Acorn To Arabella · video

What this video covers

Steve and Robin are overwintering their boat, Arabella, at a floating dock in Corner Brook, Newfoundland.▶ 0:00 The harbor freezes, but the ice remains stationary, allowing the vessel to remain safely moored with access to shore power and local amenities.▶ 0:31 While based in Corner Brook, the crew explores the nearby Cedar Cove, where a container ship remains grounded after losing power and drifting into the cliff-lined bay.▶ 3:55 Salvage crews are constructing a cable-trolley system using Dyneema and heavy-duty winches to offload the vessel before winter weather prevents water access.▶ 6:06 Separately, the crew completes a five-pitch multi-pitch sport climb accessed via the Bear Head Trail.▶ 7:57 They navigate a loose talus field by maintaining a horizontal offset to avoid triggering rockfall on one another.▶ 10:35 During the ascent, they utilize a drone mounted to a pack-rig to capture footage of the final "money pitch," a steep dihedral.▶ 14:33 The route is well-bolted and moderate, providing a controlled environment to regain multi-pitch experience.▶ 16:43
