Following on from our first film “Climbing Blind” (2019) where we see blind climber Jesse Dufton and sight guide Molly Dufton ascend the iconic Old Man of Hoy, this film picks up the story of Jesse’s incredible climbing career. Born with a rare genetic disease; retinitis pigmentosa, Jesse no longer receives any useful information from his eyes. Despite this Jesse’s climbing has continued to progress. As well as competing on the para-circuit and making first ascents in Morocco, Jesse has managing to on-sight several E2’s.

This season Jesse’s ambition is set on a successful on-sight of an E3 and chooses the infamous “El Matador” rated 5.10d (E3/4) on the spell-binding Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, USA. What unfolds is one of the most remarkable feats of persistence and human endeavour you will ever witness.

As terrifying as it is inspiring; Jesse takes several leader falls on-route to the summit in a grueling encounter of the blind kind. If adversity in life presents an opportunity to grow then look no further than our movie “Climbing Blind II”.
