Jade

Jade drops you into a short, high-intensity session with Daniel Woods as he works out the first ascent of an old Dave Graham project in the wild granite of Rocky Mountain National Park. Centered on the boulder problem “Jade” (V15), the film captures the focus, patience, and precision it takes to turn a long-standing idea into a real line. What makes it worth watching is the way it distills cutting-edge bouldering into a few gripping minutes: subtle body positions, razor-thin margins, and the calm commitment behind every attempt. Whether you’re chasing your own projects or just love seeing climbing at its absolute limit, Jade delivers that rare mix of power, problem-solving, and raw mountain atmosphere that stays with you after the final top-out.
