Arnaud Petit climbs "Black Bean" 8b with natural pro in Ceüse

Arnaud Petit climbs “Black Bean” (8b) in the limestone amphitheater of Ceüse, taking on a stunning 65-meter line with nothing but natural protection he places himself. Filmed by Bertrand Delapierre, this short, focused film captures the blend of precision, power, and composure it takes to push hard while staying responsible for every piece between you and the ground. What makes it worth watching is the rare combination of elite difficulty and real commitment: you’ll see the pace of a long route, the micro-decisions of gear and movement, and the mental control required when the protection is earned, not pre-bolted. Add Ceüse’s iconic walls and clean, close-up climbing footage, and you get a satisfying hit of big-route atmosphere and high-end trad mastery in just 11 minutes.
