If You're Not Falling - Sonnie Trotter , Cory Richards (Rhapsody E11)

In If You’re Not Falling, Hot Aches Productions follows Sonnie Trotter alongside Cory Richards as Sonnie takes on the daunting task of trying to unlock Dave MacLeod’s notorious E11, Rhapsody, at Dumbarton Rock. In under eight minutes, the film drops you into the tense, committed world of cutting-edge trad climbing—where “progress” is measured in tiny refinements, and the consequences are never far from mind. What makes this episode worth watching is its mix of focus and raw atmosphere: the quiet routines, the honest doubts, and the razor-thin margin between control and chaos that defines climbing at this level. Whether you know Rhapsody’s reputation or you’re simply drawn to the idea of pushing into unknown terrain, it’s a punchy hit of motivation that captures the essence of high-stakes movement—because if you’re not falling, you’re probably not trying hard enough.
