Why don’t you pour yourself a warm cup of tea or a nice glass of wine, grab your most cosy blanket, sit on your comfy sofa and join us for our Climbing Film Festival evening? As we had to cancel all our bouldering sessions, we made a selection of 5 short movies for our film festival. These amazing adventurers will take us back to our beloved mountains and bring us some inspiration for the future. Ready for when we can climb and spend time outside again!

MAD IN MADAG

In August 2015, Siebe Vanhee and Sean Villanueva took off on an adventure in the Tsaranoro massif, in the south of the African island Madagascar. They spotted a major unclimbed line on Tsaranoro Atsimo Armed with a drill, skyhooks and thirst for exploration we tackled the face ground up. This was very different to other first ascents they had done, as they usually do not bring a power drill, and very rarely place a bolt. But these walls are so blank and deprived of cracks and other features to place natural protection. Going ground up into this unknown vertical ocean of granite was very exciting and gave them quite the challenge. This video shows their adventure.

WASFIA – A WOMAN’S EPIC JOURNEY TO CLIMB 7 MOUNTAINS

National Geographic Emerging Explorer and Adventurer of the Year Wasfia Nazreen doesn’t just climb for the thrill; she climbs for a cause. The first Bangladeshi to scale the Seven Summits, Wasfia has made it her purpose to brave these climbs for the sake of something larger – for the women of Bangladesh. Lyrical and poetic, this short documentary, shot entirely on an iPhone 6S, is a reflective character portrait that takes us from the depths of Wasfia’s struggles to the highest peaks on the planet, as we explore what it means to pursue the unknown.
