Pic Saint Loup

At the sun-baked limestone of Pic Saint Loup in the South of France, this short film follows two of the sport’s most compelling climbers: Nina Caprez and Cédric Lachat. With the camera close on chalked hands and precise footwork, Nina takes on Hélix (8c+) while Cédric battles Staphylocoque (9a+), revisiting the routes they recently sent redpoint—now with the pressure of doing it clean, again, on demand. What makes Pic Saint Loup worth your ten minutes is its pure focus on movement, effort, and the quiet intensity that lives between clips. You’ll feel the rhythm of sport climbing at the limit: the pauses that aren’t rests, the recalculations mid-sequence, the small wins that build toward the chains. It’s a crisp hit of high-end limestone climbing—equal parts inspiration and reminder that the hardest lines are earned one controlled breath at a time.
