Steve McClure makes epic climb of 6-pitch Verdon 8b super route

"Steve McClure makes epic climb of 6-pitch Verdon 8b super route" is a rock climbing video (22 minutes) published by teamBMC on April 25, 2018 with 105K views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.

Britain’s leading sport climber Steve McClure teams up with the quietly formidable Neil Mawson for a dizzying day in France’s Verdon Gorge, taking on a spectacular 6-pitch 8b “super route” high above the river. With big exposure, relentless climbing, and the pressure of linking pitch after pitch, their attempt quickly turns into more than a straightforward send when they drift off route and have to problem-solve on the fly. This film is worth watching for the mix of commitment and improvisation that only multi-pitch sport in a wild setting can deliver: the building fatigue, the route-finding decisions, and the mental reset required when plans unravel. Shot with a sharp eye for scale and atmosphere, it captures the Verdon’s sheer walls and the intensity of two elite climbers digging deep—equal parts inspiring performance and authentic adventure.
