FINALIST #1 — PERMANENT MIDNIGHT Low (V16)

Written by:

Every once in a while, someone steps out of the shadows and punches a new line into the history books. No fanfare, no hype. Just force.

Clement Lechaptois —a climber you’ve probably never heard of—put down Permanent Midnight Low like a space ghost moving through a security system.

The video starts quiet. No title card explosion, no insanely paced music. Just Clement explaining the creation of a master piece. Projecting in the woods, alone, like a guy who’s been let into a secret world.

What follows is maybe the cleanest narrative Mellow has ever dropped:

  • Clement climbed other sick lines on the bloc.
  • Clement works it the problem with Daniel and Giuliano, sticks with it, and figures out the chaos.
  • You watch the process in real-time. No beta dump, just progression.
  • Then the send. No drama. Just fire.

It’s raw. It’s earned. It’s weirdly cinematic.

This is Mellow Rock Games at its best: real climbing, real tension, real skin-on-stone. You don’t need to know who Clement is. You just need to know this thing is hard. And that he figured it out.


Rating:
🔘 Story: ★★★★☆
🔘 Cinematography: ★★★☆☆
🔘 Hype-to-Substance Ratio: 0:100
🔘 Future Points: High

Why it’s a finalist:
Because it’s everything most climbing media isn’t—quiet, obsessive, and absolutely sick.


Stay tuned for Finalist #2.
We’re not stopping here.

— SUPER futuristic
Less marketing. More moonboard scars.
