Makatea Vertical Adventure - Petzl

Makatea Vertical Adventure - Petzl is an invitation to discover Makatea, a remote island often called the “Pearl of Polynesia,” through a story that goes far beyond climbing. The film follows Maewan and a passionate group working hand-in-hand with local residents as new routes and new possibilities begin to take shape on the island’s limestone walls. What makes this worth watching is the blend of exploration and purpose: climbing as a catalyst for community, renewal, and a more sustainable future. Expect sweeping island atmosphere, the energy of a collaborative bolting and development effort, and a feel-good reminder of how vertical terrain can connect people and places in unexpected ways.
