Riders On The Storm: Siebe's Crux Cut | The North Face

Siebe Vanhee has long dreamed of making the first free ascent of the legendary climb Riders on the Storm, in Patagonia, Chile. In 2024 he teamed up with Nico Favresse and Sean Villanueva O'Driscoll for an epic 18-day attempt. The biggest question mark is pitch 17 - a spectacular line through thin cracks and a blank face that's never been free climbed. Watch Siebe go to battle in this exclusive clip, adapted from the full Reel Rock 19 film, Riders on the Storm.
