Corona-cation | Nate Draughn

Just days before the world hit pause, Corona-cation follows Nate Draughn and Taylor McNeill as they squeeze in a last-minute escape to Utah’s spring climbing zones. With the shutdown looming, their quick-hit road trip becomes a timely snapshot of that strange in-between moment—chasing stone, sun, and movement while everything else starts to close in. In just over six minutes, the film packs in crisp lines, desert light, and the simple joy of trying hard with a good partner. It’s worth watching for the urgency in every session, the relaxed road-trip energy, and the reminder of why climbers chase these windows whenever they open: a few perfect days, a sharp focus on the next hold, and the kind of freedom you don’t take for granted after it’s gone.
