"Black Diamond Presents: Hard Sends with Seb Bouin—Vidra La Vida (9b/+)" is a rock climbing video (32 minutes) published by Black Diamond Equipment on September 23, 2025 with 71K views. Available to watch free on CouchClimbs.

Seb Bouin travels to Croatia in this Black Diamond production to take on Vidra La Vida, his own freshly established 9b/+ route and the hardest sport climb in the country. The film follows the French powerhouse as he works through one of the most technically demanding lines on limestone, a route that demands not just raw strength but a mastery of body positioning that few climbers in the world can even approach. What sets this film apart is its showcase of a genuinely unique crux: a full 360-degree spin mid-route that has to be seen to be believed. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Croatian rock, Vidra La Vida is as visually stunning as it is physically punishing. At just over thirty minutes, this is a tight, focused piece that delivers the full arc of a hard send without any filler — pure climbing, extraordinary movement, and a glimpse into what elite performance at the absolute frontier of the sport actually looks like.
