Survival of the fittest - Brandon Clavijo

The classic 5.13 test piece Survival of the Fittest located in Lost City in Gardiner, NY. First Ascent done by Scott Franklin in 1985. Shot and edited by Turner Curran on May 3rd, 2026, two weeks after Brandon first sent on April 26th, 2026. Brandon first started working on this climb back on April 1st 2025 as his first outdoor 5.13 project. After a year’s effort, the dream came to fruition. All gear was placed on lead with the exception of the pre-clipped pitons at the crux which has become a common “tactic” nowadays.
