The First Ascent of Brazil’s First 5.15a
A new film has been released featuring the first ascent of Auto Retrato

Last fall, Felipe Camargo made the first ascent of Auto Retrato in Serra do Cipó as the first proposed 5.15a in Brazil. He travelled to South America with his brother Bruno to establish several climbs and a new film featuring his first ascent of Auto Retrato just dropped.
Camargo began climbing at 10 years in Ribeirão Preto, a Brazilian city a few hours from São Paulo. He quickly became Brazil’s best sport climber and the first from the country to climb 5.15b with El Bon Combat in 2019. Some of his other impressive sends include Gancho Perfecto 5.15a, Logan 5.14d FA, Papichulo 5.15a, Fortaleza V15 FA, Catalan Witness the Fitness V15 FA, and The Never Ending Story V14.
The new film was released by The North Face and is described as, “Inspired by the energy and soundtracks of surf and skate films, this isn’t your average climbing film.” Watch below.
