High above the Baltoro Glacier in Pakistan’s Karakoram, the Trango Towers rise like stone skyscrapers—remote, steep, and brutally beautiful. In this film, Edu Marín, supported by his brother Alex and father Novato, sets his sights on a landmark objective: the second free ascent of Eternal Flame on the Nameless Tower.
This is big-wall climbing at its most committing—thin air, huge exposure, and the kind of sustained focus that turns every pitch into a test of nerve and endurance. With the history of the route looming in the background and the scale of the wall never letting up, it’s a gripping watch for anyone who loves ambitious lines, family teamwork, and the sharp edge where adventure meets performance.
STORROR steps out of the urban skyline and into the ocean for a first-hand taste of deep water soloing—where the only “pad” is the sea and every move has consequences. Blending their signature fearlessness with a new kind of exposure, the crew learns what it means to commit above water with nothing but movement skill and nerve.
If you love watching athletes adapt on the fly, this one delivers: real reactions, playful chaos, and the constant tension of trying hard while knowing a miss means a splash. It’s a crossover film that captures the addictive mix of risk, flow, and freedom that makes DWS so watchable—equal parts adventure, technique, and pure fun.
Alex Honnold steps into his so-called “trad dad” era in this Black Diamond short, but the mission is anything but mellow. Tag along as Honnold links up with BD athletes Carlo Traversi and Nik Berry for a day of trad-cragging near Tahoe, bushwhacking into the mountains in search of an obscure, clean splitter.
What makes this one click is the contrast: laid-back banter and big-name familiarity set against real effort, uncertainty, and the honest sting of jamming. Shot and crafted by Traversi, it’s a tight hit of modern trad—earned approaches, committing cracks, and a reminder that Honnold’s engine still runs hot when the rock turns steep and the hands start hurting.
How Small Do Climbing Holds REALLY Get?! is a fast, visual tour through outdoor bouldering grades—from friendly V0 jugs to the razor-thin reality of V14—set in Targasonne, a home crag in the French Pyrenees. Alex Tighe and Lucie Allard guide you through what actually changes as the grades rise: not just the holds, but the movement, precision, and commitment required to keep progressing.
What makes this one worth your time is the clear, grade-by-grade comparison that puts “hard” into perspective. You’ll see how footwork, body tension, and finger strength become non-negotiable as holds shrink into micro-crimps, plus a mix of styles (overhangs, slopers, highball moments) that mirrors what real outdoor sessions feel like. If you climb indoors and wonder what the jump outside looks like—or you’re chasing your next limit—this is a motivating benchmark video.
Black Diamond Presents: Hard Sends with Seb Bouin—Wolf Kingdom follows Seb Bouin on one of the most striking hard sport lines in France: Wolf Kingdom. Rated 9b+/5.15c, it’s the kind of limestone testpiece that defines an era—but for Seb, the real story isn’t just the number, it’s what it takes to stay committed through a long, demanding project.
This episode dives into the rhythm behind elite performance: decision-making, patience, and the quiet confidence to keep showing up until it all clicks. With perspective from top climbers like Adam Ondra and Jakob Schubert as they begin to eye Seb’s routes, it’s a rare look at how world-class climbs become magnets for the next wave—and why the process can matter even more than the send.
Arc'teryx Presents: Climbing Through follows professional climber Julia Niles as she steps out of the swirl of everyday obligations—motherhood, guiding, and her counseling practice—and into the steep, committing world of big-wall climbing in Chile’s Cochamó Valley, invited by friend and pro athlete Em Pellerin.
High above the ground and tied together on the wall, the film turns each deliberate move into a lesson in presence: slowing down, trusting the partnership, and reconnecting with why climbing matters. It’s a grounded, intimate adventure story that pairs real life with real exposure—and leaves you wanting to breathe deeper, climb smarter, and savor the moment you’re in.
In Flashed, Babsi Zangerl sets her sights on the 3,000-foot Free Rider on El Capitan—and does what no one has done before: a true flash of one of the world’s most iconic big walls. With partner Jacopo Larcher, she commits to a ground-up effort that stretches across three intense days on Yosemite granite.
This isn’t just a headline ascent. The film digs into the texture of the attempt—slick slabs, gnarly offwidths, and sequences that only reveal themselves when you’re already in too deep—while showing the calm, trust, and grit it takes to keep moving upward. If you want a front-row seat to history and the human story behind it, this one delivers.
Chris Sharma returns to the waterline for a historic first ascent: Black Pearl, one of his hardest deep water solo routes, climbed above the blue of Mallorca. This is pure commitment—no rope, no margin—just movement, exposure, and the sound of the sea below.
What makes this film unmissable is the rare, intimate look at a milestone climb as it happens: the decisions, the precision, and the courage it takes to keep trying when the consequences are real. If you love the feeling of high-stakes adventure climbing and the artistry of a master operating at his limit, Black Pearl delivers in nine unforgettable minutes.
