"Abrasive but nice" - Welcome to Cocalzinho

“Abrasive but nice” drops you into the boulders of Cocalzinho, Brazil, where local powerhouse Rafael Passos links up with Giuliano and Daniel for a session that turns into a deep dive on long-term projects. As daylight fades and the “vibez” stay high well into the night, the crew hunts for solutions on hard, proud lines in a place that doesn’t hand out anything for free. This short film is worth your six minutes because it captures the full flavor of a real try-hard evening: skin and style, patience and pressure, and the quiet intensity of working moves until they finally go. With first ascents on Esmaga (V14), Mad Max (V14), and Aquamarine (V13), it’s a compact hit of top-end bouldering—equal parts gritty, playful, and motivating, with the kind of atmosphere that makes you want to go outside and pull on rock.
