In December 2022, Keenan Takahashi made the first ascent of A Little Life (8B+) in the Buttermilks. Antigrav accompanied the American climber during the ascent process and in their latest production shows what is behind the first ascent of an impressive highball.
Keenan Takahashi is no stranger to scary and difficult highballs. And yet: If, in addition to the height, the potential for falls and the technical difficulties involved in climbing, there is also the element of uncertainty as to whether a line is even possible on the first ascent, all the ingredients for a big project are there. Thanks to the recent production of Antigrav, you can see the American professional climber on his way to a little life (8B+) accompany you up close.
