Babsi Zangerl

Babsi Zangerl is an Austrian climber whose career spans sport, trad, multi‑pitch and big‑wall climbing; public records describe her as one of the strongest all‑round female climbers, active across the main rock disciplines. The two El Capitan‑centered films in this collection place her in the specific context of pushing sustained free standards on Yosemite’s big walls alongside partners such as Jacopo Larcher.

Babsi Zangerl & Jacopo Larcher vs Zodiac captures the pair’s effort on Zodiac, a long, sustained line on El Capitan that had seen very few free ascents when they climbed it in 2016. The ten‑minute piece is a straightforward account of two climbers working a demanding big‑wall route: rope‑team rhythm, rest management, and the repeated, focused effort required on long pitches. It records how technical sequences stack and how two climbers coordinate movement and endurance on sustained granite.

FREE ASCENT of El Capitan’s 2nd Hardest Route | ft. Babsi Zangerl & Jacopo Larcher documents what the filmmakers present as the route’s second free ascent—Magic Mushroom (VI 5.14a). The concise edit concentrates on the climbing sequences that make a big‑wall 5.14a notable: sustained free climbing, tight rope‑team shots and the way multiple hard pitches combine to create a high‑end free route. Together these films offer viewers a focused look at the tactics, partnership and persistent effort behind contemporary El Capitan free ascents.
