The North Face Presents: Jacopo Larcher's "Rise"

The North Face Presents: Jacopo Larcher’s “Rise” follows the Italian trad climber deep into the quiet woods of Cadarese, where a hidden 30-metre roof line known as “Tribe” becomes the focus of a six-year obsession. More than a single send, it’s a portrait of Larcher’s evolution from trad newcomer to one of the sport’s most versatile talents, shaped by patience, doubt, and the pull of a project that refuses to let go. What makes Rise worth your time is how it treats difficulty as something richer than a grade: the film builds tension through the grind of attempts, the precision demanded by a brutal roof, and the mental cost of committing to something that may never go. When Larcher chooses to step away from naming a number, the achievement lands as a tribute to everyone who helped—proof that the biggest ascents are rarely solo, and that in climbing, progress is often a shared act.

To The North Face’s Jacopo Larcher, Northern Italy’s ‘Tribe’ represents not only his longest and most demanding project to date, but a six-year evolution from trad newcomer to one of the most versatile and accomplished climbers in the world. And yet, despite opening this 30-metre punisher – a line hidden in the woodlands of Cadarese and that is argued to be the hardest single-pitch climb on Earth In March of this year, Larcher chose to forgo his right to grade the route, deciding not to reduce his astonishing achievement to a number, but to allow it to stand as a monument to the fellow athletes, the climbing community and the friends who helped push him to its roof. Together, we rise. #NeverStopExploring Discover More: http://bit.ly/TheNorthfaceYT
