A short trailer for a movie that doesn’t exist. But shouldn’t it?!?! Shot over two days in Squamish, BC.

Nestled into the cliffs of the easternmost point in the United States, ‘Maniac’ is a 5.13d rated climbing route, established and ascended in the mid 80’s, and only repeated four times since. At the time of the route ’ s inception it was one of the only sport climbing routes in the country, and achieved a rating ranking it amongst the most difficult in the world. In years since , many routes have been established throughout the country , and the world, yet the list of climbers to successfully ascend this cliff just outside the sleepy town of Lubec, Maine is limited to a very few, including Alex Honnold and Hazel Findlay, some of the most well – known and accomplished athletes in the sport. Today, New England – based climbers Michael Larson and Jay Conway set out to add their names to that short list.

Until I was 20 years old, I had never had a coach. No matter how ridiculous it sounds, I was “coaching” myself since I was 8 years old. And really tried to even think about it. It was a lot of trial&error, but somehow it worked. But I struggled when preparing myself for specific competition. Patxi Usobiaga is a former World Champion and still exceptional climber, who has been my coach for the last 5 years. Find out more in the next episode.
