Drew Ruana redpointing Just Do It 5.14c at Smith Rock

Fifteen-year-old phenom Drew Ruana heads to Smith Rock, Oregon, with one goal in mind: to redpoint the legendary Just Do It (5.14c). Filmed on a Veterans Day holiday trip and shared on the christineruana channel, this 23-minute ascent follows the focus, setbacks, and resolve behind a milestone send on one of America’s most iconic hard sport routes. What makes this worth watching is the full arc of a redpoint—learning sequences, managing nerves, and coming back sharper after each attempt—until everything clicks. It’s a front-row seat to elite-level movement and youthful composure on steep, technical climbing, and a reminder of why Smith Rock is a proving ground: precision, patience, and pure commitment when the margins are razor thin.
