- "A story about Klemen Bečan's contribution to Slovenian climbing scene
through developing climbing area called Osp, especially its most famous crag, where the hardest rock climbing routes are found, called "Pajkova streha", which means Spider's roof. The story follows Klemen's achievments in developing and climbing the marvelous cave, full of limestone tufas; since the year of 2007, Klemen bolted 7 popular routes, including two of the hardest rock climbs in Slovenia, Halupca 1979 (9a) and Waterworld (9a), which Klemen sended few months ago. The period of bolting and climbing was ended with upgrade of all the rutes; in late march 2014, Klemen bolted a 180 m long, multi-pitch route, which he graded around 8b(?). In the movie, you can also see the appearance of a young, talented Slovenian climber of the new generation Domen Škofic, who sended Klemen's project Water World, and also one of the most legendary Slovenian female climbers in history, Martina Čufar Potard, a successful competion and rock climber.

Hueco Rock Rodeo 2014
- "Event Video for the 21st Annual Hueco Rock Rodeo!
It was a truly awesome event this year, held to benefit the Hueco Tanks
State Historic Site, outside of El Paso, TX.
"For the past three years I have helped run the Hueco Rock Rodeo, and after each event I have had the privilege of saying it was the best Hueco Rock Rodeo yet. Once again the 21st Hueco Rock Rodeo gave me the opportunity to say it was the largest and most excellent rodeo to date. Without my predecessors, sponsors and volunteers it would be impossible. Thanks everyone especially 5.10, Adidas, the AAC and HTSHP. "

Destination Fontainebleau
- "One of the largest and best bouldering destinations in the world.
Situated just south of Paris the forest of Fontainebleau spreads over 25,000 hectares and has an abundance of climbs of all style and difficulty; welcoming millions of climbers a year. The area has been developing since the 50’s and continues to grow, hosting some of the world’s most iconic and hardest boulder problems.
This film was shot over a 3 week trip to the forest, where we learnt many things. William can recall every single climb known to man, Joe knows how to let everyone in the forest know he’s fallen off, Nathan tries too hard and injures himself, and I am king of table tennis. Also we climb a few quality, desperate, and classic boulder problems.

Always Above Us
- "Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson climb the Nutcracker
Leading the life of a climber involves a tremendous amount of sacrifice and hardship, but for team athletes Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson, there’s no living without it.
In 1999, on an expedition in Tibet, team alpine climbers Conrad Anker and Kris Erickson lost their good friend and exploration companion, Alex Lowe, to an avalanche that narrowly missed Conrad himself. To preserve Alex’s honor, Conrad and Kris establish and send the Nutcracker, a new ice climb route in Hyalite Canyon, Montana. Their story, and climb, are captured here by Sherpas Cinema.

Joe Kinder Sends Maquina Muerte, 5.14+
- "When it comes to sending hard projects, even the best climbers don't always know when—or even if—it's going to happen. You bring hope and intent and training...and then you go to work.
For Black Diamond Athlete Joe Kinder, Maquina Muerte was that kind of climb. Steep and physical, the southern-Utah line is a testpiece of power and resolve, culminating in a 'bastard undercling' that protects the crux. "This thing gave me grief," Joe says of making the 5.14+'s first ascent. "But it was so nice to complete."

Crown Jewel
- Crown Jewel:
"One of Tahoe’s finest unclimbed lines, Crown Jewel, was sent by Kyle O’Meara this past summer. It climbs a perfectly clean 30 foot overhanging wall with sustained moves throughout. The boulder sits in a spectacular position perched above the Phantom Spires.
About Time In The Pines:
Over the past few years a select group of hard climbing Tahoe locals have been scouring the area, spending a ton of time under the big pine trees and secretly picking off world class boulder problems. The Time In The Pines series is a tip of the hat to the hard work that the select few have put in.

