Mini sports document/video essay about the world's first 9a+ sport climb
Check out my small climbing brand Tor & Edge at torandedge.com

Search first 5.15 on YouTube and the first thing you see is Chris Sharma climbing Biographie at Ceuse in 2001. But was this really the first 9a+ sport climb

With upgrades, downgrades, and controversy it's not a simple story but certainly an interesting one.

After a lot of research and many editing hours here's my first climbing video essay/history video, enjoy!
