The Lappnor Project is a gripping documentary following Finnish climber Nalle Hukkataival on his relentless pursuit of what would become one of the most significant achievements in climbing history. Deep in the forests of Finland, a boulder problem deemed by many to be beyond human capability waited — and Nalle spent nearly four years of his life trying to prove otherwise. What makes this film essential viewing is not just the moment of success, but the raw portrayal of obsession, failure, and resilience that defines elite climbing at its highest level. When Nalle finally stood atop the Lappnor Project and proposed the grade of 9A (V17), he didn't just complete a climb — he redefined what the human body is capable of on rock, and cemented his name in the history of the sport forever.
