Now That's What I Call a First Ascent - EP2 -The Walk of Life -James Pearson

James Pearson steps into the sharp end in this episode of Now That’s What I Call a First Ascent, taking on “The Walk of Life” with the full weight of uncertainty that comes with new ground. Shot with Hot Aches Productions’ intimate, on-the-rock perspective, the film drops you into the world of trad climbing where protection is earned, decisions are immediate, and every move carries consequence. What makes this one hit is the blend of focus and vulnerability: the quiet rituals before commitment, the mental noise that builds as the route steepens, and the real possibility of a fall when the climbing turns serious. In just over thirteen minutes, it captures the essence of why first ascents matter—not just for the line itself, but for the mindset it demands—leaving you with that rare mix of tension, relief, and stoke that only bold climbing can deliver.
