’s idea of an adjustable prism was a game charger.

In the last month of preparation for Toulouse, I allowed myself two days of rock climbing. The first day could be seen in the previous episode, the first ascent of Pučmeloun 8C, the second day we spent in Slovakia, in the conglomerate area Sulov. I had there in my mind particular project that is all about pulling on small mono pockets.
