Five Ten 2015 | Sonnie Trotter | Estado Critico, 9a

Sonnie Trotter returns to the sun-baked limestone of Siurana, Spain, fourteen years after his last visit, stepping back onto the steep walls with a different kind of motivation. In Five Ten 2015 | Sonnie Trotter | Estado Critico, 9a, he’s not just chasing a grade—he’s revisiting unfinished business, balancing the pull of old projects with the perspective of being back with his family. What makes this short film hit is its blend of focus and atmosphere: the quiet rituals of working a route, the sting of doubt on razor edges, and the surge of commitment when it’s time to go. Estado Critico (9a) becomes a proving ground for patience and precision, set against the unmistakable energy of Siurana’s climbing culture—an ideal watch if you love high-end sport climbing, real attempts, and the feeling of returning to a line that never quite left you.
