Of a Lifetime is Jérôme Tanon’s intimate expedition film following the legendary De Le Rue family as Xavier, Victor, and 18-year-old Mila sail across the Drake Passage to Antarctica in search of steep, untouched lines. Through Mila’s personal diary entries, the story becomes a coming-of-age journey—an initiation into the demands and wonder of big-mountain riding at the edge of the world.
This is the kind of adventure you don’t stumble into: long crossings, relentless cold, and committing terrain where every decision matters. What makes it unforgettable is the blend of scale and closeness—vast Antarctic walls contrasted with a family passing down experience, courage, and restraint—capturing that rare feeling of chasing something truly once-in-a-lifetime.
Magnus Midtbø links up with Alex Honnold for another round of climbing—and it quickly turns into a full-on endurance hangout. Filmed in the USA, it’s a rare look at what happens when two very different climbing styles and personalities share the same day, the same rock, and the same push to keep things “EXTREME.”
What makes this worth watching is the mix of elite ability and real-time problem solving: warm-ups, banter, small wins, and the moments where strong climbers still have to fight for every move. If you like climbing content that feels less like a highlight reel and more like you’re there for the whole session, this delivers.
Deep in the Red Rocks outside Las Vegas, Sean Bailey turns his focus to SHAOLIN, a long-teased testpiece boulder sitting right beside the classic problem Trieste.

This film is a front-row seat to modern top-end bouldering: microscopic progress, hard-earned beta, and the moment a project finally breaks open. If you like watching a climber solve something that’s resisted the best for seasons on end, SHAOLIN delivers that rare mix of tension, precision, and payoff.
Magnus Midtbø heads to Norway’s sea cliffs for a deep water soloing session where the only “rope” is the water below. Alongside fellow Norwegian Sondre Berg, he sizes up a towering line that turns every move into a real test of nerve.
What makes this one pop is the pure, unfiltered exposure: big air beneath your feet, slippery stakes, and the mental battle of committing when hesitation is the real crux. If you like your climbing equal parts athletic and terrifying, this is a front-row seat to the adrenaline—and the satisfying relief when it all comes together.
Arc'teryx Presents: Ground Up follows Amity Warme and Brent Barghahn as they commit to a bold, ground-up free-climbing push on El Capitan, taking on the Pineapple Express variation of El Niño. Over eight demanding days on one of the world’s most iconic walls, they battle shifting weather, fragile rock, and the unglamorous reality of big-wall life—while Amity works through a serious finger injury.
What makes this film hit is its focus on style, partnership, and headspace: the slow-burn tension of earning every pitch, the problem-solving that multiplies when you can’t just “try again tomorrow,” and the emotional swings from doubt to momentum to the final push. If you love big-wall climbing for its grit and commitment, this is a front-row seat to what it takes when the crux isn’t just the grade—it’s keeping it together all the way to the top.
Olympic champion and World Cup legend Janja Garnbret heads to Fontainebleau to take on one of bouldering’s most celebrated checklists: the “Big Five.” In this fast-paced film, she links power, precision, and poise across a set of iconic problems that have become a rite of passage in the forest.
What makes it unmissable is the mix of legendary Bleau style and modern competition mastery—Janja’s calm execution on slippery slopers and subtle footwork turns classic testpieces into a masterclass. If you love watching world-class movement on historic boulders, this is a clean hit of motivation in under seven minutes.
Ryuichi Murai heads to Finland for his first visit and sets his sights on one of climbing’s most iconic modern tests: Burden of Dreams. In just a few minutes, this film captures the intensity of stepping onto a boulder problem that has defined the top end of the sport.
If you love high-end bouldering, this is pure focus—precision on razor holds, the battle with conditions, and the mental effort it takes to commit when every move feels irreversible. It’s a short, high-pressure glimpse into what “world’s hardest” really means when the camera is rolling and the stakes are personal.
Ryan Mitchell condenses the full Mount Everest experience into one day-by-day, hour-by-hour journey—from the long approach to base camp, through the chaos of the Khumbu Icefall, up the ladder of higher camps, and into the final summit day.
With nearly five hours of footage, this is the kind of film that lets you feel the grind: the patience of acclimatization, the logistics that never stop, and the thin-air decision-making where every step matters. It’s a rare, immersive window into what a 42-day Everest expedition really looks like when the camera doesn’t cut away from the hard parts.
Join Ryan Mitchell on one of the most intense mornings in alpinism: the push from Camp 4 to the summit of Mount Everest. With oxygen on, headlamp hours ticking by, and the mountain deciding who gets to pass, this is a front-row look at what “summit day” really feels like.
What makes this film worth watching is the raw, moment-to-moment reality—managing cold, fatigue, and altitude while moving with purpose in the death zone. Backed by Garret Madison and his Sherpa team, it’s an honest snapshot of teamwork, preparation, and the thin line between ambition and survival on the world’s highest peak.
Black Diamond Presents: Hard Sends with Seb Bouin follows BD athlete Seb Bouin as he takes on Bibliographie (9b+ / 5.15c), one of the hardest sport routes on the planet, on the razor-edged limestone of Céüse in France. Known for power and endurance, Seb steps into terrain he calls his anti-style—tiny crimps and sharp pockets—where every attempt is a lesson in patience.
This is a process film at full volume: real setbacks, doubt, and the slow grind of dialing movement, skin, and mindset until the pieces finally align. If you love seeing what it actually takes to earn a world-class send—micro-beta refinements, pressure management, and the stubborn belief that one more try might be the one—this journey delivers.
