Barbara Zangerl - Nina Caprez - Neverending Story 8b+

Barbara Zangerl and Nina Caprez take on one of alpine climbing’s most iconic endurance tests: The Neverending Story (Unendliche Geschichte) 8b+ in the Rätikon. First established by Beat Kammerlander when it was considered the hardest multipitch route in the world, this razor-sharp line has remained so demanding that, more than 25 years later, only a tiny handful of climbers have managed a repeat. In just over fourteen minutes, Alpsolut Moving Pictures captures what it takes to translate cutting-edge sport-climbing ability onto a committing wall where every pitch matters. This film is worth watching for its rare look at elite performance in an unforgiving setting: long sequences of sustained difficulty, the rhythm of belays and lead changes, and the mental discipline required when there’s no easy way out. Beyond the grades, it’s a sharp, motivating portrait of partnership and precision—two climbers moving with purpose, managing fear and fatigue, and earning every meter of progress on a route that has humbled almost everyone who’s tried it.

The Neverending Story (Unendliche Geschichte) 8b+ was established by Beat Kammerlander in 199. At that time it was the hardest multipitch route of the world. Now, over 25 years later the route has just seen 2 repetitions. Barbara Zangerl and Nina Caprez are among those little group of climbers who are able to transfer there sportclimbing skills directly to the big climbs on the planet and teamed up after Silbergeier to try also the Never Ending Story together.