Crack School Episode 8 - Advanced Hands
-
"In these more advanced sessions Tom and Pete looks at more advanced techniques for crack climbing
- when the crack doesn't do what you want to - when it's too wide, too thin or non existent!!! They look at what tricks and techniques you need in your armoury to take your jamming one stage further.
Wild Country ‘Crack School’ is a series of eight short videos designed to utilise the skills and knowledge of our climbers Tom Randall and Pete Whittaker to give an introduction to crack climbing. Over 8 episodes the guys cover all widths of crack: Fingers, Hands, Fists and Offwidths as well as looking at the skills of gear placement and taping up. In the first episodes of Crack School Tom and Pete looked at the basic techniques of crack climbing, the all important building blocks for any would be crack climber - how to jam, what to do with the feet and when to place gear.
As Tom Randall says: ‘Crack climbing well is a fantastic feeling and learning how to climb cracks opens up a world of routes, and indeed some of the best routes in the world: from Brown and Whillans’ classics in the UK (try doing Cenotaph Corner or the Sloth without being able to jam) through to Yosemite and Indian Creek in the USA. And remember, the best climbers always have a variety of techniques at their disposal and having a variety of techniques always makes you a better climber!!’

Leather Nose 8B+
-
"This story is about the first 8B+ in Russia, which has been opened by Artem Petrakov last september at the newly developed area called Lietlahti. Artem named the line Kozhanyi Nos (leather nose) in memory of his dog, which died on the same day, as he climbed the problem.
История про то, как скалолаз из Москвы Артем Петраков первым пролез потрясающий проект по нависанию в Лиетлахти, ныне известный под названием Кожаный Нос (Артем назвал трассу в память о своей собаке, умершей в тот же день, когда он пролез проект). По словам Артема, это самая сложная трасса из тех, что он пролез (а список его достижений довольно внушителен). Артем предложил категорию сложности 8В+, чего прежде не случалось на территории Российской Федерации!

Statement of Youth 8a
- 30 years later Ben Moon revisits his 1984 8a, Statement of Youth.
"It seems hard to believe but it was 30 years ago back in 1984, aged just 18 that I made the first ascent of the UK's 2nd 8a Statement of Youth. At the time it caused quite a stir in the climbing world not because of it?s difficulty but because I had used 7 bolts to climb it. To those not familiar with climbing in the 1980s this might seem pretty strange but back then sport climbing in the UK didn't exist. Although it would take a few years this was all going to change and Statement played a big part in this change. During the past 30 years I have made several 1st ascents around the world but there are none that I am more proud of than Statement of Youth. Located at Lower Pen-Trwyn (LPT to most people) on the Great Orme in North Wales the route takes a line up the right-hand side of the steep left hand section of the cliff. With no particular crux section but very sustained at the grade it's a right of passage for the sport climber aspiring to the magical 8th grade.
To celebrate its 30th anniversary I recently made a trip back to LPT with my good friend Steve Lewis to make a short film about that summer and the first ascent of Statement of Youth. I hope you enjoy." - Ben Moon

Lead Now Tour - India
- "India marks stop #6 of Marmot's Lead Now Tour (www.leadnowtour.org/), a global tour to inspire people through rock climbing and raise $10,000 a month for twelve different non-profit organizations.
6 months deep into travel, the Lead Now team finds a new rhythm in India during the month of December. With 5am daily wakeup calls to work India’s hardest sport climb before sunrise, Paige Claassen and 2 of India’s strongest climbers – Tuhin Satarkar and Sandeep Kumar Maity – navigate not only heat but the cultural barriers of a country deeply rooted in tradition. In a culture where women are expected to keep the home, dress conservatively, and live under the guidance of men, a woman climbing Ganesh (5.14a/8b+) is an unexpected event. Follow the Lead Now team deeper into the struggles of women in India as Ruchira Gupta, Emmy winning founder of Apne Aap Women Worldwide, describes her work to end sex trafficking and forced prostitution in India, and encourage the hope, empowerment, and shared courage of women around the world.

- Episode 3: "Climbing legends Stefan Glowacz (Germany) and Chris Sharma (USA) team up to master a climbing route in the Majlis al Jinn cave in Oman. The route has never been attempted before and counts as the world’s longest roof climb with 13 pitches. Both athletes descended into the bowels of the earth into the giant Majlis al Jinn Cave to climb the probably biggest roof this planet has to offer. No one has taken on this challenge so far, the idea is unique. Glowacz and Sharma climbed from the bottom of the Majlis al Jinn Cave back to Earth’s surface.
