The Enchanting Triple documents a climbing journey through the Stuart Range, a jagged collection of peaks in the center of Washington state. A decade of dedication to these mountains from ME Pro partner Jens Holsten and Blake Herrington laid the groundwork for this three-peak enchainment. Although Holsten pioneered two of the routes used in the link-up, it took a new friendship with Herrington to finally complete the goal. Shot live on the day of the ascents, this film is a beautiful and raw look into two regular guys and the backyard peaks that define their passion.
