MoonClimbing follows athlete Buster Martin on his breakthrough ascent of First Ley (9a+) in Margalef, a Chris Sharma testpiece that has become a modern benchmark for sport climbing at the top end. Shot around his attempts and eventual send on 17 November 2019, it captures the intensity of returning to a single line across multiple trips—first encounter, setbacks, refinement, and the final commit when everything clicks. Worth watching for the distilled hit of high-grade climbing: crisp movement, controlled aggression, and the mindset it takes to keep showing up when the route keeps saying no. In just over a minute, it delivers a shot of motivation for anyone who trains, projects, or dreams about what “one more go” can lead to—especially when the stakes are 9a+.
