ORBAYU [full movie] a climbing Odyssey with Nina Caprez and Cédric Lachat

Orbayu is a 500‑metre, 13‑pitch line on the Naranjo de Bulnes (Picu Urriellu) in the Picos de Europa. The route sits around 2,000 m of elevation and the film records an attempt in spring 2014 by Nina Caprez and Cédric Lachat; the route’s sustained difficulty culminates in a crux pitch rated around 8c and the climbing carries significant exposure. The film is directed by Mathieu Rivoire and Julien Nadiras and uses photography from Julien Nadiras, Diego Defila and Sam Bié. The film is useful as a record of a long, highly committed multi‑pitch sport climb at altitude and as an exploration of the mental side of trying a single, sustained route: the narration and editing emphasize the balance of psyche and team decisions that influence success on a route of this length and difficulty. The sound design and images keep the focus tight on the climbing and the terrain, so the piece reads more as a climbing document than a conventional athlete profile.
