Reel Rock goes big in its 20th year! Celebrating two decades since its founding, the world’s greatest climbing film festival returns to theaters this fall with a blood-pumping lineup of four world premiere films, featuring:
- Olympic champion Janja Garnbret sets her sights on the legendary climb Bibliographie.
- Michaela Kiersch goes on a global sending spree, becoming the first woman ever to climb both V15 boulders and 5.15 routes.
- Ben Mayforth redefines adaptive climbing in his intense pursuit of 5.13.
- Colin Haley attempts a historic solo winter ascent of Cerro Torre.
Janja Garnbret has nothing left to prove indoors—two Olympic golds, and more World Cup victories than any climber alive. So she heads to Céüse to attempt Bibliographie, one of the hardest routes on Earth, to discover just how far she can push herself. But when her summer project stretches into a grueling, multi-year odyssey, the woman who is used to winning is forced to confront her weaknesses like never before.
Follow Michaela Kiersch on a historic global sending spree in this action-packed celebration of power and grace on the rock. From iconic Swiss boulders to first ascents in Vermont and Morocco, and radical routes in Austria, Michaela crushes it all, becoming the first woman to climb both V15 and 5.15.
Ben Mayforth was never supposed to walk, let alone climb. Born with several congenital birth defects including spina bifida, his childhood was a series of life-altering surgeries and painful recoveries that left the lower half of his body with limited strength and sensation. But all these struggles gave Ben a fierce internal drive, and the moment he touched a wall, Ben realized that
climbing “was what I was born to do”. Having devoted his life to the sport, Ben now intends to make paraclimbing history on a sustained 5.13 sport climb that will force him to transcend his physical limits.
Colin Haley is one of his generation’s great alpinists. Since the age of twelve, he’s been obsessed with Cerro Torre - the 5,000 foot spire of granite and rime that juts from the Patagonian Ice Field. In a desperate bid to make the first ever winter solo of this forbidding peak, Colin is pushed to the limits of human.
