Fight Club

Patagonia’s Fight Club drops you into the quiet intensity of a historic Canadian first ascent as climbing ambassador Alex Megos sets his sights on Fight Club (5.15b). Alongside the story of the route’s creation and the Banff-area limestone that guards it, the film follows the precision, power, and patience required when the holds are small, the margins are thinner, and every attempt carries the weight of possibility. What makes this worth your eight minutes is the rare mix of grit and grace that only cutting-edge climbing delivers: the problem-solving on razor edges, the discipline between burns, and the surge when commitment finally clicks. Whether you’re here for the milestone—Canada’s first 5.15—or for the universal rush of trying hard on something that feels just out of reach, Fight Club is a fast, focused hit of inspiration.
