00:00
My name is Jimmy Chin and we are here in Los Angeles to get ready to shoot with Alex Honnold and Jared Leto who are coming here to climb.
00:08
Oh yeah, that looks pretty good.
00:27
I've climbed and filmed and shot with Jared and Alex a few times, mainly in Yosemite.
00:33
Jared likes to come out and you know, often times when we're out in the valley, he'll check in and be like, hey, are you guys out there?
00:40
And we end up climbing with him a fair amount at this point, actually.
00:45
Have you climbed here before? No. Look at this place, it's sick.
00:48
Do you have any 5-2s here? Whatever, you're fine. 5-3?
00:52
I think Jared and Alex have a really good climbing relationship. They kind of get each other.
00:57
How are you feeling? Oh, you look muscular. I know, doesn't he look jacked?
01:02
And I think Jared loves climbing and we all love climbing, so it's pretty easy.
01:09
Dude, are you kidding me? Look at this. So what are you doing here?
01:13
I'm going to do this yellow 13A. You got me? Okay. Let's see how this goes.
01:17
I didn't really look at it. I got no plan. I'm just going to charge and see how it feels.
01:22
Time to crush. All right, here we go.
01:24
Nice. The thing about shooting climbing is that your ropes can't be in the frame.
01:38
So once you've rigged the ropes and you get up there, you have to coil them up and sling them off of your harness.
01:45
And it's actually a pretty good simulation of what we're doing on El Cap when we were shooting with Alex for Free Solo.
01:53
You hear it a lot in the film where I say I'm going to go jog up the lines.
01:59
This is jogging. It's basically these ascenders on the fixed line that we put up.
02:04
These have seen a lot of mileage, huh?
02:06
Yeah, those are the jugs from the movie. Are they? Yeah.
02:21
Jimmy, they got you working today, huh?
02:23
I know.
02:25
Okay, I think we're good.
02:27
Okay, now it's real. I gotta do it.
02:28
Okay, you're good, Jared.
02:30
Yes! Come on!
02:36
Wait, I'm back-clipped.
02:38
You're back-clipped. Classic. Don't worry, Jared. It's called Z-clipping.
02:41
Z-clipped.
02:47
Actually, I'm getting a little swing. Do you mind hanging there?
02:51
Hang?
02:52
Yeah.
02:53
Take?
02:54
I gotcha.
02:55
He wants me to wait, which I was happy to do.
02:57
Yeah, you just gotta do what the director tells you.
03:00
It's called a technical take.
03:01
No, no, don't worry. We don't count this.
03:03
I was feeling pretty good, though.
03:04
Yeah, you look good.
03:06
Can you down-climb that move?
03:08
Hold that right there.
03:12
I think that's pretty good.
03:14
Let's do one more like that.
03:17
Okay, go for it.
03:18
Okay.
03:19
Maybe redo those moves again.
03:21
Okay, I got it.
03:22
Just that same move. Back again, if you can.
03:26
Sorry.
03:27
Ready?
03:28
Yup.
03:30
And then back.
03:32
Hold on right there.
03:33
Woo!
03:34
Yeah.
03:37
Getting the pump.
03:39
Jeez, Luis.
03:40
Man, it's hard work being a rock climber.
03:42
I know. I know.
03:43
Holy guacamole.
03:44
Welcome to Pro Climbing Life.
03:46
Okay, we got it.
03:47
Thanks, Jared.
03:48
Looking tight.
03:49
Oh, man.
03:50
I need to put that into my training regime.
03:51
Photo shoots on the wall.
03:52
No.
03:53
Bro, that was hard.
03:54
That was really fucking hard.
03:55
I said to him, who knew that modeling and rock climbing together were like this brutal sport.
03:56
Dude, imagine doing that stuff on our cap, you know?
03:58
Like, hanging and taking pictures, like, yeah, looking beautiful.
03:59
And you're like, oh my God, I'm so pumped.
04:00
Just sitting up there.
04:01
And you're like, oh my God, I'm so pumped.
04:03
Just sitting up there.
04:04
Yeah.

Oh my God.

I'm so pumped.
04:08

Just sitting up there.
04:10
I'm so pumped.
04:11
In the back of the day, you're like, oh my God, I'm so pumped.
04:12
I need to put that into my training regime.
04:14
Photo shoots on the wall.
04:15
No.
04:16
Bro, that was hard.
04:17
That was really fucking hard.
04:18
I said to him, who knew that modeling and rock climbing together were like this brutal
04:20
sport.
04:21
Dude, imagine doing that stuff on our cap, you know?
04:23
Like hanging and taking pictures, like, yeah, looking beautiful.
04:26
and you're like, oh my god, I'm so pumped.
04:27
Just sitting up there.
04:35
OK.
04:36
And then a couple with.
04:37
Don't act awkward.
04:38
With me.
04:40
And then you go in for the end chain.
04:41
Oh, yeah.
04:42
Yeah, that's what you did.
04:44
Hey, no, it's really weird.
