Daniel Woods goes all-in on one of the fiercest bouldering projects on the planet: Return of the Sleepwalker. Building on Jimmy Web’s iconic Sleepwalker, this film follows the push to add a brutal sit-start and turn an already legendary line into a full-on battle at the very top of the grade.
What makes it so gripping is the raw, step-by-step fight: the failed attempts, the dialed details, the emotion, and the thin margin between progress and shutdown. If you like seeing what elite bouldering really demands—precision, obsession, and a willingness to go deep—this is a front-row seat.
Siurana, nestled in the mountains of Catalonia, Spain, is one of the most celebrated sport climbing destinations in the world. This EpicTV destination guide takes viewers through the dramatic limestone walls and overhanging faces that have made Siurana a must-visit location for climbers of all levels, from beginners tackling 5c routes to elite athletes pushing into 9b+ territory across more than 2000 routes in the area.
What makes this film worth watching is its honest portrayal of what Siurana has to offer — powerful, pumpy sequences on steep rock packed with demanding crimps and technical movement. Whether you're planning your first climbing trip to Spain or looking for your next hard project, this guide captures the raw appeal of one of Europe's finest crags and gives you a real sense of why climbers keep returning to push their limits on these iconic walls.
In Black Diamond Presents: Big Walls to Low Balls, Alex Honnold steps away from the towering objectives he’s famous for and takes you into the smaller, subtler side of his climbing life in Red Rocks. What starts as expectations of endless big-wall grandeur turns into a tour of the compact projects he uses to stay sharp and expand his toolkit.
It’s a quick hit of Honnold’s mindset: confidence comes from range, not just reputation. Watch for the contrast between “big send” legend and everyday training sessions on sandstone—where precision, control, and comfort on the rock get built one low ball at a time.
Everest for Mountaineers is a feature-length expedition documentary following Brendan Madden and Patrick McKnight as they train, travel, and commit to a 2018 push toward the highest summit on Earth from the Chinese side.
More than a summit montage, it leans into the full arc of the objective: long preparation, hypoxic training, the logistics of base camp life, and the stark reality of moving and thinking in the death zone. If you like big-mountain process, decision-making under stress, and the pull of one more step upward, this one delivers.
Dean Potter’s “Free Solo Climbing With A Parachute” captures a rare moment in Yosemite history: a visionary climber pushing into his self-described “dark arts,” blending free soloing with the last-resort promise of a BASE rig. This remastered and extended cut revisits his 2008 FreeBASE ascent of The Rostrum, finishing through the infamous Alien Roof.
What makes it unmissable is the uneasy tension between mastery and consequence—moving fast and unroped on steep terrain, with only a parachute and commitment as backup. It’s a sharp portrait of a singular mind in the Valley, and a glimpse into a bold, controversial idea that still feels ahead of its time.
Chris Sharma’s first ascent of Es Pontás is a masterclass in imagination and persistence: a wildly aesthetic line climbing the underside of a freestanding limestone arch above the Mediterranean, where every mistake ends in a clean splash rather than a catch.
It’s worth watching for the sheer drama of psicobloc at its most committing—repeated falls, a huge dyno, and the final sequence that turns a dream into a modern classic. Beyond the send, the film captures why deep water soloing is so captivating: pure movement, high stakes, and a setting that feels almost unreal.
Adam Ondra takes viewers on an intimate, uncut journey through one of his most personally challenging routes: Victimas Perez, a 9a at Margalef, Spain. In this commented climb, Ondra narrates six attempts across three days on a steep overhang that demands relentless two-finger pocket pulling, power endurance, and a devilish final crux that repeatedly turned him around.
What makes this film exceptional is the raw honesty Ondra brings to his own struggles. Far from a highlight reel, it is a detailed, self-analyzed record of a route he describes as his absolute nemesis, originally a side-project during his Perfecto Mundo campaign. Watching one of the world's best climbers dissect failure and persevere through bad skin, pumped arms, and a foot slip on the final headwall is both humbling and deeply inspiring for climbers at any level.
On May 10–11, 1996, a sudden storm turned Everest’s summit push into a desperate fight for survival. Storm Over Everest revisits that day through the eyes of renowned climber and filmmaker David Breashears, who returns to the mountain to reconstruct what happened when multiple teams were trapped high above Camp 4 in a brutal blizzard.
More than a disaster chronicle, this film digs into the split-second decisions, exhaustion, and thin margins that define high-altitude mountaineering. With a clear, step-by-step account of the descent into the death zone—and the human stories behind the headlines—it’s a gripping watch that leaves you thinking about risk, leadership, and what it really costs to stand on top of the world.
In the summer of 2019, Shawn Raboutou heads to Rocklands, South Africa to take on "Livin' Large"—a striking, 8-meter high arete and one of the most intimidating highball boulders in the world. The film follows his process and the moment he seals the third ascent of this modern testpiece at V16 (8C+).
What makes this worth watching is the blend of raw difficulty and real consequence: powerful movement stacked above a serious landing, where precision and composure matter as much as strength. If you love seeing top-level bouldering pushed into the highball realm, this is a short, high-stakes hit of focus, commitment, and control.
Julia Chanourdie steps into rare air with her send of Eagle-4 (9b/5.15b) in Saint Léger du Ventoux, France—becoming the third woman ever to climb the grade. This short film follows the drive, doubt, and determination behind one of the hardest routes on the planet.
More than a send story, it’s a window into what it takes to keep showing up when every move feels impossible: dialing the sequences, managing fear, and committing when the outcome is uncertain. If you love high-stakes sport climbing and the mindset that fuels breakthrough performances, this one delivers.
