Chris Weidner Climbs "The Green Mile" (5.14c) at Age 50 (OFFICIAL)
2025 · 14 min · Sport Climbing, Documentary
At age 50 Chris Weidner completes "The Green Mile" (5.14c) at Jailhouse Rock, California. The short film presents the ascent itself — Weidner on the route with Kelby Reyes on belay — framed and edited by Jon Glassberg for Louder Than Eleven. The credits on the upload list the climb as Weidner's first 5.14c, and the footage is focused on the climbing and the moment of the send. The piece is valuable as a straightforward document of a personal milestone: an experienced climber pushing into a new grade later in life. For climbers interested in pacing, movement economy, and how a veteran athlete manages attempts and composure on steep sport terrain, the film offers clean climbing footage and a clear record of the route, grade, and outcome without extraneous framing.
