Climbing – Speed

This is a video presentation of Leonardo Gontero, an italian young climber.
I directed, shot, edited the video and above all I enjoyed doing it!
After shooting the video more people asked me if I changed in post production the speed on the climbing footage with Leonardo. It was funny as I didn’t ever expected a question like that which came from more than one person. No, I didn’t. In fact, I got all the footage on an improvised shooting session, while Leonardo was training using weights on his waist. He was fast enough even with the weights on!

NEW*** Leonardo Gontero won the Speed World Cup during the Arco Rock Master 2012, becoming like this the first fastest italian climber.
