Pull follows one of the top lead climbers as he explores the ever-changing world of climbing.
This full length short lead climbing documentary will make you come along for a mind-bending breakthrough journey of epic portions, several decades or more in the making. The makers of Pull have captured a story about the future of our sport and lead climbing. In many ways this is a look into the most future imaginable.
"Keep your eyes on the future, because when it's here you won't be able to see, it is invisible." - Lead Climber Jeffrey Paul Snyder
Pull will receive critical acclaim

when i first read the quote: "A brilliant look at the future of climbing", i assumed the video must be satire... or at least hyperbole.
how wrong i was!
not since chouinard's treatise on clean climbing or messner's manifesto on murdering have i seen something so brilliant!
the days of bolts will soon be but a memory.
my lids have been pulled back and i can see clearly now as well: clean/leave no trace [chain] climbing ethics is where the future of face climbing is at...
thanks jeffrey paul snyder [and team]!

Definition of pull or yank someone's chain in English:
informally tease someone by leading them to believe something untrue: he's just pulling your chain.

I sure wish inspirational and instructional material like that had been available when I was starting to climb.

Thank you everyone at supertopo.com!
Our goal was not to make claim that lead climbing is better than bolts or crack climbing, or if it is okay to climb on wet rock. Passion, experience, and education are all that matter... go forth!

Lead climbing is definitely becoming a lost art. When I learned to climb 35 years ago, it was also from a book, and by recruiting friends to come out and belay me. I had about 5 stoppers and the same number of carabiners, and 150' of goldline rope that I used for caving. I remember on my first lead, I had a US army issue machete & holster on my belt, which almost slid out when I was pulling a roof move. This is absolutely the best way to learn to climb, just go out on an adventure.

The dropping a chain idea in that video is pretty cool.
You don't need to drill any bolts and you clip your pro when ever you need.
I'm getting some chains and hangin em all over the Cookie cliff.
All ya need to bring then is quick draws.
It will be da bomb of da future ......

Cute. Keep at it guys. Entertaining. That's the whole point isn't it.
Chain is an interesting idea. Easier and cleaner than bolts. You would have to factor the plus weight of the chain in any shock loading scenario. The routes depicted here were very short.

Yeah, Werner, so now, as you're getting ready to rappel the route, instead of yelling "ROPE", you yell "CHAIN"!

At which point the belayer yanks Werner's chain. Which is only fitting, cuz Werner has been yanking our chains since the dawn of ST.
