Epic Climbing on the First 5.15a Multi-Pitch
A new film featuring Edu Marin on his massive roof climb called Valhalla
In 2019, Edu Marin completed the first ascent of a 14-pitch 5.15a in China called Valhalla. A new documentary about the climb was just released, watch below.
“To send the pitches took me four months,” said Marin. ““Walking up early, 983 stairs up, 150 metres of jugging ropes and we would start climbing in -5 C. To be honest I’ve been tempted to give up sometimes. It took endurance, discipline, perseverance and lots of motivation.”
The film description reads, “Edu Marín, his father Francisco “Novato” and his brother Álex, embark on an uncertain adventure, in which the probabilities of success are low but the reward can be enormous. The determination of the Marin’s to conquer the largest roof in the world is absolute and nothing can stop them. The great arch of Getu is the main scenery for a story of joys, cries, unexpected obstacles, adverse weather, friendship and climbing.”
