In this film, Nathaniel Coleman heads back to Thunder Ridge, Colorado to chase a new standard in modern bouldering: the first ascent of “No One Mourns the Wicked,” graded V17/9A. Building on the legacy of Daniel Woods’s original line “Defying Gravity,” Nathaniel sets his sights on an audacious low start that turns an already brutal problem into something bordering on the impossible.
What makes this worth watching is the obsession with a single, low-percentage move—one of those razor-thin cruxes where every attempt teaches you something, and mastery is earned the hard way. It’s a sharp, focused look at elite-level projecting: precision, patience, and the mental grind of returning until the move finally unlocks.
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.

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.

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.

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.
