Jakob Schubert returns to Mallorca’s legendary sea cliffs to take on one of deep water soloing’s most iconic challenges: Es Pontas. Fresh off previous successes on the island, he narrows his focus onto this famed line, where every move hangs above open water and every attempt demands total commitment.
Part 2 captures the real process—early tries, adjustments, setbacks, and the gritty determination it takes to keep coming back for a single explosive crux. Between sessions on other striking psicobloc testpieces and the final push on Es Pontas, you get a front-row seat to elite-level climbing where power, precision, and nerve all have to show up at once.
Tyler Karow, Imanol Amundarain, and Cedar Christensen head deep into Patagonia, Chile for a ten-day siege on the East Face of the Central Tower of Paine, chasing a team free ascent of the legendary South African Route. It’s big-wall climbing at full scale: hauling, fixing ropes, and committing to life in portaledges thousands of feet off the deck.
What sets this ascent apart is the absurdly good living in an otherwise brutal environment—wine on the wall, a mini cast iron oven, and daily baked meals that turn a suffering mission into a strange, floating kitchen. If you love expedition logistics, partner dynamics, and the quiet intensity of sustained 5.12c terrain in one of the world’s wildest ranges, this is a feast worth watching.
Join Scottish climber and filmmaker Dave MacLeod for a fast, high-stakes dash up Ben Nevis: a free solo of the legendary Left Hand Route on the Orion Face. In just a few minutes, the film drops you onto steep, cold stone high above the corries, where every move is deliberate, every foothold earned, and the exposure is as big as the mountain itself.
What makes this worth watching is the mix of pure commitment and crisp perspective—fluid solo climbing paired with striking aerial and immersive angles that let you feel the scale of the face and the precision of the climbing. It’s a bite-sized hit of Scottish adventure: quiet focus, big atmosphere, and the kind of controlled intensity that reminds you why we can’t look away when someone climbs with nothing but skill, nerve, and the line in front of them.
Burden of Dreams follows Will Bosi on his obsessive quest to climb what many consider the hardest boulder problem in the world — the Burden of Dreams in Lappnor, Finland. First climbed by Nalle Hukkataival in 2016, the V17 problem had repelled every challenger for seven years. Bosi's journey begins in Sheffield, where he trained on a 3D-printed replica of the holds, methodically building the strength and precision needed before ever setting foot in Finland.
What makes this film compelling is the rare combination of raw ambition and meticulous preparation it documents. Over three weeks at the boulder, Bosi dissects each movement with surgical focus, and the film captures both the grinding frustration and the electrifying moment on April 12, 2023, when he finally sends. It is a masterclass in high-level bouldering and mental fortitude — essential viewing for anyone who wants to understand what it takes to climb at the absolute limit of human possibility.
Ryuichi Murai returns to Shiobara, Japan to establish Nexus—a razor-sharp new boulder problem and first ascent at V16/8C+. In this tight, no-nonsense session, you get a clear look at the movement, the intensity of the attempts, and the commitment it takes to link everything together on a true top-end line.
What makes this worth watching is the combination of precision and power: body tension through steep terrain, problem-solving on the fly, and the satisfying arc from tries to send. It’s a short film that captures the real feel of hard bouldering—small margins, big effort, and a clean finish on an iconic new climb.
Brooke Raboutou takes on Traphouse, one of the most coveted boulder problems in the game, graded 8B/V13. In a stunning display of technical precision, she unlocks the crux with a remarkable finger lock sequence and sends the problem in a single day.

Darkest Before Dawn follows Belgian climber Siebe Vanhee as he steps onto one of the most intimidating stages in climbing: Yosemite’s legendary Dawn Wall. It’s a candid look at a first full season of learning, failing, adapting, and returning to the stone—where the challenge isn’t just the moves, but everything that comes with being thousands of feet off the deck.
What makes this film pop is its raw, unpolished honesty paired with cinematic big-wall atmosphere: the quiet battles with fear, fatigue, and doubt, the micro-progress that only a wall can teach, and the hypnotic beauty of bodies working on tiny edges in vast space. If you love stories about process over podiums, this is a gripping reminder that breakthroughs are built in the darkest hours before dawn.
