Such Great Heights: Solo Shoots EpicTV’s “Epic Climber Spain” Series

We’re proud to see Solo featured on EpicTV, premier source for adventure sport videos. Starting back in April, Epic has been rolling out their “Epic Climber Spain” miniseries, in which they invite four of the world’s top climbers — Adam Ondra (World Cup champion), Chris Sharma, Sasha DiGiulian and Edu Marin — to take on the toughest climbs in Spain and show what it takes to become elite.

The series gives you a firsthand look at these climbers’ personalities, philosophies and strategies. The Epic production team takes you around the country, from Barcelona to Madrid, using Solo to capture both the climbs and the country in a way no other camera could. They’re currently on episode 3, which you can watch above, or start the whole series from the top (bottom?) here.
