Venezuela Jungle Jam

Four Belgian climber-musicians, Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll, Nicolas Favresse, Stephane Hanssens and Jean-Louis Wertz, spend more than ten days hanging on a 500-meter fully overhanging wall deep in the Venezuelan jungle, looking for a line to the summit of Amuri Tepui. Villanueva O'Driscoll directed it for the Club Alpin Belge.

The ingredients are the ones this crew is known for: brutal jungle approaches, hard climbing, big falls, portaledge bivouacs, and improvised concerts played off the wall itself, all of it under the noise of a huge waterfall. It is a serious ascent filmed by people who refuse to be solemn about it. If you want big wall climbing with the humor left in, start here.
