Sometimes a relationship—no matter how hard you try to make it work, no matter how much time or energy you put into it, no matter how many times you go back for more—just wasn’t meant to be. And the time comes to let it go. Any climber who’s ever been shut down—despite repeat attempts—by a problem or difficult line knows this frustration. This humorous short captures the end of such an affair in just three minutes: the frustration, intensity, fatigue and, ultimately, the painful realization that it’s just not going to work out.
