New Films from The North Face and Mellow

Watch Zach Galla make the second ascent of The Smile V15

It’s cold and wintery at most of the world’s most popular rock climbing areas this week, so here are a few new videos to get you stoked on the upcoming season. The first one is from The North Face and the second is by Mellow.

From The North Face: “The North Face Athlete Felipe Camargo continues to push the limits of climbing in South America. In 2024 while on a trip to Argentina, Felipe was invited by the Colombian climbing community to tackle a legendary project bolted in 2015. Over 6 days, with unwavering support and cheers from the local community, Felipe conquered La Vuelta Al Mundo (9a/5.14d), establishing it as Colombia’s hardest rock climb.”

From Mellow: “Black Diamond welcomes Zach Galla to the team. Watch Galla take down one of the most stunning highballs in Rocklands: Finnish line V15/8C; and the second ascent of the The Smile V15/8C.”
