Jules Marchaland - Three Degrees of Separation (9a+/5.15a)

Jules Marchaland takes on Three Degrees of Separation, one of the most distinctive and seldom-repeated sport routes in the world. Nestled on the legendary limestone walls of Ceuse, France, this 9a+/5.15a was originally bolted by Arnaud Petit and established by Chris Sharma, and it has seen only a handful of ascents since. What sets this climb apart is its three massive dynos — explosive leaps that demand not just raw power but perfect timing and commitment on each move. Marchaland's send is a masterclass in dynamic climbing, and the stunning Ceuse backdrop makes this seven-minute film an essential watch for anyone drawn to the cutting edge of sport climbing.
