MAD in Madagascar – Climbing with Sean Villanueva & Siebe Vanhee
In August 2015, Siebe Vanhee and Sean Villanueva took off on an adventure in the Tsaranoro massif, in the south of the African island Madagascar. They spotted a major unclimbed line on Tsaranoro Atsimo Armed with a drill, skyhooks and thirst for exploration we tackled the face ground up. This was very different to other first ascents they had…

Legends.
Sad they're bolting in such a remote place. LNT??!!
Nice video, but what is the bolting and drilling ethic there? Are we able to just turn up and drill like this?
very
Ladrão não vai querer subiar aí pra roubar, da pra dormir na paz. 😅😅
God I love Sean, huge inspiration, makes me glad to be a Cork man!
what a nice adventure there♥
Holy crap… My hands and feet were soaking!!! I cant do this ahaha
Don’t try this at home😂
Waren jullie dat met “Tom test erom” die El Capitan hadden geklommen of waren dat andere Belgen 😂
Nek plese boss
How does he record while belaying
OMG I never knew they just climb till they FALL!!! Then keep doing it…crazy stuff and now I get it lol
That's funny. In urdu theirs a similar saying It's "aistha, aistha" which also translates to "slowly slowly".
I guess us westerners need to learn to slow things down a bit haha
now I found out the technique, after searching through YouTube videos m
?!!
8a++ (the French/euro scale) concerts to a 5.13c in Yosemite decimal. That is not easy climbing, let alone drilling your protection along the way. Real pros here.
I'm here because I watched les sommet des dieux and got curious about this.
Climbing that grade, at that altitude and exposure, scares me a little bit.
For those who are wondering, yes, they had portalleged the band nearby, to enjoy some live music while climbing.
Ow
Did these climbers and/or their sponsors do any investigation to understand the legality or social issues associated with their climb and drilling?
If that was covered, I missed it (certainly possible).
you are not defeating the wall, the drill is. ?? this is pointless.
Oh that’s good he has a helmet, that way if he falls he won’t get hurt at all since he’s protecting his head.
Looks like you guys could greatly benefit from a MSR Windburner with a hanging system for portaledge meals. Cooking with the whisper light in your lap looks super sketchy.
When there is a climbing trip with Sean, you know for sure that its gonna be a great adventure with good vibes! <3
