Colorado - The Scoop (2019)

Week of March 23, 2020

Colorado - The Scoop drops you into a backyard bouldering discovery that quickly turns into a full-on power session. In June 2019, Chad Greedy and Isabelle Faus uncover a striking new block stacked with steep, physical movement and invite friends Giuliano, Daisuke, Daniel, and Shawn to put the obvious lines to the test—turning a local find into a concentrated burst of Colorado rock climbing energy. What makes this one worth your seven minutes is the mix of raw discovery and real progression: first ascents on Jeremiah (V12), Chimichanga (V13), Critter (V13), and the burly Muscle Car (V14) with a hard-earned second go. It’s crisp, no-nonsense bouldering—powerful moves, tight crew vibes, and the feeling that even after the sends, the story isn’t finished, with tougher link-ups still waiting on the stone.

Od palice k vrtu - Direct Alpine

Week of February 17, 2020

Od palice k vrtu – Direct Alpine je krátký lezecký dokument, který staví do hlavní role charismatického Petra „Špeka“ Slaninu a jeho osobitý pohled na české klasické pískovcové lezení. Film má podobu „real life přednášky“ z prostředí, kde se rodí nápady, etika i metoda prvovýstupů – a bere vás od kořenů tradičního přístupu až k otázkám, které přinesl modernější vývoj. Stojí za to ho vidět, protože nejde jen o výkony na skále, ale o příběh řemesla: jak se přemýšlí o jištění, proč se dělají rozhodnutí, která zvenku vypadají nepochopitelně, a co všechno je za slovem „dobrodružství“ na písku. Oceňovaný snímek (včetně několika diváckých cen) kombinuje humor, zkušenost a poctivou lezeckou kulturu – ideální pro každého, kdo chce víc než jen rychlé záběry z vrcholu.

Adam Ondra #50: New Milestone

Week of January 27, 2020

In Adam Ondra #50: New Milestone, Adam returns to Stránská skála on the edge of Brno—an iconic crag that once served as an “outdoor climbing gym” for generations who trained on whatever they could find. With most lines long since climbed, tweaked, and eliminated into endless variations, Adam sets his sights on a lingering local challenge that somehow stayed untouched, chasing a personal benchmark that feels like both a tribute to the place and a step forward in his Road to Tokyo era. This short film is a tight dose of motivation: thoughtful context about how climbers build strength, focus, and movement over years, then the satisfying tension of watching a world-class athlete test himself on a problem that refuses to give in easily. Expect a grounded, vlog-like atmosphere, sharp climbing moments, and the special appeal of seeing “one last” milestone attempted on a well-worn training ground—plus a tease of an upcoming 360° bonus climb that hints at an even more immersive perspective to come.
