Darkest Before Dawn | A Dawn Wall Story
Darkest Before Dawn follows Belgian climber Siebe Vanhee as he steps onto one of the most intimidating stages in climbing: Yosemite’s legendary Dawn Wall. It’s a candid look at a first full season of learning, failing, adapting, and returning to the stone—where the challenge isn’t just the moves, but everything that comes with being thousands of feet off the deck. What makes this film pop is its raw, unpolished honesty paired with cinematic big-wall atmosphere: the quiet battles with fear, fatigue, and doubt, the micro-progress that only a wall can teach, and the hypnotic beauty of bodies working on tiny edges in vast space. If you love stories about process over podiums, this is a gripping reminder that breakthroughs are built in the darkest hours before dawn.
