Arc'teryx - Viva La Vie

Arc'teryx - Viva La Vie follows American climber Jonathan Siegrist as he travels to France to trace the roots of modern sport climbing, drawn to the storied limestone of the Verdon Gorge. Joined by Swiss star Nina Caprez, the pair set their sights on the canyon’s hardest lines, blending partnership, pressure, and pure movement as the gorge’s steep walls demand everything they’ve got. What makes this short film hit is its balance of high-end climbing and the quieter moments in between—the ones that reveal why people keep coming back to the rock. With cinematic direction from Andy Mann and Keith Ladzinski and a crisp, energetic edit, it’s a compact dose of big atmosphere, bold attempts, and the unexpected meaning that can show up mid-journey when you’re not searching for it.
