About REEL ROCK 7

The biggest stories from the climbing world, told with humor, heart, and a generous helping of mind-bending action. Featuring the greatest climbers of our time on the adventures of their lives.

La Dura Dura

Chris Sharma has been setting the bar for difficult rock climbs for 15 years, but the 19 year old Czech prodigy Adam Ondra is hot on his heels. The two strongest climbers in the world go head-to-head on a project in Catalunya, Spain, vying to establish the planet's first 5.15c / 9b+, with intense and hilarious results. Also featuring spectacular ascents from Sasha DiGiulian, Daila Ojeda, and more.  Winner of the Radical Reels Peoples Choice Award at the 2012 Banff Mountain Film Festival.

The Shark's Fin

Legendary alpinist Conrad Anker nurtured a 20 year obsession with The Shark's Fin, a spectacular unclimbed granite buttress on Mt. Meru, in the Indian Himalaya. In 2008, Anker, with Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk, endured a grueling 18 day push on the mountain, only to turn back just short of the summit. Three years later, the trio makes a tough decision to return, despite Anker's deep family ties and Ozturk's devastating ski accident, which resulted in a fractured skull and a broken neck. The Shark's Fin is adapted from a forthcoming full-length feature by Camp 4 Collective.

Wide Boyz

American offwidth climbing has spawned a counter-culture of rough and tumble characters who aren't afraid to bleed and grovel up a route. Now two cheeky Brits, Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker, are on a mission to master this bizarre form of climbing. After two years of compulsive training in their tiny cellar, the underdogs cross the pond to tackle America's gnarliest wide cracks, including Century Crack - the ultimate offwidth project. Winner of the Best Short Mountain Film Award at the 2012 Banff Mountain Film Festival.

Honnold 3.0

Alex Honnold, the world's best free soloist, has grown famous for his death-defying ropeless climbing feats. Now everyone and their dog wants to know, what will Alex do next? How does he balance pure ambition with self-preservation? He takes a step back from the constant buzz of his newfound fame to re-examine his motives, train harder than ever, and zero in on a huge new goal. After the first ascent of one of the biggest and scariest boulders ever climbed (Too Big to Flail, Bishop, CA), Honnold returns to his stomping grounds of Yosemite, CA, to attempt his most audacious feat yet - a one-day ascent of Yosemite's three biggest faces for a total of over 7,000 vertical feet. Climbing alone and mostly unprotected, in a continuous, 18-hour push through the night, Alex redefines the limits of fearlessness and endurance, while staying true to his personal motivations. Winner of the Best Film - Climbing Award at the 2012 Banff Mountain Film Festival.
