Cool vid with nice drone footage though it looks like a teaser for something longer possibly. The slackline one (linked at the end) is also impressive. As for the climbing, impressive routes and climbing, but then 5.13 is far below 5.15 that he's capable of.

I suppose you climb the same French grades on gear as you do on bolts. Daft comment. Good to see a top young sport climber doing really hard trad. Inspiring film with excellent non gimmicky use of a drone (for once!).

Not that daft! Most years both myself and Pete climb harder on trad than we do on Sport. That's the mark of a proper trad climber ;-) I haven't seen the video yet, but if Enzo hasn't squeezed his way up something at least 14a, then he's just cruising his way up... Unless he's Euro lay backing?!?!
